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. :

game, and since he is only a
freshman, great things can

optimistic
about D.H.S. hockey
Coach Joyce Zangari is
optimistic about . 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

The rain held off just long
enough for the Mount Joy
Tennis Club to finish the ;
annual Labor Day doubles
tennis tournament as was
scheduled.
In the men’s field of
twenty-five teams, top
seeded Gordy Groome and
John Shaeffer, Lancaster,
walked off with the winner’s
trophy by defeating the
home-town team of Bill
Houseal and Charles Groff
in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4.
Other teams shut out by the =
champions were McCafferty
and Walter, Brown and
Wolgemuth, and Witmer
and Sload. Groff and
Houseal were the second
seeds in the tournament.
In women’s play, Mount
Joy’s Marianne Coover and
Bonnie Ritrovato also made
the finals, but were turned
back by Pat Lewicki, East
Petersburg, and her part-
ner, Kitty
Elizabethtown, in the final
match 6-4, 6-2. Lewicki and
Markley also defeated
Marilyn Rhoads and Pam
Millhouse and Donegal
High players Beth Keffer
and Sherry Kinsey.
Trophies were presented
to the winners and runners-
up by club president, Dr.

he said.
Those were not exactly
the words our editor was
longing to hear. “You're
way off base, Predicto,’’ our
editor said. ‘‘Didn’t you see
the E-town game? The
Indians are vastly under-
rated.”’
“The Indian defense is
picking up,” Predicto ad-
mitted, ‘‘and their running
game looks good. They
don’t make a whole lot of
.. mistakes. 1 don’t think
they're going to get blown
out...”
‘Blown out my eye,’’ said
our sports editor. ‘“They’re
# going to win.”
““l use mathematics, not
. emotion,’’ said Predicto.
“Oh yeah?’’ said our
sports editor. ‘‘Can mathe-
matics measure fighting
spirit? Can it measure drive,
hustle, willpower...”
“The Indian passing at-
~~ tack is too weak to register
amin” wues ON My Charts,’
said Pre-
dicto, in his calm, rational
voice.
“Your system is no match

our editor shouted.
