Fetey- Shopa, the Lions’ rugged little second-string fullback,
who. has already scored three touchdowns in his first two games
as a varsity performer, has found himself replacing last yeaifs grid
captain, Owen Dougherty, as the newest hero of- the folks in the
anthracite region around Scranton.
As- 'a schoolboy star at Blakely High School,' Pete
Bears”,' as they are per-1 * L
ennially known in the coal re-1
gion; to % two consecutive Eastern
’ Conference championships.
Thopgh he weighed only some
where in .the 150’,'
Pete' grabbed
plenty of sglory,
for himself,
when he was
chosen for two
years straight on
the Lackawanna
County All-
Scholastic teams
and the All-
State elevens.
It’s no easy job becoming ,the
favorite boy in an area where
football talent is in abundance
Pete gets, plenty of competition
from. such worthies as Ray Ar
cangeletti, Miami’s defensive cap
tain and linebacker; Nick Chick
illo, Miami’s big, rough soph
guard; Bob “Choo Choo” Shemon
ski, Maryland’s h a r g i n g
halfback;-Tony Trunzo, a sopho
more lineman at Villanova; Pete
Boriani, a high school teammate
of Pete’s, and a first string end
at Detroit U.; and many others.
Pete joins quite an impressive
list of coal region boys who have
made names for themselves while
at State., '
Chuck Cherundolo, Old
Forge, captained the 1936 Nit
iany eleven from his center
position, and later went on to
play pro ball for the Pittsburgh
Sleelers. .
Sam ; Donato, who. .hailed from
Dunmore, Dougherty’s home
town, captained the Lion team
after Cherundolo ip 1937, Donato
was ablocking back from Bob
Higgins’ single-wring. Sam was
also boxing captain': the 1 same
year, and is now head football
coach, at West Scranton High
School. • *
Lou Palassi. another E>un
morean, was the center and
captain of the 1942 Lion squad
which finished with a'6-I'rec
ord. Lou went on to play with
the New York football Giants,
'and served as.line coach under
Donato at West Scranton until
this season.
What makes Pete Shopa’s
chances of becoming one of the
best to' come - out of a region of
greats is the fact that he is only
a sophomore, and is already loot
ing good. :

Government
Brings Suit
Against NFL
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9
Demanding the end 'of- all restric
tions ■on television and pa di o
broadcasts of sports events, the
federal government today brought
suit against the National Foot
ball 'League, accusing it of violat
ing federal; anti-trust laws.
The Justice Department said
it picked the NFL for this test
cslse because it is ’“the worst in
respect to having the greatest re
strictions” dn radio and TV of
any major sports activity.”
The suit asked the U. S. dis
trict court to issue an injunction
prohibiting the NFL from, re
strictingl television and radio
broadcasts of its football games.
, . Only Beginning
H. Graham Morison, assistant
attorney general in charge of
anti-trust activity, hinted that if
the government is - successful. in
its move against the NFL, it will
take similar action to set free
professional baseball, college foot
ball, boxing, and other sports:
' “If the shoe fits,” Morison told
a hastily-gathered news confer
ence, “then we’ll see what.hapr
pens.”

liams was good- for ar touchdown.
, The first fraternity game of
the evening resulted in an over
time' battle with Acacia finally
edging Theta Kappa Phi, 1-0,
when the ball was resting on the
Theta Kappa Phi 47-yard line
after the six overtime plays were
completed.
Acacia made the only serious
threat to score in the regulation
game. In the first half, Wayne
Williams pitched a lateral out to
George Ripple who threw a long
pass to David Evans on the Theta
Kappa Phi 2 yard line. The play
Govered ’54 yards, but a 15 yard
penalty -helped prevent Acacia
from scoring.
Kappa Delta Rho scored on an
interception to defeat Alpha
Gamma Rho - 6-0 in the fourth
game of the evening. Earl Gris
singer intercepted a pass on tHS
Alpha Gamma Rho 35, lateraled
it to John Haines, and Haines re
turned it to Grissinger who scored
the touchdown.
Dorm 8 and Atherton Hall
played in the fifth game, but the
results were not available.

doubtful that McDougald’s high
fly would have reached the. seats
at the stadium. Rizzuto’s lucky
push shot only a few feet, from
the foul line would have been
only a 257-foot out in the Yank
park. ■
.. The Giants contrived two, of
their five hits and their only run
off Lopat in the first when Alvin
Dark lined a single to left and
came all the way home on Monte
Irvin’s single which leftfielder
Gene Woodling bobbled.
After that Easy Ed had them
hogtied and ready for market.
The chunky portsider permitted
only one Giant to reach second
in the last eight innings. That
was on catcher Wea Westrum’s
double in ’ the fourth, and Wes
never saw third. Lopat issued
only one' walk, to Willie Mays
to open the second inning. He
struck, out three. '
■ Only Dark and Irvin continued
to thrive on Yankee hurling. Each
whacked a pair of singles in a
hopeless, cause. Irvin’s brace ran
his total for the five games played
to 11, tying 'the record'for safe
ties in a six-game series. -The
most ever hit in any series'was
12, by -four different players. A
tremendous one-handed catch- by.
Gene Woodling in deep left-cen
ter. robbed Irvin of what- looked
like a certain triple in the ninth.
