First Win hi Lone Time vWe won onel" 'That'waa the cry of tlie Indiana High School students over the week-end as their men-of-lhe-gr id-Iron Anally won their first contest hi J-two long very long seasons. -Outplaying their adversaries at every turn, the "Little Indians" defeated their most friendly opponents from Westmont-Upper Yoder Township High of suburban Johnstown, -18 to 7, in the season's final or both and in ths play-off of last months half game," caused by the failure ofra portable lighting system. Not since October 21, 1930.

when IHS upset BlairsviUe, 7-0. in the only victory of that term have the locals won a game. Last year the County Seatera lost seven and tied one; this yeur's totals show one victory, three losses and three lies. Played under the seasou's best weather conditions and before a mediocre gathering. Saturday's contest was a good indication of what may be expected next year as only Captain Bill McGinnis, outstanding linesman all season, Beefy Smith and Joe Donnelly graduate, leaving Coach Leech plenty of material and "beef," for the campaign.

It was a pleasant farewell- to- these three gridders, all three of whom starred in the season's finish. It was Indiana's second win against three losses in the 5-ycar-old Indiana-Westmont series. It was Westmont's fifth straight loss after winning the season's opener from Myersdale (lost to Ferndalc, Ebens-ourg. Somerset and DuBois). Fallen Tallies First After losing the ball on.

Taking the bull on their own 42 after a return punt, the Leechmcn traveled to the Wnlmnnl 1n ina fj" first downs. On the third down and five to go, Molsko reversed to Lieb and the latter pitched a strike into the waiting arms of Dick Fulton in the end zone and then Indiana fans went wildl Fulton's ptaceemnt for the extra point was mide. This lead was all that was needed for a rejuvenated Indiana team as on the firth play of the second half Booty McGinnis blocked Quinn's punt, scooped up the bail on the first bounce and raced 39 yards for the second touchdown. Fulton's placement try was blocked.

Mulska Rams Over Later in this same period the locals were seen oh another march. Taking a punt oul-of-bounds on the Westmont 4u, the locals rushed their way to the 11 on ten plays and two stick movements, featuring Jimmy Smith's 21-yard run for a kick for- i motion. On the fourth down and two ycrds to go, Andy Motsko. sharing nonors with a fellow townsman, McGinnis of Ernest, raced off right tackle and swept wide around the side for a touchdown. Fry's placement boot was low.

Both Coaches Engh and Leech substituted freely at this point. Westmont took the kick-off and advanced to the Indiana 22 where the Hilltoppers were forced to punt Indiana took the bool on the 11 and advanced to the Cambria Coun-tians' 29 on four first, downs before the County Seaters were stopped and held for downs. Late in this fourth period Jim Smith was set to punt on the fourth down but the pass from a reserve center was away too low. Smitty was unable to get off the boot and decided to run it but was nabbed on the Indiana 18. After two plays lost seven yards, Quinn faded back to pass but, upon seeing no potential receiver, he cut to the right and raced 25 yards for the only visiting tally.

25 to 6 Rolling up 14 first downs to the opposition's tour, the Armagh-East Wheatlleld Township High School gridders drubbed the Pine Town-High footballers, 25-6, on the Heilwood field Saturday afternoon. The visitors scored in the flrst three periods, while the home team registered the final heat Armagh had the ball on the opponents' six-yard line when the contest ended. A forward-lateral provided the first score as Neff shot a short pass to Patrick and the latter tossed the ball backward to Busony who raced the remaining 30 yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter the visitors tallied twice: first, they drove 40 yards with Franklin going over from close quarters: Holupka intercepted a pass' and raced half the distance of the field to tally. The Aikeymen drove 60 yards tor their final six-pointer with Holupka racing around the right side for the final six yards.

Nov. 24 (P) New leaders" head three of the state's major high school football conferences today, but the margins of two are so smull that they faced the possibility of being ousted from first place in Thursday's holiday windups. The closest races are tn the Western Pennsylvania, and Wyoming Valley conferences. Lock Haven, picking up 10 points through a 32-6 victory for Lewistowu. a team It defeated earlier in the season, over Fern- dale, forged five points ahead of Tyrone in the western race.

Both teams stand to profit trom Thanksgiving Day games played by their beaten opponents but Tyrone can collect 20 points to 10 for Lock Haven, a margin that would give it the lead. Unoificial standings of the two leaders: W. L. T. Pis.

The Blue Devils took over the lead by branding the former leader, Blythe Township, a 32-7 lacing in scoring their eighth straight victory of the season.

Bears-Packers In Possible Deadlock; Giants Win Title CHICAGO, Nov. 24 P) The Ch icugo Bears and reen Bay Packers apparently are headed straight for a deadlock for the western division title in the Na tional Football League and that would mean a playoff with lots of jingles tn the cash register but headaches for the coaches of the teams concerned. The New York Giants clinched he eastern crown by beating Washington yesterday 20-13- If the Packers; ease past Wash ington next tun(iHy, and if the Bears Philadelphia this week and the Chicago Cardinals on Dec. 7, they will lie for west- em sectional honors and will have io meet for a third time this season on Dec.

14. The date tentatively set for the titular showdown between Uie champs of east and west. The Bears were the only team to beat the Packers this year (25-17 on September 28 and the Packers were the only outfit to van quish the Bears (1 -14 on Nov. 2. A third engagement should be a box office wow.

But Coaches Gen.
