In sports, major league baseball had a different look in 1964. Washington D. C. had a team in the American League and there were two pro football leagues-the familiar National Football League (NFL) and a completely separate American Football League (AFL). Some of the teams in the AFL, along with Pittsburgh, Cleveland and the then Baltimore Colts from the NFL would become the American Football Conference of the present NFL.
The Pirates’ Roberto Clemente continued to lead the National League batting race with a ,342 average, followed by Rico Carty and Hank Aaron both with .327 batting averages and both playing for the Milwaukee Braves.
The Pirates trailed Milwaukee by 1/2 game in the standings in a battle for fifth place, 12 1/2 games behind the front-running Philadelphia Phillies and a game and 1/2 in front of the seventh place Los Angeles Dodgers.
Owner Art Rooney commented at the Curbstone Coaches Luncheon, “It was the worst game I have ever seen.” Rooney and Steeler coach Buddy Parker agreed the Steelers 26-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams to open the 1964 season, in which Pittsburgh lost the ball eight times on fumbles and interceptions was a lack-luster performance by the team’s offense.
The Golden Eagles (2-0) smashed Moshannon Valley 60-6 on Friday September 18, 1964 for coach John Schonewolf for Tyrone’s second straight win.
Everybody who dressed got in the game and got plenty of time in the Eagles’ largest margin of victory since 1932 when Tyrone manhandled Roaring Spring 81-0 to end the short five-year series.
A total of seven players shared in the eight TDs and six extra points scored by the Eagles at Hilltop Stadium in Houtzdale. Bill Gearhart and Dave Langenbacher score twice each, Tony Singer, who scored four TDs last week against Bellwood-Antis, Max Schnellbaugh, Bob Keefer, Rick Shellenberger and Frank Maisano each scored once and Schnellbaugh kicked four PATs, Don Friday booted one and Dale Erdley ran for one extra point.
Tyrone led 20-0 at half time when it was still pretty much a game, then put it out of reach with 20 points in each of the final two quarters.
In the opening quarter, Terry Turnbaugh hit Singer with a short pass on a third down and 19 play. Singer went up the middle, got a block from Bob McNeal at the 15 and continued on into the endzone for a 49-yard TD. Later in the quarter, sophomore QB Bob Hickes, playing halfback took a pitch from Turnbaugh and in turn tossed the pigskin to Schnellbaugh for a 47-yard TD pass. On the final play of the half, Gearhart intercepted a Mo Valley pass at the MV-five and ran it in for the easy TD.
In the third stanza, defensive guard Bob Keefer picked off a pass and returned the interception 45 yards for a score. Then a series later, Scnellbaugh recovered a Moshannon fumble and Tyrone took eight plays to march 54 yards for a score. Gearhart capped the drive with a two-yard TD over the left side. McNeal blocked a punt and Charlie Soellner recovered at the MV-eight. Langenbacher scored his first TD from three yards out to end the third quarter.
Masaino scored on a seven-yarder just four plays into the final quarter over the right side of the hard-charging line. The soph group took over from there, driving 22 yards in five calls with Shellenberger going over for a one-yard score on a quarterback sneak. Moshannon then tallied their lone score to make the score 54-6.
Tyrone scored their final TD on the next series covering 52 yards in four plays with Langerbacher goingin from the two. Bruce Tepsiic set up the score on a 38-yard pass play from Hickes.
Singer led the rushers with 75 yards on11 carries, Tepsic had 47 on four carries and Hickes 31 on seven as Tyrone outrushed Moshannon Valley 221-26.
