“4 THE POST, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1941 PAGE THREE o * Dallas Borough Visits Laketon AsLehman Meets Dallas Township Kingston Township And Dallas Borough Lead League In First Of Season Games TONIGHT’S GAMES Dallas Borough at Laketon Lehman at Dallas Township With standing room at a premium, the crowd at Dallas Borough High School Gymnasium Friday night saw the home team defeat Dallas Town- ship 44-19 in a fast, snappy game from the first to the last shrill blast of the whistle. The Borough quintet outplayed the Township from start to finish with Price and Niemeyer taking the scoring honors, while Gould stood out with his superior floor work. Jewell and Kelly gave their teammates ex- cellent support and played a nice game. Bob Moore showed himself an up- and-coming young player when he went into the game to relieve Price. Moore is a sophomore and it was his first game. He was accurate in his shots and showed good floor work. Mitchell of the Township was out- standing. His work was largely re- sponsible for keeping his team from being completely annihilated. Girls Lose Dallas Borough Girls were favored to win. Fresh from a 19-10 victory over the Wyoming Seminary sextet in a game the day before when they held the lead for four periods with Kathleen Bogart taking scoring hon- ors, Coach Morgan’s charges looked good to defeat the Township. But the score was reversed. The game was close fought for three quarters when the Township found the hoop to come out of the contest on the long end of a 19-10 score. Grace Mahler was outstanding for the win- ners while Kathleen Bogart contin- ued her fine work for the losers. : Lehman Game Lehman's hopes for an undefeated season were shattered when Kings- ton Township emerged on the top end of a 21-19 score. It was a close fought contest with first one team and then the other surging ahead with scoring points. Williams and Jenkins did stellar work for the winners, while Chet Dropchinski, a sophomore, played a fine game for the losers. The K. T. H. S. five had height and were able to snatch the ball frequently from the fighting Lehman team. Lehman lost the ball many times when Jones, Lehman cager, showed that he was not fast enough for his com- rades. In the preliminary game, Kings- ton Township Girls took a 34-5 vic- tory from their Lehman competition.

William Bennett, School Director, Is Buried Today Death Closes Career Of Devoted Churchman William Everett Bennett died at his home at 24 Holly street, Trucks- ville, early Tuesday morning. Al- though he had been in (failing health, it was only during the past month when he was stricken with a heart attack followed by pneumonia that his condition became serious. Death brought to a close the useful life of one of the most loved men in his community, a man who had given much of himself to the church and town in.which he had livéd for 35 years. Mr. Bennett was a native of Beau- mont, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Bennett. His father died during the serious epidemic which swept that region in 1878, and the son learned the responsibili- ties of manhood earlier than most youths. He left Monroe township to learn his trade in Wyoming Valley. For more than forty years he con- tinued in the electrical field, the first ten years as an associate in the firm of Shotwell Bennett and Wil- liams Electrical Company of Wilkes- Barre. On the death of his partners he conducted the business alone as the Bennett Electrical Company and with advancing years established his business in Trucksville, | He was devoted to his church and for more than twenty-five years ser- SAVE $150 10 *2 ON EVERY TANKFUL WHEN YOU DRIVE THIS BIG, NEW KIND OF CAR Now — Go Nash and Go 500 to 600 Miles on a “Fill Up” Yes—you could be getting 25 to 30 miles on a gallon—if you were driving this Nash.

His modesty was best exemplified five years ago when he was asked to serve as school director. Mr. Bennett said, “I am too old—T’ll die before my term expires” and “I haven’t the education to qualify for such an important township posi- tion.” He steadfastly refused to spend any money to secure the of- fice, but on his election studied every problem thoroughly becoming one of the outstanding leaders on the Board. His term would have expired next year. SERXZ J] X XX) 2% WINTER eT ECTION / Your car needs MORE protection in winter weather. Let your ATLANTIC Dealer give you the RIGHT protection right now!
