Spirited Dalle Basketball Team Defeats ‘Trueksville In Fast Game Trailing Through Three Quarters, Large Crowd Is Thrilled As Da llas Comes From Behind To Win PLAY LAKETON TONIGHT, "It was a weary and dejected Trucks wille basketball team that trudged off the floor after being trounced 28 to 21 by Dallas borough, Tuesday night at the ; borough’ gymnasium. Again it was in the second half that Dallas came up from behind to win. This feat was accomplished despite the ab- sence of two regulars, Disque and Mc- Guire. McGuire ‘sustained a wrench- ed knee in the White Haven game and it hadn't healed sufficiently to allow him to play. Disque’s niche was ably filled by Baker and J. Labar. $ After the first quarter which end- ed § to 4 in Dallas’ favor, Trucksville took things pretty well in their hands and led at the half 14 to 9, and 17 to 13 at the third quarter. In the last half, however, Dallas turned the tabl- es through a bit of clever team play and some accurate sharpshooting. Dallas rooters were literaly wild as an avalanche of baskets were tallied by their team. Trucksville called time out but that failed to stop the Dallas ‘machine which was determined to be champions in its own right. While Dallas borough holds the League championship, they are inele- gible to compete for the state cham- |pionship, having been disqualified for not paying its P. I. A. A. dues before November 1. ‘Old Forge and Luzerne were disqualified along with Dallas for the same reason. Luzerne has since entered a protest. Besteder was high point man for Dallas, making 15 points of the to- tal 28. Woolbert, especially, with his deceptive dribbling and fine floor work repeatedly brought the ball un- der the Dallas basket and had to be guarded closely at all times. ~~ M. Harris, brother of “Bucky” Har- ris, of baseball fame refereed the game in a commendable manner. Dallas Girls Victorious . * Finally overcoming their frustra- tion complex, Dallas girls basketball team set down in no uncertain terms the Kingston township girls team 22 to 5. The Dallas “femtet” showed fine form in winning. Play At Laketon Tonight d Dallas borough winds up its basket- ball season at Laketon, This is the remaining obstacle that must be hur- dled to keep the undisputed cham- pionship of the Bi-County Scholastic League, Should Dallas lose this game "In that event the tie will have to be In that event the tie will have to be broken by a play-off on a floor.

D. 1 Mehoopany, when he was remanded to Luzerne county jail Wednesday , night after a hearing before Squire Ralph Davis of Harvey's Lake. MacAdams’ patriotic ferver, though doubtful, was frowned on by the law because of his method of securing the money which is just as unpopular as ever even during these hectic days. On January 7, MacAdams entered the home of John Shorts of Harvey's Lake, while Mr. and Mrs. Shorts were attending a dance. In a trunk Mac- Adams found $44. in old bills. Dis- covering the loss upon their return from the dance, Mr. and Mrs, Shorts notified Chief Stevenson of Harvey's Lake police force. MacAdams, anxious to relieve the acute money shortage, soon started the old bills in circulation. Giving an | old $2 bill to some youngsters he ask- ed them. to go to the store of Ferm- | an Sorber near the Harvey's Lake | picnic grounds and buy him a pack- | age of cigarettes. Startled by the ap- | pearance of a $2 bill, Sorber made a | mental note of the transaction and no- tified Chief Stevenson. MacAdams disappeared. Through ‘some police work and the co-operation of | Wyoming county district attorney’s office, Chief Stevenson trailed Mac- Adams to his mountain retreat at | Forkston, Wyoming made the arrest bringing to an ab- rupt climax the career of one whose patriotism guided by personal desir- es was questioned by the law. — Kunkle Girl Scouts Troop Is Invested Before mothers and visitors newest Girl ‘Scout Troop of Wyoming Council, which is known as the Kun- kle Girl Scout Troop 59, was welcomed into the membership of the Council with impressive ceremonies on Sat- urday afternoon at Kunkle Grange Hall.
