East Mauch Chunk also stayed in the race with a 61-27 triumph over Weatherly and Lou Bertoldi's Rock Glen Rockets mauled Ringtown 69-38.

Big Ken Singley was the key man in the Bergers attack at White Haven and accounted for 20 of his team's points. In the game at Mauch Chunk, Joe Wileman's boys trailed 18-4 at the end of the first period and were never a threat to the fast-stepping Chunkers, now edging themselves dangerously into the pennant fight. Rock Glen players had a "field night" at the expense of their visitors and led by Enama, Chyko and Martini, who had 42 points among themselves, got off to a 21-4 lead in the first period. It was 40-13 at the half and 54-24 when the third quarter ended. The league now looks forward to Thursday night when Nuremberg and St, Ann's clash at Nuremberg in a game which marks the first meeting of two high-ranking clubs.

12. JP) Pennsylvania's high school athletic program was viewed today as saved "from complete collapse" by an OPA ruling granting some leeway in transporting athletes to contests. Edmund Wicht, secretary of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, made the statement yesterday after the OPA ruled "where the principal or any other school official is required as part of his duties to attend the games, that shall be considered occupational driving." Wicht said he believed the OPA ruling, made by the Philadelphia office, meant certified officials can transport team members to games. He said the faculty athletic director various persons concern from time to time, but it finally has fired at least one man to action.

Previously, in Washington an OPA spokesman had said high school coaches and school officials, may use their automobiles to take team members to contests. The PIAA had sought a ruling from OPA after it had first appeared the recent pleasure driving ban might hinder schools from carrying on athletic programs, basketball being especially affected at this season.

"This ruling," commented Wicht, "has saved the interscholastic athletic program from a complete collapse and in view of that fact the PIAA will request all schools to confine transportation of athletes to a minimum number and, by all means, exclude spectators from accompanying school officials to all games."

To be elected a player must have completed his active career and must poll 75 per cent of the total votes cast. The last man elected was Rogers Hornsby in the spring of 1942, Perhaps when another election is suggested by the baseball writers they will fill the third base vacancy maybe with two men.
