The Sportfr i 10 'TINY PARRY The scrambled Central Pennsy prepared for, York this week, Scholastic Football Conference picture changed slightly over the last weekend as one more team (Williamsport) dropped into. the twice-beaten class. Tigers Stay Unbeaten The William Penn Tigers who started late but quickly made their presence known, added a third straight win to their record as the loop's lone unbeaten team in conference play. What's more, they stamped themselves as definite contenders, and to a number of close observers as "the (earn to beat this year," by their all-around play in rallying to rout Lebanon's Cedars, 27-7. The size of the score doesn't necessarily indicate that the game was a romp, as the Cedars were anything but pushovers and for a time actually threw a scare into the favored Tigers who probably remembered the Lebanon upset of York only a few weeks back.

The Tigers definitely hurdled an obstacle in coming back to trample the Cedars, and are glad that one's over, too, make mistake on that score. Not Out Of Woods They still top the standings, of course, with that 3-6 card, but are by no means out of the woods. Note, for instance, that they must take on the York Bearcats this very week at Harrisburg, and also remember that the Yorkers can still be considered in the running, despite a 2-2 conference record. They bounced back from two successive losses with a 33-26 win at Reading last week, and would like nothing more than surprising William Penn's favored and unbeaten league leaders this week. A win for the Tigers would certainly send the Penn stocks soaring, but even then they have tough sledding ahead.

Following the York game this week, the Tigers must still travel to Williamsport the following week before taking on Reading's Red Knights at home, and then winding up with John Harris at Hershey on Turkey Day. Could Be "Big" Game That intra-city meeting between the Tigers and the Pioneers at the Hershey Stadium is still a long way off, but there are some observers already looking ahead to that encounter as the game that may either decide or tie up the conference title this year. Williamsport, of course, can still have something to say about that little item, provided they get past Lebanon's Cedars here on Friday night. That, in itself is no matter to be taken lightly, even though the Millionaires will come here as ocldson favorites. The fact that Williamsport may be looking ahead a week to the home game with William Penn might react in Lebanon's favor, but it probably can safely be assumed that Tom Vargo isn't taking the Cedars too lightly this week.

By the same token, the Tigers may do well to be and not he looking too far ahead to (he Billport game. In other xvords, it may well pay both teams to follow the policy of first things first, and play one game at a time. Defending Champs Are Alive Since Lancaster's defending champions are not to be completely counted out as yet with a 2-2 record, it- might be well to keep the Red Tornado in mind in attempting to size up the conference outlook for the balance of the campaign. They too, have bounced 'back from successive losses to William Penn and Williamsport to scramble back into the win column with that win over Steelton last week. Their future outlook isn't exactly a rosy one, however, since their last home game is coming up with Reading on Saturday.

They then hit the road for engagements with John Harris and York in winding up their conference campaign, and in order to remain in the running, even that long, will depend upon some upsets involving the rest of the five teams that might still be considered in contention. That, of course, includes all the teams with not more than two losses. Pioneers Can Look On The John Harris Pioneers can't be counted out, by any means, especially since they sport a 3-1 record, and only last week came up with a BIG 26-21 win over Williamsport. That victory boosted the Pioneer stocks into the stratosphere, and for the time being they can sit back comfortably and hope for developments in their favor this week. They play at Bethlehem in a non-league game before returning to the conference wars the following week with Lancaster at home.

They also have a road engagement at Steelton coming up before that annual clash with William Penn at Hershey which may well have the league title riding on the outcome. Bearcats Have Chance Since York's Bearcats are also mathematically in the running with a 2-2 record, and that big chance coming up on Saturday, it might be of interest to note that the Bearcats then wind up their league campaign at home with Steelton and then Lancaster in that order. Depending upon what happens this week, that Lancaster game in the annual Battle of the Roses may also turn out to be a big one in the Central Penn campaign. No matter from which direction you view the situation, it still looms up as a scramble that could carry on for the next few weeks, and could even go down to the very wire before a winner can be declared. Even then, it isn't necessarily a certainty since it is still possible for a deadlock even at the finish.

Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Page 20 Lebanon Daily News, October 30, 1958 Lebanon Cedars Appear Ready For Williamsport Although three first-stringers all several days of practice this week because of colds, Lebanon's Cedars appear to be ready for their Central Penn Conference game with Williamsport at the LHS Stadium tomorrow night. a Hank Schmalzer has been juggling his first-string backfield in workouts this week because Bob Wentzel, his leading ground- gaining scatback, Irv Rhode, first-string fullback, and Bob Scheer, his punter and placement kicker, have missed drills. Wentzel, however, returned to school Wednesday in time to rejoin the squad and will be ready for fulltime duty against the Billport Millionaires. Scheer and Rhode, however, haye been confined to their homes for several days, and their return in time for the game is problematical, even doubtful. In the meantime, the Cedar mentor has been grooming both Fred Holler, a regular on defense mostly, and Lew Weddle, the burly, hard-hitting sophomore, and will probably alternate them at that spot.

Visitors Will Run Since the visiting Millionaires are known to be a fast team that depends mainly on the running game from the and split- formations, Coach Schmalzer has been making an effort to bolster his defense against that style of attack this week. The Millionaires' flash a speedy running attack sparked by Jim Girardi, a returning 32-21 Tom Lentz scored three touchdowns and added a pair of extra points, but his brilliant individual effort wasn't enough and Henry Houck bowed to John Reynolds, of Lancaster, by a 32-21 score here yesterday -afternoon. This was only the second game in which the Golden Eagles scored and the 21 points represented their best production in six games that were lost. Two intercepted passes early in the fourth period clinched the victory for the heavier and favored visitors who found themselves trailing, 14-13, at one stage of the third quarter. But before the close of the third period the Lancaster club drove 55 yards for one six-pointer, and then took a comfortable lead with two more TDs by capitalizing on pass interceptions in the final stanza.

After a scoreless first period Earl Suter went over from the one in the second quarter to climax a 74-yard march for Reynolds. Dave Morrison rushed for the extra point. The scrappy Northsiders, who played their best game of the season, came right back with a sustained drive of their own that covered 60 yards, with Lentz going through right tackle for the last three. During this drive Lentz caught two passes good for 28 yards and threw one to Charles Wise that accounted for another 17 yards. He also passed to Bob McCue for the extra point that tied the score at seven-all.

It took Reynolds only three plays to get a TD following the second half kickoff. John West, a 180-pounder, broke loose for 46 yards through the middle for the six-pointer. Four plays later Lentz equalized things with a beautiful 45- yard touchdown jaunt that saw him elude several tacklers. He drove through right tackle for Win Over Chambersburg A "Must" For Hers Hershey High's hopes and dreams for a South Penn Conference title were rudely shattered last week by Gettysburg, but the Chocolate Town Trojans may not be altogether out of the running as yet, even with a 2-2 league record. Their glim remaining chances Brennan Should Have Been Taken At His Word SOUTH BEND, Ind.

Coach Terry Brennan of Notre Dame's football team should have been taken at his word when he said before the season "we're not as good as everybody thinks we are." The battered Irish go against Navy at Baltimore Saturday with a 3-2 record. Pegged by many in preseason reckonings as the team to beat, the Irish now are not even among the top 20 in the AP weekly poll. Even in victory, Notre Dame has had to fuss furiously. It opened with an 18-0 verdict over weak Indiana, but led only 6-0 until the final 7 minutes. They had a close call over Southern Methodist, 14-6, and came from behind to vanquish Duke 9-7.

Army defeated Notre Dame 14-2, but the Irish were mauled by Pistol Pete Dawkins and Bob Anderson more than the score indicated. Last Saturday the Irish finished courageously; but still lost to Purdue 29-22. Before the season opened, Brennan observed: "We are slow up front. Our depth is not a solid two-deep. And, finally, we have to have a lot of breaks, escaping injury and getting the right of the ball." Certainly they have not escaped injury.

Fullback Nick Pietrosante, guard Al Ecuyer, center Bob Scholtz, halfback Jim Crotty, quarterback Bob Williams and guard Jim Schaaf have spent costly time on the bench due to ailments. As for the right of the ball, Notre Dame has fumbled 23 times and lost the ball 13 times in 5 games. For all of last season they had only 28 fumbles and lost the ball times. of staying in contention will depend entirely, however, upon their Friday night game at Chambersburg. These longtime rivals have long been keen contenders for conference honors, and the coming game is no exception on tha score.

Chambersburg, however, is in better position to stay on as a contender with a 3-1 record in league play, and at the moment sole runnersup to Carlisle's unbeaten (4-0) Thundering Herd. A win for Hershey will keep the Trojans within striking distance of the leaders, and would elevate them into a tie with Chambers- Sf, Louis Hawks Lead NBA Wesfern Division United Press International Like water seeking its own level, (he St. Louis Hawks today moved back to an old familiar spot at the top of the Western Division of the National Basketball Association. Bob Pettit paced last season's champions to the front Wednesday night as he dunked in 37 points to help throttle the Minneapolis Lakers, 112 100, in the only league action. The Hawks dominated play, trailing only twice, 59:57 and 8078.

Cliff Hagan with 21 points and Slater Martin with 19 supported Pettit in the Hawk cause. Elgin Baylor, Dick Carmaker and Bob Leonard each had 13 to top the Laker scoring.

Carlisle's leaders, in the meanwhile, will play a non-league game with Harrisburg Catholic this week and will retain their lofty perch atop the ladder under any conditions. Coach Frank Kamus, openly disappointed with his team's below- par showing in last week's upset loss at Gettysburg, has been putting the pressure on in this week's drills in an effort to bring his team back to the early season form that showed so much promise. "Do Or Die" He has warned them that their Friday night game at Chambersburg will be their last chance to keep title hopes alive in their final season in the South Penn Conference, as the Trojans will henceforth compete in the recently formed Capital Area Football Conference, starting with a number of "unofficial" games for next year.

In brief, the Hershey mentor has bluntly told his charges that the coming game is a "do or die" affair so far as conference chances are concerned. PIAA Cross-Counlry Run Af Penn Slate Saturday Pennsylvania State University will be ahe site of the 19th annual PIAA state cross-country championships on Saturday, November 1. One-hundred and ninety-seven individuals, representing 48 different schools and 18 full teams will compete for the 1958 title over a two and one-eighth mile course. "Mt. Lebanon High School (District 7) returns as defending champion.

Canonsburg (7) placed second in 1957, and Altoona (G) finished third. Individually, last year's fourth-place winner, Dave Blumfeldt, Mt. Lebanon, will return, as will the fifth-place runner, Joe Thomas of Uniontown. Thomas recently defeated Blumfeldt for the District 7 championship. Lebanon High School will be represented by Floyd O'Neal, their ace harrier all season who set a new local course record this year.

The course record for the PIAA championships is 10:49.4, established by Joseph Smith of Hickory in 1955. the bonus point that put the Eagles in front, 14-13. Then it was the visitors' turn again. This time they went 55 yards in six plays with Morrison getting 28 on one carry, and also covering the last four. West added the extra point on a rush and Reynolds led, 20-14.

On the second play of the fourth quarter Morrison intercepted a pass and ran to the Houck 10. He also went over from the four for the touchdown. Just two plays later Suter intercepted another aerial and romped into the end zone. By this time the score was 32-14. The Eagles didn't quit at this point, however, and marched 70 yards for their third TD.

Lentz spearheaded this advance throwing one pass to Dennis Sholley that covered 35 yards, and two to Terry Knight that clicked for a total of 26 yards. Then with the ball on the five Shirk tossed to Lentz, who made a juggling catch in the end zone. Lentz then added the extra point with a placement. Houck completed 8 of 17 passes that were good for 124 yards while the winners failed to connect on four heaves. On the ground, however, Reynolds held an advantage of 199-79.

This was the next-to-last game of the season for Coach Pete Camber's gridders who close the season on Saturday afternoon, November 8, against Harding. HENRY HOUCK Boltz, Sholley, Wise. Miller, E. Keller. Pond, Schauer.

On the other hand, the Cedar coach has also drilled his charges intently on their own passing attack this and will likely count heavily upon the aerial game with Dick Shiner on the firing line. He looks forward to another tough assignment "he says they're all tough in fact, one of the toughest of the season for that matter, but is confident that the Cedars will give a creditable account of themselves. Coach Schmalzer has warned' his charges that the Billport- ers will be rebounding from that loss to John Harris last week, but expects them to be rebounding from their defeat by William Penn on their own account. In 'fact, he maintains that the Cedars may well rise to the occasion tomorrow night they did it before and even spring another upset over another favored rival in Lebanon's last Central Penn Conference game on the schedule. Myersfown, Reading Tie In Overtime Soccer Tilt Myerstown's Mohawks and Reading's Red Knights battled to a double overtime draw in a tight soccer contest in Reading on Wednesday when neither team was able to break a 1-1 deadlock in two extra five-minute periods.

Come back Of Year Honors To Roberts SAVANNAH, Ga. felt better and was throwing better." That's how Robin Roberts summarized his 1958 pitching record of 17 victories and 14 losses that won him the Comeback Player of the Year title in the National League.

Roberts got 59 of the 98 votes by members of the Baseball Writers Assn. of America in the annual Associated Press poll. Bob Friend of Pittsburgh got 21 votes and Bobby.Thomson of Chicago 13. The 32-year-old Philadelphia hurler referred to his dismal 10-22 record for 1957 and said it "definitely made me a candidate for the (comeback) honor, didn't it?" The strapping right-hander did not make any excuses after that fiasco. "I just got clobbered.

That is all," he said. But Roberts, in Savannah to look after his seafood packing and restaurant business, had a ready reason for his improvement. "I suppose I made a comeback this year because I felt better and was throwing better," he commented. "I wasn't throwing any different stuff not too much anyhow but I was throwing better. "I can tell you one thing.

I'm looking forward to next season and I personally hope to do bet- C. P.

I feel fine and I suppose this feeling comes from winning.

It makes a lot of difference the way you feel when you're out there winning." Roberts' 1957 mark was the worst in his major league career. He won 20 or more games for six straight years, 3948-55, before dropping to a 19-18 mark in 1956. Then in 1957 his earned run average soared to 4.07. But his 1958 performance trimmed this to 3.27. OBTAIN DEFENSEMAN CLEVELAND (UPI) -The Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League have obtained defenseman Robert Robertson from Providence for a player to be named later.

Robertson spent 365 minutes in the penally box last season. Penn State Loses Gilmore For Season UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. State's hopes of preventing Coach Rip Engle from having his first losing season received a severe blow Wednesday when 'doctors ordered ace halfback Bruce Gilmore sidelined for the season. Gilmore, the Nittany Lions' leading ground gainer, suffered a severe knee injury in Tuesday's gruelling practice session. A similar injury kept him out of the lineup most of the 1957 campaign.

Penn State, however, was favored heavily to push its record over the .500 mark Saturday when winless Furman visits Beaver Field. Gilmore had averaged 5.5 yards per carry in the 288 yards he gained in six games. The Reading, speedster was a standout as a sophomore two years ago, rolling up 406 yards in nine games. Last year, because of limited duty, he managed only 93 yards in 31 carries. Football Ratings LEBANON DAILY NEWS 1.

Shockley leads the state with 66 points in six games on nine touchdowns and 14 points after touchdown. Wendland has scored seven touchdowns for 42 points, also in six games. Their total accounted for 110 of the 236 points scored by the once- beaten West Chester team, highest scorer in the state. The two are the only backs from the same school in the top ten scorers. Wendland is tied for fourth with Gary Gilbert of Edinboro.

Shockley holds his head over second-place George Darrah of Franklin and Marshall, who has eight touchdowns and six extra points for 54 points in five games. He is two points ahead of Bill Berrier of Juniata, who has scored eight touchdowns and four conversions. Newest member of the top ten is Don Nikles, Lafayette fullback, who scored three touchdowns against Buckneli Saturday. Nikles has moved into for seventh with -38' points on six touchdowns with Bill Sullivan of St. Vincent and Herb Owens of Muhlenberg.

Hunting Ban Continues At Indiantown Gap INDIANTOWN GAP, Oct. 30 Headquarters United States Army Garrison announced that hunting wili continue to be prohibited on federal leased land at Indiantown Gap Military Reservation. This action is necessitated because of the danger of unexploded duds throughout the area which could result in fatal or permanent physical injury. The entire reservation is posted and barricades have been erected on all roads leading into that portion of the area lying between Blue and Second Mountains from Indiantown Gap southwest to Manada Gap. According to reports coming our way, the small game season thus far has been far from successful.

All types of game rabbit, pheasants, squirrels and especially quail have been hard to come by. This is in contrast to predictions by the Pennsylvania Game Commission, which said prospects for the season excellent. Perhaps recent heavy rains are keeping game inactive. But whatever the explanation, the results have been far from satisfactory. Secretary of Forests and Waters Maurice K.

Goddard today called upon all Pennsylvania voters to vote "yes" on the proposed 1 forest land amendment to the Commonwealth's Constitution when they go to the polls next Tuesday. If approved by a majority of the voters, the amendment would make it possible for the General Assembly to consider a tax law sometime in the future that would encourage owners of private woodland to permit their trees to grow to full maturity. To do this, the provision in the State Constitution that all taxes must be uniform must first be amended to exempt forest land. In his statement, Goddard commented: "This measure was rejected at the polls four years ago simply because most people did not know what.it was about. This year the issue has been widely discussed in the press.

In addition, it is the only proposal on the ballot this time, so no voter should find it hard to inform himself." Goddard said that he believed every Pennsylvanian could feel safe in voting for it because: "It does not enact a law it only permits the Legislature to consider whether or not a new taxing procedure for forest land is required. "It is non-partisan members of both parties have backed it. "It is non-controversial it has been approved twice in the past four years by the State Legislature without a dissenting vote. Newspapers and civic organizations throughout the State support it. "Most important of all it will make possible, if necessary, future legislation designed to encourage the wise employment of Pennsylvania's private forest land." We agree completely with the Passage of this amendment'would not only constitute a progressive step forward in the conservation of one of our most essential natural resources, it would also assure the.

continued existence and possible expansion of woodland habitat for both small and large game- Moreover, forest lands are not only a boon to tha hunter. They also help prevent soil erosion and thereby providing pure streams with the water-fluctuation level kept to a minimum. Better streams naturally mean better fishing. So come on, you sportsmen, vote yes for this important amendment. Thousands of hunters are in the countryside in search of game this fall.

But when the shootin'g over, there likely to be some "dead" road signs among the fallen fur and feathers. Shotgun blast and bullet damage to vital road signs during hunting season is a perennial headache to i a nnr, 0rities- 11 nation such damage rung to $1,400,000 annually.
