PHOENIXVILLE SUBDUES POTTSTOWN HIGH, 33-0 Sports Scene PAUL J. LUCAS Comeback I COMEBACK that was a come- A back was Linfield spurt in the second half of its 1940 baseball campaign. According to the veteran George Berkey, who retires from the game at the conclusion of each season, and then dons the uniform again the following July. Linfield's record was 28 wins, 18 defeats and four ties. not too bad, and not too good.

Feature of play was in final 19 games, when it gained the upper hand in 17 tilts, losing but two. The down-river sluggers ran up a 12-game winning streak before losing to Manager Joe Engelsville AC, and then took it on the chin again at the hands of Liberty Fire company, in the Twilight league playoffs. But Manager Pat Linfield club defeated Liberty in the series to win the circuit championship. Defeats were forgotten when the Linfield bunch, 25 strong, banqueted Friday night at Green Gables. Particularly the no-hit, no-run reverse handed it by Big Johnny Hutman, St.

Phoenixville pitcher. Football Rules alph wentzel, pottstown High quarterback, threw a forward pass that was intercepted by Steve Basca in end zone during the Trojans-Phantoms game Saturday at Franklin field. A Trojan tackled Basca as soon as the latter caught the inflated pigskin, and officials ruled it an automatic touchback. high school rules for you. But at Franklin field Saturday the writer watched Gene Davis, Pennsylvania halfback, intercept a Princeton aerial behind his owr.

goal line. Davis war dropped when he had the ball in his hands and guess what? It was ruled an automatic safety and Davis scored two points for Princeton. the intercollegiate version of the play. Defeated Pottstown, however, need those two points to win while the Fighting Quakers were ahead by a comfortable margin to afford giving the Tigers two points without batting an eyelash. Plenty of Action OLLER SKATE hockey is a great game watch.

But if your insurance is paid to date, and your shin bones too brittle, it's all right to take a chance and try it as a competitor. The way those hockey sticks were flying yesterday afternoon at Ringing Rocks pavilion reminded one of a hill-billy feud, except the hill-billies used irons. It was our first glimpse of roller hockey, watching Manager Bears beat Croydon, 4-2, in a Penn- Jersey league match. At least one, if not more, window panes at the Ringing Rocks' establishment, were broken by a flying puck during the melee. The Bears must have something on the ball because they extended their two-year winning streak to 22 finished 1939-40 with a string of 19 wins, and this season have chalked up three Penn-Jersey triumphs.

Kuhrt Speaks Up UHRT WIEN EKE had one thing in his mind Friday night and that was a victory for his Phoenixville High eleven over Pottstown High Saturday, which is just exactly what happened. Still, Wieneke help but express his regret for G. B. Slagle, head coach, and the predicament with the Trojans. coaches in the Philadelphia Suburban Conference are rooting for despite the fact eight lettermen quit his Kuhrt told the writer Friday night.

We agree it is a sorry state of football affairs at Pottstown High, what with so many able gridders sitting in the stands instead of wearing the Blue and colors in action. This year was supposed to be the one for Pottstown against both Norristown and Phoenixville. The Trojans never have defeated the Eagles, and won from Phoenixville since 1928. But vhat can a coach do if the nucleus of a potential winning team quits before the first game and leaves the coach with nothing but inexperienced material? Nothing except to take it on the chin and hope for something better in 1941.

Another break, a partially blocked punt, set up third touchdown mid-way in the second stanza. Quarterback Ralph Wentzel, after the Trojans last 17 yards on two plays, faded back to his own ten to punt. Two Phoenixville linemen broke through and partially blocked the kick.

The pigskin shot high into the air and spun upheld ten yards to the 20 where Basca grabbed it. He immediately raced for the sidelines and when he was tackled, a half yard shy of a touchdown. Two plays later Geri his third and final touchdown as he hit pay-dirt, going through right tackle. Basca converted extra point. The half ended with Pottstown on the short end oi a 20-0 score.

Bill Zach intercepted forward pass on 35, in a Pottstown team has given in recent years. Brilliant passing by Wentzel and difficult catcher by Edleman, A1 Panfile, George Keller and Paul Olock stunned the capac- lt. gathering and made the Trojans a potential threat, but all this happened too late for Trojans to get back into the ball game. Constant penalties, mostly due to backfield in motion, ruined many Trojan chances of scoring after going down-field via the air-route. One Wentzel pass was caught over the goal line by Panfile, but both teams were off-side on the play.

Coach Slagle's fighting gridmen continued their passing attack until they reached 15- yard stripe. Then again chances were ruined when forward was caught over the goal line by Basca for an automatic touchback, when he was tackled by Olock. Despite the fact Pottstown lost, the spirited Trojans were backed up tremendously by the number of students and team followers in the stands. The 33-0 count rung up by the Phantoms was the biggest score Phoenixville has rolled up against Pottstown. This was the 28th meeting between the two rivals.

Not Since 1928 when Coach Carroll I). Bechtel's Blue and White team defeated the 14-0, has a Pottstown team emerged victorious. Both school bands music before the game and at intermission. Andrew Freeh led the Pottstown band. Helen Jones was Elmer Moyer.

66 Beech street, proved his recent first-place victory in The Mercury grid-guessing contest a fluke when he picked 11 winners in the past contest to gain the top prize a second time this season. But the Beech street resident have an easy time, because two other rivals also selected 11 winners. These two were Henry II i Perkiomenville, and Wesley Nichols, King street, scores were closer to the actual figures than bis competitors, so in the final analysis he gained the nod. By coincidence, each of the three missed out on the same two games, a 6-6 stalemate between Army and Harvard, and the scoreless deadlock waged by Western Maryland and Bucknell Friday night. Each of the 58 contestants went down on these games.

Heintz proved he had something when he prophecized Duke 13-0 victory Colgate by the actual tally. Everyone except Bertram Tinney, 614 North Evans street, went overboard with Phoenixville High over Pottstown High, and since the Trojans have a chance against Phoenixville, Tinney was the loser.

NEW YORK. Oct. 20 ever-reliable Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears emerged from another one of the National Football league's all-around aerial circuses today as the two favorites for divisional honors. With Sammy Baugh passing for three touchdowns, the Washington Redskins overwhelmed the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-17, and remained unbeaten at the head of the Eastern class. The Chicago Bears had to go to conquer the sturdy Brooklyn Dodgers, 16 7, but there was no question of their perior- ity.

Manager Walt Bears extended their two-year winning streak to 22 games, and took undisputed possession of first place in league standings.

The Bears closed their 1939-40 campaign with a 19-game victory streak. They have won three league games this season. Croyden started out strong, intent on giving Ringing Rocks its first defeat. Bowes knocked in one past Goalie Halteman during the first three minutes of action, but Red Crater retaliated several moments later to tie the score. Carl Young gave the the lead.

Oct. A valiant North Coventry High outfield held Clifton Heights High one touchdown for three pe- to riods. but the homesters resorted to forward passes in the fourth period to score twice and earn a 19-0 grid victory here yesterday afternoon. The loss was the third straight for Coach George Wildcats. who have yet to win this season.

Altogether he completed 18 out of 24 aerial attempts for 258 yards.

Eddie Miller made good seven out of nine passes for 117 yards, one of his throws accounting for 61 yards and the only touchdown of the game. also placekicked the extra point and i stahl a 23 -yard field goal. A blocked kick Crater that resulted in a Pittsburgh safety gave the two other points.

It was a pass, too. for 17 yards, that scored the first touchdown after Chicago and Brooklyn had battled scorelessly in the first half. Banks McFadden, of the Dodgers, retaliated with a toss to Ace Parker good for 71 yards and a touchdown. The Bears then switched 011 their ground power for an 81 -yard touchdown march and Bob Snyder booted a 47 -yard field goal. In the wild Green Bay-Detroit doings, passes either set up or scored every touchdown, not always in the right direction though, because Detroit capitalized on two interceptions.
