Crusaders Win
In the opening game on the
new artificial turf at Meyers
Stadium last Friday night, the
Lake-Lehman Knights lost to
the Coughlin: Crusaders, 35-14.
Ed Murray and Jack Lipfert
turned in a fine running per-
formance for the city team, as
they collected a total of 175
yards between them. Murray
took the ball 18 times for 116
yards, while Lipfert carried it
nine times. Tom McDade,
Crusader quarterback, helped
the city squad by passing
‘successfully seven times, to
collect 58 yards and add up four
first downs.
Coughlin’s strong defensive
line forced Lake-Lehman to
take their game to the air, and
the Crusaders came up with
four interceptions, two of them
by John Paciotti and one a 61-
yard return by Dave Jones for a
Coughlin touchdown.
Following the opening
kickoff, Coughlin went 68 yards
for their first touchdown of the
game with’ Murray and Lipfert
getting three first downs.
Lipfert made it a first down at
the Crusaders’ 49-yard line,
then Murray ran for another 29
yards and a second first down at
Lake-Lehman’s 24-yard : line.
The Crusaders continued their
drive to the Knights’ 11-yard
line, and on the next play
Murray ran around the end to
score the first of his two touch-
downs of the game. The conver-
sion kick was wide and the score
was 6-0.
Following the kick, the
Coughlin squad held the Knights
to four plays when Paciotti
intercepted a pass at his own 48-
yard line and went to the 15. A
clipping penalty, however, took
the ball back to the Coughlin 47-
yard line at the end of the first
quarter.
The second. period opened
with Coughlin going to the eight
yard line, with Murray and
Lipfert doing the running and
McDade connecting for two
passes. Again, Murray scored,
taking the ball over from the
eight-yard line.
around the end for the extra two
points and, with nearly eleven
minutes remaining in the
second quarter, the Crusaders
were in front 14-0.
John Grey and Mark Kalish
tried hard to start a running
drive but the Coughlin defense
held and the backs were able to
pick up only a few yards on a
play. is

line. McDade caught the
Knights off guard by tossing a
pass ito Colin Davenport, who
went from the 22-yard line over
the goal line for the score. The
kick for the extra point was
good and the scoreboard read
21-0.
On their only long drive of the
half, the Knights moved to the
Crusaders 45-yard line, but
gave up the ball on downs as the
half ended.
The Lake-Lehman 11
recovered the ball in the third
period and began to move. Gary
Naugle and Chris Yanchik hit
their receivers and good
passing took Lake-Lehman to
the Coughlin nine yard line.
Then Naugle found Craig
Yanchik wide open in: the
scoring zone for the Knights’
first score. The try for extra
point failed and the score was
21-6.
The Knights defense forced
Coughlin to punt on their next
possession, and the Back
Mountain boys appeared to be
ready to score, when Paciotti
again intercepted and took the
ball to the Knights 15-yard line.
Again, Murray and Lipfert
cooperated to carry the ball to

the one-yard line, with Lipfert
taking it over for the touch-
down. Carrol’s kick for extra
point was good and the score
went to 28-6 for Coughlin.
With four minutes remaining,
the Knights had a chance, when
Kalish caught a pass that went
through Paciotti’s hands on
Coughlin’s 41. ‘On the second
play from scrimmage, Naugle
threw a perfect pass to Chris
Yanchik for a 37-yard touch-
down. Naugle passed fo C.
Yanchik for the two point
conversion and the score was
28-14.
The Knights had another
break when they recovered the
Crusaders’ kick at the city
team’s 46-yard line. However,
Coughlin’s Jones intercepted C.
Yanchik’s pass on the first play
and went around the end for a
61-yard touchdown. Carroll’s
kick for the extra point was
good, and the score ended 35-14.
Gary Naugle, Chris and Craig
Yanchik, Larry Pall, John Grey
and Mark Kalish turned in some
outstanding performances for
the Lake-Lehman Knights.
The Lake-Lehman Knights
will meet the Pittston Patriots
at Pittston Saturday night, with
game time at 7:45 p.m.

Hunter Safety Course
Moved to Junior High
The site of the final hunter
safety course to be offered this
year by District Game
Protector Edward Gdosky has
been changed from the Game
Commission’s Northeast
Division office at Dallas, to the
Dallas Junior High School.
The course will be given at the
school Nov. 24, beginning at
noon. Persons taking the course
should plan on being there until
5:30 p.m.
The course had originally
been scheduled for the Game
Commission Office; however,
limited facilities made it
necessary to transfer the
location to a larger facility.
This will be the last opport-
unity for first-time hunters who
are under the age of 16 to take
the course and qualify for a
hunting license prior to the
upcoming deer season.

He made. the fourth-down

three-yard line, which they had

A strong defense and the fine
performance of Tom Considine
and Mel Wynn helped the
Mountaineers defeat Bishop
O’Reilly,
School field.
In the first four minutes of the
game, the Dallas 11 put their
first score on the board, after
marching 60 yards down the
field, following the opening
kickoff. Sophomore Brian
Sickler, using an option play,
went across from the three-yard
line for the score.
The touchdown was set up by
Mel Wynn, running back, with
one run of 30 yards.
Chuck Wilson made the kick
for the extra point good and the
score was 7-0.
It was then an exchange of
punts for the balance of the first
period and most of the second,
until Sickler recovered an
O’Reilly fumble on the visitors’
35-yard line. Again, strong
running by Considine and Wynn
brought the Dallas team to the
Queensmen nine-yard line,
before they were halted by a
concentrated effort of the
O’Reilly defensive team.
The Mountaineers had
possession of the ball with a
fourth down and 13 yards for a
score situation, with only 39
seconds remaining in the half.
Wilson took a chance on a 31-
yard field goal, it was good, and
the half ended with Dallas in
front, 10-0.
The Mountaineers’ threat in
the third period was again
blocked by the O'Reilly defense.
The Queensmen then drove 49
yards, and with only a little
more than six minutes
remaining in the. quarter,
Richard Gaissl scored from the
nine-yard line. Joe Onzik made
the point conversion good and
the score read 10-7.
Shortly after, the Queensmen
again gained possession of the
ball on the Mountaineers’ 21-
yard line and advanced it to the
14, where they lost it on fourth
and three to go on a bad throw to
Jay Crossin.
In the fourth period, the
Queensmen lost another opport-
unity “to score when they
received Al Pisaneschi’s punt
and Mike Swiantek took it to the
Dallas 30-yard line. But again
the Dallas defense came to the

Late in the quarter, the
Mountaineers received a punt
on their own 47-yard line, and
with Considine and Wynn
gaining the yardage, helped by
two personal foul penalties, the
Mountaineers sewed up the
game by scoring a second
touchdown with 3:25 remaining
in the game. Considine went
across from the two-yard line
and Wilson made the conversion
point good. The final score stood
at 17-7.
The fine defensive playing of
Gramps, Mark Lusaitus, Paul
Adams, Tim Sawyer, and
Sickler was their most out-
standing of the season. Wynn
carried the ball 18 times for a
total of 93 yards, and Considine
took it 11 times for 65 yards to
account for 158 of the Mountain-
eers’ 163 yards gained on the
ground.
The Mountaineers gained 15
yards in the air against the
Queensmen’s 17. The Queen-
smen were unable to break the
Dallas defense and gained less
than 65 yards on the ground.
First downs were few; with the
Mountaineers picking up nine;
Bishop O’Reilly gained six.
