PAGE FOUR Book Review Of Montana Jones Mrs. Virginia BeBerus, late of Trucksville, is trying her hand at something new and different. Turn- ing from the field of running a con- valescent home, with sporadic forays into writing poetry, she is now writing books about boys. Not books primarily for boys, but about them, with deep insight into their feelings and inner life, forbidden territory to everybody but those with the deepest of percep- tions. “Montana Jones” is her first book, a slim volume about a small boy who is pitchforked into. a vortex of human emotion at far too tender an age. His emergence from over- powering circumstances into cor- rectly balanced adulthood is the story of juvenile court, foster par- ents, life on a ranch in Montana, and friendship with another grow- .ing boy who is equally the victim of circumstances. Mrs. BeBerus (known as Mother Virginia in the Back Mountain) con- cludes that ‘bad boy” is a mis- nomer. Good boys are those who are loved and understood. Mother Virginia, now affiliated with the School for Boys at Glen Mills, is currently working on a second book. “Montana Jones” was published in December by Vantage Press.

Swoyerville Sinks Lehman Takes An Easy 72-33 Victory . Swoyersville stayed in the thick of the North Mountain League pen- nant race by trouncing Lehman on the Scottie court Friday night, - This win, while Dallas was win- ning at home brought first half honors down to the wire. The Sailors started out to make a ball game of it, and won the first period 16-7. Taking up where they had left off in the first, they also won the second 18-5, to leave the court at the half with a seemingly impos- sible lead of 34-12. It was all Sieminski, Varaitis and Stelma, and nothing the Leh- man defense could throw at them could stop them. In the third period the Scotties showed life, but the Sailors won it 22-16. However, in the fourth, Swoyers- ville snapped out of it and held the Scotties to five points .while run- ning up 16. The starting five for Lehman was able to go all the way without fouling out.

Clint Brobst was never able to unload his bench, as the Wyoming lads always threatened. The first period started as though Dallas might run away with the game.” When the buzzer rang Dallas held a seven point edge. Dallas nev- er looked better. Pass work was ex- cellent and most shots found their mark. Cooper hit on all eight and the rest contributed their share. Second period was a replay of the first. West Wyoming began to find the range. Mosier was having an off night. The play of Rome on the corner shots was the standout. Dallas led at the half 35-22. During the third period West Wy- oming got under way. A sustained Dallas offense, which had been evi- dent in the Ashley game, was lack- ing, and the locals were matched almost point for point, as Charney and Robbins hit on the out and inside shots. Cooper, Rome and Strauser were the offensive guns for Dallas. The period ended with Dallas on the top- side 24-21. A margin of two points was all that separated the two teams for the fourth period play. Dallas won this one 22-20. Never ahead but always driving was the story of West Wyoming. Considering the let down which al- most always comes after a tough game, Dallas played good ball in spots and was able to protect its early lead. Dallas G F Pts.

Starting slowly Dallas soon found the range, and won the first period 19-7, with Mosier, Goddard and Strauser doing the scoring. Most of the shots were sunk by Mosier from outside, or Strauser under the basket, with Tom God- dard sinking four out of seven foul tries. In the second period, Cooper found the range, followed by Mos- ier and Strauser to take the stanza 21-14, and the half 40-21. The third was the best period of the game, with spirited play by both teams resulting in a 31-20 stanza, with Dallas again showing the way. Mollahan, one of two boys promoted from the Junior Varsity showel well, in this and the fourth quarter. The fourth was slow and showed lack of fire for either team, as Clint Brobst unloaded the bench with Mollahan leading the scorers with eight points. The majority of fans were from the Back Mountain. Few will forget the desperation shot by a Township boy in the closing second of the first half which he sunk from two- thirds down the court. Outstanding defensive play is often overlooked in the excitement of scoring. Time after time Bill Strauser refused to be faked out of position and as a result most of their scoring was from outside.
