City Title

At Franklin Field Lincoln 28, La Salle 20 Though La Salle's Vic Gittens returned the opening kickoff 88 yards for a TD, Lincoln persevered behind the running of Ed Silverberg, who gained 193 yards on 21 carries and reeled off an 85-yard TD of his own. Silverberg, who'd played tackle as a junior, added another TD and two conversion runs. Bill Humenuk passed for two scores to Frank Scornaienchi. Coach Ben "Moe" Weinstein's Railsplitters were the PL's first city titlists since 1950. For La Salle, Scott Maxwell (15-89) and Gerry Woltemate (18-77, TD) were the leading rushers.

Public League

Decided in Regular Season Lincoln (8-0-0) The Railsplitters clinched the title in their next-to-last game. Just two plays from the end of host Lincoln's 35-0 pasting of Northeast, word arrived that Frankford had beaten Olney, 9-0, thus dashing the latter's hopes. Bruce Barron started Lincoln's scoring with a 1-yard plunge, then Bill Humenuk threw a pair of TD passes to Frank Scornaienchi. Lincoln finished 8-0-0. Second place was split between Dobbins, Frankford and Overbrook at 6-1-1.
