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. :

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

cure in second place, draws a by

CLASS
sabotaged by the second division
challengers . . . . 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.

(Continued from Page One)
this number 416 were people who
had never been to the Library be-
fore.
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.
Douglas Falconer, director Wyo-
ming Valley Community Chest, was

spoke on his fifteen months in
China with UNRA.
