en er Sei ar HE | DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA ~ Scotties May Twist Tiger's Tail Tonight Two Undefeated Teams Will Play Under Light Tonite At Tunkhannock Tunkhannock is favored to beat a good Lehman team this Friday night at Tunkhannock. However, it is not an unanimous vote by all that Lehman will come home with the sting of defeat on their record. The Scotties are not to be taken lightly. who are superior to anything the Tigers can throw at them. If the Back Mountain boys go to Tunkhannock determined to win, it ‘is our opinion that they will do just that. The Tigers were idle last Satur- day. After two victories over St. Michael's and Dallas Area they should -be in tip-top shape, but sometimes a lay-off can work against the team. Lehman will be able to field a team that has not tasted defeat, and they are determined to win this one to atone for last season’s pasting by Tunkhannock. If Ide, Scottie quarterback, is in top form and calls for plays as he did against Dallas Lehman should be able to make a “very interesting evening for the Tigers. The talk around the corner is all about taking out Hudock, and throttling Frey, and the game is won. This could come true, as Hudock did nothing against Dallas. Good luck, Scotties, and here is hoping that your victory streak is increased to three for the season. ‘ Gross Attends Company Dinner Dallas Man Is Among Metropolitan Veterans William E.

That mastery won them thei Rotary Trophy given annually to the Back Mountain champions. Lehman scored its first touch- down in the first period when Lo- pasky and Ide. combined a passing attack that split the Dallas defense wide open. Although Lehman com- pleted only three passes in the first half, the damage was in the long ones ‘they completed on their first drive. Just when the Dallas gridders thought they had the defense fig- ured, Lopasky would skirt the end for a sizeable gain, and ‘this pretty much spelled the Lehman attack all afternoon. The Dallas line put up stubborn resistance but a leaky pass defense made the difference. Lehman’s first score came as a result ‘of a pass from Lopasky to Dubil who pulled it in on a nice catch and raced to the Dallas 35 before being brought down from behind. On the next play Ide tossed a honey to Lopasky on the ten. Two plays later Lopasky crashed into paydirt. Dallas scored at the start of the second quarter when Brad Updyke picked up a long lateral and ran 135 yards to score. The try for point failed and Lehman led 7-6 as the Next Saturday, October 12, should be quite a day at Crown Imperial Bowling Lanes. Steve Nagy, De- troit, former National Individual Match Game Champion, will be at the local recreation center all after- noon and evening and will appear in a match with George Billick. Bil- lick, whose home is in Old Forge, holds the world’s record with thir- teen perfect sanctioned games. The match, scheduled for 8 p. m., prom- ises to be quite a show of skill and should draw a crowd of local bowl- ing enthusiasts. No reservations will be taken for the day, giving anyone a chance to bowl on the basis of ‘first come, first served.” Lila Lozo rolled a 203 for ladies’ ing with the Back Mountain Service Club, hit a 235 for the men.

The second half was hammer and tongs, Lehman using a powerful ground attack with all the backs alternating as ball carriers. The lack of a distance kicker again hurt as Dallas had difficulty getting out of its own back yard. Trying a lateral deep in its own territory, Dallas set up the same play that had cost Lehman the Dallas score. An alert Ted Toluba picked up the loose lateral, this time by Dallas, and ran to the six yard line. Two plays later Lopasky was again in pay-dirt.

The Dallas boys looked better than the week previous.. When the backs get some blocking from their interference they should be able to go for some gains. On defense, it is another story, the Dallas line looks good at times, and two boys stand out. One is Marvin Meade, a sophomore guard. In conjunction with Dick Huddy, sophomore tackle, they practically stopped a Lehman drive on the two- yard line. These boys looked good, and too much praise cannot be given them for their sterling play on Saturday. | games. The Cardinals had 1-game high with 520.

Don’t take this Committee of Five too lightly, as they have some good ideas, and if half of them go, it will be some- thing. All of the following are their ideas: The Dallas Area team jerseys should be new, and all alike, and numbered so that the players can be easily identified; i. e., Quarter- backs, 10-19; Left Halfbacks, 20-29; Hight Halfbacks, 80-39; Fullbacks, 40-49; Centers, 50-59; Guards, 60- 69; Tackles, 70-79, and the ends in the eighties. Sounds like a good idea. Programs should carry the correct numbers of the players. (Seems to me they have.) What has happened to the Foot- ball Mothers? It is time that they get organized. It is the opinion of the Committee of Five that the team is fine on de- fense, and should be about ready to go on offense. (Guess anyone in the area agrees with that). Now is the time for all the fans in the area to show the boys that we are behind them, and get out this week for the Forty Fort game, and show what we can do in the way of a lot of verbal support. This has been woefully lacking. The Dallas Area team is our team, and win, lose or draw, we should all be there. This your writer can agree to, and it is unfortunate that the crowd fell off last week. The team showed improvement in its condition, and the free sub- stitutions were good for all to see. It took from nine until twelve to tell me all the above, and bed never i This Saturday Dallas Area will entertain Forty Fort High School at Memoria] Field and Dallas is favored to win. The potential is there for Dallas, and is bursting at the seams to get going, and the thinking is that this is the id it starts. Forty Fort has a record of two losses and one win. The losses were to Wilkes-Barre Township and a good Bloomsburg team. They won last week from an Exeter team that has as yet to become a real contender in the West Side Con- ference. Forty Fort is an unknown quan- tity, and lacks the experience that | usually spells the difference between victory and defeat. You can rest as- sured that Coach Jim Steltzer will come up the Mountain with a group of gridders that will be looking for trouble, and if the luck that has followed the games between Forty Fort and Back Mountain teams con- ! tinues, it will be Forty Fort at the | final whistle. looked better.

The Dallas line will be out to show that their play the past two weeks was not a fluke on defense, and that they will now be able to get the offense started. All they lack is a couple of hard charging line men to spark the team, and it should go. It is the belief of those in the know, that these two boys were discovered last Saturday, namely Mead and Huddy. These two boys can spell the dif- ference. If the backs ever learn to run in- terference as they should, they have the speed and weight to pound it out, and plenty of it. What they lack is drive, and this week the coaches are sure to find it. There will be plenty to shout about after this Saturday’s game. The drilling of the quarterbacks : still goes on, and one of these days prised to see them knock. off the Tigers. Can't agree with the letter from “Visiting Fan’ in last week’s Post about our coach. Feel that it is his business. More power to him for taking heed, and doing what the fan wanted. Have looked and looked for some of our more prominent politicians to show their faces at the games, (but other than a few of the school directors, they are scarce. Don’t feel hurt, though, fans they will soon be knocking on your doors for your votes, Guess maybe foot- PAGE NINZ they, too, will be able to click with passes, and pitch outs. They can throw the ball, but lack the ability to hit an eligible receiver. Exper- ience, however, is the lacking fac- tor but each day they look better in practice. The team is in good condition, and except for a few bumps and bruises is in first class shape. This is the game, and the one where Dal- las posts its first triumph of the season. See you there. You will see a lot of new faces in the line-up. Interested In Theatre A group of New York theatrical people is interested in Shaver Thea- tre for use as a summer theatre.
