They won the Open Cup in a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kickers with Noha scoring all five Philly goals. Philadelphia repeated as league and Open Cup champions in 1960-1961. While Noha did not lead the league in scoring, he was the league MVP. He was still listed with Philadelphia when he appeared with the national team in 1964.
