True
As my more faithful readers
may recall, I predicted that last
week would be the week of
upsets in collegiate football.
True Grid indicated that most
prognosticators would be for-
tunate to hit a .700 percentage
for the difficult schedule. Well,
True Grid was accurate as
usual—major upsets abounded
as Texas A&M beat Arkansas,
Illinois whipped Northwestern,
Iowa edged Wisconsin, Missi-
ssippi surprised L.S.U.,
Michigan State trounced
Purdue, Pitt came from behind
over Syracuse and Vanderbilt
beat Tulane. True Grid's log for
this trying week—56 right and
24 wrong, for a .700 percentage,
precisely -the percentage pre-
dicted. This brings the season’s
record to 409 right, 128 wrong
and 7 games ended in ties—a
762 aviwage.
The cOming weekend will not
offer any relief. While the major
powers will encounter fairly
light opposition, there are an
unusually high number of very
evenly matched contests—es-
pecially in the Big Ten, the
Southwest Conference and the
Ivy League. For those of you
who wager modest amounts on
football card—save your money
this week!
As in past weeks, 10 leading
games will receive True Grid’s
speciiggreview. The winners are
listed \n italics.
..Alabama at Louisiana State:
Bear Bryant claims this is the
best Cian Tide squad he has
fielded ‘to date, and their per-
formance has supported that
contention. With the loss of All-
American Tommy Cassanova,
L.S.U. has faltered in its last
twe outings. The Tide will not be
stemmed as it wins a tough one
under the lights.
..Mississippi State at Auburn:
As True Grid indicated, Auburn
would come to life against
Florida—they did with a zestful
40-7 win to remain undefeated.
Miss. State gave Tennessee a
good struggle but was trounced
by Alabama 41-10. Auburn’s
Tigers will be out to match
‘Bama’§®nargin.
Baylor at Texas: For the first
time in years most members of
the Scuthwestern Conference
realizfbat they have a chance
against the hobbled Longhorns.
Look for Texas to sharpen their
blunted horns against the Bears
before a home crowd. The eyes
of Texas will watch as the Long-
horns win big once again.
Boston College at Syracuse:
Obviously an upset is an-
ticipated. After last week’s
stunning fourth quarter loss to
Pitt, the Orangemen will be in-
tent on salvaging some pride
from a disappointing season.
Based on records and statistics,
the Eggles are a better team.
Howe®=r, feeling prevails. over
reason and Syracuse receives
the edge.
Iowa at Michigan: The Hawk-
eyesMvave been improving
weekly under the tutelage of
new coach Frank Lauterber and
last week’s upset win over Wis-
consin may mark the start of
brighter days at Iowa. The third
ranked Wolverines also are
getting stronger, though, so
postpone Iowa’s rebirth for at
least one more week as they are
soundly whipped by Michigan at
Ann Arbor. :
Iowa State at Nebraska: Iowa
State has lost only to Colorado
and Oklahoma while’ winning
five ggmes, and most of you had
the ®pportunity to watch
Nebraska soundly defeat
Colorado last Saturday. Iowa
State is having its best season in
years, but Nebraska is the de-
fending national champion and
remains number one. The Corn-
huskers will beat Iowa State but
not as impressively as Okla-
homa did.
Maryland at Penn State: The
Nittany Lions cannot take the
Terps too lightly: Although 2-6,
the Terrapins have been in all of
these contests against some
formidable foes. After wrap-
ping up the Lambert Trophy
against West Virginia, the Lions
will not be up for this one.
Nevertheless, the power of the
East should prevail while giving
their excellent second units a
chance to see plenty of action.
Michigan State at Ohio State:
The Spartans put it all together
against Purdue last week in a
43-10 blitz. As True Grid
predicted. Ohio State had to’
come from behind to edge
Minnesota 14-12. The Buckeyes
have already lost one this year
in Columbus—they rarely lose
two at home in one year. Ohio
State will have to contain the
Grid
flashy Eric Allen—if they, do,
they should win.
Oklahoma at Missouri: With
the loss of Dan Devine to Green
Bay, Missouri’s football for-
tunes have ebbed. The Tigers
defense should provide the
nation’s best offense with a field
day; the potent Sooners should
get about 5) points on the board
against the rebuilding Tigers.
With another impressive vic-
tory, Oklahoma moves up
closer to Nebraska for the
nation’s top ranking.
Notre Dame at Pittsburgh:
The Irish defense continues to
support their bankrupt offense.
The Panthers scored an im-
pressive upset over Syracuse
last week, but inconsistency and
errors have plagued Pitt so far.
They cannot afford such
luxuries against Notre Dame.
The Irish defense does it again
as the search for an effective
offensive formula continues.
Professional football con-
tinues to unfold major upsets on
a weekly basis. True Grid did
see Miami upsetting Los
Angeles but was surprised by
Chicago’s defeat of Dallas,
Atlanta’s victory over
Cleveland, Philadelphia’s
second straight win over
Denver and Houston’s win over
the faltering young Bengals.
The record last week was seven
right, four wrong and two ties.
The season’s record to date
stands at 48 right, 26 wrong and
4 ties for a .649 percentage.
True Grid’s selections for the
upcoming weekend are: Miami
over Buffalo, Houston over New
England, Kansas City over the
New. York Jets, Atlanta over
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh over
Cleveland, Dallas over St.
Louis, Chicago over Green Bay,
San Francisco over Minnesota,
San Diego over the New York

Dallas surprised the Patriots
of Pittston Area with a go-ahead
touchdown with only 23 seconds
remaining to win 29-23 at the
losers’ stadium Saturday night.
The Mountaineers led twice in
the see-saw battle before Rob
Goeringer put them ahead for
good in the closing seconds.
Neither team moved the pig-
skin on their initial series but
when Dallas got the ball follow-
ing a Pittston punt on their own
46, they mounted their first
scoring drive. The big play of
the series came on an end run
by quarterback Gary Arcuri for
28 yards which put the ball on
the 11. Three plays later Charlie
Griffin powered in for Dallas’
first score midway through the
first period.
Turnovers controlled the
beginning of the second quarter
as Bruce ‘‘Tex’’ Dadson cover-
ed a loose ball for the Mountain-
eers at the 46. Three plays later,
Len Pesolini got the ball back
for the Mountaineers at the 46.
Three plays later, Len Pesolini
got the ball back for the Patriots
as he intercepted a Mountaineer
pass. On the ensuing series
Pittston began their first
threatening drive as they
managed their initial first down
of the game. With the ball at the
Mountaineer 12, quarterback
Ray Musto chose to go to the
air, but Gary Kostrobala killed
the Patriot threat as he inter-
cepted on the goal line and
brought it out to the 22.
Following a Mountaineer
punt, Pittston regained the ball
on the Dallas 47. Two big run-
ning plays covered the distance
with the first call going to Jim
Cefalo for 22 yards and the next
to Dave Bachkosky for 25 and
the score. With the kick by Bob
Pointon, Pittston area led 7-6.
On the following kickoff
Wayne Evans regained the lead
THE DALLAS POST, NOV. 4, 1971
Mounts Surprise Patriots;
Take Lead in Final Seconds
for the Mounts as he scampered
85 yards for Dallas’ second
score. After a key block by Gary
Kostrobala near mid-field,
Wayne sprinted the remaining
distance untouched. A penalty
moved the ball to the 1% for the
PAT which went to Charlie
Griffin who erashed in for 2 to
account for the final points in
the half.
As in the first half, neither
team could capitalize on their
first series. On Pittston’s
second possession, they moved
the ball 60 yards in six plays
with the scoring play coming on
a pass from Musto to Peso-
tini for 19 yards. Cefalo scored
the two-point conversion after
taking a pitch from quarterback
Musto.
As the final period started,
the pace of the game quickened.
The game, up to this point, had
been relatively free of penal-
ties, but following a run by Lou
Spiccioli, tempers flared and
resulted in the first of two un-
sportsmanlike conduct penal-
ties against Dallas and the
ejection of Mountaineer Bob
Considine from the game.
Following the second 15 yard
penalty, the Patriots had the
ball on the Dallas 15. Four plays
later Cefalo blasted off-tackle
for one yard and the score to put
Pittston in command tempor-
arily, 23-14.
On the next series the
Mountaineers countered with
an 8 play, 66 yard drive to bring
Dallas within one, 22-23. The
march was aided by two 15 yard
Patriot penalties for pass inter-
ference. Gary Arcuri accounted
for 31 yards on three carries in-
cluding the four-yard scoring
run with 5:47 remaining. The
two point conversion came on a
pass from Arcuri to Rob Goer-
inger.
Two costly penalties ham-
pered the Patriot offense and
they were forced to punt with
little more than three minutes
remaining. :
On the first play of the Dallas
drive, Gary Arcuri completed a
pass to flanker Bud McHale who
turned the apparent 10 yard
gain into a 53-yard gainer to
give Dallas a first down on the
16. Charlie Griffin crashed:
through the center of the Patriot
line and cut to his right for 11
yards. Three consecutive
carries by Rob Goeringer
covered the remaining five
yards to put Dallas ahead 28-23
with only 23 seconds remaining.
The kick by Kostrobala ac-
counted for the final point to
give Dallas the 29-23 victory.
Pittston’s desperate attempt
to score was ended as Moun-
taineer middle linebacker and
defensive captain Roger Howell
grabbed a Patriot pass and re-
turned it to the 20. Time expired
. with out the Mountaineers
running another play. Cefalo
was the game’s high rusher as
he accounted for 109 yards in
the Patriot’s losing effort.
Griffin, the conferences’s
third leading scorer with 74
points, tallied 89 yards on 20
carries and accounted for a
touchdown and a two-point
conversion.
The 85-yard scoring kickoff
return by Wayne Evans ties him
for the longest kickoff return in
the conference.
Tex with nine individual
stops, and a fumble recovery,
Jim Wisnieski with nine stops
and Roger Howell with seven
individual hits and an inter-
ception anchored the Mountain-
eer defense.

Knights Lead B Division;
Bob Engle Leading Scorer
by Tony Ferrara
The Knights of Coach Ray-
-mond Caucci rallied for 22
points in the second half to
erase a seven Hawkeye seven
point edge and control the game
Friday night at Hanover Sta-
dium.
Senior Bob Engle scored two
touchdowns in the game to
make him the leading scorer of
the Wyoming Valley Conference
with 13 touchdowns, and four
two-point conversions for a total
of 86 points. Meyers’ Tony Sch-
waub runs a close second with
85 points.
The Hawkeyes, receiving the
opening kickoff on their own 37-
yard line, used Randy Carlos
and Joe Long to get an early
score. Carlos capped the 63-
yard drive on a four-yard dive
followed by a successful PAT by
Shafer.
The rest of the first half was
merely a battle of punts, inter-
rupted only once by a Tarutis
pass intercepted by Knight de-.
fender, Bill Kalish. Thus the
Hawkeyes left the field at half-
time with an encouraging 7-0
lead.
The Knights, with a reputa-
tion of being a second-half
team, illustrated this chara-
cteristic by exploding in the
opening minutes of the second
half. They drove the opening
kickoff 54 yards in four plays.
The fourth play was a dive by
Engle from the two, followed by
a keeper by QB Tony Stevens
for the two point conversion,
giving his team the edge 8-7.
Just minutes later, as the
Hawkeyes had possession of the
ball, Tarutis went to the air.
Knight defender Bill Lozo inter-
cepted the hard-thrown pass
and out-maneuvered his pur-
suers to score on a 45-yard run.
The PAT failed, and the ball
game was now turned around
with an important 14-7 Knights’
edge.
The Hawkeyes, after re-
ceiving the kickoff, threatened
by moving the ball down to the
L-L 23 on short runs by Carlos
and Salsavage. Their con-
fidence was downed however,
when a loose ball was recovered
by Bill Kalish. The Knights now
threatened but failed to come
through on a fourth-and-one
play on the Hawks’ 31. This was
the story for the rest of this
quarter and most of the last.
It was not until the last
quarter that the scoring was
finalized. The Knights received
possession on a punt to the
Hawks’ 33 yard line. It was
Engle all the way as he carried
seven times for the 33 yards and
the three-yard TD run. Lozo
was successful on his conver-
sion run good for a 22-7 finish.
The Knights strenghtened
their lead in the B division
standings, now boasting ‘a 3-0
record, while the Hawks remain
0-3 for the year in “B* ‘division'* *!

Pilot Project Encourages
Opening Hunting Lands
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission and private in-
dustry have joined hands to
launch a pilot project designed
to make or keep more privately-
owned land available for public
hunting.
The project, called the Forest
Wildlife Cooperative Program,
will be similar to the Game
Commission’s Farm Game
Cooperative Program, which
has opened to sport hunting
nearly two million acres of
private agricultural land.
Under the Forest Wildlife
Program, the Game Com-
mission will provide an ad-
ditional degree of protection to
large forested tracts. In return,
owners will make the properties
available to sportsmen.
Certain roads into or across
the tracts will be closed to
public usage and posted with
Juaser
Game Commission signs. The
responsiblity for enforcement of
regulations governing the
posted roads will rest with the
Game Commission.
In the past, some in-
considerate hunters abused the
privilege of using these roads,
creating deep ruts in bad
weather, thereby making them
impassable, and otherwise
damaging the property. Owners
had to repair the damage at
their own expense.
Indiscriminate snowmobile
operators would gain entry to
private property, usually
through such roads, and then
speed along on the snow,
damaging young seedlings and
knocking the bark off trees.
Littering became a problem
almost impossible to control,
with owners forced to spend
large sums of money to clean up
One of the entries in the annual dog show sponsored by Back
Mountain Kennel Club Nov. 6 is this long-haired dachshund,
shown with his handler, Ray Anderson, at a recent show in
Berks County. Judge on that occasion was Mary Nelson
Stevenson, left.
Public Invited To View Film
The concluding film in
Wyoming Seminary’s current
documentary series on recent
world history will be held Nov.
10 in Pettebone-Dickson Student
Center. A documentary com-
bining highlights of preceding
films in the series, ‘Farewell to
Yesterday,” deals. with the
synopsis of the history of the
first 50 years of this century.
Public is invited to see the
film Wednesday at 8 p.m. in
Pettebone-Dickson Student
Center on Wyoming Seminary’s
campus.
the trash, garbage and other
debris left by some irrespon-
sible visitors.
Additional damage was
registered by owners of trail
bikes, motor scooters, all-
terrain vehicles, mini-bikes,
motorcycles, etc. :
Many property owners,
although they would have
preferred to keep their land
open to sportsmen, were forced
to post their tracts against all
trespassing in order to protect
themselves. Or, to offset
damages, taxes, and increasing
costs of providing free
recreational uses, some were
forced tolease hunting’rights on
their lands to private groups or
individuals, thereby closing the
area to public usage.
Owners of large tracts,
sometimes maligned as profit-
seeking inconsiderate of public
needs, have for some time
sought relief from often-
overlooked depredations while
attempting to meet publie
demands for more ‘‘open
space,” and the cooperative
program grew out of a mutually
recognized need for more
protection, combined with
multiple land use concepts.
It is hoped that this new pilot
project will improve sportsmen-
landowner relationships in
many forested areas of the
state, particularly in the nor-
thern tier counties, as the Farm
Game Cooperative Program
has done in the agricultural
sections of the commonwealth.
Only large, forested tracts
will be included in the pilot
project. The minimum size area
involved will be at least 1,000
acres. :
Already, nearly a half million
acres have been enrolled in the
pilot project under holdings of
the following cooperators:
Texas Gulf Sulphur Company,
Hammermill Paper Company,
Collins Pine Company, United
Natural Gas and the Sylvania
Corporation.
rventually, if successful, the
program could result in perhaps
a million acres of land available
for public hunting—land that
otherwise might have been
closed to the sportsman.
