PAGE SIX Football Roundup BY LARRY Rain last week freshened the air and gave the first decent football weather of the year. Drizzles in the afternoon were not enough to stop the Dallas Township-West Pittston and the Lehman-Shick- shinny games but in the evening it steadied down to really rain and the K. T.-Swoyerville parley had to be called off. Both teams carry heavy schedules and neither wants to play a mid-week game, so it looks as if their engagement is washed up for this year. Too bad. It would have been a whizz of a game. regularly. Defensively Lehman still needs practice; the ball carriers were swamped time after time by blue jerseyed Miners. Bill Kern is turning into a nice line backer but can stil] take lessons from Dallas’ Tondora in that department. This Week’s Action Al] of the Back Mountain teams travel away this week. Lehman goes to Tunkhannock and K. T. plays Forty Fort tonight. Dallas will wait till tomorrow to go to Clark’s Summit. K. T. will be playing a Forty Fort team that came out of its shell last week to beat a good Pittston team 26-0. To add to its difficulties K. T. will be playing under the lights for the first time this season, Coach Jenkins will be counting heavily on the fine defensive play his line has shown to hold the high-scoring Fly- ers, while his battering ram Young- blood and fleet, end-running Lutsey combine to pile up yardage. It looks doubtful for the Katies but they proved against Lehman that they can take advantage of any breaks ‘and may bring home their second win. Dallas, too, is traveling into a tough game. Clark’s Summit Jooked good when it traveled down here to beat K. T. and it has improved Dallas Loses Dallas dropped back into the losers’ column this week as a strong West Pittston team ran it into the mud, 20-0. Pittston’s right half- back, Kiem, went fifty yards for a touchdown on the second play and broke Dallas’ heant. It took Dallas until the third period to recover and by that time Pittston had an- other score and couldn’t be stopped, tallying again in the last frame on a long pass. Dallas’ backfield couldn’t get started and didn’t look impressive except for the third quarter. The line played good ball, although playing out of class, and, with guards Cook and Miles playing a bang-up game, held Pittston on the ground for all but a few minutes | since.

Dallas-Lehman JV’s Lehman's light, shifty JV team ran away from a heavier Dallas squad Monday evening with a 13-0 ‘win. These kids take a real inter- est in their games and their en- thusiasm is contagious. These are the boys who are going to be pro- viding the football thrills in this Passes, its own, lost the game for Lehman. A series of passes in the first quar- ter netted six points for the Miners and an interception and beautiful run by M. Boyer in the third quar- ter finished the job. Lehman, fol- lowing a tradition established in its last two games, garnered some thirty-five yards of Shickshinny ter- ritory by passes in the last few minutes of play. On the ten-yard line, and with four downs to try for goal, Lehman reverted to runs, four of which left it on the twelve- yard marker. The Scotties were much improved from their K. T. showing. The light backfield couldn't gain through the strong Miner line but passes were clicking as they hadn't for the opening part of the season. The line is showing change in the right direction.

TURN Life and General Insurance HOWARD WOOLBERT BARNEY LASKOWSKI AND SON Every violation of the center line of safety is a potential prelude to accident. Crossing into the danger zone can occur at the approach to the top of a hill—on a curve—going into an underpass, or even on the straight highway. That's reckless, dangerous driving! Accident records show that about one half of all fatal traffic accidents result from bad driving habits such as these.‘ | It’s your responsibility to yourself, your family and to others who share the road to avoid these “Pass-Pockets” where lurk injury—and death. : Don’t let impatient driving tag your conscience with being one of those who contributed to the maiming or death of the hundreds of thousands who will be auto accident victims this year.
