'     To   Conway     goes   the j honor of having prevented  the visitors | from making at least one  touchdown, i It  was  in  the  latter  part  of  the  third tjuarter  that   Conway   saved   the   day. The  Con-Xior boys  had  sniiished   the Anibler  line   reiieatcdly   for   big   gains and   by   .so   doing   they   were   able   to work the ball  down  the  iield  to  Amb¬ ler's  311  .Viird-line.   Here   Quarter-biick Phillips   took   the   ball   and   on   an  end 1 un   carried   the   pigskin    to   Ambler's! ID-yard   line.  It  was iit   this  stage  the | game  that   the  alert  Conway     robbed] the   visitors  of  their    only   chance     to I score.

There   was   a ' hush   among   the   local   student    bod.v- thiit Wiis rather painful as the visitors made gain  after  gain,   but  wlien  Con¬ way   caught   the   ball   on   the   forward pass   near   the   goal   line   and   bore   it out   of   dan.ger   there   was   opportunity, for (~'heer Leaders.

For the lirst time in the history of the school .-Vinbler high is now coming into its own in the Held of sports, and to ('caches Dungan and Kindig much of the credit goes for having organiz¬ ed such a. v>'onderful football team in the Held. It is not a one-man team, because every player fulfills the ex¬ pectation of the students and the coaches. Today there is no player in high school ranks that can show any better record than Qulartfer-Biick Gelbert. He le at his best in a broken lield, and on mor<^ thiin one occasion hits carried the ball through the en¬ tire enemy's team for gains of 40, 5it and liO yards. In going through center for remarkable gains, Jf. Douglass. _as they say at the school, is a "bear." In last Friday's game Captain Douglas.si was at his best, and despite the fact he had a heavy line opposing him it made no .difference.

.Scouting in Ambler, during the past ¦ few months, has tiiken a decided drop, and it is found tliat the cause hiis| been the lack -' definite and per- i miiiient organization. Therefore it j Wits decided at this meeting that re- . cords be gone over by the s.nut ex- | emtive. while local leiiders and in-, terested parties of the sciiut move- | ment will hold a. joint me*-ting with ' Field Executive Weikel to form a new ! and purpo.seful body of leaders for; the Ambler troops. This meeting will ; undoubtedly include all past and pre- ! sent scout leaders in Anibler, and as a result il .solid foundation for scout¬ ing  in  Anibler  is expected to be  laid.
The next meeting of this iis.sociation of scout leaders will be held in the above mentioned chureh hiill, Tues¬ diiy. January, !i, to further the organ¬ ization and purposes of tho.-^e who are striving to develop today's boy into ine  man   of  tomorrow.

he had crossed the line with the liall. Gelbert added another point by kick¬ ing the goal. The tiuarter eneded with the visitors having the ball. In the next period Ambler got possession of the ball and began advancing it until Glen-Nor's lO-.vard line was reached. JI. Douglass then smashed through center for the second tiiUy of the game. Gelbert failed to kick the goal. The visitors put up the best game seen here in a long time In the third (luarter, and Ambler had to play its best to keep them from scoring. Quarter-back' Phillips was the reitl star. He sent his players through center for gains. Then he VMiied this play with an end run, then would come a forward pass for short gains. Ambler players were becoming des- piirate and they were doing their best, but the superior weight of the visitors was telling. Then came the iilay re-, corded above when Phillips threw a forward pass only to have Conway in- tei'sept the pigskin and carry it out ofi danger.
