That’s the way the Saturday, Oct. 20, afternoon football game at Donegal has shaped up! : This week the Donegal Indians and the Garden Spot Spartans are tied for eighth place in the Lancaster-Lebanon league Section II standings, each showing no wins and four loses. But, when the final gun sounds over the Tribal girdiron Satur- day, one or the other will be sitting alone around a cold camp fire at the bottom of the totem pole. On Saturday, Oct. 13, Donegal was battered, 26-7, at Annville- Cleona and the Spartans were downed, 19-7, by Penn Manor. Donegal’s Big Green Saturday bumped into trouble on the first kickoff and never was able to pull out of a tough afternoon despite the fact the attack on the ground rolled up more than 200 yards from scrimmage. Randy Leonard took the opening kick and ran it back 84 yards to set the stage for other Donegal disasters. Late in the same period, an Indian pass was grabbed by Bruce Dohner, who went 26 yards for another T.D. In the second period, A-C needed only three plays to push the ball 75 yards for a third score, which stood 18-0 at the half. Donegal’s counter came in the third as the Tribe moved 55 yards, Grove carrying home the ball from the two. Kicking try by Sheetz was good for an extra point. The Dutchmen completed their homecoming afternoon with a fourth touchdown in the fourth period as Leonard again crossed the goal from the nine. A running try for PAT was good. Donegal has 12 first downs against A-C’s four but was not able to count from the air on eight dttempts. Another Donegal problem was three lost fumbles. As Donegal and Garden Spot line up for Saturday’s battle, this is how they -have played their league games, with Annville- Cleona as their only common emeny, thus far: Donegal Lamp.-Stra. 16, Donegal 0 Elco 19, Donegal 12 Cocalico 22, Donegal 6 Ann.-Cleona 26, Donegal 7 Garden Spot Ann.-Cleona 28, Garden Spot 7 Solanco 17, Garden Spot 14 Manheim Cent. 43, Garden Spot 0 Penn Manor 19, Garden Spot 7 Charles W.
