Customers who dropped in for transaction of business, found themselves drinking a glass of cider and biting into a well polished McIntosh apple. Folks in the cages counted out bills and silver, preserving poker faces under the oddest of hats. That's Harry Vivian at the far right, looking like a man-about-town in his silk topper.

Dick, 16, broke his arm in a foot- ball scrimmage before school opened in the fall, but failed to mention to Mrs. Stephen Glova, Lake-Kunkle Road, that he had also been kicked in the head.

Lopasky-Walters And Company Will Face Powerful Line And Runners One of the largest crowds in the history of local football is expected to watch two of the three undefeated teams in Wyoming Valley clash tomorrow afternoon at 2 at Lehman, With good weather prevailing the game between Wilkes-Barre Town- ship and Lehman should be a thriller. ; Undoubtedly one will fall by the wayside. In the event of a close . game, the team able to push over the most extra points will come out | the victor. ® The township team has a fairly good sized line with Bowers, Ko- melski, Gola, Zedolick and Purta spearheading the defensive align- ment. It has two = fine wingmen in Mrackoski and Zaledonis. The left- end Mrackoski has been the favorite target most of the season for the Davis Promoted To Lt. Colonel Shavertown Officer Now In Pittsburgh passes thrown by the Braves’ pin- point passer, Bill Turinski. Turinski has completed over fifty percent of his passes and it is ex- pected that the fans will see plenty of aerials tomorrow especially if the Lehman defensive crew of Dubil, Andrasko, Rish, Steele, Rusnak, Kutz, Rittenhouse and Rusiloski can stop the powerful ground attack of the visitors. ‘Wilkes-Barre Township's ground attack is led by one of the most powerful running backs in the val- ley, George Gatcha. Gatcha is just as fine a runner up the middle as he is outside. He is a bulldozing type runner. Gatcha also gets fine offensive help from another out- standing back, Delescavage. He also has good speed and'is a fine pass- catcher. Krugel rounds out the backfield along with quarterback, Bill Turinski. } Lehman Is Strong The Scotties hope to give the Braves plenty of trouble with their of ‘“Joltin’” Joe Lopatsky and Don Walters, their = fine running tailbacks. Also to be watched is the Thomas-to-Goodwin pass combination which clicked fre- quently in "the Scotties’ 39- -20 win over Nescopeck. : one-two punch | Pittsburgh, Nov. 6.—The Army ? i Reserve Center at 6482 Aurelia Street, Point Breeze, has a new | Senior Unit Adviser replacing Lt. | Col. Edward F. Baker, who left in | the late summer for ditty at Fort | Knox, Kentucky. He is Lt. Col. Irvin C. Davis, who with the rank of Major was Execu- | tive Officer of the Reserve Center Lat 1101 West North Avenue before his reassignment in September. His | promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel has just become effective. Colonel Davis was born in Mos- | cow, Pa., and was graduated from | Kingston Township: High School. He enlisted in the Army in March, 1939. While stationed at Schofield Bar- racks, Honolulu, on his first hitch, he earned two years’ evening school credits in Business Administration at the University of Hawaii. He has fought in nine campaigns, in Europe, the Pacific and Korea, He holds the Silver Star, the Purple Heart and many other American and foreign decorations. He is a German prison camp escapee. : He came to Pittsburgh in. the early spring of 1956 from Albuquer- que, New Mexico, where he had been ' Chief, Army Personnel Divis- ion, Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. Colonel Davis, his wife, the former May Del VanCampen of Dallas, and their three-year-old daughter, Tau- na Kate, live on Center Road in Monroeville. His father is Post- master I. G. Davis of Shavertown. Lopatsky set a new scofing reé- is ord last week when he taillied twice to run his total to 19 touchdowns in seven games. He still has two games to play, both tough oppon- ents, Wilkes-Barre Township and West Wyoming. Joe had two long runs of 70 and 43 yards called back on what seemed to be unnecessary penalties; both, after the man had gone into the end zone. Much credit must go to the two coaches of the respective schools: Eddie Edwards of Lehman and Eddie Solack of Wilkes-Barre Township. These two men have done an out- standing job to bring recognition to their. schools. Edward Hall Has Busy Schedule As President Edward Hall, as president of the Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical.
