© hits nti a i skineben ett op mies avid THE POST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY #% Lo) Ng 1 PAGE FIVE Bill Hart a a= BACK MOUNTAIN GIRLS The first half ended Friday with the standings as confused and in- conclusive as any one set of stand- ings could possibly be . . . As an outstanding example we have Dal- las Borough and Kingston Town- ship tied for first place, while in a tie for second, we find Laketon, a team which has beaten both the leaders . . , . If that doesn’t con- vimce you, look at the standings— two teams tied for each one of the top three positions, with each team having been beaten at least once by one of the teams below it . . . . For further mixed-up-ness, take the predominence of one point victories . . . . From the looks of things, the winner isn’t the best team but the one who was lucky enough to score the last basket WAL CONVINCED? 2 .. . In the present set-up, each team, with the exception of Harter, has wonderful possibilities of copping the title. This week’s games will play a decisive part in the final outcome as Dallas Borough meets Laketon; Kingston Township meets Fairview; and Dallas Township meets Leh- man . . . . Tuesday’s Laketon-Leh- man game looms as another deci- sive encounter . . . . If Dallas Bor- ough can take Laketon, overcom- ing first loss to that team, it has prospects of clear sailing the rest of the second half . . . . However, Laketon is favored in this game and with a victory , the standings will really be in a muddle . . . . Wins by the favored Kingston Township and Lehman teams would practical- ly eliminate Fairview and Dallas Township from the running. High scoring Dallas Borough turned back Dallas Township 27-18, in what was predicted to be a close game . . . Borough forwards proved to be ‘“‘dead” from the start and steadily built up a large lead . . . . Township couldn’t work the ball inside the Borough defense (Al- though I imagine that any one less than a 200 pound plunging full- back would experience difficulty piercing that defense) therefore taking most of their shots from the outside and losing control of the rebounds. . . . Bruns, Borough, hit for 14 counters, while Kozick, Township, turned in 11. Laketon took Harter by a 23-18 count after a 10-9 halftime deficit . ... Both teams were poor at the foul line, Harter making only 4 out of 16 shots, and Laketon 5 out of 12 . . . . Nicholas, Laketon, was high with 12 followed by Byorick, Harter, with 11 . .-. . Kingston Township won a 21-20 thriller from Lehman on the Katie floor to boost it into a first place tie. : Nm 3 = BACK MOUNTAIN LEAGUE— FIRST HALF Twenty Top Scorers Strauss, Fairview 50 30 130 McKeown, Harter 33 18 $4 Galutis, Laketon 328 11:-75 A.

CHURCH LEAGUE Two teams continued to set the pace in the Church League as both St. Therese’s and Dallas “A” squads turned in their fifth straight vic- tories to remain tied for the num- ber one spot . . . . Dallas “A’s” win was a rountine 47-26 game with Carverton, while St. Therese’s was pressed to turn in a 10-35 this weekend, while waiting, (and | | hoping), for the top teams to be victory over Lehman Inter-Church. East Dallas, led by Harry Martin with 19 points, turned the tables on the favored Dallas “B” team 45-42 in a thriller Monday night on the Dallas Township floor. . . . Huntsville Christian turned in its first win of the season as it took Trucksville by a 55-35 margin. ... Shavertown Lutheran continued its winning ways as it downed a stub- born Kunkle crew 45-26, This coming week’s action places Lehman in a tough spot as it plays the renovated Huntsville Christian squad, eager to cause trouble among the leaders, on Saturday and then meets the front-running Dallas “A” quintet on Monday . . . . Leh- man must win at least one of these games to stay in the running for the play-offs . . . . Dallas “A” also has a full schedule, for beside the important Lehman game on Mon- day, it faces the eratic Kunkle team on Saturday . . . . Kunkle, which has given a hard time to every team it has faced, ishould be due for some victories . . . . How- ever, it seems as though it will have to wait ’til Monday when it squares off against the hapless Trucksville team, which although a potentially hot team, can’t seem to click for enough points against high scoring competition. East Dallas should coast to an easy victory over Carverton and thereby strenghten its claim to a first division berth . . Over- coming a slow start, East Dallas seems to be picking up steam and has its eye on a first division berth Si Shavertown Lutheran, se- cure in second place, draws a by SURE = 10 ~ ATTEND THE White Elephant Sale At Orange February 17 A Large Collection of Useful Articles Collected from a Wide Area You'll find: Bucket-a-day, Toys, Dishes, Helmets, Miners Lamps, Bread Mixer, Tinware, Canning Jars, Furniture, Kit- chen Utensils, Musical Instruments, Tinware Pictures, Books, Heaters, Organ, Radio, Plant Duster And Many Other Articles To Be Sold At Auction.

Dallas “B” will have its sights set on St. Therese’s in hopes of nabbing an upset and! keeping above the .500 mark . . | The game takes place on the Leh- man floor, which has so far been a jinx to the “B” team as it lost| two upset games there . . . . Dallas| will have to figure a plan to stop St. Therese’s high scoring combin- ation, which has not been held to under forty points thus far this season. With the first half of the league over, the teams are beginning to sift into definite layers . . . . At the top stand Dallas “A” and St. Therese’s, who have built up a com- manding lead but which face the tougher teams in the next two weeks, finally coming to a climax as they meet each other in the final game of the regulars season February 19 . . .. In the next layer Shavertown - Lutheran, East Dallas and Lehman Inter-Church stand out . . . . These three teams are definite candidates for the play-offs and boast of better than average squads . . . Of the three, Shaver- town looms strongest . . . . Next we find the dark horses, each one cap- able of setting any team in the league on its heels, but lacking the punch of a consistent winner . . . In this group are Dallas “B”, Kunkle, and the improved Hunts- ville Christian team . Last in the final layer fall Carverton and Trucksville Methodist, whose lone hopes of victory will come when they meet each other Febru- ary 12 to decide the cellar position. = CHUURCH LEAGUE LEADING SCORERS R.

We have about 2,500 school chil- dren who are not registered at the Library but who benefit by the books sent to the schools. As new people move into this area they look for the Library and are greatly surprised to learn that the Library has been in operation only three years. Last week 232 people used / the Library in five days. Miss Kathryn Oller from the State Library paid us a visit in the fall and was very pleased with Back Mountain Memorial Library and the work done here. She made notes about our Book Club to pass on to other libraries. Story Hour Mrs. H. W. Smith holds a Story Hour in the Library every Saturday morning for a group of 30 or 40 children from 2 years old to 10 or 11. After the stories are over she provides a cookie or a piece of candy for each one as they go out the door. Mrs. William Deibert has given a good many of her Wednesday afternons to the Library since last spring and Ronald Schlittler, a new boy at Dallas Township school as ed if he could do volunteer wor ~ and has been coming in in the past few weeks. I should like to take this time to express my thanks to them for their work. I also want to say that I could not run the Library without the help of my assistant, Mrs. Primo Berrettini. With more interest in the Lib- rary this year, more increased ac- tivity in the area by the new in- dustrial plants and new homes be- ing built I am looking forward to a greater 1949.
