BATTLE ON THE BOTTOM
Indians to Battle Spartans
Battle at the bottom!
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:
