the first home game, the Lions lost a high-scor- ing contest. Neff first reached pay-dirt from the eight-yard line, and seconds later an aerial, Ronnie Holtzinger to Bob Snyder, covered sixty yards for a touchdown. In the game's dying mo- ments, Ropp made the third score. The following Saturday our team, tottering after an early lead. lost their second straight home game to Lemoyne before a large Booster Day crowd. Both scores were credited to Wiggle Weigel. Then came a most important game and the first big upset of the season by Red Lion. Meet- ing a highly favored York Catholic team before a large home crowd, the inspired Lions com- pletely out-battled their county rivals. The first score was made on a pass play, Norris to Snyder, from the fifteen, after which Kinard booted the extra point, his ninth straight. Norris netted the other touchdown and when the teams left the field, Red Lion had humbled York Catholic by an unexpected 13 to 6 victory. Playing their second night game of the season, this time at Ephrata, the team gained their sec- ond straight win in a thrilling contest. Again the placements provided the winning margin and TD honors went to Ropp, Weigel, and Norris. '49 SCORES Lititz . ............. . Susquehanna Twp. . .

Practically all their tourna- ments are reeled off after school. The gym just isn't big enough for both the boys and the girls so the girls have to be satisfied with their time, but they keep begging for more. fWait till the new gym, girlsll To become a member of the G.
