But-the Bethlehem drive, carrying into the opening minutes of the last quarter, lacked the punch that pays off. The Liberty eleven reached the Mountaineers 15-yard line for a first down.

Four plays later they were forced to surrender the ball to the locals; and that's the tip-off as to how the Mountainees wre battering their foes into compliance all through the lat two periods. Two More Scores. After that, Derrico's fumble of a kick to enable Sotack to recover ou the locals' 35-yard line was unfortunate, but not tragic, as the Bethlehem cause was apparently a lost one. It set the stage, however, for the third score, Andrejco, Cheverko, and Chovanes driving through the tiring Blue and Red de. Slopped for three periods by a valiant Fordham team.

H. S. leaders have been hoping for can be set up Let's hope that that PWA request goes through In view of the size of the crowd, it was well-handled by the corps of special policemen; and, in tribute to Bethlehem, there wa no disorder Apparently, the fans knew what to expect; for they were at the stadium before noon; and the stands were well-loaded an hour before game time Red and Blue bedecked cars were parkd for blocks and blocks around the stadium Bethlehem men on the sidelines estimated that between three and four thousand were on hand from the Steel City alone In the face of scattered criticism of the reserved seats plan during last week, it can be reported that the idea worked to perfection and will be continued Fans who were willing to pay the extra charge have said that they were well satisfied And the II.

(F)Re. morseful John Barnini of the Provi. dence College football team was in bewildered as anyone else today by his blind lap from the bench to tackle Xavler University's quarter, back, Tom Hogan, on a touchdown run. The Providence center wandered around the clubhouse afterward at if the world had caved In on him.

He made no alibi. He only asked "why did this have to happen to me? All I can say is that I'm awfully sorry." When the "twelfth man" Incident occurred yesterday, Providence had passed ten yards to a touchdown, but the officials called the ball back because of fighting between Bar. nini and Irv Slattery, Xavier end. Both were ejected. On the next play Hogan inter, cepted a pass and was in the clear at the 45-yard lino when he was stop, ped by Barnini, who forgot he was out of the game.

Officials gave the touchdown to Xavier. The Musketeers then went ahead to win, 33 to 7, before 12,000 fans. Coach Hugh Devote of Providence concurred and said, "it was one of those things that can happen in any game featured by keen rivalry." Football Scores. SCHOLASTIC. Big 15.

(By The Associated Press) Pennsylvania's high school football teams moved into the home stretch of their schedules today with the outcome of most conference races depending upon the results of November campaigning.

Only in the Western Pennsylvania Conference did the issue seem settled. There, undefeated and untied Ferndale apparently is "in" as champion, and Windber, 1937 title-holder, as runner-up. Ferndale defeated Ebensburg, 13-7, for its ninth victory in as many games this season over the week-end and now ranks 75 points ahead of Windber, winner over Curwensville, 8-7, in the unofficial standings. Ferndale can lose its remaining two conference games and still finish ahead of Windber or the next three games, Hollidaysburg, Curwensville and Westmont. Hazleton Tops.

Hazleton's smashing 32-6 triumph over Bethlehem Saturday produced the major conference leadership change. The victory elevated the undefeated Mountaineers to the top of the Big Fifteen Conference and dropped Bethlehem from first to third place. In other Big Fifteen Conference games, Allentown defeated Harrisburg John Harris, 7-0, Reading trounced Lancaster 33 to 0, Steelton defeated Shamokin 10 to 0, and Easton won its first league game, beating Lebanon 20 to 12. Jessup, nominal leader of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, suffered a surprise 7-6 setback at the hands of Dickson City but held fast to its second place position, behind West Hazleton, which has won its only conference start. West Hazleton defeated Hazle Township in a non-conference game Friday night.

Why Don't They Try H. H. S. Mountaineers? (Shamokin News-Dispatch.) Williamsport High contends they cannot arrange grid games with Bethlehem, Allentown and Easton because these schools are afraid of Art Pursell, the Millionaires' coach. While at Pbillipsburg, Art Pursell's team thumped Bethlehem, Allentown and Easton practically every year.

Billtown 'sports scribes suggest a game be arranged with Shamokin in future seasons. BOB PASTOR VS. BRACKEY 10-ROUND BOUT TONIGHT NEW YORK, Oct. 31. For whatever it's worth, Bob Pastor puts his New York state heavyweight title on the block when he meets Big Boy Brackey of Buffalo in a ten round bout tonight.

It is Pastor's first fight in several months. He was slated to meet Gunnar Barlund in September but cut himself with an axe during his training work and the bout was called off.

And, as the skies grew darker, Bethlehem's last big try, a desperate forward-passing attack with the score 26-6, ended on the same note, when Andrejco, again Andrejco, leaped up for an interception and raced 37 yards for the final Mountaineer score of the day.

Now, the Mountaineers' two final hurdles to the title, Shamokin and Pottsville, will prove tougher than ever; and the chances for the first undefeated season in II.

H. S. gridiron history will face desperate "long shot" attempts at glory by the Pig 15 teams and West Hazleton. Near Perfection. However, as the Mountaineers, scorning the rest usually believed to be part of the spoils of victory, today went right to work on their Saturday date with Shamokin, many impartial observers who saw them ride Bethlehem hopes into the cleat- marked turf of Harman-Gcist Sta dium by a 32-6 score believed that the charges of Coach Stan Oleniczak hit a degree of near-perfection Saturday that is sufficient to turn back the best that scholastic football has to offer anywhere.

The similarity of Hazleton High in scholastic football to Pitt in collegiate ranks, first born because of the fact that Coaches Stan Oleniczak and Paul Shaw are from Titt, becomes more and more evident as the same type of powerhouse play brings lop-sided victories. Right From Start Saturday, Pitt itself had to bank on a last-quarter rally to beat Fordham; but Hazleton High used the typical Pitt tactics of bludgeoning the opponent into submission right from the start and then riding on complacently to the kill. The 7,000 who jammed into every nook and cranny of Harman-Geist to set up the largest paid attendance for any sports event in Hazleton's history saw instead of the close, thrilling battle they had expected, a 13-0 Hazleton margin at the end of the first quarter and a 19-6 Hazleton advantage at the half that was enough to win the game then and there. Hazleton fans who had read all last week of Bethlehem's might asked with good reason "How The answer is not that Bethlehem was over-rated but that any team in its class would have looked the same against Hazleton High on that particular day. All Factors.

To say that any one player or department of play brought about so startling a Mountaineer triumph misses the point entirely. It's the very unity of effort, co-ordination, and timing that makes juggernauts such as this devastating horde in the Blue and the White of old Hazleton High; and it takes eleven men, acting like cogs in a great machine, to give you that. A stout-hearted, alert, fast-charging line, plays that sweep all before them with the aid of perfect blocking, and swivel-hipped, unstoppable backB like Andrej-co, Chovanes and Cheverko are the "Big Three" of such victories; they just have to seen to be appreciated. And Yet Andrejco. Even with the realization of all this, the shining figure of one Joey Andrejco still towers above the great work of all his mates.

Like any back, Joey needs linemen to open the holes, he needs blockers down-field, and he's just a cog in many plays. But it cannot be denied that once in the secondary, particularly on those vicious Mountaineer end sweeps, he displays a brand of dy namic broken field running that even now is enough to label him among the greatest ball carriers this region has ever produced. When you add to his magnificence a similar type of running style by Big George Chever ko and the bruising line-plunging of Chovanes, you can understand why Bethlehem's morale was shattered almost from the outset. Main Factor. Looking back on the game from the clearer view of a quiet Monday morning that is in striking contrast to the color and the pageantry of the game and the crowd, it appears that Andrejco's twisting, weaving 65-yard gallop fifty seconds after Bethlehem had scored its lone touchdown was the deciding point of the game.

Showing the same type of spirit that has made Bethlehem teams feared opponents of H. H. S. in basketball for the past decade, the Liberty boys came back from the searing 13-0 11. H.

S. lead of what was to them a nightmarish first quarter to pull a picture play, a pretty double-lateral, Achey to McWilliams to Richter, that found the latter gallopping 62 yards to touchdown-land almost without opposition. That must have lifted those Bethlehem spirits, -given them new resolve, to give this apparently invincible Hazleton team a fight of it. But the ease with which Andrejco made that run and the perfect blocking that accompanied it made their exultation only momentary. They didn't know it; but they were finished then and there.

No More Punch. There was a second half, to be sure. There was even a somewhat half-hearted Bethlehem advance after Korpics, a good end for any M'Adoo Still In Running For Mountain Conference Crown That Martian raid in New Jersey described over the radio last night proved to be fiction but the air raid the Hazleton Redskins staged at Cranberry Park yesterday afternoon to crush the Wilkes-Barre Panth ers, 32-2 in an Eastern Pro-Football League game was very real as some 1500 fans will testify. Their ground plays stopped by the visitors line, probably the heaviest in the Eastern Leagup: Hazleton took to the air and with Sunshine Campbell tossing the "bombs" to Jim Ab-bitt and Mike Roman, the Redskins amassed a total of 287 yards by passes and scored all five touchdowns in this manner as they continued on their drive toward the league's first year championship. Two Hurt In Battle.

The game was marked by all the intense rivalry which has made Haz-leton-Wilkes-Barre athletic classics for many years and twice the bitter feeling between the teams resulted in fights. Dry, Wilkes-Barre halfback and Nick Castura, Hazleton end, came to blows just as the first half ended and both were banished while as the game neared its end Rovinski and Curry squared off. Sunshine Campbell was injured in the first half but came back to play the entire last two periods and Tony Sala, Panthers' brilliant end and captain, was forced to retire in the got a look at his reserves and 1939 prospects; but, even with the varsity out, the Freeland eleven was out-scored by two touchdowns to one.

Ten will be played in the league and the non-league opponents so far booked are Lansford, Summit Hill and Mahanoy City. Two games will be played with each. Then the Alumni game will be played as usual between the Christmas holidays. And two games will no doubt be booked with St. Jerome's.

The full schedule will be announced next week, it was said at the school today.

After a succession of ground plays proved of no avail, Hazleton started its aerial attack and scored early in the first period. Campbell heaved a forward to Martincc to advance from the Redskins 28 yard line to the Panthers 46 and then a pass to Mike Roman brought the hall to the 18 yard stripe.

Again Roman was on the receiving end of a long forward and crossed the goal line with three tacklers hanging on. Sperida kicked the extra point. Both teams played tight defensive ball in the second period and there were no scores but the Punthers showed signs of becoming a real threat which on the opening kickoff of the second half, Sala tackled Sperida behind the Redskins goal for a safety. Visitors Lose Chance. Kicking off from their 20 yard line, Hazleton was in danger for the first time when Sperida did not get much distance and it was the Panthers' ball on the Redskins 35 yard line.

Hazleton held tight for three plays and then Jim Abbitt put an i end to the visitors threat by intercepting a forward pass. On the first play Campbell passed to Roman who after a long gain luteraled to Eddie Kahn as the tacklers closed in and the Hazleton playing coach reached the Wilkes-Barre 30 yard stripe. Jim Abbitt then scored on a pass from Campbell, Sperida missing a try for the extra point. Three In Fourth Period. As the third quarter neared its cend, Wilkes-Barre tried a field goal and failed, Hazleton taking the ball on its own 25 yard line.

Two passes from Campbell, one to Roman and the other to Martinec brought the Redskins up. to the visitors 30 yard stripe as the fourth quarter started. On the first play Campbell's accurate toss to Abbitt sent the sensational Hazleton halfback over the goal for another touchdown, Sperida then kicking the point. The locals then turned the game into a rout when Abbitt intercepted a Wilkes-Barre forward and a heave from Campbell to Roman brought Hazleton to their opponents one yard line and another pass to Abbitt netted a touchdown. Again the Campbell to Abbitt combination clicked and shortly before the game ended a forward netted 40 yards and a touchdown.

At Reading Sunday. Next Sunday Hazleton will have an opportunity to practically clinch the pennant when they play the Reading Rams at Reading. The game scheduled yesterday between Scranton and Reading wai postponed and will be played off ear. ly in November. Statistics.

McAdoo's leaders left early this morning to press the charges that Benny Rockovich, West Hazleton captain and offensive star, is playing his fifth season of scholastic football. West Hazleton High also shoved off for the hearing, stating they are convinced the charges by McAdoo and Hazle Township are in error. Beat M. and M. I.

McAdoo, with an early season defeat at the hands of West Hazleton, the only blotch on an otherwise undefeated and untied conference record to date, made certain it would be right in line for the title by swamping M. and M. I. before 400 at St. Michael's Park in McAdoo Saturday, 38-6.
