Trucksville, last year’s play-off

point maker, will present the same
team it had last year, but lacking
ability. The champs are bound to
find the going tough.
Huntsville, led by Harold Brobst,
will also have about the same team,
one good enough to bring them
straight season honors last year.
Shavertown Methodist, with Earl
Fritzges serving as coach, lost a big .
player in Hons, but still has reserve
power to take up the slack with a
small but fast team.
St.. Therese’s, under the direction .
of Tom Makravitz, has the making
of a good team. With last year’s
team complete, four new players
joined the Saints with John Hardi-
man and Tony Greener to share in
starting roles.
East Dallas Methodist, led by
“Porky” Martin, a team that al-!
ways had plenty of speed, still re-
tains it and comes up with plenty
of height in signing Bob Berlew, 6
foot 6 inch giant. Berlew teamed
up with Fowler and Martin might
go all the way.
Alderson Methodist — Dick Sear-
foss will handle the reins of this
club and if it catches some of Dick's
spirit it could be very tough. Dick,
along with Garringer, formed two
of the highest scoring forwards last

decide whether he talks too
much or too little. Mel figures
that to the experts he probably
gabs too much, but to the non-
experts he doesn’t do enough
explaining of the play as it un-
folds.
Mel also handles telecasts for
the New York Yankee baseball
games during the horsehide sea-
son, but claims that he only
runs into trouble when the foot-
ball season comes around . . .
and the mail starts pouring in.
Most of it is in favor of more
talk. Mel adds, “I feel that I'm
shirking my duty ‘as a reporter
if I don’t try to help those who
don’t understand the intricate
plays and formations cooked up
by our college coaches.”
In order to do a good job of
explaining, he visits the training
camps of the teams he’s going to
talk about and watches films of
the teams in action. As he ex-
plains it, he’s really a scout for
television. You have to be your
own television scout when it
comes to choosing a TV set.
