“I said that Hanover is a
better team than they
showed against Dallas and
they are,” said Coach Rich
Gorgone of Lake-Lehman
after his Knights defeated
the Hawkeyes 26-14.
“I was surprised in the
beginning of the game. I
was worried about the
defense for a while but
toward the end of the first
half they straightened out
and turned the game
around.”
“I was pleased to see the
kids didn’t quit, they have
a lot of spirit. I'm in-
terested in seeing them
improve and play good
football.”
“John Coulton played a
beautiful game. He’s only a
junior and I think you're
going to hear a lot about
him. Bert Balliet is doing a
nice job at quarterback
too. I'm pleased with all
the kids, even the young
ones on the bench who keep
the spirit high.”
Hanover scored two
touchdowns in the second
period in Saturday’s game
on the Knights field. Rick
Pavlick capped drives of 77
yards and 30 yards for two
touchdowns. Joe Pacropis
failed to kick the extra
point after the first touch-
down but Blaski completed
a pass to Pavlick for a two-
point conversion after the
second score.
The Knights scored their
first touchdown at the end
of the first half on a 21-
yard pass from Balliet to
Coulton climaxing a 73
yard drive by the Knights.
Greg Bogdon failed to kick
the extra point and the half
ended 14-6.
Bert Balliet ran 52 yards
for a Knight touchdown
when they first took the
ball in the second half but
Jack Swire’s run for two
points was unsuccessful.

The Knights meet
Meyers at the Back

Saturday with the game
time at 2 p.m.
‘Meyers has a great
team,’”’ said Gorgone.
“This Saturday will tell
what our team is like. Last
year, they beat us by six
points and the year before
by five. They have a good
team this year but I don’t
believe it is the typical
Meyers team.”
“I don’t think that they
can have the depth they
have had other years.
However, they do have

Charlie D is fast and an
outstanding athlete but I
believe he can be stopped.
Saturday will tell. Our kids
will be in there to stop
him.”

Coach Charles Preece’s
Dallas golfers made it 3-0
Monday afternoon by
defeating GAR 21-0, on the
heels of a 1914-11, win over
West Side Tech last
Thursday.
In Monday’s match at
Irem Temple Country
Club, sophomore Caleb
Greismann was medalist
with four points. Mark
McKane, senior out his
first time in team play, had
four points.
Freshman Jim Smith
took four points and fresh-
men Paul Jobson and Jeff
Balmer each collected
three points. John Lehon,
sophomore who has been
out for the team only four
weeks, had three points.
In the match with West
Side Tech at Happy Valley,
Greismann was medalist
with four points. Jeff
MacDonald and Coyle
Smith also had four points
each.
“Meyers was the home
team and it was Coach
Mickey Gorham’s decision
whether or not he wanted
to play in the downpour last
Friday night. He wanted to
go ahead with the contest
so we had no choice.
“I did put it to our kids,
however, and most of them
indicated they wanted to
play so I couldn’t see any
sense in trying to fight it,”
said Mountaineer Coach
Jack Jones, commenting
on the Meyers-Dallas game
won by the Mohawks 14-6.
The game was played but
it was played before only a
handful of spectators who
were brave enough to sit
through the steady
downpour.
Jones made no excuses
for the Mountaineers loss
because of the rain soaked
artificial turf, however.
“We just didn’t play hard
enough to win,’’ he said. “I
said earlier in the week
that if we played as good or
better than we did against
Hanover we could probably
take Meyers-but we didn’t.
Out blocking was terrible,
we didn’t have any.
“Whether or not they had
the advantage, I don’t
know. Wouldn’t they have
the same advantage on the
dry turf.”
“Gorham did exactly
what we expected him to
do. He ran Charlie
DeGraffenreid a lot. That
was his mistake against
Coughlin, he didn’t run
Charle D often enough.
“We lost the ball game
not a dealer. he only
to YOU!
when we failed to convert
the extra points on
Whalen’s touchdown and
when Bob Murtaugh picked
up Falcone’s fumble and
went over from the five
yard line.”
But Jones pointed out
the fine defensive per-
formance of Jerry Mec-
Dowell, Jim Thomas, Bob
Whalen and Ray Kern, Ed
Stolarick and Bernie
Sherin. Dave Gramps and
Vince Sodrosky were on big
Charlie D throughout the
game.
Both teams played a fine
defensive game and bat-
tled each other the whole
game with the Mohawks
coming out on top.
Dallas had a chance to
score early in the first
quarter when they
recovered a Meyers
fumble at the 16 yard line
but the Mohawk defense
held and forced a fourth
and 16 yard pass by Dough
Smith which went un-
completed.
At the beginning of the
second quarter, it was
DeGraffenreid who gave
Meyers six points by going
over from the one yard line
Tom Merlie hit McGuiness
for the two point con-
version.
Just before the end of the
first half, dallas quar-
terback Doug Smith hit
TAN
Bob Whalen with a 56 yard
pass at the 30 and Whalen
went in for a touchdown.
His pass for two points
went wide.
With less than eight
minutes on the clock in the
third quarter, Dave Moules
hit Steve Asby on a handoff
from Charles Falcone and
knocked the ball loose. Rob
Cross of Meyers scooped it
up and ran into the end
zone for the touchdown.
The try for extra points
failed.
“We made mistakes and
it cost us the game” said
Jones.
But the rain-soaked fans
had other ideas. They
believed the mistake was

Jim Smith and Jim
Thomas each collected
three points and Mark
Hughes had one and a half.

time is 7:30 p.m.
“They have a talented
ball club,” said Jones.
They have Granteed and he
is going to be hard to stop.
No one has stopped him so
far. They are not a fancy
team and they don’t do a lot
of different things. They
almost tell
they’re going to do and
then they do it.
