‘0b This aud
That’
Are the wild geese confused?
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!

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.
