Again, the Shaler Boys fell before a fast reversing Aspinwall team by a score of 26-7, the first game under the lights. The Huskies, 'Bernard Bujak and Robert VVagner, right and left ends, successfully blocked and reversed an Aspinwall punt to make the lone score. Dick Chapin, fullback, kicked the extra point. -The Shaler eleven improved but fell before Etna's powerful gridders, 18-7, in the second game under the lights.
