set up the game's first TD, Brendan Murray's 2-yard run.

and Craig Kugler had two interceptions each and Gary Gray recovered two

RECAPS OF CITY TITLE APPEARANCES

1963
At Franklin Field
Egan 16, Roxborough 16 (tie)
    After George Katzenbach made a tackle and fumble recovery at
Roxborough's 1 to keep Egan from going ahead, Egan's Paul Barczy and Joe
Frazer combined to tackle Frank Ruchalski for a game-tying safety with
1:35 remaining. With Egan going for the win after the free kick,
Katzenbach and Mike Riesberg forced a fumble and John Heiser recovered
on Roxborough's 6. Roxborough had taken a 16-14 lead on a safety of its
own (bad snap on punt). Paul McDowell (23-95, TD) and John Kerr (18-91)
led Egan in rushing. For Roxborough, the scores came on Bobby Feret's
79-yard punt return and Ron Darlington's 68-yard pass to Hal Werntz.

Handsome Wearing, while Johnnie Williams rushed 24 times for 79 yards

title since 1958 and only the third since 1947. Warren McAllister set up
Israel's TD with a fumble recovery. Joe Younge recovered a fumble to
thwart Egan's next-to-last possession, then combined with Greg Pittman
