City Title

At Franklin Field Bok 13, North Catholic 0 Just two seasons after going winless in their first PL season, the

Wildcats of coach Anthony "Mex" Siani stunned the experts by halting North's

25-game winning streak. Bok scored twice in the first four minutes of the second

half as Charlie Guida (5-for-8, 74) passed 11 yards to Bill Jennings and Bob

Percell (15-49) ran in from the 3 after a fumble on the kickoff. Frank Ventrola

rushed 14 times for 55 yards and made a 76-yard kickoff return to set up the

first score. For North, John McDonnell caught three passes for 64 yards.

Public League

At Shibe Park Bok 0, Frankford 0 (tie) Bok was chosen to represent the PL in the city title game because

it outgained Frankford in scrimmage yardage, 164 1/2 to 132 1/2, according to official statistics compiled by former Dobbins coach Jerry Kean.

Bok came closest to scoring. On a second-quarter run from the 1-foot line, Bob

Percell fumbled and Frankford's Gene Oscilowski recovered on the 3.
