The Dallas Post found an addi-

community this week when the
newly appointed secretary of a
local organization came in to look
up a news item in the files. He
had lost his notes to the previous
meeting of his group and had to
depend on a Dallas Post article to
get the facts for his minutes.

BACK MOUNTAIN LEAGUE
Back Mountain League season
ended Friday with a decided upset
by the Blue and Gold of Laketon
as it nudged Harter 47-46 . . . The
Harter defeat coupled with Dallas
Borough's thumping 60-35 victory
over Dallas Township places these
two teams in a third place tie...
Kingston Township took Lehman,
as expected, 54-44 to gain undis-
puted second place honors . , . .
Fairview took the flag with a .917
average and will represent the
League in the PIAA playoffs.
The girls’ division ended in a
first place tie as Dallas Township
won over Dallas Borough 22-19
and Kingston Township took over
Lehman . . . . The two Dallas teams
and Kingston Township were form-
erly in a three way tie for first
place . . . The Katies and Redskins
met Wednesday night at the Wy-
oming gym to determine the cham-
pionship.
With this season over, the
coaches are looking forward to-
wards next year’s team . . . As
usual, graduation takes its yearly
toll with Dallas Borough and Kings-
ton Township hit hardest . . . .
Kingston Township loses Hons,
Handley, Morgan, McGarry and
Oney from its varsity squad . . .
Dallas Borough loses its entire start-
ing lineup as Hazeltine, Shaffer,
Monka, Harris and Price leave...
Fairview and Laketon lose their
key players when Strauss and Guli-
tus graduate. All in all, the changes
tend to even up the teams as the
majority of them will have to de-
pend on less experienced players
next year.
The girls’ teams will remain even
and unpredictable for the most
part, as only Dallas Borough comes
out unscathed having its entire
undergraduate squad of Bruns,
Cooper, Bowman, Patsey, Broken-
shire and Barrettini return . , .
Dallas Township will’ miss such
stalwarts as Prudhoe, Wilson and
Calhoun from their lineup.
Playing his last high school game,
Danny Gulitus with 21 points led
Laketon to its surprising upset
victory over Harter 47-46 . . . .
Laketon led at the half 30-28 in
a free scoring affair; after the half
both teams settled down and played
even ball . . . Both were off at the
foul line; Laketon made only five
out of fifteen and Harter four out
of thirteen . .. Zosh had 12 points
to help Laketon as Jones and Craw-
ford had 30 points between them
for Harter.
Dallas Borough tromped Dallas
Township 60-35 . . . Arnold Price,
tricky Borough center, had 17 points
to lead the field and give him a
total of 37 points in the last three
games . . . . Each Borough varsity
player hit for over five points...
Larry Brace and Harry Belles held
the brunt of the Dallas Township
attack as they collected 26 points
between them.
Kingston Township with Richards,
Morgan and Hons hitting for double
figures for 42 points rode over Leh-
man 54-44 . . . . Mont with 15
Nuss with 11 kept Lehman's hopes
going but the Scotties were no
match for the Katies high powered
attack.

CHURCH LEAGUE
The battle for the Church League
playoff trophy starts in earnest
Saturday night at the Kingston
Township gymnasium as the top
six teams in the league square off
. . . . The first game pits the regular
season champ, St. Paul's Lutheran,
against the third place St. Therese’s
in what promises to be another
high scoring replica of their first
encounter . . . . St. Paul's will
face one of its toughest opponents
as the “Saints” are out to make
up for the 56-46 defeat handed
them three weeks ago.
The second game matched a
strong Dallas Methodist “A” squad
against East Dallas . . . Dallas “A”
led the league during most of the
season, suffering its only defeat at
the hands of the rampaging Kunkle
aggregation, and will be eager to
take this one to keep its hat in
the ring . . . . East Dallas, a hot
and cold team, will have to be on
its toes to capture this game.
The final game will be the one
to watch as two distinctly different
teams face each other . . , . Hunts-
ville Christian, playing with a
smooth, slow, deliberate attack, will
meet Kunkle Methodist, whose alert
audacity and fast break made it
one of the most feared teams in the
league . . . . The wisitor in this
game will represent the dark horse
in the race for the trophy . . . .
Both teams are strong and steadily
improving . , . After dropping the
first four games, Huntsville hit pay-
dirt and turned in six straight vic-
tories, while Kunkle, on the other
hand, stacks up as the highest
scoring team in the league.
The winners of these three games
will meet Monday in the second
stage of the playoffs probably at
the Dallas Township gym . . .. The
final playoff will take place on
Saturday, March 12.
In the playoffs for the tie posi-
tions Saturday at Dallas Township,
Shavertown Lutheran nailed down
Dallas “A” 40-39 . . . Ahead by
fourteen points in the last quarter,
Shavertown folded as Dallas got
hot and made a valiant bid but
“Time” was the deciding factor....
Led by Charlie Brobst, who gar-
nared 17 points to take the high
scoring honors for the game, Dallas
came close but the Shavertown de-
fense tightened and saved the game
. « . . Dallas missed fifteen charity
tosses, a fact which lost them the
game . . . . Art Kitchen was tops
for Shavertown with 14 points.
In what was predicted to be a
close game, Kunkle literally ran
away with Dallas “B” 56-36 . . . .
The game started out close but
Kunkle soon warmed up and sailed
away . . . . The fast break, featuring
Bud Mitchell and Jiggs Elston, ac-
counted for 32 points and the ac-
curacy of Jim Knecht added 14
more . . . . Ralph Templin hit for
20 of Dallas “B’s” total followed
by Bob Roberts with 8 . . . This
defeat eliminated Dallas “B’ from
the playoffs.
The tie for fourth place was de-
cided when in another breath-taker,
Huntsville’ Christian outlasted East
Dallas 32-31 . . . . It was basket
for basket the entire game with
slow steady play up to the final
minutes when each team endeavor-
ed to get the lead . . . Huntsville
put on a beautiful freeze in the
closing minutes to prevent East
Dallas from scoring the necessary
points . . . . Bob Price was high
with 15 for Huntsville and Harry
Martin tops with 11 for East Dallas
. . .. Bob Grose with 11 for Hunts-
ville and Tex Wilson with 9 for
East Dallas were next in line.

ory of the stage setting and the
actors thereon, something which I
doubt because after all he had
troubles of his own, I should like
to set him straight on this one
point.
The lady of the house does not
ordinarily resemble the Terrible
Turk in person, only on those rare
occasions when she is in the midst
of having a home permanent wave
with the neutralizer stage still a
carefully timed half hour away. All
in all, considering the static, getting
the wave dunked in the neutralizer
on time or at all was something of
a feat.
Maybe this chain of events was
not due to the March lion at all,
but to the misguided optimism
which led us to put the snow-
shovel down in the basement under
-| the happy impression that spring
had come. Snow-shovels, we now
feel, should be left handily in the
mud-room until after the final
onion-snow on the fifth of April.
