' The lay-Vees had a start as Hne as their big brothers in that they, too, went to training camp. They also ended a half step higher in the season won and lost column, because they won two, tied one, and lost six. Some of the boys who showed promise of some day being Varsity material got into some of the big games for the experience that it aHorded when the Varsity seemed not to be doing so well. To start the season off, the Twigs traveled to Williamstown to play under the arc lights on Friday, September 12. The lights being strange and the opposition too great, they absorbed a 25 to 7 beating. On September 2I, the little Thrushmen went to Ephrata where, after a hard Fight, they were finally taken I3 to o. October 4 brought to town the miners of Lykens, who were a bit over-confident, but were rather lucky in taking a 7 to 6 victory. All the games up to this date were with Varsity teams of smaller schools, and the boys showed up rather wellg but in the next op Row: David Bach- an, Eugene Bieber, lbert Shultz, Fred rtzer, Nicholas Ad- ms, Gerald Boyer, ilph Clemens, Rich- d Brown, Robert Ar- lld, Gerald Lynch. lird Row: Kenneth rrkeslager, Kenneth iilippy, Calvin Fish- , Richard Miller, alter Spang, Robert 'oy, Vincent Under- ffler, Jr., Richard eik, Robert Kreider, ichael Kirsch. unior Uardify game they suffered a let-down, and took a 27 to o shellacl-ting at the hands of the Iohn Harris lay-Vees. The Hershey lay-Vees swooped on Leba- non, and the Twigs swiped a well-earned vic- tory from Hershey I3 to 6. The Cedars' understudies then travelled to Lancaster and were subdued by superior man- power by the score of IQ to 12. On November 1 the William Penn lay- Vees jumped into the trenches and were taken into camp to the tune of 6 to o. The Twigs then drove to Steelton and were impaled by a 26 to 0 defeat. To ring down the curtain on a none-too- successful season, Reading stepped on the stage on November I9 and the teams bowed to each other I3 times. The oddity of this game was that Reading made both her touch- downs from kick-offs. The lay-Vees had a good rub down in ex- perience, so that they will emerge refreshed and invigorated to be Varsity gridders. Schedule Leb.

proved a bit too much for the Cedars and starred 30 to 7. Some boys who really played superior foot' ball for Lebanon in the past season may be summed up as follows: Tom Shuey could al- ways be counted on at his favorite end posi- tion, cutting down plays before they had a chance to get started. He was given honorable mention on the All-Conference Team of the Big Fifteen. Buck Fields and Lloyd Wood played some of the best football that the Leba- non fans have seen any Red and Blue tackles play. In the backfield were Bob Hess, a watch- charm halfback who often made the opposi- tion look a bit foolish, Weik and Becker, who displayed some fine blocking, and, last but not the least, big Lloyd Lilly and Paul Bordle- may, who could usually be counted on for that extra yard.

When the final whistle blew, the Cedars were ahead by the score of 31-25. Bethlehem High-the next opponent-was tougher. The Cedars rallied in the last quar- ter so that they ended within four points of the victors 30-26. After this defeat, Lebanon staged a come- back on the local court by swamping Her- shey 45-27. ln this game 'lTom Shuey was shifted from his regular center post to that of guard. Closing the 1940 basketball books with a 'ibangf the Cedar dribblers traveled to Har- risburg Catholic, where they scored a second win over the Parochials 39-26. Although trail- ing their opponents in the First quarter, the Cedars outclassed the Crusaders completely in the remainder of the game. During the Christmas vacation, L. H. S. played host to last year's team. At the end of the first half, the Thrushmen were being close- ly followed by the former UChamps, but in the last quarter the Red and Blue shone. The final score was 30-32. A record crowd at the opening League game saw the Cedars defeat Iohn Harris 27- 18. The second half, the Red and Blue really put on pressure and could not be stopped. Lancaster High was the next to fall under
