Emmaus scored first, leading 6-0, but the re- markable and dazzling long runs of Marakovits’s fifty-four yards, Arduini’s thirty-six yards, Dzurak’s twenty-three yards, and Donello’s thirty yards, assisted by excellent team blocking, resulted in a 46-18 score. East Stroudsburg, who at this time appeared to be the most powerful team on the schedule, was the next challenger for the Blue Eagles. Severe penalties goaded the players to do ex- ceptionally aggressive charging. With marvelous all-round teamwork, N. H. S. defeated the oppon- ents 27-6. An excellent running game mixed in with dazzling surprise passes resulted in touch- downs for Donello, Rissmiller, Dzurak, and Arduini. Mengel placed kicked three extra points.

Under the night lights the Eagles, in a hard fought game, had to oe satisfied with a 13-13 tie with Bangor. On three occasions the Eagles threatened to score but breaks went against them. The offensive work of Donello and Arduini and the tackling of Arduini were out- standing. As heavy rain postponed the Emmaus game until Monday afternoon, the team racked up seven touchdowns to a discouraged three by Emmaus. Suprisingly the muddy field did not hinder the fine playing of the Nazareth team.
