a... *e » LOCAL SHARPSHOOTER--Chrisan Pyle, a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) from Dallas, is a member of a rifle team that has compiled an overall 98- Campisano. Chrisan, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Pyle of 306 Huntsville Rd., Dallas, is a junior at IUP majoring in criminology in the school of arts and sciences. She graduated from Dallas High School in 1974. by Lee L. Richards Virginia. He’s been offered rides at Maryland and Ohio State. Penn State has jumped into" the picture a Here’s some random thoughts about sports: Tim Lukachik sure has the Lake-Lehman basketball fortunes headed in the right direction. The loss to Dallas came as no surprise to us. The Mountaineers appear to have the Knights’ number in roundball. When's the last time Lake-Lehman topped the Big D lads??? We've had several grid fans ask our view on the Super Bowl and we simply tell them the truth. The Raiders had too much speed and strength for the Vikes. This was true in the Vikes getting whipped by the Dolphins and Steelers, too. No contest! What's this we hear where the Coaches at Dallas can’t go to any is making late push. All three programs are much better than West Virginia. Maryland Coach Jerry Claibone and assistant Gib Romaine were visitors to our homestead last Wednesday evening. Coach Claiborne is the same individual as he was the day he walked onto the Terp campus. He’s always had a knack of handling success. He’s very perturbed at the NCAA for cutting back the number of coaches (8) allowed on a staff. Claiborne says, ‘It’s going ‘to hurt the game simply because we won’t be able to groom any good young coaches like we’ve done in clinics again? We un- the past.” derstand there isn’t enough Did you read all the bucks to pay the expenses. “inside dope’’ - Sports ~ Dallas’ football program [ilustrated came out with could suffer next Sep- after Pitt destroyed tember. Other schools obviously will get the jump on the Mountaineers. Wonder if the Dallas Booster Club will come to the aid? Here's the latest Top 10 Teams in our Eastern Collegiate Wrestling Poll: 1-Lehigh 109, 2-Penn State 99, 3-Clarion St. 81, 4- Syracuse 71, 5-Millersville 59, 6-Rhode Island 57, 7- Navy 44, 8-tie Wilkes and Pitt 26, 10-Princeton 12. Penn State entertains Lehigh on Saturday, while Clarion hosts Slippery Rock that evening. We're looking forward to seeing both. Our fourth Poll will be held on Monday and the final of the season the Feb. 28th. Top three teams have been ranked 1-2-3 in all three Polls to date. Last Saturday Georgia? They missed on the alignment Coach Bobby Roper threw up against the Bulldogs. Like we stated here before the bowl game. Pitt’s defense would be the difference--- and they did distinguish themselves. Penn State fans will love this little gem. Pitt’s Roper called us after Sugar Bowl and during course of conversation said, ‘Penn State was a better football team than Georgia.” Yep, we’re going to string along with Coach Johnny Majors and Roper at Tennessee. Go Vols! During the grid season, in all our personal con- versations- with Coach Majors and members of his staff, they never once said they were “No. 1. Coach Majors did confide, “I honestly believe we could play with any team and win.” Meanwhile, for those who have asked, Coach Bobby Knight is doing just we Valentine’s Day Monday, Feb. 14!

BACK MOUNTAIN LUMBER & COAL CO. = HARDWARE and GIFT STORE es Tel Steve Skammer’s shooting and rebounding led the Dallas Mountaineers to a 67-58 win over the Lake-Lehman Knights last Thursday, ~ dropping the Knights to a 4- 2 record. - Dallas went out in front early in the first quarter and held the lead throughout the first half, closing out the half 50-23. The Knights rallied in the second half but were unable to outscore the Mountaineers in either quarter. They came within one point of overcoming the fine at Indiana. He's starting four freshmen and they’re getting a little bit better each week. If you're going to beat IU, do it this year, because it’s going to be a little tougher over the next three years. Speaking of roundball, Jim Atherton gets little notoriety as the cunning coach of Luzerne County Community College. In nine years he’s coached his charges to a nifty 169-45 log. We took in his team’s win over Bucks last Friday and was impressed with the all-around play of Dan Frascella. The secret to LCCC’s success can be summed up in one word, TEAMWORK. Most impressed with how each player looks for the open man. Cornell Crawford is a very quick guard and passes well, while Kevin Flaherty positions well under the hoop for rebounds. Tuesday they entertain Philly for the loop title. A win would be title No. 5 for the Amazing Atherton. Had a good visit with Ohio State’s George Chaump recently via phone. George is seeking the services of GAR’s Tomko, too. George believes the Buckeyes will be a mite more consistent next season. Penn State is off the schedule and Nit- tany Lion fans can be happy. The more PSU fans talk about the recent game the closer they came to winning!!! Back Mt. police meet Feb. 10 Dallas cagers but in the closing minutes of play, the Mountaineers took control and pulled ahead by nine. Skammer set the pace for Coach Joe O’Donnell’s Mountaineers with 24 points and 12 rebounds. He dumped in nine from the . outside and made good six from the foul line. Sterling Machell hit the double figures tossing in three Knights Lake-Lehman matmen collected seven pins and won all but two bouts to defeat Bishop Hoban _Argents, 51-6, and run their 95-lb.
