Last season the Woodward team, like their neighbors, the Washington Senators, lost a series of heart- breakers by a one-run margin. This season both the Red Devils and the Senators are banking on youth to make their presence strongly felt in their respective leagues. Woodward ' s infield will be sparked by the fine keystone combination of two lettermen, John Zoeller and David Alexander, and a newcomer, John Bushong. Coach Zook is proud of some up-and-coming stars. These include Dick Bramley, Tom DeHart, and Ray Lupo. However, the bulk of the team will be made up of neophyte aspirants drawn from the lower classes. These promising rookies and veterans will handle a light, but exceedingly tough schedule, including such opponents as: Woodward - Oxon Hili Woodward - N. T. S. Woodward - Suitland Woodward - Bullis Prep Woodward - Chamberlain Woodward - Priory The complete schedule was not available at the time the sports section went to press. [Editor ' s note] 62

Barnett. The Red Devils quintet of 1955-1956 showed steady improvement, and with a few breaks on the road would have posted a very presentable season ' s record. Coach Earl B. Zook ' s men started slowly, then hit their stride by mid-season. Although the schedule was not the heaviest, as compared to other Prep schools, the Devils were kept busy meeting high ranking and rugged competition. Their most exciting game was the opener, which the Red Devils won, defeating their long-time rival — Columbian Prep. Co-Captains George Jalepes and John Zoeller held the team together with their consistent floor plays and timely scoring. Captain John Zoeller finished with a surge to lead the team with a 17-point per game average and a high point total of 265, which assured him a berth on three All-Prep squads. cnedule Woodward 42 DeMatha 59 Woodward 48 Quantico 41 Woodward 61 Kendall Prep 41 Woodward 41 St. Anthony ' s 62 Woodward 62 Capitol Page 36 Woodward 29 American Univ.

Woodward ' s 1955-56 Junior Varsiry basketball team lost but one game all season. Beset by a lack of hopefuls, the kid Red Devils opened and closed their uncluttered season against St. Albans in January. Thereafter the squad spent its time scrimaging against the Varsity. Coach Zook labeled the season a success. We developed quite a few youngsters who will be on the varsity squad next year, he said. 63
