Dallas Township was one of three in losing to a power-laden
Clarks Summit team in its first home appearance Saturday: Both other
Back Mountain teams absorbed losses, KT bowing to a strong Forty
Fort aggregation in a night game Friday, and Lehman taking the short
end of the score in its home fracas with Tunkhannock.
Bill Dettore, flashy Summit hali-
back playing his fourth year of
football, bad a personal field day
against Dallas, carrying all three
Summit touchdowns and adding one
extra point to account for the en-
tire 19-6 score. He scored in each
of the last three periods and prob-
ably would have done so in the
first frame except for a costly Sum-
mit fumble on the Township ten-
yard stripe.
Dallas couldn't open up against
the tight Summit line nor could
its passers penetrate the Summit
defense. Only three of eleven aerial
attempts were good and one was in-
tercepted by—that’s right—Dettore.
Lone Red and White tally came in
the third frame with Tondora, Dal-
las’ big gun last season but lightly
overshadowed by the Wallace to
Winter's passing combo this year,
making the six-pointer.
Summit relied mainly on a
ground attack, springing Dettore
loose whenever opportunity pre-
sented, to gain 165 yards against
Township's sixty-two. Four passes,
of nine attempted, clicked, totalling
eighty-one yards gained through the
air. Dallas garnered forty-four
yards via the sky-ways. The Dal-
las pass defense was sparking with
three of Summit's flings intercepted.
Penalties against Dallas, running
as high as 125 yards in previous
games, were held to 20 markers
Saturday. Summit was set back only
10 yards to make the game the
most penalty-free of the season.
Eighth Try—Eighth Loss

of halfback Binder proved KT’s un-
doing as his passes set up or made
three of the Fliers four tallies.
The Katie line, in better shape
than during previous games, made
things tough for the Fliers. Forty
Fort scored after blocking and re-
covering a Katie punt on the four-
yard line in the opening stanza, but
from there the game went score-
less up to the third frame. In that
period Binder, after passing ten
yards to Millington, scooted twenty-
five yards to the two. Millington
went the touchdown route. A pass,
Binder to Millington, added the ex-
tra point.
Upon gaining possession of the
ball again, Binder passed twenty
yards to Horst, followed with an-
other twenty yard hoist to Evans
and Millington plunged the remain-
ing two yards. In the fourth frame
Binder heaved from the thirty-five
to Horst in the end zone and con-
nected with the same receiver for
the extra point.
KT, too, had to rely on aerials
to score. A flurry of passes in the
final frame moved the ball to the
one-yard mark, from where Smith
carried into touchdown territory.
In spite of being beaten the
Katies looked better than they have
in some time. The line is beginning
to hold up its end of the bargain
and the backfield, complete once
more, is playing good ball. When
the Katies meet a team that does
not completely outclass them, they
can be expected to move into the
win column.
Tunk Tigers Trample Lehman
In the first Back Mountain League
game of the season Tunkhannock
Tigers outplayed Lehman Scotties
to the tune of 8-0. Fine punting
by the Tigers, even when deep in
Lehman territory, kept the Scotties
bottled and they made only one
serious threat.
Tunkhannock, operating out of
the T as nicely as any local team
we have seen; played a deliberate
and seemingly detached game. The
up-river boys never seemed hurried
or confused, the backfield operated
smoothly and generally found a
hole, compliments of a fine line,
where there was supposed to be
one.
Lehman, on the other hand, was
definitely not playing the brand of
ball they showed against Shick-
shinny. Tightening in the pinches,
they halted several Tiger drives
that looked like sure touchdown
marches, but couldn’t get moving
on a real threat of their own after
losing out, via the penalty route,
early in the game.
Next Back Mountain League game
will be the Lehman-Dallas Township
tussle at Township November 1,
with the Dallas Township-Tunkhan-
nock meeting scheduled for the
following week on the local field.
This Week’s Action
Tunkhannock, which makes three
local appearances this season, will
be the attraction at Kingston Town-
ship this Saturday in what should
be a close game. Both teams oper-
ate out of the T but there the re-
semblance ends. The Tigers depend
on tricky plays and fast runners,

while the Katies are more prone to
rely on the power of Smith and
Youngblood. The entire fracas is
apt to turn into a battle of quarter-
backs with the Katies possessing a
slight edge.
Dallas Township leaves the home
bailiwick again this week, traveling
to Jenkins Township for a Saturday
game. Jenkins, usually a push-over
for Back Mountain teams, has a
strong aggregation this season and
will extend the Red and White all
the way. Dallas, aching to move
out of the loss column, will be in a
winning mood. It should be a close
and good game with a. possible
edge for Rosser’s Raiders.
Lehman, a hard luck team this
year as last, welcomes a good Avoca
team to its field Friday. Scottie
coach Marchakitus, reticent prior to
previous games, has gone all out
this week to predict a two-touch-
down margin. If his charges will
play a full game along the safe lines
they have played a few quarters
in other games he may be right.
