In chalking up its second win of the campaign, the Shippensburg team put on two sustained drives; a sixty-yard first-quarter march, which was repulsed on the Red Lion eight-yard line, and a second period seventy-yard forward movement which found Naugle plunging over for the score. After a scoreless third auarter. tack effectively, the Camp Hill High School football team opened its 1940 season in an auspicious manner on Saturday with a 27 to 0 victory oyer Newport High School at Camp mil unaer a not sun.

Penn State's Nittany Lion is back again at tne No, not the real ferocious moun tain lion that roams the Nittany Mountains and serves as mascot for all Penn State athletic, teams, but tne lion skin purchased to entertain football fans.

Bought with money subscribed by students and alumni, last years' lion skin was dedicated at Homecoming. But the Old Oreds were disap pointed. They said it looked more like a pole-cat. At least, it wasn't anything like the lion "we used to have. So this year college officials took matters in their own hands.

Eugene Wettstone, varsity gymnastic coach, was dispatched to see that the cbs-tumers made an authentic mountain lion. Expert taxidermists were em ployed. Wettstone, demanded that "not one whisker should be missing, not one claw out of place." Twice the experts tried and failed. And now. for the third time Wett stone has shipped the skin back to New York.

Strangely enough, the latest fault he -found was that the animel looked "too ferocious." "We can't take any chances of the thing scaring anybody," Wettstone said. "The lion should be reasonably tame after its third alteration." Mlnersville Foe Lykens Subdues Fumble Leads to Reading Victory Over Industrial Failure to pick up one yard on any one of three occasions resulted in a 6 to 0 defeat for the Hershey Industrial High School football team at Reading on Saturday. The defeat was dealt by Reading High School, which capitalized on a break to produce its touchdown in the opening period. The six-pointer was registered by Szymanski, who battered his way across the goal line two plays after the Red Knights recovered a fumble on the Hershey ten-yard line. Wolf, Hershey right halfback, who had taken a punt on his own three-yard line and returned the kick seven yards, committed the fumble.

Hershey, using a forward-double lateral pass effectively, held the up- per hand in the second half, in which it made its three chief scoring thrusts. One was made in the third period and two in the fourth. The third period threat was set up after Bratton, Hershey left end, blocked a punt and a teammate recovered on Reading's forty-four-yard line. Two passes, Hummer to Bratton and Potteiger to Hummer, brought the ball to the eleven. Ker-ico's six-yard rush netted the only substantial gain fn three Here Hummer tossed another pass to Bratton who was stopped short of the wide stripe, ending the initial threat.

Deprived of Score On another Hershey threat. It was thought Kerico's final plunge was over the goal line but officials ruled otherwise and Reading kicked out of danger from its own half-yard line. Hershey Industrial High completed ten of twenty-one passes and itself presented an airtight pass defense that Reading was unable to penetrate in eight tries. The Industrialists scored seven first downs to five to Reading. jKoontz tallied again for the victors aea Lion nve-yard marker on a brilliant runback of a punt.

In Ninth Frame Halifax kept, alive its hopes for championship honors in the Dauphin-Perry Baseball League by eking out a 7 to 8 victory over Dauphin in the third game of a play-off series yesterday at Tourist Park near Hair fax. Dauphin the first two games.

Woody Hoffman, who pitched the entire game yesterday for Halifax, batted in the winning run in me last half of the ninth. After Dauphin, blanked for the first six innings, scored two runs each in the seventh, eighth and ninth frames to knot the score, Halifax pusnea across one run in the last half of the latter frame with none out to emerge with the decision. Pete Kennedy, Halifax second-baseman, led off the last half of the ninth with a double and moved to third on H. Carman's one-bagger. Norry Bowman walked, filling the bases, bringing up Hoffman, who responded with a single to admit Kennedy.

Halifax took a four-run lead in the first inning, but was held in check until the seventh, when it scored one run. It also marked up lone tallies in the eighth and ninth. Buffington Bat Star Dauphin smashed out thirteen hits to Halifax's twelve, with Jack Buffington, Dauphin shortstop who is to be signed by the Harrisburg Senators, leading the attack with four hits in four times at bat. Another big gun in the Dauphin attack was George Megonnell, who collected two hits, one a two-run homer. Five Halifax players banged out two hits each and the other two safeties were triples -by the Lebo brothers.

The fourth game of the best-out-of-five series will be played next week-end at a site to be selected this week.

By defeating the Fauquier-Loudoun club, 9 to 3, at Middleburg, the Rangers tightened their grip on first place, and the Roamers, with a 6 to 5 win over Lancaster at Camp Hill, moved into fourth place. Added reward for the Hanger victory enabled them to even their series with the Red Roses at five games each.

A severe blow was dealt the Rangers when Frank Frownfelter, their hard-riding back, was injured early in the game. Frownfelter was unconscious for more than ten minutes, but re-entered the game in the sixth and final chukker at; his own insistence. As- no Ranger alternates were available, Harris Bucklin of the Fauquier-Loudoun "team filled Frownfelter's No. 4 position for chukkers. Bucklin scored two ofi the Rangers' goals in the fifth chuk-j kerv The nine-goal Fauquier-Loudoun team gave the Rangers a three-goal handicap but it was not needed, as things turned out Two goals by Frownfelter canceled scores by Hubert Phipps and Charley Rand in the first two periods.

"Watch John Harris this year," was the phrase on the lips of practically aU of the Hill team's followers as the first public showing of the Crimson and Silver squad on Saturday revealed a strong defense: oua a promising attack-, No doubt John Harris will meet; mutji stronger opposition in the co.me. V. view of the fact that Columbia High defeated the Hill gridders last year and was playing for the third time in a regulation contest, the outcome was gratifying to say the least Some of the John Harris fans rur- haps felt that the passes completed by Columbia on two desperate at-! tempts to come within close range! of scoring, meant that the Rotemen are weak in aerial defense.

However, any trouble in this department! is likely to be corrected for the bigger games in the- coming East Central Pennsylvania Conference, first of which is next Saturday against Lebanon on the John Harris Field. An airtight defense was displayed by the towering John Harris line, to indicate that most of the opponents facing the Hill gridmen will have to resort to the passing department or end sweeps if they want to get anywhere against the locals this season. On this showing alone, however, John Harris cannot feel too confident.
