Shavertown Is
Tops In League
Trucksville Defeats
St. Paul's By A Point
Shavertown Methodist: kept its
place on the top of the Back
League but the rest of the. leaders
suffered reverses in games played
Saturday at Westmoreland gym-
nasium. Huntsville Christian, St.
Therese’s and St. Paul's tasted de-
feat in their attempts to overhaul
the league leaders. All three games
were decided by narrow margins
and in the last moments of play.
Trucksville Methodist triumphed
over St. Paul's by one point after
two overtime periods. This mark-
ed Trucksville’s first victory this
season.
of men by the time the final
whistle sounded and for a while
it looked like an endurance con-
test with the team having the
most men winning out.
Orange won its second consecu-
tive game by defeating the first
place Huntsville Christian quintet.
Orange is now back on the pace
with which it won first place hon-
ors last season. Although Hunts-
ville never trailed by much
throughout the game, Orange
maintained superiority with the
deadeye shooting of Jim Knecht
and the superior rebounding of
Bob Berlew.
Shavertown Methodist survived
a last minute spurt by St. Therese’s
to triumph 41-37 and remain on
the top of the league one full
game away from the rest of the
pack. Shavertown’s superior ball
handling and accurate shooting
proved to be the difference bé-
tween the two clubs.
Tomorrow night's games at
Westmoreland finds Huntsville
Christian pitted against St. Ther-
ese’s in the 7:15 contest in a battle
for second place. The 8:30 game
features Trucksville Methodist
against Shavertown Methodist in
a game which finds Trucksville out
to extend a winning streak against
the league leaders. The final game
of the evening at 9:30 finds Orange
playing St. Paul’s in an important
game in which Orange will be
attempting to stay on the victory
trail and in which St. Paul's will
be out to break its worst slump
of the season.

More than soup needed!
John walked into a restaurant one day and ordered
soup. When it came, he turned to the waiter and
said:
“Il can’t eat this soup.”
“Sorry. Ill call the manager,” replied the waiter.
To the manager, John said:
eat it.”
“Pll take care of it at once,”
“Call the chef. »
“This soup; I can’t
the manager said.
“I can’t eat this soup,” John informed the chef.
“What's the matter with it?” asked the chef.
“Nothing, only I ain’t got any spoon.”
Which just goes to show how some people jump
at conclusions . . .
and lots of folks do.
We've known instances right here in the Back
Mountain where people [generally assumed that cer-
tain merchandise wasn’t available in local stores
simply because it wasn’t advertised. Use advertising
in THE DALLAS POST to tell buyers what you have
and invite them to buy it.
. Only then can you be
sure they aren’t going to jump at the conclusion that
you haven't got it, or that you aren’t interested
enough in their trade to ask them to buy.
You may have the soup, but the spoon is essential,
too.

sell, THE DALLAS POST is
