Solanco 15 — Donegal 7
What ha
pened?
Pete Splain (32) heads for open territory, but the football heads for the ground. Somehow,
Pete and quarterback Brian Ney (12) didn’t connect. Pete held on with his elbow for a
second, then the ball fell and a Solanco Mule scooped it up. It was a bad night for the
previously unbeaten Indians.
An eerie silence hung
over the football field at
Donegal High last Friday
as the Solanco Mules
stomped the Donegal In-
dians 15-7.
Football expert Mac
Rutherford had predicted
that the Indians, who won
their first three games this
season without allowing an
opponent to score, would
scalp the Mules 27-0.
What happened?
Most obviously, Solanco
used the right strategy.
Solanco’s big offensive
linemen, charging from a
tight formation, opened
holes in the lightweight
Donegal schools

Julie named
co-captain
Julie Meszaros Smith, a
1974 DHS grad, was
recently elected a captain
of the Shippensburg State
College field hockey team.
Julie, from Marietta, is a
senior elementary educa-
tion major there. She has
been an outstanding varsity
line player for 3 years, and
scored 3 goals last year.
Julie is also active at
Shippensburg in the Wo-
men’s Atheltic Assoc., the
Tau Kappa Gamma athletic
sorority, and the Delta Rho
sorority.
Donegal defense.
The Indians’ speed and
reflexes have made up for
their size in past games,"
but Solanco was able to
consistently and single-
mindedly batter its way
through the Donegal line.
The Indian offense didn’t
turn in its usual perfor-
mance, either. In the
second half, the offense got
the ball five times. Twice,
they fumbled the ball
away. Twice, they lost the
ball on 1S yard penalties.
The fifth time, they were
stopped by their op-
ponents.
Brian Ney scored the
Indian’s touchdown on a 1

yard plunge and Pete
Splain kicked the extra
point.
Heavy rain prevented the
bands from playing, and
the Donegal bleachers
didn’t make much noise
during the second half.
The strange silence and
the unexpectedly tough
opponents may have af-
fected the Indians’ confi-
dence. Donegal backs car-
ried the ball around the
wrong end of the line
twice — something they
have never done before this
season.
Next week, the Indians
will get a chance to make a

comeback, when they take
on highly-rated Manheim
Central.
Central is another big
team, and they have a very
capable quarterback named
Ron Brown.
The Susquehanna Times
would like to make a
prediction: we predict that
Mac Rutherford will pick
Central to win.
Rutherford doesn’t make
many mistakes, but his
predictions about the In-
dians have been 75 percent
wrong this year.
The unpredictable In-
dians may surprise every-
one again next weekend.
Tuesday the 4th: hockey

freshman hockey vs.
Hempfield, away, 4:00.
