Mr. and Mrs. James Davenport TONIGHT’S GAMES Lehman at Laketon Kingston Township at Dallas Township ‘The undefeated basketball team of Dallas Borough was again the victor Friday night when it topped Laketon 34-29. The Borough, not taking the Laketon quintet seriously, was surprised when Laketon started the game with a barrage of passing and shooting that brought the score to a 7 all tie as the whistle shrilled ending the first quarter of play. But the Bor- ough, controlling its nerves, built up a 10-point lead at the half which was soon relinquished as play began in the third period. Laketon, not disturbed® by the spirited play of the Bor- ough in the second period, started to play a game of straight basketball to lead the Borough quintet. The Borough, however, has a reputation this year for giving the fans their mon- ey’s worth. It put on a fine brand of basketball in the last quarter to out- play any team in the Back Mountain League. This is: what happened to Laketon. The Borough put on a flashy finish and came out of the game on the top end of a 34-29 score. The Laketon -team had Coach Tinsley’s pivot men guarded very close as well as Bruce, the Blitz- krieger. Gould, forward of the Bor- ough, then stepped into the Blitz- kriegers shoes and proved to the fans, as well as the Laketon quintet, that he could wear them at any time, as he tallied 12 counters. Nie- meyer and Jewell sank some long shots very seldom seen on a basket- ball court. Kelly the plugging center, of the Borough played a nice defen- sive as well as offensive game.

Referee— Phillips. Lehman vs, Dallas Township Lehman and Dallas Township played a hard but terrible game on the Lehman court Friday night. The passing and. shooting of both quintets were off, as was proven when the first few shots of the game did not even: hit the back- board. Lehman was without its star, Rusilosky, and Dallas Township played without Selza. Dallas Town- ship went into the lead in the early Ww ~ minutes of play and stayed there throughout the game. Brown and McCarty, guards of the Lehman quintet, played the outstanding game for Lehman, while Mitchell, forward, and Morris, guard, were outstanding for Dallas Township. ~Girl’ Games ‘Dallas Township girls were victor- ious in a game that ended with a score of 34-11. Dallas Borough girls revel the world is wrong. They played a hard fought game Friday night and came out the winners over Laketon. Kath- leen Bogart played the outstending game for the Borough.

Screams of the sister when she saw their unconscious forms brought assistance from passersby, policemen, fire de- partment pulmotor squad, and Dr. E. M. Griffith. Physician and firemen worked over the uncon- scious couple for fifteen min- utes. Police said the automo- bile heater and motor were run- ning and windows were down when the couple were discover- ed.

This ruling is approved by coach- es, players and athletic authorities because it prevents professionalism and forestalls players leaving one school to enter another simply for athletics. It was for a similar. in- fraction of the same rules that Dal- las Township High School barred one of its veteran players early in the current season. “All players,” offi- cials of the League pointed out, “are acquainted with this ruling when they are given a thorough ground- ing in P.
