acid test into a rout. Johnny Krobock led the scoring parade and played superb

defensive ball. "Big ick", Paisley, and Skitko played a commendable game.

As usual our line did a magnificent job. Co-captain Joe Dudeck never looked

better.

Bethlehem 20

For the first time this year our team failed to score. A Bethlehem High

aggregation took the Mounts "over the hurdles" in all departments to hand

the Mounts their second loss of the season and dim their prospects as Big Fif–

teen Champs. Although each individual fought gamely, the team as a

who.le

did not click. Krobock, Dudeck, Barkocy, and Chulock played exceptional

ball. Several scoring chances were petered away by the Mountaineers.

Mount Carmel 6

Again hitting their stride, the Mounts gained an impressive victory over

Mount Carmel. Maylath, Barkocy, and Dudeck were the sparkplugs of the

H. H. S.line. Yackanicz and Krobock were the big guns of the backfield. Haz–

leton suffered a severe blow when Johnny Krobock, the best safety m.:m Hazle–

ton has had in years, was lost for the rest of the eason.

6,500 fans braved bitter cold weather to witness one of the most thrilling

contests ever staged at the Harman-Geist Stadium. "Pluto Mope, replacing

Krobock at fullback, did a commendable job. Paisley, who made a sensational

61 yard dash for a score, played a beautiful game. "Big Nick" and Skitko

wrecked havoc with the Pottsville line. Our great line, in which Dudeck, Bar–

kocy, and Chulock starred, staved off a determined Pottsville rally. The Moun–

taineers' forward wall, in this editor's opinion, is the

best

in the state.

West Hazleton 6

In the traditional Turkey Day classic the Mountaineers closed a very

successful season with a win over West Hazleton. Faced with a 6 point deficit

at ·half-time, the Mounts, with

Danny Paisley providing the

spark, came back strong in the

final periods. "Bulldog" not only

showed tremendous speed while

going for a 71 yard touchdown

jaunt, but also hulled his way thru

the line several times. Battering

"Big ick" Yackanicz wrecked

the Wildcats' line. Line play was

the deciding factor in this thrilling

contest, and our great line came

thru with flying colors. Joe Du–

deck once again proved that he

is of All -State calibre.
