Despite some astounding
upsets, True Grid kept pace
with his previous successes.:
The best known professional
predictor—Major Hoople—and
True Grid differed on 11
selections. The outcome: True
Grid, 9; Major Hoople 2. The
past week’s record was 69 right,
17 wrong and one tie—ah .802
percentage! It would be un-
forgiveable not to mention
Navy’s fantastic upset over
Duke. It was a pleasure to miss
that one! All major powers
except Notre Dame and
Stanford held true to form, but a
number of nationally prominent
powers were strongly tested—
including Air Force, Tennessee,
Alabama and Auburn.
The schedule for Oct. 30 offers
the most interesting contests to
date. True Grid’s critical
evaluation indicates that the
potential for significant upsets
will abound this weekend. The
top 10 teams will encounter
tougher opposition and there
are ®Y number of close con-
ference clashes from the Ivy
League to the Pacific Eight.
Even True Grid will feel for-
tunate to get more than 70
percent of these contests right.
As in past weeks, the games
involving the nation’s top teams
will receive special com-
mentary The winners are listed
in italics.
Alabama at Mississippi: The
Crimson Tide could make this
one a bloodbath. However,
‘Bama could be looking a week
ah®i toward their showdown
with L.S.U. Mississippi State
just lost to Tennessee 10-7 last
week: but in spite of these
con®erations, look for Johnny
Musso to set more records as
the Tide rolls to another victory.
Florida at Auburn: The
Gators have been a dismal
disappointment (2-5). They did
upset Florida State and
squeaked by Maryland in their
last two outings, but Auburn’s
Tigers remain undefeated and
may be ready to fulfill their full
potential. The Tigers could
swamp the Gators.
Colorado at Nesbraska: The
nation’s number one team gets
its most severe test to date. The
Buffalos have lost: only to
Oklafywma, but by a 45-17
marg¥n. Although Nebraska
will win, they will not do so as
impressively as Oklahoma.
‘Nelgaska wins but loses ground
to O%lahoma for the nation’s
number one ranking.
Indiana at Michigan: The top
against the bottom of the Big
Ten. The Hoosiers have been
improving weekly but they are
far from ready for the
Wolverines. Michigan will put
on an awesome display of of-
fensive power and defensive
strength before the Ann Arbor
crowd.
Iowa State at Oklahoma: The
_ Cyclones have won five and lost
only to Colorado. However,
th@x victories have been
against lightly regarded op-
ponents and the record-setting
Sooner offense will give the
Cyclones a taste of big time
fojghall. Nobody has been able
to’ stop Pruitt, Crosswhite,
Mildren and Company, and
Iowa. State won’t either. Look
for another 50 point-plus per-
formance at Norman, Okla.
Louisiana State at
Mississippi: In years gone by
this loomed as a more in-
teresting contest. L.S.U. has
had a week off after their
lackluster performance at
Kentucky, and Ole Miss is 5-2
but far from its past posture as
a national power. The pride of
the Rebels will make it a tough
cd@iiest but L.S.U. should win in
a close contest.
Ohio State at Minnesota: The
Gophers have put up valiant
struggles against some top
notch opponents only to lose on
costly errors. The Buckeyes
have been invincible after their
loss to Colorado. This could be
closer than the experts an-
ticipate, but the Buckeyes
should win a fiercely contested
battle with a strong second half
performance.
Navy at Notre Dame: The
Middies executed the upset of
the week by surprising Duke 15-
14, and the Irish received their
annual upset by Southern
California. Irish tempers will
flare as they vent their frustra-
tions on the outmanned Mid-
shipmen. The Irish offense
‘finally gets into high gear in a
one-sided victory, and Navy’s
win streak ends at one in a row.
Penn State at West Virginia:
The Nittany Lions offense,
second in the nation, should be
able to roll up the score on the
Mountaineers. West Virginia is
6-1 but has had to struggle
against the likes of Temple,
Towa,
Grid
Richmond and William and
Mary. It will be all uphill for the
Mountaineers as they try to
prevent Penn State’s 13th
straight victory in this series.
Syracuse at Pittsburgh:
Although neither team is a
national power, this one should
be of interest to Eastern fans.
After a hesitant start, Syracuse
put it all together last week
against Holy Cross (63-21). Pitt
started well and has gone flat in
losing four of their last five.
Give the Orangemen an edge on
momentum in this traditional
showdown.
The fortunes of pro football
continue to be more difficult to
anticipate than collegiate level
contests. Last week’s record
was nine right and four wrong:
The season’s slate reads 41 right
and 22 wrong with two ties for a
.651 percentage. This week’s
schedule should be a bit easier
and enable True Grid to raise
his overall percentage—
although it will take consider-
able consistency to overcome
the first two weeks of upsets!
Here are the predictions for the
coming weekend: Baltimore
over Pittsburgh, St. Louis over
Buffalo, Miami over Los
Angeles, San Francisco over
New England, San Diego over
the New York Jets, Minnesota
over the New York Giants,
Dallas over Chicago, Denver
over Philadelphia, Washington
over New Orleans, Cincinnati

Sportsmen Urged
To Avoid Littering
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission urges the state’s
sportsmen to create a better
image for themselves and to
help insure the future
availability of hunting lands by
exerting special efforts to make
hunting seasons litter-free in
1971.
The sharp awareness among
the general public of our en-
vironmental problems will
provide an opportunity for
sportsmen in the common-
wealth to regain some ground
lost in the past through sen-
seless, thoughtless acts by a few
persons who left behind stark
evidence of their presence.
Landowners can’t be ex-
pected to permit hunting when
intruders use property as a
garbage and trash depository.
Littering on public property is
just as bad or worse, because
this is an offense against all of
society and everyone has to pay
to help clean up the mess.
Litter-bugs are reminded that
they face $25 fines and possible
loss of hunting licenses

Black Knights Lose
To Warriors, 23-8
by Tony Ferrara
The Black Knights of Lake-
Lehman High School, thwarted
by a few key mistakes, fell in
defeat to the Wyoming Area
Warriors Saturday afternoon at
Lehman.
The opening kickoff was
driven by Wyoming to the
Knights’ 30 where they ran out
of downs and gave up the ball to
the Knights. Here two turnovers
occurred in succession. The
Knights lost a fumble on a
pitchout attempt and on the
third play of this Warrior series,
a Don McDermott pass was
picked off by Knight Bill Kalish.
The Knights drove to about
midfield where they ran out of
downs and set the Warriors up
in scoring position. With a few
quick runs by Dave Amico and
Mickey Calabrese;ithe Warriors
soon moved the ball to the 15.
From here, McDermott slid into
paydirt following a fake to
Calabrese. The extra point,
kicked by Harry O’Dell, was
good-setting the score at 7-0.
Following the Wyoming
kickoff the Knights were unable
to keep up a drive and were
forced to punt. The punt was
called back on a penalty and the
Knights were again in punting
position. This time, Knight
punter Gary Baker could not
hang on to the ball, fell on it, and
was pounced on by Fumanti on
the one yard line. McDermott
slid in for his second TD and
connected on a pass to Fumanti
for the conversion, setting the
score at 15-0, with 29 seconds
left in the half.
Following another pass in-
tercepted by Knight Bill
Kalish, the Knights drove for
their only score of the game;
the key play of the drive was a
long Stevens to DeCesaris pass
which put the Knights on their
foe’s five yard line. Two plays
later, Bob Engle drove in for the
score . and cracked the same
side for the two-point con-
version. The score was now 15-8,
while the game came to life for
Knight fans with a close game
and 10:50 left to play.
The Knights stopped the
Warriors on the LL LL 18 on a
drive and had a chance to keep
possession and possibly score
and pull ahead. On a fourth and
third play, the Knights gambled
for the first down from their
own 30, but were stopped when a
Stevens pass fell incomplete,
giving the Warriors another
chance to score.
They did just that. On the
second play of the series,
Calabrese slipped off three
Knight tacklers, and ran 21
yards to the goal. McDermott
smashed the right side to end
the scoring at 23-8.
The lead rusher for the tilt
was Calabrese, totalling 131
yards in 20 carries. For the
Knights, Bob Engle led with 71
yards, putting his total yardage
at over 1100 for the season.
Angelo DeCesaris played a fine
offensive game as well as
defense for the Knights. Dave
Steltz and Bill Lozo stood out
offensively and defensively
also.
The win for Wyoming Area
retains their top position in the
A: Division of the Wyoming
Valley Conference, while the
Knights now sport a season
record of five wins and two
losses. The Knights now have
sole possession of first place in
the B Division with a 2-0 record
there and will fight their third B
Division tilt against Hanover
Friday night.

Hunter Safety Course
Minimum of Four Hours
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission reminds
youngsters (and parents) that a
minimum of four hours of in-
struction is required for a
hunter safety course. There is
no maximum, and some classes
run beyond the minimum
permissible.
Some hunter safety in-
structors break up the course
into several segments,
presenting several hours of
instruction at one time and the
remainder of the course in a
later class session or sessions.
Apparently some persons
have seen several dates listed
for a hunter safety course and
have been under the impression
that it is necessary to report on
only one date. As a result, they
miss the first date and then find
that they are reporting for only
one-half or one-third of the
course, thereby failing to meet
the required minimum.
If there is any question about
how often it is necessary to
report to complete the full
course, inquiries should be
directed to the hunter safety
instructor who is teaching the
course or to the district game
protector.

Nanticoke Rallies to Defeat
by Jon Jay LaBerge
Dallas lost its first home
game of the 1971 season
Saturday as Nanticoke rallied
back from a 14-0 first half score
to defeat the Mountaineers, 34-
24.
Neither team could put their
offense together early in the
first period with the deepest
penetration being to the Nan-
ticoke 25. Near the end of the
period Dallas began to move as
they took possession of the ball
following a Trojan punt on their
own 30. In seven plays Dallas
moved in for its first score with
Charlie Griffin carrying on five
plays including his 32-yard
scoring run. Kostrobala put
Dallas in the lead 7-0 with his
successful conversion with nine
seconds on the clock.
The Dallas defense held again
and forced Nanticoke to punt on
the series following the kickoff.
Griffin led the Mountaineers to
their second score by covering
33 yards of the 53 yard drive.
The score came on a pitch from
Gary Arcuri to Griffin who
covered the final 25 yards and
recorded his 10th touchdown of
the season.
Nanticoke began the
comeback on the following
series as they ran off 12 plays
and 62 yards with quarterback
Greg Snyder sneaking in from
the 3, to put the Trojans on the
scoreboard with 4:05 remaining
in the half. Jim Wisnieski ended
the threat of a two-point con-
version as he trapped Snyder in
the backfield without allowing
him to unload the ball.
A Mountaineer fumble on the
following series gave Nanticoke
the ball on the Dallas 30. Three
plays later Chet Chapracki
- broke away for 15 yards and his
first of three touchdowns. A
pass from Snyder to Ganski tied
the score at 14.
With only 1:09 remaining,
Gary Arcuri showed he could
move Dallas as he completed
two passes, one to Rich Miskiel
for 23 yards, and another to Bud
McHale for 21; and he ran for 15
and 13 yards to put the ball on
the Trojan 6 with only two
seconds showing on the clock.
Griffin kicked his second field
goal of the year-this one of 23
yards, to put Dallas back on top
at half, 17-14.
On the first series of the
second half, Dallas moved the
ball to the Trojan 27 before they
ran out of downs and were
forced to give up the ball.
Nanticoke took the lead for
the first time after moving 71
yards in seven plays, including
a 29-yard pass from Snyder to
Matusek. The score came on a
four yard run by Chapracki.
The attempt for the two-point
conversion failed, resulting in a
20-17 score.
Dallas came right back with a
score on next series. The drive
started with a 37-yard pass from
Arcuri to Jay Jones to put the
ball on the Nanticoke 27. Rob
Goeringer, back from a two
week ‘absence due to injury,
accounted for some crucial
yardage in the series, including
a 14-yard reception on 3rd and
15, and a one-yard plunge on the
following play for the first down
at the Nanticoke 4. Three plays
later he broke across the right
side of the line for two yards and
the score. Kostrobala added his
sixteenth consecutive PAT kick
to put Dallas on top 24-20.
Nanticoke countered the
Mountaineer score with another
scoring drive starting on their
own 32. Nine plays later
Chapracki skirted his right end
for eight yards and his final
score of the contest. Snyder
kicked the conversion to put the
Trojans in command for good
with 7:56 remaining.
Dallas was halted of = the
ensuing series, but appeared to
have cornered Nanticoke on
their own 2 followings a 60-yard
punt by Roger Howell. From
there Nanticoke played control
football running 11 plays and
covering 98 yards while running
out all but 45 seconds in the
contest. Kovalich cut around his
right end for 27 yards and the
game’s final score. Snyder
again converted the kick suc-
cessfully to make the final score
34-24.
«3 Mountaineers at Dallas, 34-24
Bob Saffian
Kovali¢h led all rushers with
192 yards with Chapracki ad-
ding 106 yards and three touch-
downs to the Trojan attack.
Griffin led the Mountaineers
with 109 yards on 17 carries and
a 6.4 yard average.
Roger Howell and Jim
Wisnieske both played fine
games for the Mountaineers
defense accounting for nearly 30
tackles between them.
Dallas travels to Trippi
Stadium next week Saturday to
meet the Pittston Area Patriots
at 7:45 p.m.
Quarterback Gary Arcuri, No. 16 for Dallas, fakes a handoff and
runs to advance the ball 20 yards against the Trojans of Nan-
