February 24, 1954 Myron O'Neil scores a team-high 20 points to help lead Mauch Chunk to a 62-60 victory over White Haven and win the Mountain League championship. O'Neil's tip-in of a missed free throw late in the fourth quarter ends up being the deciding basket. The Bruins, coached by Ossie Maehrer, also receive 18 points from Lamar Cadden while Dick McGinley contributes 13 points.
