Once upon a time, in the mid-50s actually, The News-Herald had a sports writer named Jake Highton. 

Highton was a native of Doylestown (near Philadelphia, heaven forbid), who received his journalism degree from Penn State, and landed a job at The Derrick before becoming sports editor of The News-Herald.

Highton wrote a column that appeared in the Jan. 31, 1957, edition of the Herald  -- soon after Chuck Snell's eligibility was used up -- daring to mention Snell in the same breath as  Marchibroda, who was first team all-state in basketball (but, strangely,  nothing in football).

Anyhow, Highton, who never saw Marchibroda play anything in high school, thought "bad boy" Snell should be placed on the same athletic level as  the beloved Marchibroda. Heresy! As in, you know, Snell was pretty good, too.

Here are the two columns, the original and a second after he was "attacked" by the "Marchibroda Fan Club." Funny stuff here.
