oot6alf Last fall F. BI. A. was faced with the job of whipping a lot of raw material into shape to face a tough schedule. Mike Lewis, taking on the coaching job after Paul King's departure for the Navy, worked hard to train his light but spirited team. A practice scrimmage was held with the local high school as a prelude to the opening game with Williamson Trade. Un October third the team took the field for the first time and gave the season a good start with a 1441 victory. A pass from Long to Bradley and a line plunge by Hitler were responsible for the scores. hloore was instrumental in winning the game, making several long runs and intercepting a Trader pass. The next Saturday the team traveled to hlereersburg, intent upon repeating last year's 8-6 triumph. hlercersburg was equally intent upon avenging their defeat. They went all out to gain a Heli? victory over the Little Diplomats. A lack of reserves hampered our team considerably, but they fought gallantly to the last quarter when Mereersburg put across the deciding touchdown. Travelling the following week to hlassanutten, the team was determined to make up for the 641 defeat of the previous year.

Dommel led both teams in scoring, hitting the corcls for Q1 points. Then, after losing a heartbreaker to lvest Lampeter A. A., they easily overpowered Marietta lligh. At this time the team suffered a great loss when the two Whig men, Hitler and Milligan, left for College. Ancl the team hit a mirlseason slump, losing to hlercerslmurg, Hershey Junior College, and Valley Forge Academy. The latter game was fast anfl hartlfought all the way ancl was cleeiclecl in the last minute when tl1e flarlets got two baskets to keep their unclefeateml reeorcl intact. Highlights of the season were the two victories over Stevens Trarle, our city rival. The first was a 16f15 thriller that was won by a shot in the last thirty seeoncls, and the
