Dunmore Football 1943 Season

Dunmore's first playoff appearance was a loss to Lansford, 0-19, in the Eastern Conference championship. No win-loss record and no coach were published with it.

The account of that Lansford team puts 6,000 spectators in Lansford. Dunmore had played a war-shortened schedule of six games and was unbeaten and large going in. Guard Joe Sarabok said those guys were big.

Lansford scored on the first possession. Andy Lukac went in from the 1 after a six-play, 46-yard drive. A pass from Johnny Chuckran to Bernie Sniscak gained 19 on that drive. In the second quarter Chuckran hit Sniscak on a 47-yard pass-run score, and it was 12-0 at the half. In the fourth quarter Chuckran scored from the 6, after a 24-yard drive that followed a Dunmore punt from its end zone. Lansford scored 392 points to 18 on the season.
