11 Die In Crash Of Navy Plane

CHINCOTEAGUE, VA. (UP)- A Navy patrol bomber crashed and exploded in flames at the Chincoteague Naval Air Station Tuesday, killing all 11 persons aboard.

The twin-engined P2V6M struck the ground a short distance from the base, which is located six miles east of here on Virginia's eastern shore.

Police headquarters here said the plane apparently crashed on take-off.

"There was a crash which sounded like thunder here," a police officer said.

"We don't know whether the explosion happened in the air or on the ground, but we do know it could be heard six miles away."

The Navy said 11 men were on the plane and all were killed. The spokesman said the plane was on a routine flight from Chincoteague to the Marine base at Cherry Point, N.C.

The crash occurred 90 seconds after the patrol bomber took off on its flight, the Navy said.

Maryland State Eyes 5th Unbeaten Season

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. (AP)- Four unbeaten football seasons in the last seven and well on the way to another is Maryland State today.

That's Maryland State- not the University Of Maryland which you might think at first glance.

This year they're going side by side down the football victory trail with seven apiece and no defeats. Maryland State has scored 176 points to 19 for the opposition.

Behind the teams which was undefeated in 1949, 1950, 1953, and 1954 regular season schedules is Coach Vernon McCain. In his seven years he has the imposing record of 61 victories, 1 tie- and 5 defeats.

High School football was set to make its debut in Worcester County with teams in Snow Hill and Berlin but Pocomoke would not yet be fielding a team. The county commissioners had approved approximately $33,000 for each of the three High Schools for a football program. Pocomoke chose to use its first year funding for improvements to its athletic field, while continuing with its soccer program. Snow Hill and Berlin would continue their soccer programs as well.
