First Place At Stake Tonight In
Westmoreland-Swoyersville Tilt
lountaineers Continue Winning Streak
“As Trewern's 35 Subdue Ashley 73-60
Once again first place will be at
stake as the Westmoreland Moun-
taineers and Swoyersville Bailors
It was four weeks ago that these |
two teams met with the same factor |
prevailing, and Westmoreland |
sparked by the first half play of Wes |
Evans topped the Sailors 55-50.
This was the only steback suf-
fered by the Sailors in the first half
of the season.
Feature of the contest will be
five of the top ten scorers in
the North Loop, three from
Westmoreland and two on the
Swoyersville squad.
Ronnie Trewern, who has
been playing. outstanding ball
the past month, leads the five
with: 215 points for a 21.5
average. Gauntlett sports an
18.5 average and Evans 13.3.
Gavlick tops the Sailors in
scoring with 171 tallies for a
17.1 average, with Olejnick
close behind with 167 markers
for an average of 16.7.
All players have seen action
in ten games.
Coach Eddie Chiampi will be out
vin streak in league action.
The last time these two teams
met Chiampi’'s main problem was
to stop the scoring of sophomore |
Tom Gauntlett. This he did fairly
well Gauntlett scoring 11 points,
but Wes Evans took charge and
hung up 20 markers in the first half
to give Westmoreland a substantial
half-time lead. ;
This time it looks like Chiampi’s
biggest headache will be to stop
the fantastic scoring of Ronnie Tre-
wern. The 65 senior has racked
up 93 markers in his last three
outings for a 31 point average. Not
only has his scoring been a big
factor but his rebounding has been
tremendous.
Naturally Westmoreland’s big job
will be to stop the two top scorers
of the Sailors, Gavlick and Olejnick.
Gavlick, a senior, has played
steady ball for Chiampi this season
and over the past three years.
Olejuick, a sophomore, has been
improving steadily with each game
‘and looks like another top "prospect
to come out of Swoyersville.

Trailing at half-time 34-31, the
Mountaineers behind the fabulous
scoring of Ronnie Trewern outscored
the Rockets 19-9 in the third period |
to hold a 50-43 edge going into the |
final period. |

FALSE ALARM D allas Directors
AT NEW SCHOOL
An alarm turned in early
Tuesday evening, summoning
the Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire
Company to the new Dallas
Area High School, turned out to
be false.
The structure now well un-
der cover is constructed pri-
marily of brick, steel, concrete
and tile, thus preventing much
possibility of fire.
After a thorough inspection
by Ray Titus and his crew of
the building with spotlights no -
sign of fire was discovered.
It is believed that a reflection
from one of the stoves burning
in the structure prompted some
person to turn in the alarm.

The two-percent commission
which will apply during the discount

Only two directors voted against
the resolution. They were both from
