Wyomissing's first conference game was with a powerful Muhlenberg team. The mules proved to be too strong a team for the light Sunsets, but the latter fought unwaveringly against the brutal onslaught. Red Ernst was the big gun for the visi- tors, scoring two touchdowns and displaying fancy aerial work. Ron Copeland was the outstanding player for the home team, scoring two long T. D.'s. His first was a ninety yard runback of a kick-off and the second, a fifty-six yard jaunt off right tack- le. Smoky Ioe Martin heaved a pass to Fritz Shenk for the final Wyomissing score. October 16-Wyomissing 7, Boyertown 13, The next game on the card for the Blue and White was played at Boyertown. This game was truly a heart-breaker for the Wyomissing eleven, which was decidedly the underdog previous to the event, Two sensational runs by Russ Miller were the only factors which enabled the Bears to pull the game out of the fire. Wyomissing's forward wall played a splendid game, throwing Boyertown for big losses. The Sunsets had several opportune times for scoring, but capitalized on only one, an end run by Ron Copeland. Another drive gave them the ball on the one foot line with first down but they were unable to push it across. October 23-Wyomissing l4, North Coventry l4, With four defeats posted for the season, the Wyomissing team traveled to Norco for a non- league game and for a chance to improve their record. A determined team fought for a touch- down in thc second quarter on a pass from Martin to Kline. Norco tied the score in the same period and the half ended 7-7. The Sunsets pushed the pig-skin over in the third quarter on an end run by Copeland and seemed to have the game. But in the last minute of play, Norco, on fourth down cracked into touchdown-land to tie it up and the game ended in a deadlock. Twenty-eight llrootfzllmllll October 30-Wyomissing 18, Wilson 13. The Wyomissingites finally broke into the win column with a loop victory over Wilson. Sparked by quarterback Martin's brilliant running and pass- ing, the Sunsets scored in the second and third per- iods. Copeland scored the final T.D. on a nice run- ning play in the final frame. Harry Grill, another backfield standout, gained plenty of yardage against the opposition. Tommy O'Neill was the star for the Prexies, netting them two touchdowns, one pass and the other a line buck. Wyomissing played a hard game all the way and was justly re- warded with their only win of the season. November 6-Wyomissing B, Shillington 13. Shillington was given quite a scare by an un- der-rated Wyomissing eleven on the home field. The first half was completely dominated by the Sun- sets in every department. At half they were on the long end of a 6-O score as a result of a sustained gallop by fullback Copeland. But their lack of re- serves became evident in the second half and Shil- lington, with some lucky breaks, scored two touch- downs to win a hard fought battle. November 13-Wyomissing 14, West Reading 20. Wyomissing brought down the curtain on their 1948 season in an exciting game with their rivals from West Reading. The Battle of the Boroughs was a see-saw affair which contained plenty of action. In the opening frame, a fumble recovered by George Weber, paved the way for the first T.D. Successive runs by the Sunsets terminated on the two yard line where Ioe Martin dove over for the score. West Reading retaliated with six pointers in both the first and second periods. The most thril- ling play of the game came when with but thirty seconds left to play in the first half, Ioe Martin hauled in a kick-off and galloped 85 yards for touch- down land. Copeland scored both extra points and at half it was 14-14. The third and beginning of the fourth quarters saw plenty of action but no scoring. Unfortunately, with only three minutes left to play, West Reading scored again and took the game. Twenty-nine , ff , t x 3-5. , 'Efl ' .
