initial encounter of the spring semester ..for our Mountain Lions in the Pennsyl

ing team# Our lads under Coach Frank Antinozzi put up a great battle as was
evidenced by the 23-23 tie score at half-time#

period, and after that the outcome of the gome was never in doubt » The score
at the third period was Hershey 40, Hazleton 29# Hazleton came back strong in
the last period , but was unable to overcome the lead piled up by Hershey*
The final score—Hershey Hazleton $O 9

eight wins and no defeats—came to do battle with our Lions this past Saturday,
February 7# As usual, our favorites went down to defeat—by a score of 94 to 5i
The Lions played a listless ball game; they were caught off their guard
many times by the speedy, and smooth-passing basketoers from York, From the
starting whistle York started its victory march with the dash and spirit of a ‘
team that knew its capabilities and went all out to use them# Our Lions, if
they only had that same dash and spiritcould well nigh be an unbeatable team*

margin at half-time* Our Lions came back strong in the last quarter, but it was
too late; the margin was too high to overcomes
