IT’S A CLASSIC LATE FALL IN
EAST FAREWELL
East Farewell – The fall season is winding down and winter is
usually right around the corner when the third week of November rolls around
but this year autumn has hung on a little longer and the warm days and brisk
nights make everyone smile a little longer and greet each other a little
warmer. Maybe it is the fact that everyone knows that the snow is coming soon
and it will be a long cold winter that everyone is enjoying these last few days
of sunshine and the beautiful foliage and surprisingly warm weather a little
more. The temperatures were holding in the mid to upper 60’s and on Wednesday
they reached 70 degrees. While this is not unheard of for this time of year it
is unusual. The warmer weather has prolonged the beautiful foliage and has made
the viewing even more spectacular. The town has welcomed many visitors who rode
the train out from Philadelphia, New York City and east from Cleveland to view
the beautiful vistas on the lake and around the area. Many of the restaurants
on Main Street and Lake Shore Drive have been able to stay open late and offer
al-fresco dining with warm evenings.
“This is just
gorgeous weather, I love this. All my boarders are able to sit out on the porch
and just enjoy the wonderful evenings. It is just wonderful,” exclaimed Mrs. Mallard,
boarding house owner on Lake Shore Drive.
All this great
weather will certainly come to an end soon but everyone seems to be more than
willing to enjoy it while it lasts. The weather forecast predicts the fine
weather will last into next week and many are hoping for it to hang around
until next weekend for the Cougar’s Homecoming celebration.

COUGARS SCARE DEVILS TO DEATH
Corning – The Cougars broke their
road losing streak by soundly defeating the Corning Devils, 14-0. After
dropping three out of their four road games the Cougars went into the game
Saturday looking to turn things around and did exactly that with a very strong
showing on both offense and defense. The game started slowly for the offense
with both sides moving back and forth between the 20s. Cougar’s defense was
able to contain the Devils to only four first downs while the Devils were able
to hold the Cougars to six in the first half. Neither team was able to penetrate
but the Cougars were able to attempt a 36 yard field goal that went wide to the
right. It was David Galloway’s longest attempt and first miss of the season. It
had the distance but flared right. “We didn’t expect him to be able to kick it
that far,” said Cougars coach Al Burcowitz, “but we thought we would let him
try. I was pleasantly surprised at the length. We are going to try that more
often, now. Good for him.”
In
the second half the Cougars took charge on offense. Starting with the second
half kickoff Joey O’Toole was able to run all the way back to the Devils 23,
closer than they had been in the whole first half. Cougars quarterback, Kevin
Dugan, was able to work the offense using several options to drive in for the
score. First he handed off to running back Joey Neil who swung around the right
side for a five yard gain. Then he turned to Joey O’Toole around the other side
for six more and a first down. He then tried to hit wide-out Max O’Hara with a
post pattern but it was broken up by Devils defender, Gerald Fussco. Another
pass to tight end Richie McGee moved the ball down to the four yard line. It
was up to fullback, big Robby Blackman to drive right through the middle in for
the score. Galloway added the extra point and the Cougars were in charge. The
Devils mad e several charges but the Cougars were able to stop them each time
and finally in the fourth quarter Dugan hit O’Hara with a beautiful 20 yard
sideline pass that O’Hara was able to break for a 40 yard run and score.
Galloway again added the extra point and the Cougars were up 14-0. The game
ended as the Cougars were driving and looked like they were going to score but
the clock ran out with them on the 20 yard line. The win was a solid victory
and was a welcome end to the losing streak. Next week is the Cougar’s
Homecoming when they will host the Sun City Eagles. Homecoming preparations are
already under way. Along with the game there will be a pre-game band concert,
the crowning of the Homecoming king and queen and after the game there will be
a dinner-dance in the Regional High Gym. The activities start at 12:00, noon,
the game starts at 1:00PM and the dinner-dance starts at 5:30PM. Sounds like
great fun for all.
