On This Date; (Nov. 16, 1959)

November 16, 1959 — Nesquehoning tallies four touchdowns — two on defense and another on special teams — in the second quarter to pull out a 26-9 victory over Lansford. Mike Digilio accounts for two of the scores by the winners, including the first one of the game when he scoops up a blocked punt and returns it 15 yards to the end zone. A Panther fumble sets up another Nesquer TD as Pat Rose does the honors with a 9-yard run. Moments later, Jerry Farnsworth comes through with a 19-yard pick-six to extend the Nesquehoning lead. On Lansford’s next play from scrimmage, Digilio recovers another fumble — this one in the end zone — for his second TD of the game.
