Upper Perk,s tacklers bringing them down - good and hard! UPPER PERK RANKS THIRD IN BUXMONT GGMPETITION F ifty-six boys had their hopes high in preparing for the Hrst scholastic battle with Boyertown on Sep- tember 19th. The non-league contest provided many pre-season thrills in producing a well-earned Upper Perkiomen 18-7 victory. Senior Fran Schwenk received major glory, gaining 122 yards, and scoring one touchdown. Bux-Mont league activity began a week later, Upper Perk having to fight hard to secure a 25-0 win at Upper Moreland. Stan Graber fired two touchdown throws to Greg Gebert, one for 55 yards, while Kurt Weiss and Galen Dulin handled the ground game scoring. Early heartbreak came the ensuing weekend when, after leading for three periods by a touchdown, the Indians suffered a final quarter let-down, losing in a valiant struggle to Pennridge, 19-6. Schwenk managed the only touchdown of the game for Up- per Perk, and Danny I-Iunsberger displayed fine tal- ents at his ofensive safety position in a losing cause. 83 Central Bucks was victim of an Upper Perk resur- geance, 33-12. Junior halfback Tom Henry under the lights, gaining 135 yards and scoring once. Stan Graber threw three of his league-record 17 touch- down passes, two to favorite target Denny Klein- bach, while defensive ace Steve Szegda sparked the secondary. Three games of power followed, the Keenymen keeping themselves in the race with a few easy vic- tories. Stan Graber, displaying his greatest efforts of a two year scholastic career at quarterback, con- nected for three more touchdowns and scored one himself, leading his team to a 36-12 rout over Springfield. Bruce Schantz's running power, Denny Kleinbachis two touchdown receptions from Graber, and Stan's three passes and touchdown were all that was needed for a handy 46-14 trouncing of Hatboro. Finally, Wissahickon felt the brunt of the Indians attack, falling victim to a 33-O score.
