January 12, 1968 - Hal Hydro scores 10 of his team-high 22 points in the fourth quarter to help Jim Thorpe pull away from Weatherly for a 68-49 Anthracite League victory. The Olympians, coached by Phil “Pip” Rader, hold an eight-point advantage heading into the final frame but Hydro’s output, along with eight points from Joe Lazorick, help the winners outscore their opponent 24-13 the rest of the way. Randy Smith contributes 16 points to the Thorpe cause, while Lazorick and Richie Kelowitz both finish with nine.
