PHONE — 717 - 477-5210 % 5 1 \ After John Pickett won the 165 pound bout by a 4-0 deci- sion, the score was Dallas 12, Central 20. Ron Dukinas, heavyweight for Dallas, did win 3-1, but, a dis- appointment to everyone— team, coach, fans—there was no 180 pounder for the Moun- taineers and they had to forfeit 6 points. The contest started with a decision for each team. Cen- tral’s Frank McAndrews took the 95 weight, 10-8 over Warren Boyes. Tex Wilson, Dallas, won 3 points for an 8-1 decision over 103 pound Joseph Hosey. Jay Martin, 112 for Central, pinned Mark Hicks in 3:02. Dallas came back with two decisions, Ray Yagloski over Mike Konnick, 2-0 and Chuck Baker over Bob Ciaruffeli, 8-1 in the 120 and 127 pound bouts. Dallas was leading 9-8. Then, Central pulled out in front, 3 points at a time, until Pickett took his. Central’s Bob Cieczko, 133, beat Rich Sheldon, 9-0; Bill Dougherty, 138 decisioned Fred Adams 8-2 and Peter Craig, 145, decisioned. Dukinas’ decision over Baron was by a score of 3-1. J-V victory Before the varsity meet, the Dallas J-V’s took Central, 22- 12. One of the most exciting bouts of the evening for those who knew both boys was the 138 pound match between Dick Whitlock and Charles Chase. Dick and Charles grew up in the same neighborhood and, though Dick is a Dallas high school student and Charles is a student at Central, they are good friends. Many of their mutual friends and neighbors watched the ex- citing contest between the two which was won by Dick, 3-1. Paul Beard, Dallas 95 pounder, pinned his opponent in second period. Dave Kulick, 103, also fashioned a pin for 5 points. : Joseph Hazeltine, another 103 pounder for Dallas, won a 7-0 decision. Jack Schneider, 120, and Dave Lohman, lost decisions. Gary Alters, Dick Whitlock and heavyweight Ray Goer- inger won decisions for Dallas. Ray Kadurka and Bob Long- more lost close decisions. By PAUL NIEZGODA John Carr’s Hanover Hawk- eyes copped a three way tie for Wyoming Valley Wrestling Conference honors as they served up three pins and seven decisions to overcome a be- wildered Lake-Lehman wrest- ling squad. The match, which was wit- nessed by some 3200 fans in the King’s College Gym, ended in a suprising 37-8 loss for the Knights, who had been sport- ing a 5-0 record to that point. Hanover’s victory, which gave them a 5-1 record, raised them to the crowded first place slot which they now share with Wyoming Valley West and Lake-Lehman. The lack of experience, which has plagued both ends of the Lehman line-up, was made evident as Hanover grapplers cashed in to collect five deci- sions and two pins from the light end of the squad and two decisions and a pin from weight classes 165 to Heavyweight. The Hawkeyes gave the first indications of their intentions as Tom Davis, a 95-pounder, showed Rick Wagner the gym lights in a mere 35 seconds. With a fast six points already on the scoreboard, Hanover continued to dominate the ac- Valley West downs Dallas at Kingston The basketball Mountaineers of Dallas Senior High School fell for another loss Friday night, being downed by Wyo- ming Valley West, 57-40 at the 109th Armory, Kingston. Coach Clint Brobst, of Dal- las, decided to take a shot at the slow-down style which proved to be jill-successful as the V.W. team cuased the ‘visitors numerous headaches with their strong full-court press. No one man stood out for the G ate of H ea ven locals but every player per- undefeated in league play Gate of Heaven School, Dal- las, won their ninth straight basketball game Sunday after- noon, defeating Immaculate Conception of West Pittston, 75-48. Gate of Heaven won the first half championship and is the only undefeated team in the eight member Valley League. The varsity line-up, coached by Pete Kozochok, includes Fannick, Delaney, Canfield, Onzik, Walinski, Noon, Alles, Yenasan, Shea, Kupstas, Pop- son and Davis. Ed Wilson coaches the junior varsity. On Wednesday night last, the team was to come against Holy Rosary of Dur- yea, considered by Coach Wil- son to be the toughest team Gate of Heaven must contend with. boat fees More than 94,000 Pennsyl- vanians who. registered boats last year will soon receive re- newal applications from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. formed effectively in his own position. Szela was shooting his usual game from the outside, with Lefko backing him up under the cords. 3 For the Kingston squad Brandstader, who was ranked 9th for the half, was deadly under the boards as he claimed 26-points for his team. Other top scorers for V.W. were Chopick, with 11, and Savage with 8. High men for the locals were Szela with 17, Lefko with 9, and Meyers with 6. From the onset of the game Valley West claimed the lead, but each team was hampered in scoring because of the slow- down style adapted by Dallas. The second was played in the same way as the first. Then in the third stanza the Dallas squad tried to do some catch- ing up, but the strong press of V.W. held them back. Valley West walked all over the Dallas team, in the final stanza, as they slowly built up their lead. Closing the contest V.W. 57, Dallas 40.

Dave Barvinski and Bob Ellis recorded near falls in the 103 and 112 pound divisions but they were unable to gain clamps over their Knight coun- terparts. Lake-Lehman’s Jack Davis was handed his second loss of the season by Bart Mahon. Mahon’s 6-1 victory allowed Davis to score his only point on a neutral and gave the Hawk- eyes a 150 lead in the team scoring figures. After gaining another deci- sion at 127, Hanover’s Bob Rother, at 133-pounds, turned in a pin over Lehman’s John Rogowski in a credible 3:33. This was John’s initial appear- ance in the Knight line-up for league competition. Jack Pape, the Hawkeye 138-pounder, copped a big vic- tory for the cause as he battled Ron Sorber to a 8-6 decision. Ron’s two point loss was the closest decision the Knights were destined to see for the remainder of the evening and also gave him his first loss in thirteen starts. With an overwhelming score of 26-0 on the board. Donnie Rae Spencer, one of the Laker’s undefeated grapplers, managed to snip the Hanover scoring skein by tacking Larry Ma- heady in 2:44. Timm Woodling, 6-0, man- aged to keep the delayed Knight scoring drive alive as he cap- tured a 12-2 decision over Han- over's 154-pound Tony Karpo- wich. The Hawkeyes unmercifully put an end to the Lehman scor- ing flurry as their 165 and 180- pound grapplers put together two more decisions and a pin to put the action far out of the grasp of the Lake-Lehman competitors. Hanover capped the event as their Heavyweight, Dave Fisher gained a pin over Jim Lamor- eaux in 5:21. Fisher had an advantage of about 70 pounds over his Lehman opponent. Lake-Lehman, who still must face Dallas, will probably end their season with a loop record of 6-1 and a share of conference honors. Hanover will meet a tough Central Catholic squad but their 5-1 record does not appear in jeapordy.

Knights drop second-half opener 105-68 By JIM ZBICK GAR used a 41-point fourth period, and the shooting wiz- ardry of Dale Rapson and Murice Peoples, to hand the Knights their fourth straight set-back, 10568, in a game played on the Grenadiers com- pact floor last Friday. The dazzling play of Peoples and Rapson, who combined to score one point more than the Knights total team output, could. not overshadow the great individual performance turned in by LL Todd Lozo. Both teams traded buckets early but by the end of the first period, the Knights found’ themselves 11 points behind the free-wheeling Hilltoppers. A 21-point second period upped GAR'’s halftime lead to 47-23 as the high-flying Peoples was in control of the hoop (19 pts.) as well as the back-boards. Bill Kern’s 13 points held the Knights together in the first half, swishing his first three attempts of the game. GAR came into the third period with very cold shooting hands, pro- ducing only 2 points through the first four and a half min- utes of the stanza while the Knights patiently chopped into that big lead. Going into the explosive final period, the Grenadiers still had a padded lead of 64-48. The league’s leading scorer, Dale Rapson showed why he’s the Loop’s top gun as he knocked in 21 of his teams 41 last-period points. Prior to the final stanza, Rapson had been having a rough night, as he committed some sloppy throwing errors besides having a difficult time hitting his outside bombs. Many of his final goals came on in- side drives ‘and short jump- shots. The name Peoples was also a discouraging word to LL fol- lowers as he got his hands on 18 rebounds, topping this figure off by scraping up 32 points. Peoples amazing display in- cluded an unbelievable 5-foot, off-balance shovel-shot in the final moments which sent the Grenadiers over the hundred mark. The great all-around play of Todd Lozo was just as resound- ing. Lozo won the big rebound- ing battle by claiming 20 and also found some time in be- tween to toss in 25 points. The first time these two teams met, Lozo- also out-re- bounded Peoples, 11-10. The Knights also received some great support from sophomore Bill Kern, who racked up 22 points and collected 9 rebounds. GAR’s 41-point outburst was the most any team has scored in one period this year in league play. Rapson’s 37 points also established a league-high for this season. Todd Lozo’s 20 rebounds and 25 points were both team-highs for the Knights this season. The Grenadiers connected on a lofty 50 percent of their shots from the floor while the Knights shot 38 percent.

By DAVE GRIFFITHS Joe Paterno, head football coach at Penn State University held a press conference in Scranton last week. That in itself isn’t news. But the answer given to one of the questions posed by the writer provided a basis for this column. I asked Paterno why Penn State had failed to re- cruit any players from Northeastern Pennsylvania in the last four years. And Joe's answer came as a bombshell to the entire crew of reporters in attend- ance at the conference. “To be quite frank with you, Dave,” said the Penn State mentor, “there have not been a lot of great football players in the area in the last couple of years who were really good students.” And Paterno continued, “When I say great players, I’m talking about players we could recruit and win with. Now there are a lot of fine athletes, a lot of fine football players in the area but they are not good students.” “Are you saying that the youngsters from the Scranton-Wilkes Barre area don’t measure up scho- lastically?’’ we asked. “No, I'm saying that just the combination of a great athlete and an outstanding student hasn't shown up that frequently in the last few years,” said Paterno. This is where Paterno and the coaches and scho- lastic leaders from our area come to the parting of the ways. Penn State graduates who are listed in regional coaching ranks make it plain that the Nittany Lions have ignored our area. And, added one former Penn State great, when Paterno says the combination of great athlete and good student is a rarity—why °* doesn’t he go all the way and admit it’s a rarity in every part of the country. One of the boys recommended to Penn State is now starring at Syracuse University. He wanted so badly to attend Penn State. They ignored him but scholastically he rated in the top tenth of his class. And since moving to Syracuse has been on the dean’s list. In addition, he made the varsity in his sopho- more year. Requirements at Penn State for admission are not exceptionally high by most standards. Paterno said in recruiting athletes, we seek out those indi- viduals who rate in the top half of their class and score at least a thousand in the College Boards. Certainly, there must be—and a briefcheck bears me out—many top rated grid stars in our high schools who meet those requirements. Of course, sadly enough, there are many who don’t. But this pattern holds true throughout the nation. So, Joe Paterno’s answer to our question as to why Penn State doesn’t do more recruiting in our area doesn’t ring true. Only Paterno and his staff know the real reason. But I'll give them a clue. A few years ago, a quar- terback at West Scranton High School named Paul Dennebaum was the most sought after player in area history. Rip Engle, then coach of the Lions, was certain he had corralled the brilliant youngster But Dennebaum changed his mind at the last minute and enrolled at Harvard. Since that time, Penn State has shown little or no interest in area scholastic football greats. But Penn State’s Joe Paterno needn’t WOFTy about “our kids.” They're going to some of the best schools in the nation—Princeton, Dartmouth, Syra- cuse, Notre Dame, Temple, Bucknell, Delaware, Southern Claifornia—yes, wherever great football is played you'll find kids from Northeastern Pennsyl- vania on the rosters. ji 2% Penn State plays great football . . . second best in the nation, if you believe the polls. But on the road to greatness—many youngsters from this area paved the way to the success Penn State now enjoys. We do have several players who meet Paterno’s specifications of ‘‘great athlete and good student’ — BUT Penn State isn’t interested. = | PARAMOUNT r= HELD OVER— SECOND BIG WEEK!
