THE DALLAS POST, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1939
PAGE THR:
CHAMPIONS LOST ONE GAME
TO BLOCK PERFECT RECORD
Dallas Township ended its triumphant
basketball throne Friday night with a de
ch to the rural scholastic
e 31,24 victory over Laketon. At
the same time a smoothly working sextet from Kingston Township High School
cinched the girls’ pennant by beating Lehman 31,20.
Winding up a one-sided season, the
final results of which have never been
in doubt for the past month, Dallas
Township had scored fifteen wins, bow-
ing only to Dallas Borough. )
In the girls’ league, howaver, a nip-
and-tuck battle has raged between the
borough girls and K. T. H. S. since
the early part of the season. If the
Kingston Township girls had lost to
Lehman Friday night, a playoff for
first place with the borough would
have been called. As the season end-
ed, however, K. T. H. S. retained a
two-game lead over Dallas with six
victories and one loss. The local sex-
tet had five wins and two losses, and
Dallas Township, Lehman and Laketon
followed in order.
Chaps Outstanding Quintet
The 16-game schedule, used this
year for the first time in the rural
league, made Dallas Township one of
the outstanding teams in the history
of this section. While Dallas Township
lost Thursday night to a faster and
more experienced Sugar Notch quintet
ir the first game of the district play-
offs, the increased playing season may
produce a winner from this section in
years to come.
Some reason for the one-sided race
this year may be found in the double
advantage Dallas Township has had
from the first. The township not only
had the biggest and fastest team of
the rural league, but one of the out-
standing scoring acse of the district,
James Knecht.
The borough boys, six games out of
first place with eight wins and seven
losses, had a chance to catch up with
Dallas Township in the first half of the
season, but dropped too far behind in
a series of disappointing games in
February. Lehman Township, cham-
pions of last year, had been entirely
out of the running since early in Jan-
vary, finally finishing in fourth place
with four wins and eleven losses.
Borough Shy One Game
A postponement has limited both
Lehman and Dallas Borough to fifteen
games each. Since the borough leads
third-place K. T. H. S. by only one
game, a playoff would officially decide
second place honors. No announce-
ment of the playoff was made this
week, and it is believed that the game
will not be played.

James And Estes Chat
With Frantz, Read Post
The Post was interesting enough to
check affairs of State two weeks ago.
Governor Arthur H. James and his
adviser, Col. Carl Estes of Texas, stop-
ped in at Gerald Frantz’s store at
Huntsville Saturday before last, saw
a copy of The Post on sale and spent
five minutes reading up on local com-
ings and goings before continuing on
their way.
In a conversation with Mr. Frantz,
Governor James said it was his first
visit to the store in forty years. He
used to drop in at the store, owned
then by the late A. J. Rogers, during
boyhood fishing excursions to Hunts-
ville.

PAUL FISKE WINS BOUT
AT ARMORY; SHOWS FINE
FORM IN SECOND FIGHT
Exhibiting a powerful left jab
which repeatedly found its mark,
Paul Fiske, Dallas, scored a techni-
cal knockout on Monday night
over his opponent in the South
Main Street Armory, Wilkes-
Barre.
It was Fiske’s second fight but
he displayed a coolness worthy of
a more experienced boxer. Also
noteworthy was his close guard,
which saved him from most of the
haymakers his opponent threw.
Referee Kelly stopped the contest
after Fiske had his man groggy.
Tommy Dropchinski, Lehman
amateur, did not fight Monday
night.

foul shots to amass 187 points for an-
other remarkable scoring record.
