ACANOM Published by THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1953 MONACA HIGH SCHOOL MONACA. PENNSYLVANIA THE 1953 SENIOR CLASS OF Editor MARLENE SHIRES Assistant Editors JOHN ALLINGHAM JANE BLISTAN EDWARD ROWAN MONACA HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS THE FOREWORD Marcus Aurelius once said: “Time is a sort of river of passing events and strong is its current. No sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.” True, future years will bring new faces, new ideas, and changes to our school scene, but there will be in this edition of the Acanom, a pic- torial and written record of the events of this, our senior year. Wherever we go, whatever we say or do, these cherished memories of our high school days, bound together in this volume, will always be with us. This has been an unusual year in the sports of our Monaca schools, especially in basketball. The Junior High basketball team won the Sec- tion XIV title of the Junior WPIAL. and the Senior High Varsity team captured the Section VIII title of WPIAL. Since our players are known as the Indians, we have selected the young Indian youth in the division pages to represent Monaca, the BRAVE.

We are trying to get our classmates interested in a 1953 class reunion in late August of this year. In a recent trip to Mexico we met Steve Todd, Bob Suttelle, Paul Vacich, and Vincent Troia near the capital building. They were promoters of oil wells in that region. Paul told us that Tom Nichol owns a large turkey farm somewhere in Nebraska and has Victor Pogledich and Richard Nunzir as his assist- ants. Rich is the proud father of six boys. Bob informed us that Joe Namett manages a large tobacco plantation near Durham. North Carolina. Joe’s auctioneers are Ed Rowan and Bill Daudet. Several weeks ago we went by plane to Chicago. When we landed at the new airport, we were pleasantly surprised to meet Betty Stone and Ann St. John who are air-hostesses there. We chatted away about our classmates. We were told that Leola Winkle and Tudie Woodruff had just left by plane for San Francisco to attend the opening of Jack Sundry and Carl Belich’s new movie hit, “Two to Tan- go,” starring George Forse, Anna Mae Godfrey, Shirley Arbogast, and Ed Lyons. We left the girls and took a taxi to a hotel on Michigan Avenue. We went into Madame Fran’s beauty salon and discovered that the proprietor is our Frances Chott. Jeannette Rowan and Sue Kalinoske are her beauticians. Carol Rumbaugh was just leaving the salon. She now plays basketball on the “All American” Redheads Team. She had seen Pinky Davison and Pat McDonald in Cleveland a few days ago. They had just met Lue Verne Romigh who was in charge of a large flower show to be opened on November 18. In the afternoon as we were shopping at Marshall Fields, we met Betty Linn Spickerman talking to Mickey McClain who is now the Mayor of Chicago. They mentioned that Louis Rambo had just opened a new real estate office near the store. Jerry Cronin and Clifford Campbell are his bookkeepers, and his secretaries are Stella Danello and Catherine Emert. Mickey had just received word from Monaca that Jim Hunter, Anthony Kurtz, and John Lavrusky belonged to a firm of architects in St. Louis, and that La Verne Lutz was now a dentist in Erie. As we left the store, we met Pat Dockter who was on her way to meet Carol Youtes who was visiting Jean McCracken in Chicago. She told us that Janet De- Felice, by the way, is teaching in the schools near here. Virginia Ciecerko is in Miami, Florida, where she is the manager of a large hotel. She has as her private secretary, Phyllis Alexander. After our Chicago visit, we returned to Los Angeles. As we neared the Blistan Nursing Home on New York Avenue, we heard a commotion. Struck by curiosity, we went to see what it was all about. There we saw Governor James Meehan and his private secretary, Marlene Shires, trying to get through a traffic congestion caused by some publicity stunts for the new movie, “Two to Tango.” by Sundry and Belich. We escaped to The Fourth Sieber Restaurant, and had dinner with the Governor and his secre- tary, Marlene. This restaurant was one of the five restaurants owned by Aura Sieber, Catherine Kovach, and Ralphline Tuffie. A few days ago we met Phyllis Marietta and Margie Jena in San Francisco. We went to a radio quiz show which had as its master of ceremonies none other than the quizzer himself. Bob Rubino. The announcer was Ed Simson and the electricians, Blaine Short and Walt Winkle. We stayed for the next show, “The Modern Captain Video,” played by Don Newman, and assisted by the cowboys, Whitey Erickson. A1 Johnson, and George Fillinger. John Cutich was his manager. After the show we decided to go to the stock-car races. Harry Patterson was in charge of them. Some of the riders were Jack Brad- ford, Joe Dusold, John Miller, Alan Lang, and Richard Mayfield. His mechanics, Robert Lang and Paul Salinshick, told us that John Tuffie owns a series of gas stations near San Francisco. Don Walsh, Ed Miller, and Joe Davis are in business in Denver. You will never guess who is the promoter of Los Angeles, and he is doing a fine job of it. It’s Nick Petrel la. He invited us to UCLA to see a basketball game coached by Otto Pritchard. There we met Dick DeLuca and John Allingham who are professors of physics and chemistry at UCLA. During the game, one of the players was injured. Doctor Christy Ciccozzi and his nurse, Charlotte Henry, rushed to the scene. As we hurried to see if we could be of any help, we bumped into Don Grime, who is presi- dent of the school board in Los Angeles. He told us that Bill Tuma is the football coach of one of his high schools, and that Frances Renzo is the superintendent of a School for Girls. Some of her teachers are Nancy Reese, Pat Schultz, Thelma McLaughlin, and Martha Fillinger. After the game we had a chat with Otto. He had just received a letter from Len Clarke who is playing professional basketball in Cuba. At one of the games he met George Ord, who now owns a large sugar refinery in Cuba. Donna Cha is directing a dancing school in New York City. She has as her assistants. Mary Ann Macirynski and Helen Olszanski. As one of the attractions for her school, she has engaged the famous Frank Phillips Band to play for her students. Frank is, as you know, the second Tommy Dorsey of music-land. Bob Snider, Virginia Swartzwelder. Eleanor Duncan, and Joe Placidi are members of his band. Nick Chunchick is acting as Frank’s agent. We have written to every member of the class of '53 about the reunion, but have not set a definite date. Please let us know if late August will suit you. Come prepared to tell us all about Panama.

BETTY DEAN MISS MARY O’KEEFE President Tom La very Vice President Rose Budacki Secretary Frances Salinshick Treasurer Jack McKay As Juniors we began to realize that we would have to assume our share of responsibilities in our school organizations. We were led in our cheering by cheerleaders Phyllis Morrison and Juliann Pupi. In the group of majorettes were our high-stepping Marion Pyecha and Marianne Fogle. Our class was represented to the Student Council by Jeanne Ralish and Donald Hartnett. The uppermost item of our Junior year pro- gram was the means by which we could build up our treasury for our Senior year activities. To do this we participated in the sale of magazine subscriptions, peanut brittle, and candy Easter eggs. These sales netted us a profitable sum. On May the first, a well-chosen cast under the able direction of Mr. Robert Fogg, presented the Junior class play, Caught in the Villain’s Web,” to an appreciative audience. The following week we were the hosts to the graduating Seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom held at the Colonial Inn near Bellevue, dancing to the music of the Colonial orchestra. As members of the class of 1954. it is our fondest hope that in our final year we may con- tinue to uphold the standards and traditions of Monaca High School. First row: M. Cutich. F. Claspy, J.

ROCK President Vice President Secretary T reasurer OFFICERS John Hutchinson Loraine Greback Charlene Motz Nancy Fronko We, the future class of 1955, have fully en- joyed our first year as upperclassmen in the senior high school. To some of us it was a new experience; to the others who had spent their freshman year there, it was a pleasure to be re- united as an integral part of the sophomore class. At our first meeting Nancy Robitz and Ed- ward McDonald were elected as our representa- tives to the Student Council. To expedite the financial affairs of the class, Nancy Fronko, the class treasurer, chose homeroom treasurers. The ring committee was appointed by the president, Jack Hutchinson. Among the cheerleaders were the Cushnen twins, Patricia and Priscilla, of our class. The sophomore majorettes were Frances Gagliordony and Charlene Eberhardt. Many girls joined the G.A.A.; they took an active part in basketball and volleyball. The boys of the class made up the reserve basketball teams and the second and third teams of football. Larry DeVincentis and Bill McClain made the varsity team. On March 13 we received our beautiful class rings which emphasized our position as full- fledged upperclassmen. The Freshman-Sopho- more party-dance held May 29 closed our year. First row: C. Motz, C. Nelson. C. McKinney, N. Meechem, N. Robitz. C. Neese. R. Roberts, L. Reynolds. Second row: Mr. Kiefer, S.

OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer James Moore Frank Petures Kay Louise Williams Frances Lynn Dalzell FRESHMAN CLASS SPONSOR MRS. DORRIS G. SOWASH The class of 1956 has already made its mark as a most active, co-operative group. At the class organization of the freshmen in early fall, we elected the class officers and homeroom representatives. At the next meeting, a spaghetti dinner and a dance to be held in October were planned. Later, dances were held in December and April. The highlight of this freshman year was the annual crowning of the “King,” Richard Dock- ter, and the “Queen,” Roberta Pupi, at a Valen- tine Dance held in the high school. The gym was decorated in the traditional holiday red and white. This color theme was carried out in the girls’ dresses and flowers. After the crown- ing ceremony, an entertainment in honor of the king and queen was presented. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. To climax the freshman class activities, a most enjoyable annual party-dance was held in May. With happy memories of this past year, the members of the class of 1956 are looking forward to their sophomore year. First row: B. Specht. R. Kraft. A. Walker, R. Pupi. N. Wilder. M. Ullman. M.

A girl for each sport, a sport for each girl, is the goal of the Girls’ Athletic Association. G.A.A. symbolizes health, vim, and co-opera- tion in sports for the girls of the high school. Volleyball served as the fall opener with the classes competing against each other for the championship. The winter favorite, bas- ketball, followed with the members showing their skill on the gym floor in class compe- titions. The club had many other social activities throughout the year such as the Play Days at Aliquippa High School and the basketball and volleyball games at Hopewell High. Our most popular social event was the winter frolic, “The Kandy-Kane Ball.” With the co-operation and sportsmanship of all the members, the G.A.A. had one of its most successful years.

With Tuma and Dusold carrying most of the burden, the Indians roared from deep in their own territory, high- lighted by a 14 yard jaunt by Dusold, for the Indians’ first touchdown. After a nice punt by Freedom’s Tom Malagise down to the Indi- ans’ 12 yard line, the Indians made their way to the 33 yard stripe on short but powerful running plays. Then Tuma on third down ex- ploded through right tackle on a quick open- ing play and rambled 67 yards for the second T. D. Stan Snyder came in to placekick the extra point and the Indians led 13 to 0 at the end of the first period. The third scoring drive came in the second period after a Freedom fumble, which was re- covered by Tony Kurtz on the Indians’ 41 yard stripe. Dusold then carried the pigskin 31 yards to the Freedom 30 yard line, from where Grimm lofted another aerial that was gathered in on the three yard line by Kurtz, who stepped across the payoff stripe for the Indians’ third T. D. The Indians returned the Bulldogs’ short second half kickoff to the Monaca 48 yard line and in three plays had their final touch- down. A line play gained two yards, and Grimm hit Mickey McClain with a pass on the Freedom 25. Then Dusold took a pitch- out and the Indian fullback raced around right end for the score. Eld Simson added the final point on an end run. — 79 — INDIANS TOPPLE RAMS FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR For the second straight year the Indians ended the famed Rochester jinx, with a de- cisive 12 to 0 victory before a jammed stadi- um of about 7,000 spectators at the Monaca Memorial Stadium. The Indians started their first touchdown drive the second time they got their hands on the ball. With the ball on the Indians’ 28 yard line, the Indians started to roll with Bill Tuma and Joe Dusold carrying for consecu- tive first downs to the Rams’ 46. With the ex- ception of a few passes by Don Grimm, the pair carried the skin all the way to the three yard line where Dusold ripped through right tackle for the T. D. Tom Nichol’s extra point plunge was halted. The Indians and Rams played scoreless second and third quarters, in which the Rams could do nothing with the rugged Indian for- ward wall. The Indians’ final score came in the fourth quarter with about two minutes remaining in the game. Larry DeVincentis scored the touch- down after sweeping the right side of the Ram forward wall for the final yard. He teamed up with Dusold and Tuma to eat up most of the yardage to the final stripe. The difference was in the line where the Indians ground out 261 yards to the Rams' 98 yards. MONACA DEFEATS BLUE DEVILS 18-12 Monaca ground out 363 yards compared to Coraopolis’ 207. It was the Indians’ third successive win and their first in Class A. Starting on their own 23 yard line, the Monacans rolled to the Cory 46. There Lar- ry DeVincentis, soph halfback, hit off right tackle, broke into the open, and raced for the T. D. Rich Nunzir missed the extra point try. Early in the second quarter Monaca’s speedy backfield moved 71 yards to score again. Dusold culminated the drive with his JIM HUNTER BILL DAUDET RICH NUNZIR one yard plunge. The extra point try was blocked. De Vincentis’ runs of 38 and 17 yards early in the third quarter took the ball to the Cory 11 yard line, from where Chick Nichol dashed into the end zone. Nunzir's point try again was blocked, but the Indians led 18-0. Coraopolis bounced back, however, when Orsini sped 27 yards to the Monaca 34 yard line from where Jackson rambled to T. D. land. Bill Daudet blocked the extra point try. On the last play of the game, Trello skirted his own left end for the final touchdown. MONACA TRIPPED BY MONESSEN Monessen High School’s mighty line spelled the difference as the Greyhound gridders over- powered Monaca by a decisive 31-0 margin at the Monessen Memorial Stadium. With an average weight of 196 lbs. per man, Mones- sen's powerful line ripped huge gaps in Mo- naca’s forward wall. Sparked by Marmie and Solomon, the Greyhounds rolled 55 yards to their initial tally the first time they got the ball. Solomon plunged over the one-yard line and Campbell booted the extra point. Later in the first quar- ter, Marmie returned a short Monaca punt ten yards to the Monaca 35 to start another touchdown trek. Ten plays later he hammered over the one-yard line. In the second frame, Monessen moved 50 yards to score again on Pallini’s 12 yard end run. Also in the second period, Solomon scored on a line plunge from the one-yard line after blocking a punt by Larry DeVin- centis on the Monaca 12. The last Greyhound tally came late in the fourth period on a 49-yard march with Mar- mie slanting off tackle for the final score. Monaca’s only two sustained drives came in the third period. The first march carried 31 yards to the Monessen 23, and the second moved 54 yards to the 24. Larry DeVincentis, Bill Tuma, and Joe Dusold did most of the ball carrying on the two sustained drives. ANTHONY KURTZ DON GRIMM TOM NICHOL — 81 — ED SIMSON BILL TUMA JOE DUSOLD LEOPARDS BUMP INDIANS FROM A RACE The Indians were knocked out of the Class A” race by Midland in one of the most thrill- ing games ever witnessed in the Monaca sta- dium. A matter of inches on an extra point try was the difference between the two fight- were stalled on the Midland 25 yard line, but after a return of punts the Indians marched 48 yards for the score. The hard charging Monaca linemen opened big holes in the Leopard line through which Tuma and Cic- cozzi bulled. The T. D. was scored by Ciccozzi, but Tuma’s extra point try was just short. ing teams. The Leopards started a drive late in the first quarter sparked by Ungethuem’s passes. They were stalled on the 16 yard line, but two plays later they got the ball back on an Indian fumble. Hibbard carried to the Monaca 11 yard line for the Leopards. Two plays later he scored from the nine yard line. White added the extra point by placement. Bill Tuma returned the kickoff to his own 35. On the first play, Willie Vaughn intercepted Joe Dusold's jump pass and with beautiful block- ing sprinted into the end zone. White again split the uprights. Despite a 14-0 deficit, the Monacans were a rejuvenated team in the second half. They Early in the fourth quarter a nicely execut- ed pass from Don Grimm to Tuma covering 35 yards gave the Indians their second T. D. Ciccozzi plunged for the point, but despite valiant efforts by the veteran Monaca team in the closing minutes, the gap could not be closed. Midland went on to win the WPIAL championship. INDIANS WALLOP VIKINGS 38-7 Sparked by an 82 yard run by Eddie Row- an, the Mcnaca High Indians scored in every quarter to hand Hopewell High a surprising 38-7 setback at Aliquippa’s Stadium. A re- covered fumble on Hopewell’s 44 yard line — 82 — set up Monaca's first score. With Ciccozzi do- ing most of the leather lugging, the Indians moved the ball to the Vikings’ five. There Tuma raced around left end for the T. D. The Monacans then made the score 12-0 in the second quarter on a 43 yard pass play, Don Grimm to Tuma. The latter caught the ball on the Hopewell 15 and moved into the end zone for another six pointer. In the third period Tuma capped a 27 yard drive with a one-yard plunge to make the scoreboard read 18-0. Sub back Eddie Rowan later took a punt on the Monaca 18 and ram- bled 82 yards down the left sideline for Mo- naca's fourth score and the most exciting play of the gridiron scrap. A 38 yard jaunt through left tackle by Eddie Simson ran the count to 31-0 in the fourth quarter. For the last Mo- naca score Dusold plunged three yards. Coach Bruno then cleared the bench. Hopewell took to the air in the dying mo- ments of the game to score its only T. D. The Vikings moved from their own 26 in six plays for the six pointer. The scoring play was an 11 yard pass from Maravich to Barton. Monaca’s forward wall played superb ball throughout the game and the Vikings made little yardage on the ground. INDIANS ROLL OVER BOBCATS Monaca High School Indians went on the warpath with a devastating running attack and trounced the Beaver High eleven 40-12. The first Monaca score came with Tuma, Du- sold, Grimm, and Rowan sharing the ball, car- rying it to the Beaver 30. Then fullback Cic- cozzi took off around the left end for the T. D. After a Beaver fumble on the 44 yard stripe, the Indians took five plays for the second score. A 34 yard gallop around right end by Ciccozzi was the key play. He was stopped on the three, and Tuma took the ball over the goal for the score. The Bobcats then came back with Griffith, Lengyel, and Steffine toting the leather to the EDWARD ROWAN Monaca 39. With the help of a roughing-the- kicker penalty, the Bobcats had a first down on the 25. After a first and ten on the eight on fourth down, Campbell flipped a flat pass to Lengyel for the T. D. Halfback Ed Simson intercepted a Beaver pass at midfield. Rowan raced around right end to the 29 yard line and Tuma wheeled around right end for the remaining distance. Just before the half the Indians racked up their fourth T. D., Tuma scoring from the three yard line to wind up a drive of 48 yards in five plays for a halftime score of 26-6 in favor of the Indians. Monaca’s two third period scores boosted the score to 40-6 with Rich Nunzir picking up a fumble to score. The huge Monaca score was the result of the longest run of the game, a dandy 59 yard jaunt by Larry DeVincentis after taking a pitchout from Grimm. During the game the fathers of the Monaca players were seated beside their sons. They were introduced via the P. A. system at the halftime intermission at a special Dad’s Night ceremony. MONACA AND STOWE FIGHT TO 7-7 TIE After one of the most weird gridiron tus- sles seen in Beaver County this season, the Monaca and Stowe Township High School football teams had to settle for a 7-7 tie be- fore some 2,000 fans at the Monaca Memor- ial Stadium. Stowe’s Stallions, always a jinx team for Monaca, had the home team in serious trouble several times, but were able to score only once. The mighty Stallions marched 68 yards af- ter the opening kickoff for a T. D. Highlight- ing the march was a screen pass from QB Moore to HB Latusick that picked up 55 yards before Latusick was downed by Ciccoz- zi on the one foot line. Fullback Anthony Rip- pole then smacked over for the touchdown on his second plunge. Harry Guydon booted the extra point to give the Stallions a 7-0 lead. Monaca roared back in the second period with the tying tally after Ciccozzi had recov- ered a fumble by Guydon on the Stowe 35 and returned it to the 27 yard line. Bill Tuma promptly found a huge opening through Stowe’s right tackle position and sprinted 25 yards to the two. Three plays later he ham- LaVERNE LUTZ — 84 — mered over from the one for Monaca’s T. D. Ciccozzi sliced off right tackle for the extra point to deadlock the game at 7-7. The game marked the final home appear- ance for seventeen Monaca seniors who were introduced before the game. INDIANS LOSE FINAL 19-14 After a hard fought but scoreless first per- iod, the Indians forged ahead after a 70 yard drive in the second period. Christy Ciccozzi and Larry DeVincentis sparked the drive, which ended when Larry smashed off guard for the T. D. Tuma drove a bit off tackle for the extra point. After the kickoff the Lions in six plays scored on a 40 yard pass from Craw- ford to Vukich. Kairis’ placement kick was wide. Early in the fourth quarter, Sheffield plunged over from the two yard line to climax a 59 yard march. Monaca’s second score was set up when Ed Simson recovered Kairis' fumble on the Lions’ 27 yard line. In two car- ries DeVincentis scored, and Tuma added the extra point making it 14-13. The Lions re- turned the kickoff to their own 40 yard line. Two fifteen yard penalties and a five yard gain put the ball on Monaca’s 25 yard line. Crawford, on a reverse, passed to Sylvester in the end zone to put the Lions ahead 19-14. Monaca punted with three minutes remaining, and the Lions kept possession of the ball the rest of the game.

The first quarter was played at a slow pace with the score dead- locked at 12 to 12 at the end of the first quarter. Led by big Ted Makowiecki. who worked very smoothly under the basket, the Indians led 29 to 20 at intermission time. After that the closest the Lions came was 31 to 25 early in the third period. Len Clarke showed the way in the last two periods as he dropped 14 points through the hoop. Defensively Coach Bruno’s players checked their opponents closely, and as a result their opponents got few open shots. Makowiecki and Clarke paced Monaca with 25 and 14 points respectively, while Ferrence paced the Lions with 12 points. INDIANS THUMP FREEDOM The Monaca Indians nailed down their second Section 8 win with a 90 to 39 trouncing over Freedom High School at the losers’ court. Freedom led only one time in the game—that was 4-3 in the first minute of play. However a foul shot by Makowiecki, a goal by Len Clarke, and a charity toss by Otto Pritchard put the Indians on the warpath. At the end of the first quarter the Indians led by a 27-11 count. The margin between the two teams grew to 49-24 at halftime with the Indians leading. Three quarters of the way through the con- test Monaca led 68-29. The Bulldogs held the score down slightly in the second half with their possession-type tactics. Coach Bruno used his reserves in the late part of the game, and some broke into the scoring column. Ted Mackowiecki paced the scoring with 26 points, and Len Clarke was a close second with 22. Len was followed by Otto Pritchard who had 18 points. Freedom was paced by Collins, who collected an even dozen points. INDIANS TROUNCE BEAVER Paced by Ted Makowiecki’s 41 points, the Monaca High Indian cagers clobbered the hopeless Beaver dribblers. 94-43, on the Monaca court. Two Monaca High records fell by the wayside. Makowiecki’s 41 points is a new individual scoring record for Monaca High teams: it is also believed that the total of 94 points is a new team record at Monaca. Beaver held a short-lived 3-0 lead before Otto Pritchard started the Monaca scoring with two foul shots. Makowiecki put the home club ahead to stay with a fielder. At the end of the first quarter the home team led 20-7. At the end of two rounds the winners led 46-19, and at the three-quarter mark the scoreboard read 68-31. Beaver had a rough time bringing the ball down court against the Indians' pressing tactics. Monaca now had a 3-0 record in Sec- tion 8 and led by a half game over Rochester. Frank Melchiorre followed Makowiecki in the scoring with 14 points. Smith led the Bobcats with 11 points. MONACA TRIUMPHS OVER ROCHESTER Monaca won their fourth league game by tripping Rochester 61-38. It was a closely played first half with Monaca leading 30-19 at halftime. Monaca was behind 3-0 before Len Clarke hit on a fielder to start Monaca's scoring. It was nip and tuck the first quarter with Monaca’s taking a 12-10 lead. Tom Lavery paced the Indians to their 30-19 halftime lead with nine points. In the third quarter Frank Melchiorre led the way for Monaca with five points. Cable paced Rochester in this quarter with two buckets. The Indians increased their lead to 42-24. The Indians kept up their scoring spree in the last quarter by dumping in 19 points to Rochester’s 14. Tom Lavery, hard working Monaca sub, paced his team with 19 points. He was followed by Ted Makowiecki, who dumped 16 points in. Cable and Keller led Rochester with 12 points apiece. MONACA PASSERS DOWN HOPEWELL Ted Makowiecki and Otto Pritchard staged a two-man scoring duel as the Indians rampaged to a 69-40 win over Hopewell to record their fifth straight triumph in Section 8 play. At halftime the Indians were warming to the task but were held somewhat in check by the stubborn, possessive-style playing Vikings. The buzzer ended that period with the Indians holding a 30-20 ad- vantage. The third period made the difference as the Indians were able to rack up 22 points against Hopewell’s eight. The Vikings played a deliberate, slow-down style but failed to hold the fast-stepping Indians who hit with remarkable consistency throughout the contest. Ted Makowiecki led the scoring with 22, while Otto Pritchard dumped in 19. MIDLAND UPSETS MONACA After Monaca had led most of the way through the first half and held a slim 27-23 lead in the third period. Midland caught fire in the home stretch of the game. The score was tied no less than four times in the third period. Finally Midland was able to gain a five point lead in the fourth period. But the battle was far from being over. The Indians stayed in the thick of it until about three and a half minutes remained in the game. The breaking point came when Karas picked off an Indian pass in back court and laid in two points to make the score 55-47. From then on the losers’ passing and coordination progressively deterior- ated. Midland won. 66-53. Lewis of Midland carried off scoring honors with 25 while Mak- owiecki was runner-up with 17. MONACA SLAUGHTERS NEW BRIGHTON Coach Larry Bruno's Monaca High passers were in top form and the New Brighton dribblers were far from it, as Monaca scored an impressive 62-29 victory. Both teams were slow getting started and Chuck Roth’s goal at the two and a half minute mark gave New Brighton its first and only lead. The opening period ended with Monaca sporting a 19-7 advan- tage. New Brighton failed to score a goal in the second period and the Indians were far in front at intermission time, 30-13. After that it was strictly slaughter. The fast moving Indians hit from every part of the floor and at the same time used an airtight man-to-man defense to keep the Lions far away from the buckets. Len Clarke led the well-balanced Monaca offense with 16 points, followed closely by Makowiecki and Pritchard who scored 14 and 13 respectively. MONACA TOPS FREEDOM As expected, Monaca High cagers easily defeated the winless Freedom Bulldogs by an 88-44 count. Freedom held a brief 2-0 lead in the opening moments, but then the roof caved in as Monaca scored 18 straight points before Free- dom could tally again. The Bulldogs tried unsuccessfully to check Monaca with a zone defense, but the Indians countered by shooting over the zone with deadly accuracy. Monaca's artillery was provided by Len Clarke with 23, and Ted Makowiecki who garnered 20. MONACA SWAMPS BEAVER The contest got off to a slow start. With less than two minutes gone, Beaver’s Ronnie Mott started the scoring with a long set shot. Monaca was able to grab the lead at the end of the first stanza by a slim 12-8. Beaver pulled up close midway through the second round before the Indians could hit on three straight tries to give them a halftime lead of 22-17. The third stanza was sloppy passing on the part of both clubs. Beaver took advantage of the situation and closed the score to 24-21 before the Indians righted themselves. The score at the start of the fourth stanza was 37-25. The Indians now couldn't be stopped as they scored 23 points to the losers’ 11. Ted Makowiecki easily capped scoring honors with a 21 point performance. MONACA DOWNS ROCHESTER The Indians led all the way, but the blue and white cagers, whose only previous defeat was at the hands of Monaca, staged several scoring flurries that kept it in- teresting throughout. Actually it was the third period that blasted Roches- ter s hopes of upsetting the Indians. Monaca was able to tally 13 points against Rochester's three. The Monaca cagers played deliberate basketball, tak- ing advantage of the Rams' mistakes and increased their margin as every minute passed. Ted Makowiecki led Monaca to undisputed possession of first place with 25 points. MONACA BLASTS HOPEWELL Coach Bruno's sharpshooters were certain of at least a tie for the Section 8 championship and were only one game away from a clear cut claim to the coveted title, after trouncing Hopewell’s quintet, 85 to 54 at Monaca. The game was close only in the first six minutes of the first period. In that time the Vikings were ahead, 7 to 4, and the count was tied twice before the Indian cager3 racked up 10 straight points to make the score 18-10. The Monaca quintet checked like a well-oiled machine in the remainder of the game causing the game to be one-sided and uninteresting. It was again the talented Makowiecki who led the scoring with 30 points. MONACA COPS SECTION VIII TITLE Coach Larry Bruno's classy players turned a close first half into a one-sided game in the second half. The Indians turned in a fine ball game in all respects. Their classy ball-handling and dominance on the back- boards and their excellent shooting was no match for Coach Hamilton's Leopards. Tight defensive tactics by both teams held down the scoring at the outset but as the game progressed. Mo- nacal pressing offense was able to rattle the Midland cagers into throwing away the ball. It was 56-37 as the game ended. The Section 8 champs led by Makowiecki's 20 points proved that they were a well-coached and a well-bal- anced team in every respect. MONACA ELIMINATES HURST The Monaca High School cagers made a fine debut into the Pitt Field House by beating Mt. Pleasant Hurst. 61-44. The Monaca hoopsters outclassed the scrappy Hurst outfit in every department of play. Their shooting was an excellent 40.5% while their tight defense held the Hurricanes to a meager 21. 5%. In addition to their steady shooting, the speedy In- dians treated the crowd to smooth floorwork and con- stant ball-hawking that cost the opposition possession on many occasions. Again it was Ted Makowiecki with his fall-away jump shot that led the Indians' attack. He not only hit the hoop constantly, but effectively controlled both boards with the help of Otto Pritchard and Frank Melchiorre. Dimunitive Doc Zinke played his usual fine floor game while Len Clarke was able to hit on outside push shots. Ted Makowiecki led the scoring with 27 points. SHARON OUSTS MONACA The Sharon High School quintet, which later became PIAA runner-ups. defeated the Monaca Indians. 68-44, in a quarter-final game at the Pitt Field House. The Bengals' tight zone defense kept the Indians’ at- tack bottled up most of the evening while they were able to make a remarkable percentage of their shots. Ted Makowiecki led the Monaca cagers with 15 points while Otto Pritchard was able to score 11. The Sharon game ended a most excellent season for Larry Bruno’s cagers. It was Monaca’s first class A sec- tion victory and also the first for Coach Bruno. — 92 HI-Y BASKETBALL TEAM R. Lang, H. Patterson. E. Erickson, G. Evans, M. Kovach. O. Berkman. J. McKay. C. Bryson.
