Or is it the flowering crabs that are ‘mixed up?”’ Our sleuth on Bruce Avenue, who reports on the seasons from time to time, isn’t sure. More than a week ago, he looked out over blossoms on a flowering crab and saw wild ducks flying-- SOUTH! In other words, the crabs are activing as if it’s spring, and the geese as if winter is approaching! We'll believe the geese. However, we did hear of another flowering crab tree in bloom on Birchland Avenue, so the issue by the editor’s wife isn’t as clear-cut as it might be! Curvin H.

Donegal Swallows Homecoming Defeat From Solanco, 22-6 After the Donegal - Elizabethtown game, Indian Coach Gayne Deshler said, “We’ve played the easy ones, now!” And, as things are working out, he has been a good football prophet! Saturday, for a Homecoming crowd at D.H.S., the Indians took their third straight defeat of the season, bowing to the Cocalico Eagles, 22-6. The season now stands two and three with no wins in the Lan- caster - Lebanon league. Fumbleitis was blamed for a great part of the Saturday af- ternoon affair as the Eagles swooped down on four Donegal boo-boos. The other factor which caused Donegal embarrassment was a hard-charging fullback named Harold Strunk, who ripped and snorted for more than 150 yards against Donegal’s usually tight defenses. The Eagles went for 177 yards rushing. The Indians, however, were in better form in the air, hitting nine of 13 attempts for 75 yards. Cocalico managed only 3 of 7 for 54. The Indians scored their only TD in the second period as Randy Richards went over the goal from the 10. PAT attempt from scrimmage was not good. At the half, Donegal trailed in a 14-6 score but in the final period, the visitors came through with their third score, Strunk clipping off 36 yards to pay territory. He then passed for the extra two points. This week the Indians go to Annville to meet the Annville - Cleona Dutchmen, who have three league wins--over Garden Spot, 28-6; Solanco, 7-6 and Penn Manor, 14-0. One LLL defeat was claimed, 34-0, by big, bad Manheim Central. A pre-league battle went to Palmyra, 13-6. Watch for Randy Leonard! This week, league standings put Manheim Central on top with four wins and no losses, followed by Elco’s 3-0. Annville-Cleona stands 3-1 while the Indians check out next to the bottom with 0-3, .above Garden Spot’s 0-4.
