Varsity Football Out for revenge for last year's humiliating defeat by Carlisle, the Hounds were quick to cap- italize on a fumble and a blocked punt. Hocker- smith and Brenneman scored, but tries for points were blocked. Carlisle countered with two quick scores to even the count 12-12. From mid-field a Hockersmith pass to Lynch put the Hounds ahead at half time, 18-12. The Green and White in the third period scored and converted the extra point. In the fourth quarter Bruce Hancock blocked a punt, picked up the loose pigskin, and raced across the stripes. The extra point was good and the final score was 35-19. The Hounds traveled to Gettysburg to meet a strong Gettysburg eleven. The Maroon and Grey missed a chance to score in the first period. A re- covered fumble gave them the ball and the Hounds moved to a first down on the five-yard line before a fumble gave Gettysburg the ball. The Little Bullets scored 30 points to win. On the following Saturday the Hounds met Scotland on the orphanage field. Scotland scored first but the Hounds tied them by the half. The Maroon and Grey scored again in the third period when Archie Devor intercepted a pass and ran fifty yards to the one-yard line, where Hocker- smith plunged over for a 12-6 victory. Mechanicsburg gave the Hounds their hfth defeat winning by a 47-7 score. The Greyhounds only score came in the second period after mov- ing up the field by a series of passes. Hockersmith passed to Howard Hancock for the score and the extra point was made on a pass to Eyler. Closing the 1948 season, the Hounds went to Waynesboro to lose their last game 39-6. The score was 7-0 at half in favor of Waynesbtirca which scored heavily thereafter. The Hounds only score came in the third frame. Playing their last game for S. H.

Varsity Football Under their new coach, Dick Landis, the Greyhounds opened the 1948 football season with a victory over Quincy. The Maroon and Grey, us- ing a T-formation, scored in the second stanza on a long pass from Hockersmith to Lynch, placing the ball on the one-yard line. Mike Eyler plung- ed across and Galen McBeth kicked the point. The Hounds scored twice in the final period, once with a Hockersmith-Lynch pass and an Eutzy touch- down and again on a pass from Karper to Hinkle. The final score was I9-O. Hershey moved into Shippensburg and hopes ran high for the Greyhounds, but the invaders proved too strong. The Trojans scored in the second and third quarters, adding a safety early in the fourth period. The Hounds only score came on a long pass from Hockersmith to McBeth who Page Highly-Iwo raced fifty yards to pay dirt. Hockersmith con- verted the extra point. Hershey came back with another score, winning with 22-7. In the next struggle at Hanover, the champ- ions proved too powerful for the Hounds, win- ning by a 59-6 score. The Hounds moved the length of the field in the third quarter for their only score with Danny Brenneman doing some fine ball carrying. Against Chambersburg, the traditional rival, the Hounds went down to defeat, threatening only once in the second quarter when co-captain, Archie Devor, intercepted a Blue and White pass at mid-field. Passing and running moved the ball to the five-yard line where time ran out and the half ended. Chambersburg came back and scored twice to win 26-0.

Robert Henderson, Donald Reed Mr. Foreman's junior high school football team had a somewhat less successful season than last yearls squad. However, it must be considered that the team was composed mostly of green material whose lighting spirit was not so well developed, and of boys who were much lighter in Weight. Although playing fine ball, as the scores indicate, the squad was able to 'win only one game in six. The win: came in the fifth game when they defeated Biglerville Junior High School by a score of 20-7. Page Eighty-four
