Going into the game a seven point underdog did not seem to affect the Bombers as they scored the second time they got the ball. From this point on, sustained drives sent Werkheiser, Blynn, the Shiner brothers, and Meinhart into paydirt, as the Hornets were whipped 41-7. Returning to the home stamping grounds, the Bombers, after a slow first hal, teed off on the Lehighton squad and blasted the Indians 33-0. Swooping down for the finale, the Bombers en- countered the Slatington High s uad on an ice frozen field before almost four thousancii anxious fans. Early in the first quarter Andy Wasilkowski swept 28 yards through the Slatington team for a touch own. Doug Shiner promptly picked a fumbled pass out of the air and, aided by fine blocking, ran the rest of the way for a TD. Wasilkowski scored twice more, on an intercepted pass and on a short line buck, to put the final score at 25-0. The Zinc Boro Lads in winning eight straight games and their first Lehigh Valley League Cham- ionship displayed the brand of ball playing and fine sportsmanship that is the dream of every coach. This is partly what helped the Palmerton High squad to be ranked fifth in District XI and twentieth in Eastern Pehnsylvania.
