VICTORY OVER LEHMAN CLINCHES
TITLE FOR WALTER HICKS’ TEAM
Powerful Kingston Township Eleven Tallies 2% First Downs
To Lehman’s Six; Won Five, Tied Two And Lost Two;
K. T. H. S. Also Won 1937 Championship
FOOTBALL EECoBDS OF THREE LOCAL SCHOOLS
For the second successive year, Coach ‘Walter Hicks’ Kingston Township
“High School football team reigns supreme over local scholastic elevens.
mythical Back Mountain Conference
The
title was decided Thanksgiving Day
\ ;
when Kingston Township High School's gridders swamped Lehman 34-0 on
‘the Trucksville gridiron.
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.

Curtains Closing
On Record Season
Notre Dame-U.S.C. 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.
