Donegal Indians
Close Season
Donegal’s Indians have hung
up their 1973 war bonnets and are
smoking the gridiron peace pipe
of early winter!
The paint and feathers of the
fall campaign disappeared
Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10, at
Millersville as the Penn Manor
Comets axed the Tribe, 24-6, and
brought peace to the valley.
At the half, Donegal still had a
chance, trailing only 10-6, but in
the final period the hosts turned
on the steam and counted two
more touchdowns, adding a pair
of conversions.
Thus, the Tribe, which opened
the season with a pair of shutout
wins, closed the year with 3-7
record and with one win in the
league against seven losses. The
latter was good for a tie with
Cocalico for the loop celler.
Manheim Central, as expected
by gridiron watchers, posted the
best record in the nine-team loop,
8-1-1, and tied the L-L league
mark of 7-0-1 with Elco.
The single Donegal counter on
Saturday came late in the second
period, after a Penn Manor
touchdown and conversion and a
25-yard field goal. Indian Ken
Grove carried the ball in for
Donegal on a nine-yard pass from
Randy Richards.

MOUNT JOY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER
MOUNT JOY, PENNA.
NOVEMBER 14, 1973
TEN CENTS
To Display Christmas
Lights On Main Street
But Save The Electricity
Mount Joy's traditional Christmas street decorations are ‘‘half-
victims’’ of the energy crisis!
If present plans are followed through - and there is every indication
that they will - the decorations will be erected as usual. But, they will
not be lighted!
Thus, the Christmas lights
become non-lights and will be for
daytime enjoyment only.
The lighting problem has been
under consideration for some
time but last week - following
President Nixon's Wednesday
night address, the matter sur-
faced quickly and a decision
reached after sampling public
opinion locally.
The wreath decorations are to
be erected as usual and the
“greeting” signs at each end of
Main street will be strung across
the highway. :
It was suggested but no com-
mittment made, that if -- just if --
there should be a change in the
power situation or there should
be some official ruling about
Christmas lighting at the last
minute, or perhaps a relaxation
for some few days just prior to
Christmas, it would be a
relatively simple job to attach the
cords to the wreaths and to the
signs and to turn on the lights.

year preparing bazaar items to

munity projects the club spon-
sors.

children of all ages, women and -
men. Also there will be an

arrangements.
Take 12-0 Rose Bowl Win
Donegal Braves ‘C' Team Finishes
Season With Untamished Record
The Donegal Braves ‘“C”’ team
completed an unbeaten season
Sunday, Nov. 11, by whipping
Dallastown, 12-0, in the ‘‘Rose
Bowl” game at Donegal high
field between the Central Penn
league of York county and the
Lancaster County Red Rose
league champions.
The first half saw the
Dallastown team move the ball
well against the Braves, but when
the future Indians had their
backs to the wall they stiffened
and held several times on downs.
Jeff Kauffman was all over the
field making tackles as the
defense rallied.
Late in the second quarter, the
Braves started a drive from.deep
in their own territory and moved
quickly down the field on the
strength of a sparkling 62-yard
run by Steve Meszaros. After
several short gainers, Todd Butz
took a pitch-out from Allan White
and raced around his own right
end for 10 yards and the score.
The PAT was no good and
Donegal had a 6-0 lead.
In the second half the Braves
apparently made their adjust-
ments and completely shut off the
Dallastown attack. Ron Kennedy,
Decision On Ice Alley Closing Expected Soon
Whether or not Ice Alley will be vacated by
the borough to allow its use by Lancaster Leaf
Tobacco company continues an unsettled
matter.
However, one question which may weigh
heavily in the decision is expected to be
resolved by Monday, Nov. 19.
At that time, the Mount Joy Farmers Coop
is to indicate to Borough Council whether or
not it joins with the tobacco company in
asking for the closing of the alley or whether
it opposes the vacation.
Following receipt of that report, it is ex-
pected that council will take final action.
Whether that decision will be reached at a
special meeting or af the regular December
session on the 10th has not been determined.
At a special hearing on the vacation matter,
held Monday, Nov. 5, the Coop indicated that
there are important matters within its
organization which must be settled before any
stance on the vacation matter can be an-
nounced.
In its initial statement, the milk handling
organization asked that the hearing be
delayed but the proposal was voted down,
council balloting 4-4 on the request. President
Elmer Zerphey cast the deciding vote to
continue,
Several citizens appeared to protest the
vacation proposal, pointing to such problems
as hampered access, fire protection, safety
drainage, entrance and blocking of Alley A.
It was pointed out that P.P.&L. has heavy-
duty lines along the alley and that the
Borough Authority has a two-inch water
under the alley surface.
The matter of compensation to the borough
from the tobacco company for the laid was
raised. Attorneys, both for Lancaster Leaf
and for the borough, discussed legalities.
Although the question of actual sale of the
land is a possible legal entanglement, there
appears no question as to the propriety of
setting an appropriate figure for the public
improvements which have been made on the
land surfacing,

Steve Neal, Frank Brommer and
Jeff Duke took their cue from
Kauffman and a rugged defense
rose to the occasion and kept the
opponents off the scoreboard.
With little more than two
minutes remaining, Steve
Meszaros took a pitch-out from
Allan White and rambled into the
end zone on a 20 yard end sweep,
made possible by a terrific block
on the defensive end by Todd
Butz. The PAT failed, but the
Braves had a solid 12-0 victory.
The ““C’s” yielded only 6 points
during the entire season while
compiling a 8-0-2 record. The
coaching staff of Ed Jones, Bob
Smith, Ron Kennedy and Don
Armold can be justifiably proud
of “their boys.”
This ‘‘C” team became the
first Donegal team to capture a
divisional title. To that crown
was added the Red Rose League
