Powerful and deceptive, the Kings- ton Township eleven gained 27 first downs to Lehman's six and demon- strated complete superiority in every department of the game before a crowd of 800. The champions scored on three . touchdown drives, an intercepted pass and a 35yard pass from Isaacs to Newhart. On the defensive, Kings- ton Township effectively bottled up the Lehman passing attack, Coach Mal McCulloch’s only hope for vic- tory. As much as anything, the champion- ship game showed that Xingston Township, with a bigger squad, bet- ter material and a faster schedule, is and should be in a better class than the other teams competing in the Back Mountain region. Playing in the Luzerne County “B! League, the Trucksville gridders won five, tied twe and lost two, scored 106 points to their opponents’ 61, to hang up their best season in many years.

Contest Saturday To Decide ‘Mythical Title By PIGSKIN The record-breaking crowds, the exciting upsets, the powerful teams of the 1938 football season will be his- tory soon, but the season can’t end of- ficially before Saturday, when Notre Dame and the University of Southern California meet in a game which, in the opinion of many, will decide the mythical championship of the United States, : Elmer Layden’s Thundering Herd, best team to come out of South Bend since Knute Rockne’s day, seems now to have a stronger claim for the na- tional championship than Texas Chris- tain, Tennessee or Duke, and a vic- tory over U. S. C. will give the Fight- ing Trish a clear title to the honor. The biggest crowd 'of the year was the 102,000 persons who saw Army de- feat Navy, 14 to 7, on Thanksgiving Day. Notre. Dame pulled the biggest audiences of the year, having played so far before close to 400,000 fans in eight games. Besides its crowds the season was notable also for an inor- dinate number of last-minute rallies in which the field goal rivaled the for- ward pass as the instrument of vie- tory; better schedules, making for more attractive competition, and per- fect weather that lasted almost to the end of the season.
