DALLAS, PENN; SYLVANIA
Shavertown And Lake To Play
For Championship Of League
By KEITH YEISLEY
A near-capacity crowd- Saturday
aight at Dallas Township gymnasium
crowd with fine entertainment,
coupled with three exciting Church
League games.
St. Therese’s Wins
St. Therese’s managed to gain a
two-point victory for the ‘second
consecutive week, defeating a tough
Prince of Peace team'51-49. It was
nip-and-tuck, with the largest lead
no pore than four points.
Pe of Peace led By three points
at the end of the first quarter, one
point at halftime, and the end of the
third quarter found St. Thoresels
ahead by two points.
From there, the lead changed
several times. With 30 seconds
remaining, Jack Hogan, the Saints
guard, the hero of last week's action,
passed the ball to Pete Letts and
raced for the basket. Pete, in turn,
whipped the ball to Hogan who
neatly laid it up for the last two
points of the contest!
With about 10 seconds showing on
the clock, Prince of Peace’s fine
forward, Don Rome, was fouled by
Keith Yeisley as he was driving in
for a lay-up. His first charity shot
bounced out of the basket, and he
threw the ball at the banking board
for his second shot in the hopes of
grabbing his own rebound and stuff-
ing it through the cords to tie the
SCO He was called for crossing
the’ line too soon, and the Saints
were awarded the ball. It was tossed
in to guard Bob Shotwell, who was
satisfied with maintaining possession
oe the byeser sounded ending the
rN St. ade s, Pete Letts was
the offensive standout hitting 17
points with a wide variety of deadly
shots. Bob Bolton was next with 16
counters, which included six tallies
out of six tries at the free throw line.
Last week he hit for 13 out of 14
fouluattempts to make it 19 out of a
possible 20 in the last two games!
The whole Prince of Peace team must
be cited for tight man-for-man de-
fense, especially in the first half:
Forward Don Rome was. the high
with 14 points, followed by Tom
Richardson’s 11. Lee Ohlman did a
terrific job fighting for rebounds and
making it tough for the Saint's tall
men while also managing to score
9 points. \
Huntsville Wins
In the second game, * Huntsville
snapped a seven-game losing streak
to beat a fired-up East Dallas 59-50.
Huntsville maintained a four-point
lead at the end of the first quarter,
at the half, and at the end of the
It wasn’t until the
oN quarter that it gained any
sizable lead, when Clint Brobst and
Warren Long broke Joos for some
digging lay-ups.
. ®or the winners, Warren “Abe”
Loe played a beautiful ‘game and
finished high man with 19 points,
including five-for-five from the free
throw line. Clint Brobst backed Abe
up with his eight goals and one foul
conversion for 17 points. Bob Grose
displayed deadly shooting from the
outside and finished with 13. The
other two Brobst brothers, Charlie
and Harold, did a fine job on the
‘backboards for Huntsville, pulling
down innumerable rebounds. Gary
Dietz featured with his Bob Cousy-
type passing.
For East Dallas, Frank Tencza was
Jean point-getter with 15, backed
' Connie Higgins’ and Big Bill
eh ten apiece. Bill Lewis also
displayed fine form in plucking off
rebounds; in fact, one of his oppo-
nent’s said that he “gets up in the
air gas if he were seven feet tall.”.
Act} Fy, Bill is only 6'2”. Doug
Shelley turned in a fine floor game
> East Dallas, helping to set up
plays with his alert passing.
vs Mountaineers
In the main attraction, WARM
Radio team defeated the “Mountain-
eers”’ girl's team 43-42.
After a tie at the end of the first
Wh
quarter, WARM moved into a 27- 24 |
halftime lead, but fell behind at the
end of the third quarter, 32-29.
‘George Gilbert, who led the
WARM team in scoring with 17
points, had a technical foul called on
hith for signing autographs during
the progress of the game. He ob-
jected vehemently, and received
another technical foul.
The ‘Masked Marvel” would have
had a good game, but was always
called for hugging fouls when it was
obvious that he was making every
oN to pull away from his oppo- | Di
Vince Kearney had one of the best
games of his “career” as he com-
‘pletely dazzled the girls with his
unorthodox shots which he used in
scoring 10 points.
* Guy Fowler was satisfied with
passing the ball around [to his
teammates and opponents, Sioniing
at: one end of the court for long
Actually, Guy just didn’t
with his driving lay-up shots.
Hall Shaver was knocked daffy as
one of the girls, in a fit of despair at
having lost the ball to him, took up
a punching bag!
~Amiable Jim Davies moved the
ball around, helping to further con-
‘fuse the girls. He got his signals
mixed and set up some scoring plays
Art Knight, dribbling specialist,
}. Yor the girls, who really resembled
“Mountaineers” with their ribald
‘attire and aggressive play, it was
Carol Dawn showing the way with
10 points, followed by Captain Nancy
points.
One of the bigdes assets that the
girls took advantage of, was the
scoring by the WARM team in their
basket. Clean-cut Don Stevens did
the announcing for the game, and
the personnel of the Church League.
Lakers Are Tied
In the final game, - Shavertown
avenged a first-half defeat, and, at
the same time put themselves into a
tia for firct nlace with the Lakers, by
virtue of a 68-58 victory.
Shavertown just couldn't do any-
thing wrong as they hit with
amazing accuracy from the field and |
also hit for fourteen out of twenty
shots from the free throw line. They
produced a well-balanced = attack,
with five men in double figures.
Harveys Lake was playing without
the league's leading scorer, Don
“Zeek” Hinkle, who was home in
bed with a virus infection. *
It may not have made that much
difference, however, since 6’9" Dave
Shales donned his uniform for Har-
veys Lake for the first time this
season, and managed to block quite
a few of his opponent's shots.
Sharp-shooting guard Dick Sear-
foss, of the Lakers, was in trouble
for at least half of the game, playing
the entire second half with four
personal fouls charged against him.
For the winners, Gene Brobst and
Bill Oney shared scoring honors with
17 points apiece; Bill hitting on his
famous one-hand set shot, and Gene
overpowering opponents under the
basket for his counters. Bob Hontz’
contributed 11 points and Stan Davis
10 points in the victory, and Ernie
Widmann, who controlled both
boards, displayed fine accuracy and
tallied 11 points. Speedy Bob Harris
was the offensive stalwart for Coach
Searfoss’ Lakers, as he shot from all
over the court and rang up 19 tallies.
Dick Searfoss let fly with a few long
two-hand set shots that rippled the
cords as they went through the
basket, without even touching the
rim!
| This victory for Shavertown gives
them an 8-2 record, identical to that
of Harveys Lake, and, therefore, it
will be necessary for these two teams
to meet next week in a play-off game
to determine the league champion-
ship.
St. Therese’s: ond Prince of Peace
will again meet, this time to decide
who: takes third place, since their
records are also identical, each team
sporting 5 wins and 5 losses. These
two games should prove to be
thrillers!
Dallas Athletic Council, who spon-
sored the evening to help raise funds,
purchased jackets for Westmoreland
High School seniors who have earned
them. ~The Council made a fine
profit and wishes to thank all the
fans, the cheerleaders, and others
who helped to make the program
possible, and in particular the gentle-
men from WARM who were kind
enough to lend their full-fledged
Support. These fellows came from
various parts of the area, on their
o¥wn time and without any charge
whatsoever, in order to help promote
this worthy cause.
Please remember that at the play-
off games this Saturday night no
admission ‘will be charged, only the
usual donation at the door. There
will be at least two, and possibly
three games played, starting at
7 P. M,, so be sure to plan to attend
for an evening of exciting basketball!

ter.

shots, while Westmoreland showed

Flashing Red Light
Requires Full Stop
The Department of Highways
warns motorists that a flashing red
light at an intersection means that
vehicles must be brought to a full
stop before they are driven into the
intersection.
The Department’s Traffic Engi-
neering Bureau said it has been
receiving reports = that motorists
are assuming that the flashing red
lights are merely. warnings to be
i careful, and that a full stop is not
required.
Motorists should not confuse the
quire a full stop.
A flashing amber light usually
confronts traffic on a main road,
while the flashing red light is for
traffic on the intersecting subsidiary
road.
