Page 12—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Indians rush 303 yards to Bears’ 48; win 20-12 Last Friday night the Indians of Donegal triumph- ed impresively over the Bears of E-town. The score was 20 to 12. Steve Meszaros carried the ball for 111 yards in 13 carries. He ran 61 and then 12 yeards for touchdowns. Except for two freak events, a 90-yard return of the kickoff by Bear Rick Ulrich and a 45-yard run after a pass interception by Bear John Stroh, Donegal dominated the field. The indians picked up 303 yards rushing. E-town picked up a totai of 48 yards. Coach Deshler was re- ported as being pleased with both the offensive and defensive playing of his Zangari team. ; Quarterback Darrel Ris- berg threw the pass which was intercepted and run 45 yards for a Bear touchdown and another pass that was intercepted. : however, his first varsity game, and since he is only a freshman, great things can be expected of Yim in the future.

Donegal High School's hockey team this year. ‘‘I'm sure we will have a winning season,’ she says. We have a lot of talent. It’s just a question of getting everyone where they should be.”’ Donegal’s hockey team uses a ‘‘system’’ which is different from the tradition- al style of the game. The younger players still have not adapted completely to the ’'system,’’ but when they do the team will start to really click. So far they have played two scrimmages and two non-league games. They won one, tied one, and lost two. The first league game is this Wednesday with Man- heim Central. Coach Zan- gari expects it to be a good game, because Manheim Central usually fields a strong team. ‘“We have a fairly strong attack,”” Coach Zangari says. ‘‘We have aggressive players in the forward line.” There are only two seniors on the team: Tanya Merchant and Barb Stoner, both goalies, so only one can play. There are four other players from last year’s varsity: juniors Sherry Derr, Brenda Hershey, Betsy Germer, and Joann Storm. The younger players make up in enthusiasm and skill what they lack in experience and knowledge of the ’’system,’”’ which is similar to the ’’system’’ used in soccer. Two freshmen are playing on the varsity this year. Listening to coach Zan- gari, one gets the feeling that the future of hockey at Donegal is bright for the next year or two. Girls tennis team off to strong Donegal’s girls tennis team has played in two non-league matches this year and won both. They beat Warwick S to 2 and Cedar Crest 42 to 2Y:. This past Monday they played their first league match against Solanco and won 6 to 1. Friday the girls take on 2-win the non-league competitor, Elizabethtown. Twenty girls are out for the team. The seeds are: 1. Beth Kesser, 2. Sherri Kinsey, 3. Marty Miller, 4. Sharon Hershey, S. Darlene Musser. The doubles pairs are: 1. Kesser and Kinsey, and 2. Miller and Hershey. Soccer team getting things together:Thome Bernie Thome says his Donegal soccer team is off to a slow start. The team is gradually getting things together, he says. They have lost exhibitions games to Conestoga Valley (0-3) and Garden Spot (2-6). Last Tuesday they beat Lampeter-Strasburg, 5-3. ““We came on strong in the last period,” Thome said. Three goals were scored in the final period. Then last Thursday So- lanco was out-booted, 4-1, by the Indians. Thome says the next five games are going to be tough. McCaskey will be faced Wednesday night at Done- gal, the JV’s at 6 p.m., and the varsity at 7:30 p.m. Friday afternoon the booters meet E-town at E-town. start Which Lancaster-Lebanon League football teams will win next weekend? Doctor Predicto, the secretive mathematical wizzard of Indians score! Predicto foolishly picks Manheim Central 22-13 Mount Joy, completed his elaborate computations last Monday afternoon, and was ready to prognosticate when our sports editor sought him out, shortly before press time. Predicto didn’t mince words. ‘‘Manheim Central Top seeds walk off with trophy in Mount Joy Tennis Tournament [Top photo [I-r]: Charles Groff, Bill Houseal, Jim Shaeffer, Gordy Groome; Lower photo [l-r]: Pat Lewicki, Kitty Ritrovato.
