Dallas At Home; Lehman At Wyoming
Knights Favored To Bag
Locals Seek
Third Win
Against West Wyoming
Dallas Senior High School grid-
ders go after victory number 3”
Saturday afternoon at the Senior
High field when it hosts the West
Wyoming Cowboys. Game time
is 2 p.m.
West Wyoming (1-2) on the sea-
son under new head-coach Nick
Anzelmi, Old Forge native and
former high school star, and
George Washington U. gridder,
has the material to cause plenty of
upsets in the conference before the
season’s over.
Always a scrappy ball club, win,
lose or drawthe Cowboys havehad
three coaching changes in the last
five years which does not neces-
sarily help the team since no three
coaches emphasize the same type
football.
Returnees from last season in-
clude Gatti, Schultz, Banko, Noto,
Froncek, Roberts, Winans, Leoni,
Mulesky, Dennis, Gibbons, Arm-
one, Tomsak, Richards, Stoesser,
Atherholt, Belza, Korpusik, Eshel-
man, Gregorio.
Not all of these boys saw much
action last season but fans can be
assured that these fellows along
with a .few newcomers will cause
plenty of headaches come next
season.
Halfback Problem
Coach Eddie Brominski is faced
with grooming someone for left-
halfback since he lost his number
one and two men by injuries in
the first two contests.
Andrews suffered a fractured foot
in the Lake-Lehman game, while
Farley came out of the Forty-Fort
fray with a broken nose.
Both of these boys are speed
merchants and their absence will
be felt greatly.
Andrews will probably be out
from four to five weeks while’ Far-
ley is expected to miss the West
Wyoming game but it is hoped he
will be back for Exeter the following
week.
As of now the Exeter encounter
looms as a “big one’ and Dallas
knows what the Panthers did last
season.
Bob Neckrasz will probably get
the nod at half for Saturday since
he also has considerable speed.
Others capable of breaking in are
Alan Harris and Harold Dymond,
but neither has too much experi-
ence. Neckrasz has seen consider-
able action on defense, but this
will be his first crack on offense.
Except for these two major in-
juries the rest of the team seems to
be in good physical condition.
Dallas Edges By
Forty-Fort 14-12
A fired-up Forty-Fort eleven
threw a scare into Dallas’ hopes
of any championship Friday night
when it forced the local aggrega-
tion to come from behind to eke
out a 14-12 win on a muddy, rain-
soaked gridiron before some 2,000
onlookers.
Dallas grabbed a quick 7-0 lead
before the game was a minute old
on a recovered fumble on the kick-
off return on their own 40-yard
stripe.
After Noon picked up four, Dallas
caught the Forty-Fort defense flat-
footed by not huddling and pulled
off a halfback passplay from Far-
ley to Kaschenbach that reeled off
51 yards to the Flyers 3 from where
he was hauled down from behind.
Noon again got the call and res-
ponded with a burst into the end-
zone for the score. Farley sliced
off-tackle for the extra point.
Flyers Take Lead
Forty-Fort narrowed the lead to
7-6 early in the second period to
wind up a 64-yard march which
started after the Dallas touchdown.
With backs, Antinnes, McGurk
and Lamoreaux grinding outyard-
age along with good blocking by
the forward wall the Flyers proved
they were not going to be any push-
OVer.
Later in the period Noon, fum-
bled while in punt formation and
Forty-Fort recovered at the Dallas
37.
Again the trio of hard running
backs, Antinnes, McGurk and
Lamoreaux began shredding the
Dallas interior line and moved into
paydirt with Lamoreaux hitting
in from the five-yard strip. Once
again the Dallas line rose to the
occasion to stop a running play for
the extra point and in the end these
two defensive performances were
the difference in the outcome.
Farley Scores
A grim, determined Dallas eleven
refused to call it quits after these
two Forty-Fort scores and took
the ensuing kick-off and marched
downfield for the winning marker.
Siket continuing to display his
poise under pressure called upon
Noon and Farley to carry the
mail and the pair of fleet-footed
backs aided by good blocking in
the front line were sprung loose
for big gains to setup the touch-
down.
After reaching the 20, Noon reel-
ed off 16 yards to the 4 from where
Farley carried it over. Kaschen-
vv
bach scored the extra point on a
running play.
Highlights
The victory was rather a costly
one for coach Eddie Brominski
who just the week before lost one
halfback, Don Andrews with a frac-
tured bone in his left foot. Friday
night the otherleft-half John Farley
suffered a fractured nose and will
probably be outofaction for a week
or two. Andrews will probably be
lost to the ball club from four to
five weeks.
While the interior line of Smith,
Piatt, Ashman, McMichael, Bro-
minski and Swartwood looked
shoddy at times on defense these
boys did open the holes for their
backs on the offense.
Lockhard, Jones, Paltrineri and
Bullock played a bang-up game
on defense to help the Demons to
victory.
Noon again turned in an im-
pressive game from the fullback
slot, and when Farley was injured,
switched to halfback with Ker-
povich moving in at fullback.
Dallas lost another score in the
first period when the officials ruled
Mike Jonesdid nothave possession
of a pass in the endzone and a
heated discussion followed.
Now Executive
For Boy Seoute
Clifford David Mansley, new Boy
Scout executive for Wyoming Val-
_ ley, is moving to Dallas this week,
taking up residence at 52 Wyo-
ming Street. He assumed duties of
his office in Kingston September 1,
the date when resignation of Calvin
Hall, former executive, took effect.
Mr. Mansley has been inthe Boy
Scout field professionally since
1951, when he graduated from
University of Pennsylvania, and
immediately was assigned to train-
ing school at Schiff Scout Reserva-
tion, Mendham, N. J. for basic
schooling.
Prior to this, he had been a vol-
unteer worker in Boy Scouting.
During his college years he be-
longed to the Boy Scout fraternity
Alpha Phi Omega, and the National
honor fraternity Beta Gamma
Sigma. In the Order of the Arrow,
a camping society, he attained Vigil
Honors. He served as president of
Zeta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega,
national service fraternity.
His dossier relating to his years
in Philadelphia is too long to in-
clude in a briefbiographical sketch.
Education in the Scout field, he ex-
plains, goes on and on, one train-

LOCAL BOYS HELP
COLLEGE TEAMS TO
UPSET VICTORIES
Wyoming Valley had three
former high school gridders
help their respective College
teams to produce upsets in Sat-
urday action.
Saturday afternoon on a na-
tionally televised game over
ABC Notre Dame upset Okla-
homa 13-7 with Kingston’s Ed
Rutkoski scoring the firsttouch-
down of the game and also
booted one extra point. Rut
koski also played a vital role
on defense.
George Bednar, Shavertown
resident and former West.Side
Central star, also saw action
with thesecond team and turned
in some fine defensive work.
And from down South, Joe
Lopasky again supplied the
punch as he scored his teams
only TD in the final three min-
utes to help Houston upset Tex-
as A/M 6-3. It was the second
week in a row for Houston to
spring an upset.
This week Notre Dame meets
Purdue and Houston takes on
Mississippi.
Knights Subdue
Northwest, 39-0
Six Players Score
In 39-0 Victory
A host of Lake-Lehman backs
had a field day Saturday after-
noon as the ‘mighty’ Knights
soundly trounced a “mild” North-
west eleven 39-0 on a rather muddy
gridiron.
Coach Eddie Edwards had his
second and third stringersin action
before half time as Lake-Lehman
ran up a 19-0 lead before inter-
mission.
Lake-Lehman cleared its bench in
the final period with two of the
smallest men in the conference, Ray
Scott a 5’ 5” sophomore tipping
the scales at 120 lbs. along with
Don Crispell, freshmen, all of 5’
and weighing 100-lbs. ‘soaking
wet” seeing action. Scott came up
with an interception shortly before
the game ended to almost set up
another Lake-Lehman score.
Rogers, Ellsworth and Lettiehad
-a field day via the airlanes hitting
the backs and ends on 10 of 15
aerials; while Palmer, Brown, Ells-
worth and Rogers ate up chunks
of yardage on the ground.
The deepest penetration North-
west made was to the Lake-Lehman
45 early in the opening period.
Safetyman Bob Rogers thought he
could catch the Northwest defense
napping when he tried to scoop up
4th Win Against Redskins
a slippery pigskin which had a
most rolled dead but was hit hard
with Killian recovering for the
Rangers on their own 43.
Brown, Snyder Score
Following the fumble recovery,
Northwest signal-caller, Cavilini
hit Shoemaker with a pass at the
Knights 45, but on the proceeding
play a bad pass from center went
over Cavilini’s head with Squier
recovering on the Rangers 28 to
set up the first score.
A pass and a running play moved
the ball to the 22 but a penalty .
placed the ball at the 11 as North-
west was guilty of mask-tackling.
Rogers then with a beautiful fake
rolled out to the left and reached
the 2 from where Brown smashed
over for the score. Ellsworth kicked
the extra point for a 7-0 lead.
Later in the period Lopasky came
up with the first of four Lake-
Lehman interceptions at the 34 to
set up the next TD.
With a fourth down and six situa-
tion, Rogers hit Snyder at the 5
from where he raced in for the
tally. Ellsworth’s kick went wide.
Ellsworth To Landis
Early in the second quarter the
Knights hung up its third score of
the game following a Northwest
punt when Ellsworth took a pitch-
out from Rogers and on the half-
back pass found Landisin the open
at the 10 and he carried it over for
a 19-0 lead. The play covered 41
yards.
Lake-Lehman missed another
score later in the period after it
marched from its own 38 to the
Northwest 1 before a fumblehalted
the drive with Noss making the
recovery.
Maintain Possession
Although the Knights only hung
up one touchdown in the third
period they did maintain posses-
sion of the ball throughout as
Northwest had it but for four plays
from scrimmage.
Taking the second half kick-off
and putting it in play on its’ own
45, Lake-Lehman marched 55
_ yards in ten plays with Rogers
passing 9 yards to Evans for the
tally. Ellsworth booted the extra
point. Score 26-0.
Pass-Lateral Play
Lake-Lehman started a drive
from its own 38 later in the period
and reached the Ranger 35 before
the quarter ended.
The first play of the final period
was an incompleted pass, but on
second down, Rogers tossed a
“quickie” to Landis who pitched to
Palmer trailing the play at the 28
and Palmer raced over untouched
while Landis was being swarmed
under. The kick failed.
Lake-Lehman just off an easy
39-0 romp over Northwest moves
into Wyoming Saturday afternoon
at 2 to take on the Wyoming Red-
skins, last years conference
champs.
Lake-Lehman (3-1) for the sea- /
son rates the edge over the Red-
skins (1-2).
Coach Pete Podwika washithard
through graduation and the re-
serves of last season with a few
jell.
Wyoming lost a tough opener
to a supposedly strong St. John’s
eleven by 2-0, bounced back with
a 19-6 win over a mediocre Luzerne
team and last Saturday suffered a
12-0 setback at the hands of Ed-
wardsville in an upset.
Players with the most experience
include Frank Ragentesi, a guard,
who was one of the outstanding
linemen in the conference last sea-
son; Rich Goryl, a wingman who
saw considerable service last year. =
holdovers have not been able to

starters last year, but all saw con-
siderable action.
Coach Eddie Edwards was able :
to give his second and third string
linemen a work out last Saturday.
The team had little trouble over-
whelming a small, inexperienced
Northwest squad.
None of the backs were

Northwest 49 and then proceeded
to direct the team in for the score
