Dick Morgan . as 5 A Ryu., -T. t Paul Clary f alex. AA Lyman Stough squads, Waynesburg pushed the Titans all over the proverbial lot for 3 periods but couIdn't score. After Dave Clelland downed a low placekick attempt for a safety for the visitors, the Jackets grew resolute, and Bill Shaffer downed the free kick. On the next play, Coach Keck pulled an old trick for a TD. A sub came onto the field, but TWO men left for the sidelines. One, end Stough, stop- ped iust inside the boundary, waited for a play, caught Balaban's pass, and scored un- touched, as the Ten Mile banks echoed the wild cheering. Waynesburg 20 St. Vincent 14 Another thriller-our 4th win-came at Uniontown under the arcs in the finale. Most of the Center students turned out to see their campus heroes in action. ln the see-saw bat- tle, the Bearcats scored first on a 60-yd lateral run. Then Bill Shaffer picked up a mid-air fumble and ran 80 yards, 6-7. After the in- termission, the Jackets took the lead on Shaf- fer's counter, 13-7, but the 'Cats struck back, 'I4-13. Bert Sutton's four field goal attempts went wide, but Al Minicucci recovered a fum- ble on the 'Cat 20, and with 4 minutes to go, Balaban took it across the final stripe to vic- tory, 20-T4! Recap The final count showed four wins, five losses, but that last win made up for a lot, because St. Vincent had accumulated quite a record in the district. Everyone agreed the college coaching staff did wonders with the recruits. Of course, with their share of the breaks, the Jackets look to bigger things next season. The traditional 'Last Lap' for seniors was observed again. That's the occasion when senior members of the squad run their last lap around the field recalling and evaluating their football experience-learning to work with others, the will to win, the hardships ofa good bruising, and the determination to go forward. Guard Dick Morgan of Aspinwall, center Paul Clary of Steubenville, O., and back Harry Hos- ler of Brownsville, ran the lap. Back Clair Ullom of Aleppo, was injured at the time. The Last Lap The Thinkers nizl.

At Buckhannon, the brother act of Walter and William Pugh pro- vided the Bobcats with the oFFensive thrust and the latter had a grand Homecoming at our Jackets' expense as 5,000 cheered. Waynes- bvrg drove hard but couldn't score. Joe Datko saved what might have been another 'Cat TD by falling on a loose ball in the end zone as four foes pursued it. Waynesburg 7 West Liberty 'I9 At Wellsburg, W. Va., the Keckmen were seeking revenge for the 1946 Homecoming that West Liberty had ruined, but they ran up against another good Bartell team. Waynes- burg's line made a great goal line stand early in the game, but the enemy took to the air to score. After a second tally, the Jackets struck back when DeLciurentis smothered Glover's punt and Clary recovered on the WL-24. Datko, Fabry and Balaban took it to the 'I-foot line, then Balaban pulled a quarterback sneak to cross into paydirt. Sutton placekicked the point. Where's That Interference?
