However, it was not the firemen all dressed up, but the Bob Moore, Printer team, first half champions of the Back Mountain Neighborhood League being photographed in of- ficial outfits. Members of the win- "ning team are Al Bellas, Roy Stair, George Shupp, Casey Dimmick and Bob phers. The Neighborhood League ended the first half of the season Monday * night with Moore's team winning out over Dallas Hardware and Dal- las Dairy. These three teams were on a “sec-saw” most of the season and the ‘champs’ fought hard for their title.

Mimi Yuran with a game of 212 was high for the ladies last week and Chiz Lozo bowled a high 246 for the men. So far this week, it’s Al Torr with 245 and Lila Lozo with 198. Crown Imperial A of the Howie Davis Classic League took 3 points from Jones’ Custom Monogram at Eagles, Wilkes-Barre, Saturday night. Charlie Williams was local ‘high man with 232-582. Crown B didn’t do as well against Bavitz on home ground when it took only one game and lost total pins. J. Thomas rolled high game of 204 and Tom Cross had a series total- ling 543. Also playing at home, Crown C lost 4 points to Main Diner. Herb Kemmerer was high man with a 208-552 series.

The Airmasters with 4 points from the Milemasters, have 40 points, just 7 behind the “champs.” The Trojaneers, losing just 1 game to the Super 5-D’s, have 36 points and a chance to tie the Airmasters in second place next week, the last of the first half. The Trojaneers had 1931 total pins and the Pacemasters had single high of 704. Annabelle Selingo had high series of 456, six pins over Ruth Stair’s 450. Alice Ide had evening high of 183. What happened! Only two other girls bowled over 160, Annabelle Selingo had 165 and Mary Weale had 164. With Sportslight I'm sure that we are all happy that Texas A&M has secured a foot- ball coach. If they lacked for pub- licity certainly they received plenty of it in their quest for the right man. Now maybe they can settle down, and let the rest of us do like- It seems to be open season for football coaches. There will be plenty of changes before next fall. One of the latest to go was Harry Lawrence at Bucknell who resigned last week to devote his time to guidance at Baltimore College High School. By the time you read this the first half honors in the North League will have been decided. Win, lose or draw, it is my opinion that Dallas has done a wonderful job and the boys, along with Clint Brobst, their coach, have every reason to be proud. ; One bad feature of this league is that the Dallas-Swoyersville play- off knocked us out of the game with Tunkhannock which was scheduled for tonight. That was one game your writer would have liked to see. If plans materialize, we hope to bring you some action shots of the play in the North League as the season goes on. If you see a lot of bright flashes, it isn’t the North- ern Lights but photos being taken during the game. It is the opinion of many that the crowd at the West Wyoming game was the largest to date. The Ashley game was the loudest fol- lowed by Swoyersville. It is good that the next Ashley game is to be played at home. Back Mountain fans are still yelling loud and long over the treatment they received at Ashley. Many were unable to get in, and this was true of many of the play- ers’ parents. On every corner the fans are still complaining over the inadequate seating facilities of some of the league gymnasiums. Your writer has been criticized Giants Lead Community Service The Giants lead the Community Service League with 10 games and .833 after three weeks of bowling in the second half of the season; the Yankees place second with 9 games. The Dodgers had 2441 total pins Monday night and Giants had high- est game of 873. Caddie LaBar's Giants, captained by Jack Landis, has highest average.of 801. A. Torr of the Pirates had highest series of 580 and single game of 243. ADD A LUXURY LOOK—AT LOW COST To: LIVINGROOM DEN FAMILY ROOM, etc. SN MASONITE © ROYALCOTE Misty Walnut Panels .cut and fasten!

V.’s lost out to Wilkes-Barre Township Tuesday night on the winner’s court. It was anybody's game until late in the fourth quarter when Clark fouled out for Dallas and the Town- ship team went on to win by ten points. The first period went to Dallas 9-8, and the second to the Town- ship 16418. Both periods saw some good bas- ketball and close guarding. The experience of some of the Wilkes-Barre Township Varsity was evident, and the J. V.’s were hard put to stop the offensive. In the third period, Dallas went to a man-to-man defense. It was here that the Township lads put on their best show. They rapidly gained an eight- point lead. Dallas went back to its zene, and lost the quarter 9-10. The fourth went to the Township 22-15 on a late closing surge feat- ured by the shooting of Clarke and Jacobs, the latter playing a good | portion of the Varsity game. Once again it was too much ex- perience for freshmen and sopho- | mores but Bob Dolbear is develop- ing some promising material for next year. Shelly is a standout on defense and play set-ups, while L. Dietz,’ Eck and Clark look good on the offense. for mentioning the gymnasiums in the North League. Since this is our first year in the league, it seems, I am supposed to remain quiet. For every individual that berates me, there are five who agree with me. The gymnasium at Ashley is a disgrace. If ever I saw a fire trap, that is it. They sell three hundred tickets and lock the doors. Try and get out in a hurry! Football scouts come a dime 2a dozen. They should run special planes for the, scouts and set up general headquarters for interview- ing. The requirements vary de- pending on the school. Can also tell you, that many a prep school is going to have some good material sent in next year, for a little extra preparation for the boys. Many of the schools are demanding more than the average boy has to offer when he receives his diploma.

HUNTSVILLE EDGES ALDERSON: ST. THERESE, SHAVERTOWN WIN By JIM LOHMAN Shavertown Wallops East Dallas Shavertown stayed in the running for top honors on its easy 68-40 win over East Dallas. Shavertown open- ed with an 11-4 edge in the first period and just kept laying it on during the remaining three periods. Ernie Widmann was the big noise as he collected 26 points on eight goals and 10 of 14 fouls. He col- lected 18 in the second half. Bob Hontz and Bill Oney also chipped in with 25 between them for the win- ners. Dick Clemow led the losers with 11. Shavertown F Pts.

St. Therese’s position will be at stake tomorrow night when they run into the always tough Alderson team which they defeated 61-55 in their first meeting. Bolton with 16 and Ell with 14 led the offensive attack for the Saints’ as seven of the eight men dented the scoring column. K. Shaf- fer with 16 and Purvin with 13 were high for the losers.
