Ken Anderson (24-116) and Marty Israel (18-51) ran for TDs as
Central, coached by Ed Veith, became the first PL school to win the city
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
to sack QB Dick Bedesem Jr. and end Egan's last possession. For Egan,
Mike Fogarty rushed 10 times for 51 yards and a TD.
Public League

Central 25, Frankford 0
Conrad Jackson (two), Bob DuBose and Marty Israel scored all
four TDs on 1-yard runs, but the leading rusher was Ken Anderson
(20-71). Using a 7-1-3 defensive alignment instead of the 6-2-3 they had
used all season, coach Ed Veith's Lancers dealt Frankford its first
