Both teams are even, each hold-
ing a victory over the other. In-
cluding the playoffs, Shavertown

of the season; Dallas bowed both
to Kunkle 53-47 and Shavertown
40-39. Both teams are high scor-
ing aggregations, Shavertown with

in the league, and Dallas with
Charles Brobst, fourth highest.
In fast, clean game Monday
night at Dallas Township gym,
Dallas “A” won the semi-final from
Huntsville Christian 45-43. The
game, one of the best this season,
was deadlocked all the way with
neither team having much of a
lead, until near the end when Dal-
las “A” sprung into a ten point
lead only to see it whittled down
to a mere two points as the whistle
blew. The score was 22 all at
halftime. Brobst brothers, Clint
and Charlie, connected for 30 points
to set the pace, while Bob Price and
Bob Grose hit for 24 for Huntsville.
Both teams suffered a loss as each
had a regular guard foul out in
the final period. Al Gould, Hunts-
ville Christian, was the first to go
followed by Harold Brobst, Dallas
“A”. Dallas sunk only eight out
of seventeen foul shots and Hunts-
ville was slightly worse making
seven out of nineteen.
Saturday's playoff games turned
out to be close and well played but
the favorite won out in each case.
In the first game, Shavertown
Lutheran took a low scoring 34-27
victory from St. Therese’s. Art
Kitchen racked up 20 points for
Shavertown as Bob Youngblood had
12 for St. Therese’s.
Dallas “A” won over East Dallas
in the second game 35-29, after a
close 18-14 halftime score. Charlie

1. K. Robinson,
Founder, Dies
Built American Stores
To 4th Largest Chain
James K. Robinson, Sr., one of
the founders of the American
Stores Company, died Sunday in
Bryn Mawr Hospital. He was 75.
Mr. Robinson, who lived at 230
Highland Avenue, Merion, was vice
president and general manager of
the American Stores Company until
April 21, 1948, when he retired,
but remained on the board of
directors.
With two brothers and a friend,
Mr. Robinson was a partner in a
South Philadelphia grocery business
that grew into the nation’s fourth
largest food chain with 2,000 stores
in five states.
Born in Ireland
Mr. Robinson and his brothers,
Samuel and William M. M. of
Paoli, were born in northern Ire-
land. As they reached manhood,
Samuel, then James, and finally
William came to the United States.
Samuel Robinson and Robert
Crawford established a corner gro-
cery store in South Philadelphia
in 1891. On arriving here, James
and William joined the firm and
opened branch stores throughout
the city.
In 1917 Robinson & Crawford
was merged with the Acme Tea
Company, the Dunlap Stores, the
James Bell Company, and the Child
Stores to form the American Stores
Company, with Samuel Robinson as
president and James as vice presi-
dent.
A Noted Horseman
Mr. Robinson long was noted as
a horseman. He bred and rode
staved off a last minute Pringle
rally to win 49-48. Fairview sewed
up the victory at the foul line sink-
ing 17 charity tosses out of 23
tries; Pringle, on the other hand,
made only 4 out of 16.
Again it was the one-two scoring
punch of Gene Strauss and Charles
Frankenfield that led the Mountain
Toppers to victory. The pair gar-
nered 36 points between them as
Butcavage, Pringle’s North League
All Star, connected for 13 and Can-
non, substitute forward, had 15.
This is the second straight ap-
pearance of Coach Andy Magill’s
quintet in the P.ILA.A. playoffs.
Last year’s team nailed down the
District 2 pennant and went on
until they lost to Clifton Heights in
the Eastern Finals only one game
away from the state championship.
Fairview met Benton last night
at Wyoming High School with the
winner of that contest to play Nes-
copeck at Hazelton Saturday for
the Regional Title. The victor in
this game then plays for the East-
ern PIAA championship which is
the highest award as the Western
PIAA does not enter in Class C
competition.
Bob Brown is manager. On the
squad will be Al Knecht, Bob Ro
erts, Paul LaBar, Ralph Templi
Tom Edwards, Ray Kuhnert an
Jack Quail, Tom Edwards is Man-
ager. The proceeds of the game wj
