As Dukes Win, 14-0 Fullback Closes College Career With 108 Points for Year In Rough Scrap Against Catholic U. Filingham Races 36 Yards for Touchdown It was the wirining touchdown, if you please, the touchdown that defeated the Soldier men, 12 to 6, By PAUL KURTZ For the second consecutive year, the North Braddock Scott High School "Purple Raiders" are the Class A champions of the Western Pennsylvania Inter-scholastic Athletic League. The Scotts eked out a 6 to 0 triumph over Ambridge High yesterday at the Pitt Stadium in their post-season championship match.

That one touchdown and it was difficult to attain was the margin or supremacy or the Purple Raiders over the Bridgetowners. Scott Had Power Although Scott had power aplenty in the ball-toting of its halfbacks, Captain Johnny Gross and Elmer Bache. the Bridgetowners threw up a defense which struggled on an Interesting basis with the highly-touted North Braddock club. While power lent some aid in the six-point victory, the aerial fling which Johnny Gross unleashed early in the last quarter was a vital factor in the touchdown drive. The fourth period had not been under way long, when the Purple Raiders rushed for a first down to the Am and erased from the minds of Notre Dame the gloom of three previous reversals.

Quarterback Joe Gates of the Dukes, already crowd of 1934 from coast to coast stood on tiptoe and screamed hysterically, Hanley jumped half his length to bring down a pass from Andy Pilney and threaded his way through frantic Army arms to tumble into the corner of the end zone. Typical Irish-Army Battle It broke a tie which had prevailed from the opening minute of the second quarter when the Army overcame a six-point lead set up by the Irish in the first period, and handsomely climaxed a game which, for its fierceness and stark courage, could not but have matched any played this fall.

Neither eleven was driven by the thought that the road it would take would lead to a championship; thrice Notre Dame had been beaten and the Army's measure was taken by Illinois, but all that was forgotten as two bruising rushlines literally hacked each other to pieces. It was the men up front who dominated the battle, and so completely that the Army's great Jack Buckler and Shakespeare, Pilney, Elser and the rest of the Irish back-field men were almost lost sight of. Notre Dame made only six first downs and the Army three, which gives an idea how tightly the forwards kept on the handcuffs. The yardage from rushing and passes was approximately 160 for the Ramblers, 120 for their opponents. It came close to representing the margin between them.
