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. November 1 H. H. S. 0 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. November 9 H. H. S. 24 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. November 16 H. H. S. 19 Pottsvil1e 18 . 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. November 27 H. H. S. 14 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. 133
