But against the jing a group of lettermen into a jfor the overall season. I In their last start both Young team, both offensively and If it's not one thing it's another, or at least that's the way it seems. Since the beginning of the season Canonsburg Coach Al DeLucia lias been worrying over the defense. But a determined line finally plugged the gaps, as seen in last wek's battle against jand Park netted around 150 yards, hitting an average of 11 and 10 yards per carry.

This and the exhibition before, when Young But the inexperienced Burgettstown backfield took most of the credit in breaking through the Right now the mid season slumping Bucs play an all important role in the tight National League pennant race between the Dodgers and the Braves. If the burst of wins keeps up the Dodgers will find their hopes jf successfully defending their NL title blasted into the past. But whether it's the Dodgers or the Braves the New York Yankees will be in the other corner. stallions the experienced back-field showed signs of wear. Knute Gallagher, George Lout-stion, and Joe Cleveland picked up the most yardage for the brown and gold clad eleven but each fumbled to take away some extra yardage.

Changing Backfield The one procedure still going for DeLucia is his changing back-field. Loutsion who started as quarterback last Friday switched into the fullback slot while Gal- i Stowe to help lessen the problem. Out of Action Pitt Panther guard, John Guzik, had his troubles multiplied after the West Virginia-Pitt humdinger. The former Cecil student had his arm broken and will be out for the rest of the season. While going to Cecil Guzik played on the Bulldogs squad and provided them with valuable service.

As it stands now Val Rizzo and his 1956 edition of the Bulldogs could use some of the assistance. js Jim Kirr took care of the quarterback chores hen Loutsion switched further back in the T. Though the Chartiers-Houston luccaneers don't have this advantage Guido Scartdn is relying in Tom Park and Norwood Young to again spearhead the attack against Burgettstown. The non-class battle ill be a test for the Buccos as both previous starts in the exhibition circle have added up to losses. But the Blue Devils have yet to win a game, either in the Class A or exhibition loops.

Nonetheless the Buccaneers have been bearing down on the drill field as a win here would balance their record at 2 and 2 In going into the weekend battles both the Bulldogs and the Rockets will be seeking their second win of the season. If they make the grade they will snap a two game losing streak and get back on the right track. Harry MeArdle's East Washington Ghosts host McDonald and will be trying to run their six-point season's total to more Friday afternoon. In three games the Ghosts have been able to pick up six points, being blanked in the first two clashes, and have been having a hard time of bringing an offense into being on the team. line to give the Buccos a preview of what to expect Friday night.

The Bulldogs, along with Rich Rizzardi's Hickory Rockets, have a unique problem confronting them. At the beginning of the season a host of returning letter-men gave hopes of a successful season. But as both have seen in the last two starts the host of experience hasn't helped, though it has kept them from being led the net yards gained department by a wider margin, brings Scarton's main trouble of finding a booster for the two. Park's performance took care of part this last week, when' the Bucs dumped Darlington '35-7) out of the Class race, but this week the story might be different. The hosting Blue Devils held the Cecil Bulldogs almost to a scoreless tie before bowing 7-0 in their opener.

Val Rizzo's. the Bulldog coach, has a job of build- With the surge taking care of what had caused the most concern the previous two weeks another part of the team began to crumble, the offense. Though ploughing through the Stowe line, the ball carriers found the pigskin hard' to hold against the Stallions grasping fingers. The running was smooth enough with the load being split up al- ilagher converted into a halfback berth. I The easily manipulated back-j field gave the Gunners a chance 'to run from almost every position Wrong League The runaway of the Yankees in the American League indicates that either the other teams are too weak, or the Yanks are in the wrong league.

But the third year's supposedly the charmed one and it might be that one of the other American League teams will be able to call a halt to the Yankees domination of the AL loop. The batting championship is still open as far as the race goes, with the Buccos Bill Virdon hanging on, despite the opposition from Manlte, Ted Wiliams and others. But otherwise the scene is in the process of the big shift.

Stuck crossed the tape first, posting the new course record of 10 minutes and 46 seconds. The triumph for the Gunner Given a reprieve by the 39-year old Maglie's 5-0, no-hit triumph, the Dodgers sent Newcombe against Robin Roberts and the Philadelphia Phillies today in an effort to sweep the two-game series and go back into a tie for the National League lead with the idle Milwaukee Braves. A loss would drop the Dodgers a full game behind the Braves with three games left for each.

Mickey Mantle's assult on Babe Ruth's record, which caused a great amount of stir in the baseball circles going into September, has all but disappeared.
