played, followed by the intro-
duction of players. Sponsored

to become better acquainted
with team personnel.
The Booster Club will present
the first in a series of game
films Sept. 8. They will be
*
at Dallas tonight
shown every Tuesday night

program, initiated last season,
is made possible through the
cooperation of Coach Jones and
his- staff, along with camera-
men Tudor Ellis and Joe Katy].
It resulted in football interest
reaching an all-time high.
Films will be shown at the
Brothers Four Restaurant,
Main Street, Dallas, starting at

sports talk
by George Eget
Baseball’s National League
East is having quite a race this
year. Even though the race has
five teams involved, two of
those teams have losing
records.
Pennsylvania has two teams
in the race. It has the current
top team, the Pittsburg Pirates,
and the Philadelphia Phillies, a
team with a below 500 record.
However, the Pirates are losing
lately and the Phillies are
winning
At press time, the Pirates
were 70-63 for a .526 percentage.
The ago Cubs were in
second piace, only one game be-
-—- hind. The New York Mets were
one and a half games back. The
‘St. Louis Cardinals were six
~ games back. But the “Fighting
“ Phillies” with a 62-70 record,
. were only seven and a half
games behind.
The team that had the lowest
winning percentage, but still
won a pennant was the 1959 L.A.
Dodgers with an 88-68 record for
a .564 winning percentage.
~~ Coach Roland Schmidt of the
Wilkes College Colonels had 99
players show up Aug. 31 for the
first practice of Wilkes’ 25th
season.
The Colonels open Sept. 26
with Lycoming College—and
they need a new quarterback to
replaced June graduate Joe
Zakowskr. The candidates for
the position are Dennis Brew, 5-
10, 175-pound senior; John
Payer, 6-2, 195-pound junior;
and Mike Barski, 6-1, a 175-
pound sophomore. Brew is the
only with varsity ex-
perience’
Wilkes has won 37 out of their
last 40 games and has 31 letter-
men returning. :
Penn State has released its
1970 football preview. Joe
Paterno’s Lions have many
records to uphold this fall. State
‘has a 22-game winning streak, a
30-game non-losing record and
31 consecutive non-losing
seasons dating back to 1939. The
Lions have had two 11-0 seasons
in a row and two Orange Bowl
. victories.
Concerning the winning
streak, Coach Paterno said,
“We have enough problems
with things we can do some-
thing abgut. If you get worked
up E streak, all of
a sudden you don’t have one. We
don’t want to manufacture pro-
blems. I expect the 1970 team to
have the same major quality
others lve had in the past-
pride ifSthemselves, pride in
winning. Other things generally
fall into place. You have to
develop poise—that comes with
experience.”
Among the problems facing
State this year, is finding a
quarterback to replace Chuck
Burkhart, an average passer,
‘but a good field general with an
all-winning record in college
starts. The Lions have senior
Mike Cooper and junior Bob
Parsons. In last spring’s Blue-
White game, a scrimmage con-
cluding spring practice, Cooper
completed 11 of 22 passes for 191
yards and four touchdowns and .
Parsons was 15 of 20 for 267
yards and three touchdowns.
Another questionmark for
State will be the defense. The
1969 defense not only stopped
opponents, but could also score
on them. The unit had three All-
Americans)Mike Reid, Dennis
Onkotz and Neal Smith) and
played together for three years.
They also stayed healthy.
What about this year?
Paterno has made some
switches to strengthen the
defense. Senior ‘Charlie Zapiec
has been moved from offensive
guard to inside linebacker and
Gary Hull from defensive end to
outside linebacker. Mike Smith
will return to the secondary
after being a linebacker for a
while.
The offense appears to be
much stronger this year. The
team will pass more this year
and Cooper, Parsons and sopho-
more John Hufnagle are good
runners. Franco Harris and
Lydell Mitchell should have fine
years running for yardage and
catching passes on plays during
which they flood zones after
coming out of the backfield.
The schedule is going to be
tough this year because all op-
ponents will have two common
objectives—to beat the three
time Eastern champions and to
end the nation’s longest winning
streak.
Navy is the Lion’s opening
game opponent at Beaver
Stadium on Sept. 19. Navy
should be an improved team be-
cause it had an undefeated
Plebe team last fall. The Mid-
shipmen have also scheduled
Colgate on Sept. 12 to free them
of opening game jitters.
Colorado will try to get
revenge for the Big Eight at
Colorado on Sept. 26. The Lions
travel to Wisconsin on Oct. 3
and to Boston College on Oct. 10.
Top rival Syracuse will invade
Beaver Stadium for Home
coming on Oct. 17. Syracuse will
try to avenge last year’s 15-14
defeat.
State travels to Army on Oct.
24th and returns home to play
West Virginia on Oct. 31. The
Lions play Maryland away on
Nov. 7 and entertain Ohio
University on Nov. 14. This is
Band Day, on which high school
bands from throughout the state
assemble and put on a com-
bined half-time show. The re-
gular season ends on Nov. 21
when Pittsburgh plays at State
in the traditional game.

Blue Knights
open season
Marv Antinnes, Wyoming
Seminary’s director of ath-
letics, has been running a foot-
ball camp for the Blue Knights
prior to their 1970 season. The
Seminary Knights enter the 1970
pigskin campaign with an im-
pressive 7-0 record from last
year. Marv says it won’t be so
much a question of how to im-
prove on that record as how to
maintain it.
Coach Antinnes’ camp started
Aug. 31, and will end Sept. 5
with a pre-season varsity
scrimmage on the fifth.
Seminary’s pre-season
opener will be the Perkiomen
School Sept. 19 in Pennsburg.
The football schedule at Semin-
ary will continue through Sep-
tember and October, and will
wind up with the homecoming
game against Blair Academy of
Blairstown, N.J., Nov. 7.
The new Wilkes courts are
coming along fine. The courts
are painted green with red trim.

washboards that were there!
