Indians BowTo Barons;
Meet Comets In Finale
Putting points on the board in all four quarters, Manheim'’s crushing
Barons Friday night, Nov 2, blanked Donegal’s Indians, 23-0 to push
the 1973 season on to its last encounter on the schedule.
Saturday, Nov. 10, the Tribe goes to Millersville to battle the Penn
Manor Comets and to close the campaign which has to date seen three
wins against six defeats.
While Donegal is tied with
Solanco (1 and 6) for eighth place
in the Lancaster-Lebanon league,
Penn Manor stands with a half
share of third spot with Cocalico.
Saturday’s finale kicks off at 2
p.m.
Last week the Indians absorbed
their second shutout in as many
weeks and their third of the
season. But the blanking was
from a big, tough ball club which
ran and threw with fury to
overcome -a stubborn Indian
defence.
The Barons moved 186 yards on
the ground and just one yard less
in the air for a total of 371 yards,
and 15 first downs, against
Donegal’s 61 and 8 for 69 yards-
and seven first downs.
Actually, Manheim Central
was penalized more than twice
the distance Donegal made from
rushing. Officials set back the
Barons 125 yards. Donegal lost
only five for misplays.
Host Central opened in the first
with a two-point safety and then
added touchdowns in each of the
other quarters, converting by
place kicks each time.
Although the Comets of Penn
Manor will enter Saturday's
game as the favorites, com-
parative scores do not
necessarily put the Indians at a
big disadvantage.
Two weeks ago Manheim
Central clipped PM 260. The
week before, the Comets won 13-0
from Solanco. Donegal had
stopped the Mules, 12-0, just a
week ago.
Early in the season, before loop
play began, Donegal blanked
E’town 12-0, the week after that
the Bears had won from Penn
Manor, 18-6.
Elco, tied with Manheim
Central for the league leadership,
also was an early-season op-
ponent of both Saturday con-
testants. The Raiders from
Lebanon county won from Penn
Manor by three touchdowns, but
from Donegal by only one.
In their most recent outing,
Friday, the 2nd, the Comets were
tripped 23-7 by York Catholic.
Braves ‘C’' Team Grabs Win
For Divisional Championship
The Donegal Braves ‘“‘B”’ team
ended its season on the upside
with a 18-0 victory over the
Lancaster Presidents, Sunday
afternoon, Oct. 21, on the D.H.S.
field.
Although plagued by 4 in-
terceptions, the Braves shut out
their opponents behind a rugged
defensive unit anchored by Tom
Weber, Steve and Joe Butz, Steve
Brackbill, Eric Gerlitzki and Ted
Richards. After a scoreless first
period, Scott Jones scampered 15
yards for a score and a 6-0 lead.
Then in the next series, Tom
Weber jarred the ball loose from
its holder, Brian Ney scooped it
up and raced in for the score and
a 12-0 advantage. Dave Eichler
intercepted one pass, Tom Weber
another and with Weber also
recovering a fumble. Ted
Richards recovered another
loose ball as the defensive unit
looked sharp. Late in the fourth
quarter, Jones again scampered
13 yards for the score and a solid
18-0 victory.
The “A” team did not fare as
well. The Presidents powered
their way to a 20-0 victory. The
offense, led by Mark Divet, Todd
Richards, Scott Mowrer and
Doug Hopwood, could not move
the ball against the visitors. The
defense, led by Scott Baker, Bob
Pyle, Craig Meyers, Carl Gohn
and Randy Derr, were hard-
pressed and succumbed three

office at Mount Joy, Penna.,
as second class mail under the
times to the onslaught of the
Presidents. Greg Sload and
Mowrer each recovered fumbles
and Hopwood intercepted a pass
but the Braves came away
empty-handed.
The ““C”’ team rose to the oc-
casion and blanked the
Presidents, 21-0, in the decisive
game for both teams for the
divisional championship. The
Braves scored early on a 16-yard
run by quarterback Allan White.
In the third quarter, Steve Neal
intercepted a pass and returned
the ball 20 yards for a score and a
12-0 lead. A Steve Meszaros to
Todd Butz pass was good for the
2-point conversion and the score
read 14-0. Then, with only ‘one
minute left, Allan White again
swept around his own end for 15
yards and the score. Meszaros
wiggled in for the PAT and a 21-0
victory.
Meanwhile, the defense, led by
Frank Brommer, Jeff Kauffman
and Jeff Duke, repeatedly
dropped the ball carriers in their
own backfield. This defensive
unit yielded but one first down in
this game and our record keeper
noted that they gave up only nine
first downs all season and did not
allow a single point to be scored
against them. This represents
apparently, the first divisional
championship ever to be won by a
Donegal Braves team. On Sun-
day, November 4th, the league
championships will be held at the
DHS field starting at 1 P.M.

portant, the self-inspection the
school has done in preparing for
the visit is perhaps more
significant. He also pointed out
that at times like in 1973 when
there is a great surplus of
teachers and there is much less
moving of personnel from one
district to another, less new blood
is brought into the school system
and there is neeed for added
emphasis on internal growth.
Team members will use the
office of Donegal High School

Donegal Braves ‘C' Team Wins Playoff Place
In Sunday Championships Against York .
The Donegal Braves ““C’’ team
garnered a share of the Red Rose
League Championship as it
battled St. Anne's to a thrilling,
spine-tingling 6-6 tie on Sunday,
Nov. 4, on the DHS field.
It was a hard-fought defensive
tilt which saw St. Anne’s score
the first points against the
Braves this year. After a
scoreless first quarter, Donegal
took the ball and began a drive
which was finally stalled inside
the ten-vard line of St. Anne's.
Alternating between off tackle
runs by Frank Brommer and end
sweeps run by Steve Meszaros,
Allan White and Todd Butz, the
Braves methodically moved the
ball on the ground to within sight
of their opponents goal. There St.
Anne's stiffened and Donegal was
forced to turn over the ball on
downs. Donegal’s defensive unit
of Jeff Kauffman, Frank
Brommer, Jeff Duke, Cory
Heisey, Darin Kolp, Ron Ken-
nedy, Steve Neal, Joe Althoff,
White, Butz and Meszaros then
proceeded to cut off any St. Anne
offense and the score at half-time
read 0-0.
At the start of the second half,
St. Anne put together a good
drive which resulted in a three-
yard TD run and a 6-0 lead.
Donegal, stung by the first
points to be scored against them,
took the ensuing kick-off, ran
several plays and then Frank
Brommer sprinted up the middle
for 63 yards and the tying touch-
down. On the PAT attempt,
Brommer was caught just short
of the goal and the score stood at
6-6. In the fourth quarter,
Donegal held their opponents on
downs when a fourth down and 1
yard play on the 15 yard line was
stopped short. Donegal took over
with less than one minute to play
and after several nice pass plays
from White to Kennedy moved
down to St. Anne’s 25, where time
ran out.
The entire squad, those
mentioned before plus Marty
Harmes, Jim Perry, George
Armold, Jim McNiff, Craig Leh-
man, Scott Hoover, Bill Dishart,
Dale Clites and Darrel Risberg
all made their contribution to
make this year a team effort and
a team championship. The

Answer
QUESTIONS PP&L CUSTOMERS ARE ASKING
Why doesn't
PP&L put all
power lines
underground?
With today’s emphasis on the environment, it's only natural that
people wonder why more electric lines are not installed underground.
For power lines of higher voltages there is simply no way. Even
where technology has answers, in most situations the costs soar
out of sight — along with the disappearance of the lines.
To place all existing PP&L lines underground even if it were possible
is estimated to cost approximately $5 billion. That's more than
three times the total dollars PP&L now has invested in all its power
plants, lines, substations, trucks, equipment and offices after
over 50 years in business.
OK — so how about putting all new lines underground, you might ask.
Again, cost is the culprit.
For years, PP&L has been installing lines underground wherever
congestion of overhead facilities, such as in downtown streets,
would result in operating difficulties.
Underground service is also installed for residential use
when the builder or homeowner assumes,
as the ultimate beneficiary of the service, the added cost.
Please be assured that if PP&L could put lines underground
without having to raise the price charged for electricity drastically,
we would do so. We are working hard at finding the balance
between higher costs and aesthetic values
— and we will continue to do so.
