Edison Gets Win On Lebanon Grid All of its scoring was done in the first half as the Edison Junior High School varsity eleven marked up a 13-to-0 victory over the Henry Houck Junior High School gridmen yes terday on the Lebanon gridiron. The win was the second in succes sion for the local Keystones in as many starts this season. Edison opened a drive of about 60 yards for its first touchdown in the first period, with Ronald Can- dioto running the last 10 yards on an off-tackle play. The try for the extra point failed. After working the ball deep in Lebanon's territory in the second period, the Keystones tallied again when Dick Zimmerman tossed a short aerial to Harold Nelson, whoj racea bdoui ad yaras 10 me nenry Houck club's broad stripe.

A line play by Zimmerman accounted for the extra point. Meet Camp Hill Next The Edison team will play its next game Thursday afternoon, when itj will meet the Camp Hill High Reserves on the John Harris Highj School field. I i i Catcher Bill Steinecke led the Bear attack last night, batting in three runs with two singles, and scoring another run himself after his double in the ninth inning. Jean Pierre Roy, ace of the Mont real staff, and Frank (Dutch) Hiller of Newark hooked up in a tight pitching duel until the seventh. Both gave up a run in the second.

Phil Weintraub's single started the bigSNewark inning. An error by Roy on a bunt put two men on bases. An error by Salty Parker loaded the bases, and Steinecke's single drove in two runs. Dick Baker stole third and went home when the throw from Catcher Todd was muffed by the third baseman. Steinecke led off the ninth with a double, took third on a single and scored on a double by Bill Rahbe.

Jack Banta relieved Roy and pre vented further scoring. Hiller allowed only four hits, and except for the second inning disposed of the Royals with ease, giving the crowd of 19,000, whkh sat in 40-degree temperature, Jittle to cheer about. It was the fourth play-off cham pionship for Newark, and was re venge for the 1941 season, when Newark won the regular-season title and fell before Montreal in the Governor's Cup play-offs. Montreal was regular-season champ this year. Newark won the season title in 1942 and lost to Syracuse in the play-offs.

Cameron, Harrisburg, Pa. Shop or Department Store The Viking, $13.30 Night and day football attractions will be plentiful in this vicinity over the week-end as the conference clashes beghj to become more stren uous for the contenders.

Regardless of th heavy program offered tonight on nearby gridirons, many eyes are centered on the crucial engagement confronting the John Harris High Pioneers against the Bethlehem High rivals, in a Big Fifteen Conference affair on the John Harris field. Steelton High School will be free of conference worries for another week, owing to an independent booking with the Lewistown High eleven, at Lewistown, but William Penn High will be getting perhaps a strong dose of medicine tomorrow in invading the Reading High bailiwick for another Big Fifteen issue. Games at John Harris and Lewis-town are slated for 2.30 p. while the encounter at Reading has been scheduled for 2 o'clock. John Harris' meeting with the Bethlehem gridmen will be the 15th and final Big Fifteen fray of the series, due to the fact that the two clubs intend to compete in different circuits after this season.

Although beaten in a non-conference game last Saturday by Philadelphia Southern High, 7 to 6, Bethlehem stands out as a real threat to the John Harris chances of retaining the Big Fifteen title. Game on Island In the night offerings on the scholastic card, the local stage will be occupied by the Lower Paxton High Rangers in a Lower Susquehanna Conference contest with the Camp Hill High Lions, on Island field at 8 o'clock. Only one previous game has been played by Coach Bernie Thrush's Camp Hill eleven as compared to three by the Lower Paxton Rangers. Camp Hill, in fact, has been unbeaten in its last 11 starts, winning the conference title last year. For the second week in a row, Harrisburg Catholic High will be invading a foreign field tonight.

The Crusaders are meeting an ancient rival in the Altoona Catholic squad, at Altoona, and the locals will have to win in order to keep on the winning side of the ledger. Only a 7-to-0 setback at the hands of William Penn mars the record of Coach Ralph Farina's charges to date, being triumphant over Delone Catholic High and Coal Township High in other tilts to date. Injuries have handicaped Coach Farina in drilling the Crusaders for tonight's Altoona invasion with the backfield not expected to be at full strength. Of the four backfield starters, Dick Nazay, Jack Freundel, Bob Cunjak and Tony Rados, only Cunjak is expected to be in at the opening whistle tonight. However, Fast Fight Is Aired On WHGB Tonight The action should be fast and furious when Jimmy Doyle of Los Angeles (above) and Johnny Green of Buffalo, tangle in New York tonight.

Doyle, rated one of the best boxers among the welters, licked Frankie Terry last January and has won 14 matches in a row this year. Buffalo's twenty-one-year-old Johnny Green is former national amateur welterweight champ. The kid won all of his fights, six out of ten by kayoes, the first year he fought professionally. Enjoy the excitement blow-by-blow on Gillette's Cavalcade of Sports, over American Broadcasting Co. and WHGB (1400 on your dial) at 10 P.M.

Much attention will be focused on the Lower Susquehanna battle between the unbeaten Susquehanna Township High Indians and the Hummelstown Bulldogs this evening on the Hummelstown field. Other nocturnal tilts of interest will be waged in the Southern Pennsylvania Conference, with Mechanicsburg playing the Hershey Trojans in the Hershey Stadium High invading Carlisle and Hanover High traveling to Gettysburg.

Millersburg In Action Numerous other conference skir mishes are slated for tomorrow aft ernoon, including the Upper Dau phin County classic between Millers- burg High and Lykens High, at Millersburg, and Chambersburg going to Shippensburg.

West Shore teams also are listed for action in the Lower Conference tomorrow, with West York High playing at Lemoyne and New Cumberland going to Yeagertown. New port High faces Highspire and Mid-dletown plays at home against Pat-ton School, of Elizabethtown, in other encounters. Harris Fortified Only four wins have been scored by John Harris over Bethlehem as Lagainst one tie in their past 14 meetings on tne grid, ii we cnarges of Coach Harry Rote can emerge victorious tomorrow, however, they figure to be the team to beat for the title again this year.

Probable lineup for the John Har ris team includes: Cole and Living ston, ends; Soth and C. Brown tackles; Conrad and R. Sheaffer, guards; Kirker, center, and Bowers, Temple, Koup and Gibney in the backfield. William Penn, like John Harris, will be going into its battle at Read.

G. Bramham of the as sociation said yesterday. The new ruling was sustained unanimously by the executive com mittee, according to Chairman Thomas H. Richardson. The decision followed requests from the newly reinstated Texas League which sought the right to draft players.

DURHAM, N. Oct. 5. President W. G.

Bramham, of the Na tional Baseball Association, said yesterday that he had been advised by the executive committee that membership in the association would not be extended at this time to clubs in Mexico or Cuba. The membership will be confined for the time being to the United States and Canada, Bramham said, adding that the decision was due to the fear of monetary exchange and player complications which would arise.

The best that Coach Maurice Sheaf-fer's panthers could get in the fray was a tie in the third period, 6 to 6, but Biglerville rallied to go ahead and ultimately triumph by the margin of a bonus point. Only one score was made In the first half, D. Pitzer accounting for Biglerville's tally on a four- yard plunge.

Enola High, which collected 11 first downs to Biglerville's 10, made its second touchdown before the third closed as Sultzenberger hit pay dirt through the line.

Win in Headliner By WILLIAM TUCKER United Press SDorts Writer NEW YORK. Oct. 6. The football focus falls on Durham, N. tomor row when Duke and Navy meet in the game of the day and perhaps of the season with an early claim to the National gridiron title going to the winner.

Two "irresistible forces" Navy with its multitude of renowned backs and Duke with a high-scoring combine that has rolled up 136 points in two games promise enough action to superheat the fans even if its a frosty afternoon down Dixie. Navy enters the fray a definite favorite with the news that its best quartet of backs Hunchy Hoerns- chemeyer, Bob Kelly, Smackover Scott and Bobby Tom Jenkins all are in peak playing shape. But Duke, with such ball-carriers as George Clark, Jim McCully and Jim Larue, plus deep reserve strength, has plenty of backers. No other game on the packed Saturday card offers such exciting possibilities but plenty of football should be played at West Point, N. and Atlanta, Ga.

Wake Forest Strong The terrific Cadets of the United States Military Academy take on a Wake Forest eleven that lost to Tennessee last week by a lone point but which should have, according to qualified observers, licked last year's Rose Bowl entry by three touchdowns. Nobody picks Army to lose but the Demon Deacons, as they call the Southerners, should give the Cadets a sterner test than the Louisville Air Force did last week. In Atlanta, Notre Dame's surprising winners over Illinois meet Georgia Tech, not the great Yellow-jackets of old but nevertheless an alert gang under new Coach Bobby Dodd, who can give the Irish a full afternoon.

Gray Made Good In Major Debut LOS ANGELES, Oct.

5. One of the most agreeable success sagas of American sport to come along in a great while is the story of Pete Gray, the astonishing one-armed ballplayer, who played the first of three local exhibitions last night at Gilmore. Pete is the lean and sinewy Lithu anian from the slag hills of Pennsylvania who, this time a year ago, was chosen the most valuable player in the Southern League. As you know. Gray was bought by the St.

Louis Browns, and while he wasn't a thundering success during the past season, neither was he a failure. Pete had his moments. There was the day in Yankee Stadium, for example, when he clouted Hank Bo-rowy's pitching all over the lot. Pete personally led the Browns to victory over the Yankees that afternoon. Fields and Hits Coincidentally Gray did exceptionally well against Borowy's pitch ing rival in the current world series, and that would be Detroit's Harold Newhouser, the best southpaw in the game.

Pete gave Newhouser a thorough paddling, in fact, playing his most sensational all-round game that afternoon in Detroit. His diving catch of a line drive by Rudy York was the best seen in Briggs Stadium all season. WTTTTTTf TfTTTTTTTTT TTTTJ SMITH HOOPES, Inc. 7TH MACLAY STS. HARRISBURG, PA.
