City Title
At Franklin Field
La Salle 26, Northeast 0
Each member of the starting backfield -- fullback Tom Hopkins,
halfbacks Bill Dick and Ray Frankson, quarterback Hugh Brolly -- scored
one TD each as the first-time CL champions rolled. Coach Jim Gallagher's
Explorers (10-0) finished the season with eight consecutive shutouts and
allowed just 20 points total. For Northeast, Marv Sloms gained 58 yards
on 14 carries, but Herb Adderley was unable to run because of an ankle
injury.

Mike Cooper (6-134) and Angelo Coia (15-84) ran for one TD each and Herb
Adderley (11-64) helped out. Early in the game, Cliff Hubbard and Johnny
Johnson combined to chase down Gratz's George "Bubbles" Miller at the 6
and prevent a 90-yard TD run.
