REVIEW
cise a - ..,,E
@® IT WOULD be hard to find a
more pessimistic man than Walt
Hicks, who predicts awful things
for the Kingston Township High
football team each season, and never
gets a chance to say “I told you so.”
At the other extreme is Coach
Thorwald Lewis—we call him Lou,
because Theorwald is a trifle too in-
spiring for anyone, even a football
coach at Dallas Township.
Year after year, Dallas Town-
ship has lots of big boys on the
squad. And year after year
the big boys let smaller boys on
other teams through for one too
many touchdowns per game.
Yet Lou is an incurable optimist.
“We're going to town this week,”
says Lou after each defeat. “The
boys played a swell game last week,
only they were a little overconfi-
dent or something.”
@® WHY DALLAS Township play-
ers should be over confident is more
than we know. But if Lou says
they are, that’s enough for us. Any-
way, it shows that he has a lot of
faith in the boys’ faith in their own
ability.
This year the Dallas players are
smaller than they have ever been.
Maybe smallness is what they need,
to cut down overconfidence and
build up that sick, defeated feeling
that wins games.
Maybe Dallas will even win
the local championship this
year. At least, they ought to
do better than they did last
season, claims Lou, happily.
After all, he says, they couldn’t
do much worse.
Dallas plays Edwardsville High
in its opening game Saturday after-
If the local boys beat Ed-
noon.
wardsville, anything is likely to
happen. Last year they lost only
by six points.
® GETTING BACK to Walt Hicks
and Kingston Township, we found
this week that prospects are as bad
as ever.
About the only things that the
Orange and Black warriors do right,
claims Walt, is calisthenics. The
Kingston Township boys are good at
exercises, all right. Every afternoon
they wear their paunchy coach to
a frazzle just showing them what
to do.
But to us, Kingston Town-
ship looks pretty good in some
other respects, also. In great
shape after over two weeks of
reconditioning, the players are
blocking and tackling viciously
enough to suit any coach, even
Walt Hicks, and they are run-
ning their plays as smoothly as
ever.
Out of about 25 likely-looking
gridders, five .are veterans of two
years or more competition. The
guard position, important in the
Hicks system, are held by two tried
and true players, Lou Evans and
Claude Warden. Evans is fast and
a good blocker, besides an outstand-
ing defense man. And Warden was
an all-conference (Luzerne County
League) guard two years ago, and
is just two years better now than
he was then.
@® NEWHART, a senior who has
played a lot of good ball for Walt
over the past two years, is an end
from last year’s eleven, and in the
backfield are two veterans, McFad-
den and Stencil.
Walt expects great things from
Stencil this year, or as much as
he allows himself to expect. 185
pounds of solid muscle and grit,
Stencil is as fine a fullback as
Kingston Township has ever had.
But while Kingston Township
will try as hard as ever to keep
pace in the rural league and
win its share of games in the
Luzerne County, the team to
watch in this section is Leh-
man Township High, according
to Walt.
Their new coach, Morgan, will do
wonders with a swell crew of re-
serves from last year, Walt thinks.
@® IT LOOKS as if this will be our
last column... Next week we're go-
ing to leave The Post for more
Elysian fields.
And on the chance that we won't
be able to get down to play with
the Post Panthers, the only team
able to beat Kingston Township, we
are thinking of giving up the whole
idea, unless someone else would
care to carry on in our place. Any
offers ?

NEW LUZERNE HIGH TEAM
MEETS ST. MARY'S TONIGHT
With victory depending on the power of an inexperienced line,
Coach Tony Demboski’s Luzerne
More than half the team, whi
But while only two of the re-
turning varsity players are line-
men, Demboski pins his hopes for a
successful season on the perform-
ance of the forward wall.
The inexperience oi the new line,
and the fact that injuries have ham-
pered early season sessions, will
make tonight's game a real struggle
for the Lions. In last year’s opener,
the Saints held Luzerne to a score-
less tie.
The return of three veteran backs,
Sam Roccograndi, Gene Kryor and
Pete Yurashes, gives Demboski a
wealth of backfield power to begin
the season. Joe Hutsko and Bill Dia-
kovich are the prime candidates for
quarterback, and either may start
tonight's game. Tony Chernetski,
substitute back last year, and
Butch Suponcic, frosh back, who
has shown real promise in practice
scrimmages, are also seeking a place
on the varsity eleven.
Left end Grandin White and
Center Stanley Bogden are the only
varsity linemen left in the squad.
Gene Brennan and Don Farrell, hard
working subs of last year, may start
the game tonight. Ted Wesley and
Walter Gorewich are in line for
guard position, along with Ed Stra-
vinski and William Ciconi. Joe
Quather and Farrell are outstanding
choice as tackles, with Al Nemetka
and Dan Bogdon as alternates.
Four players are seeking starting
position at right end, Thomas Kalak,
Ray Guido, Bobby Hughes and Al
Slavinski. ;
The Lions play a nine-game sched-
ule this season, facing seven con-:
férence teams, and ending the sea- |
son November 18 against Berwick. |

Birds Compete

Kelly's Silver Streak
Wings Home In Lead
Making up for her disappointing
showing a week earlier, when she
came in a day late, Silver Streak,
Louis Kelly’s crack racing pigeon,
winged her way 131 miles from
Chambersburg last Sunday to take
first place in the third event of Dal-
las Dairy Pigeon Club.
Silver Streak flew the distance
in 3 hours, 7 minutes and 31 sec-
onds for an average speed of 1233.12
yards per minute, fast time con-
sidering the inclement weather.
Seventy-three birds from the nine
local lofts competed. The next race
will be flown from Winchester, Va.,
and birds will be counter-marked
Friday afternoon at 3.
Results of last week’s event: L.
Kelly, 1233.12 yards; A. N. Garinger,
1227.04 yards; W. Garinger, 1224.01
yards; W. Garringer, 1223 82 yards;
L. Kelly, 1223.04 yards; R. Fleming,
1219.20 yards; Shavertown loft,

Exciting Finish
For North B League
An exciting finish in the semi-
finals of the Susquehanna North B
League championship playoffs is due
Sunday, with both the Miners Mills-
| East End and Paramount-Ashley
series tied.
A series for the B League trophy
will be played between the North
B champs and Glen Lyon, winner
of the South B championship.
Senior A League playoffs began
Sunday with a protest victory and
a 12-inning tie. Mocanaqua Eagles,
who ended in first place with 14
wins and four losses, defeated War-
rior Run, 5-3, in a game protested
by the Cubs.
The protest will be re-played this
Sunday, along with a game between
the Wilkes-Barre Grays and New-
town Dixies, halted by darkness
after they had battled 12 innings
to a 4-4 tie.

DALLAS TOWNSHIP
TO OPEN SEASON
AT EDWARDSVILLE
Making its debut in the Lu-
zerne County League, Dallas
Township High School will open
its football season tomorrow
afternoon at Edwardsville.
Last year the Township elev-
en lost to Edwardsville, 12-6,
and may give the West Side
eleven even a better tussle this
time. While Coach Thorwald
Lewis has his lightest team in
years, the local players are
fast and shifty enough to be a
real threat in both the Luzerne
County and rural leagues.
~ Kingston Township High, ru-
ral champions last year, will
begin their season September
30 against Clark’s Summit on
the Trucksville gridiron. Walt
Hicks’ ‘team ended in fifth
place in the County League
last season.
BOWLING
Again the winter season of bow-
ling is having its turn. Monday
night found the boys somewhat up-
set. The alleys had been renovated
and the coat of shellac prevented
that hook from working and made
the boys squirm in their efforts to
hang up hig scores: Joe Simmons
managed to weather the storm and
came through with “high game”
and high ‘three games” to lead
the league.
With the new rule abolishing un-
necessary noise during the games,
the boys on 1 and 2 alleys seemed
to be lost . . . to the tune of three
points.
Pete Smith and his boys surprised
the Bon-Tonners in that first game
and hung up enough pins to take
extra point.
Joe Banks has released Frank
Zawatski. With the rules calling
for a weeks’ lay-off Zawatski will
bowl with Rahl’s during the third
week.
On account of not getting that
new shirt, Sarg will quit. Hope the
sponsor sees this.
John Sobeck was a busy man,
bowling and distributing the rules
and schedules.
George Wheeler needs a secre-
tary to fill out his score sheets. We
didn’t get that score sheet and
did not exist. Signatures of both
team captains must be on each
sheet.
Johnny Rosnick turns in the neat-
est score sheet. Thanks for those
extra pains in making the totals
plainly visible.
Stelma has been delegated to take
charge of adding for Piledgi’s, and
Steve Walko, without being told to
do so, filled out Wheeler's sheet.
For this we are very grateful to
Steve. How about you, Mad Rus-
sian ?
Next Tuesday all bowlers will
travel up to Hank’s for the big
opening of his place. Hank has the
old place looking great.

Rahl’s Market, winner of the St.

place. ’
Among the high scores were Bel-
las, 210, and Kender, 210, for single
games; Brown, 540, and Kittle, 573,
for match scores. With the alleys
just renovated the hook artists
found themselves in trouble.
