After lx games the Maroon and White nd Gold and Blue are all tied p in the victory column at three rins apiece.ALL SIX contests have been hrlllers, however but It's doubt -ul If any can approach the4 toss-tp* status of the 1968 contest.Last year Handley’s power-louse was favored by at least ;even to 14 points by most of he area sportswriters going ln-o the first ‘Dream Game’ at he Handley Bowl.This year the situation Is exactly the same as a year ago vith both local powers sporting iparkllng 9-0 records. The dlf ’erence this year is the compar itlvely even strength of both teams.In the six previously games probably the closest matchupThrough. The YearsHandleyJames Wood19622561963101319640391965741196627191967140came In 1963 when James Wood 13-10. That game went to the final gun with a tackle-eligible touchdown pass to Dickie A Hanson providing the winning margin.DESPITE the postponement, a record - breaking crowd is expected to Jam JW Stadium for the 8 p.m. fray. All area high schools are finished with their grid schedules with the exception of Fort Hill, Allegany, Bishop Walsh, and Beall of the Cumberland area. Those four teams play Thanksgiving Day games.ONLY TWO games have been runaways and both of those wins were provided by the Colonels. The Frederick County eleven pounded Handley, 39-0 In 1964 and 41-7 In '65 as Chuck Marks and Company dominated the area scene.James Wood's wins In '64 and »65 gave the Colonels a pad In the points - scored department. James Wood has tallied 118 points in the six games while Handley has 83.Since the Northwesterr League's inception In 1960-61, the Judges and Colonels have won two football titles apiece. Handley's trophjps were won In 1951 by Jimmy Anderson and Company and last year while James Wood's trophies came in '64 and '65 when Marks wer the kingpin In Colonelland.The victor this year will also get the NW League football trophy to break the tie In that department.) /V NW League
