very early in the first period. Showing great comeback ability the Gold and Black fought on even terms throughout the rest of the half. Late in the third quarter, Fitzkee went over and added the extra point to create a tie which continued until. with four minutes to play, Red Lion gained possession on Ephrata's thirty-three. Three plays and two first downs later Fitzkee threw the win- ning touchdown pass to Blessing. Once more a fumble gave the opposition a quick score on the Manheim Township gridiron. A scoring duel began at this point ending with a victory for the Lions. Touchdowns were cred- ited to Inners, Fitzkee, Pedlow, and Blessing. The large following of Gold and Black fans was typical ot the line support given to the team throughout the season. In the final contest of the season the Lions toppled rival West York. Iohnson, returning t the game for the first time since his jaw fracture netted two touchdowns. Smith provided a rea thrill when he raced sixty-four yards for his tally Inners' turn came next with a nineteen-yar jaunt through the defense and over the doubl line.

BASKETBALL Coach Nitchkey once more took over the reins of an athletic team at Red Lion High School, after serving with the United States Navy for two years. With only one varsity member returning, Coach had a job in turning out a smooth- working outfit for the first game. Opening at home, the Lions dropped a really tough one to Spring Grove. On the large West York floor the hoopsters played improved ball during the first 'wo-an-qvqww un-vw fw '- half but lost the touch in the final periods. A home the next week opposing North York, tht Lions just couldn't get started, so proceeded on ward in their losing style. Traveling over tha hill to meet Dallastown, the varsity five began tc show signs of good ball, although dropping o low-scoring, hard fought battle. The next tw: games were enough to take the fight from ani team. Leading York Catholic and Wrightsville l . ?Q ll N,'Y SQQSiW Q.
