Quakertown and Springfield finished in that order.

As was expected the defensive might of the Blue and Gray was strongly felt from the outset. Every scoring try of the Quakers was stymied.

When the smoke had cleared, the six had bagged sixteen rabbits, three cockbirds, and missed as many in the nielee Who said there, was no game around? Have you noticed the red Daint sulattered on the street in front of the Sell-Perk high The Bux-Mont Scholastic Con- ference, at its Winter meeting at ftouuerton Legion 'Home, Thursday night voted to permit member schools to send football teams to out-of-town camps for pre-season training. Nine schools voted to allow football squads to attend camp, Sell-ersville-l'erkasie giving the only dissenting'vote.

The decision means that there will be no change in the present set-up. The camp question was brought before the meeting by Kobcrt Am-bacher, a -member of the Sellers-ville-Peikasie Board of Education. In explaining his stand on pre-season training, Mr. Anmacher said he did not wish to prevent schools from sending squads to camp, but that he felt all schools should he on the same basis as regards to training camps. He said Sellers-ville-Perkasie football fans are prepared to raise funds to send the school squad to camp if the league favors the program.

In discussing the matter, John Meyers, Ambler, who was the first to send a team to camp, said every boy on his team pays his own way, that they are not sent by the school. He pointed out that a training camp does much toward building morale, spirit and a feeling of comradeship among the squad members. Coach Warren Gockley, of Springfield, who sent his boys to camp, said there was nothing that can he done at camp that can't be done at home, lie also stated that if the league rules against training camps Springfield might oppose night football. His team pays its own way, also, he explained. Several coaches felt that if train ing camps are restricted, other restrictions will come up in an attempt to equalize the teams.

Positive balance was impossible, they decided, and since there is no P. I. A.A. ruling against camps, and since camps are desirable for-every boy whether on a football team oj-not, no action should be taken to prevent a squad from going. Following the discussion and the vote, Herman L.

Bishop, principal of Lansdale High School, who attends the meetings occasionally, commended the group on the democratic way the men discussed the matter. The Bux-Mont interscholastic track meet will be held at Lansdale, the league decided. Bishop offered the facilities at the school for the meet. It was held at Quak-ertown last year. A new constitution was read at the meeting by Melvin iF.

Floyd F.isenhart. the other son, made his debut as roach at Souderton a successful one. Both Kisenhart boys are graduates of Scllersville-Perkasie high school. Both graduated from Juniata College. While in school they were both athletic stars in football, baseball and basketball.

That is proven by the records of the past 16 years in Bux-tMont scholastic fotball.

Many followers in the late years groan at the for-tunes of the Sellersville-Perkasie grid machine's, but prior to the- machinations instituted by some schools, the Blue and Gray under B. Earl Druckenmiller marched to three league titles. This places the Consolidated school in a select class. It also places Druckenmiller in a select circle. For there is not one other coach in conference history that can point to clear title to three crowns.

Johnny Meyers at Ambler has won two and shared another on a three-way basis. -Heber Meyers, his predecessor in the land of the Mighty Trojans, also won two diadems but shared the other. Druckenmiller's successes were in J932 and 1933 when the Twin Towners went unbeaten over a two year span. Then in 1336 the Steelers clinched the crown for the third time. 'Since1 then the teams- have not seri ously threatened.

Ambler High School leads tn championships won, having taken clear title to four erowns and shared in three others. Springfield has won three titles of the "undisputed" variety and has had a share of two others. Sell-Perk, although not having won since 1036, has captured three championships. Lansdale netted its only outright title in 1037, shared honors with Ambler in and wound up in a three-way tie for the crown with Ambler and Springfield in 1045. By winning twenty-four consecutive Bux-Mont games since its last defeat (at the hands nf Lansdale, on October 5, 1045), Ambler High has hiked its all-time winning per-' rentage from .650, at the end of the 1044 season, to .728.
