The Game In Short Hazleton got under way fast as Cheverke touted in four consecutive two-pointers. Smith and Prokopie added dueces to give H. H. S. a 12-0 lead at the end of the initial period.

The Mountaineers kept going in the second quarter, and with Korbich and Boden making fouls, Shamokin trailed at half time, 21-2. The Blue and White cagers out-scored Shamokin 7 to 2 in the third period to lead 28-4 going into the last canto. Davis, sub guard for Shamokin, grabbed a free ball midway in the last quarter and stuck up the Greyhounds lone two-pointer, and as the game drew to a close Hazleton High replacements took over for the Blue and White.

Cheverko Repeats Scoring Feat Again it was George Cheverko who led the Blue and White team to victory. As in last week's game, he scored 17 points for the evening, making many excellent shots. Cheverko defeated the Shamokin-Ites himself in the first three minutes of play in which he scored the first four field goals of the game to give his team an 8-0 lead. As the game went on he continued to throw them in from all angles, much to the dismay of the Greyhounds, who seemed to be unable to do anything about it.

Andrejco, Prokopic, Help Out Joey Andrejco and Captain "Ossie" Prokopic turned in a great Job for the McGechanmen, each having a gala night of it at passing and floor work.

By RUSSELL J. NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16. (IP) After 44 years of football coaching, from the gay nineties to the goofy thirties of this century, Glenn Scobcy Warner has come to the conclusion it would be a "fine thing" if athletes could be given financial assistance, openly and above board, He explained hastily, however, he refused to be the Moses who would try to lead the gridiron forces out of the wilderness. "I'm tired of sticking my neck out for opponents to take a crack at," drawled who is wintering at his Palo Alto home, after completing his sixth year at Temple University.

"The idea of subsidizing football players openly, instead of beating around the bush, is as old as the hills," he said. "Such matters usually eventually work out the way the public feels about them. The popular opinion now seems to be that the boys ought this matching of natural rivals.

The local reserves were far too powerful for the visitors, taking an early lead and much as they pleased.

Molinaro and Billy Smith were the big guns for the H. H. S. team. Molinaro tallied 14 points, while Smith came through with 10 points before he was injured and forced to leave the game in the third period.

Others use disbursements from the athletic fund. "You can figure this problem from top to bottom, stand it on its head or run it through a meat grinder and get the same answer football always has had and always will have its quota of players who need financial assistance. They most always get it. That's why the idea of an agreement as universal as possible would appeal to me."
