PAGE TEN WILKES-BARRE FATS by Lee L. Richards Crestwood’s 34-10 wrestling win over Lake-Lehman had some very tight bouts which were won by the Comets and proved their mettle. Knights are getting rep for bowing in the close events. If they ever turn things around there will be: some teams. around the valley taking some slicks. Followers of Trojan roundball feel this year’s edition “has the least amount of talent of any previous squad. Jimmy Cefalo, according to some viewers, handled himself exceptionally well on the TV show in his honor. last week which was done by Channel 44 (which happens to be the number he wore during career at Pittston Area and PSU.) Our congratulations to Coach Bob Bubb and his Clarion State wrestling team after they snapped Penn State’s win skein last Thursday, 24-15. Asst. Jack Davis called us with a bout-by-bout description right after the win. Davis said, ‘We won some bouts we felt we’d lose and we lost some we felt we could win. Overall, it was a great effort by each of our wrestlers.” Clarion’s win should scramble our Eastern Mat Poll even more this coming week. After viewing Notre Dame-UCLA roundball tilt last Sunday, we're more convinced than ever Digger Phelps ranks as the all-time hotdog. His actions did little to enhance the Irish image. We hope the teams meet again in NCAA playoffs because UCLA will put out their lights...Best roundball team we've seen is Marquette. Can’t remember when there have been so many solid teams as in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Look for Lake-Lehman’s Dana Sutliff and Ray Leskowsky to drop a weight class for the district tourney. Both have the potential to advance quite far in state wrestle-offs..How’s this for a record? Dave Fagula, former Hanover cager, says he holds record for fewest assists in a season, zip! What a difference a year makes. Remember last year at this time how several so called experts jumped all over King’s boss, Ed Donahue. Big Ed had one of the all-time comebacks: “They're about as smart as the inside of a - doughnut.” One of the better young basketball coaches on the local scene is GAR’s Ralph Hann. Only problem about being a young mentor with top credentials is they are seldom recognized by the idiots which do the selecting. While Dallas may be taking its lumps in roundball now, we feel in a year or two they'll reap the fruits from the solid program they’ve got going for the youngones. The one young man who has impressed many mat buffs with his aggressive style is Valley West’s John Brennan. He wants to clamp every guy that steps on mat against him. : Look forthe NFL Players Association to push for more investigating of injuries occurring from artificial turf. This was never more evident than recent Super Bowls and was one reason for so many turnovers. 6a.m.-9p.m. Daily 9 a.m. -6 p.m. Sunday DOWEYS EXXON SERVICE CENTER 675-5721 - Yr BRAKE WORK vc AIR CONDITIONING REPAIR & SERVICE 7 TUNEUPS # TIRE REPAIR & SERVICE ‘Yc GENERAL REPAIR Corner of Kunkle Road & Route 309 Rt. 309& 118 Memorial Highway, Dallas Bill Spurlin, Prop. 675-3336 MARTIN'S MOBILE 24 HR.

While we're avid golfers, we've never met a nibre amiable guy than John Wudnoski, the pro at Wyoming Valley Country Club, who recently passed away. He was a very quiet man, but did a lot for many young people. He wasn’t a flashy guy, but never had a bad word for anyone. They always called him, “Pro”. We’re going to miss him as will the many other golfers in the area. He was an outstanding person in our book. Meanwhile, it came as no surprise when John Havlicek retired from the Celtics. During the NCAA: playoffs in Philly when he came to speak to Coach Bobby Knight's Indiana team he told us he’d play two more years and call it quits. Through Coach Knight we met Hondo several times and found him to be one of ‘‘superest’” people we've ever encountered. He’s a vanishing breed in professional sports because he was a team man first. He played on seven NBA Championship teams. John Havlicek’s place in the Hall of Fame was set aside several years ago. Saturday we motored down to Bloomsburg to visit with Penn State coaches Bill Koll and Andy Matter. We also presented them the Eastern Mat Poll plaque for being designated the No. 1 dual meet team in the East for 1977...PSU topped Bloom, 19-14, for the Lions 9th win in 10 starts... Coughlin’s Sam Sallit turned in his seventh straight win with a 17-11 decision over Butch Snyder...Koll says, ‘‘Sam is getting better and better. Local mat buff Len Selner enjoyed meeting Koll and Matter. We were both impressed with Sallit’s methodical and powerful style of wrestling...Former East Stroud stan- dout, Rich Schumacher, was the ref and performed very poorly with some of his calls costing both teams. No player deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame more than ex-Green Bay great, Ray Nitschke. No. 66 was one of the best we've ever seen play middle linebacker. We’ll never forget when he made brilliant play on intended pass for Browns’ Jim Brown in NFL title tilt. - Speaking of Pro Football, we see where they’re going to mess with the rules again in an effort to put more offense in game. It’s not the zone defense, but the conservative philosophy of the coaches. They first attempt to prevent losses, thus trying to protect their jobs...Pro football is getting too many ‘Cocktail Coaches.” Last week’s NHL All-Star game was one of best we’ve seen. It was up and down the ice. “Sorry” is the best way to describe the Monday night crew's description of NFL All-Star tilt. Heck. they didn’t even mention Randy White was in game until third period and that he was playing left side instead of usual right defensive tackle. We can do without them for next several months. . Had a good visit with Ed Sulkowski, who has been an athletic trainer at Penn State for 32 years. He told us he’s going to retire in a year or two. Ed feels today’s athletes just aren’t as tough mentally or physically as the guys 10 years ago. He was one'of the trainers for our Olympic boxing team ‘so you know his credentials are top-shellf.

Dallas Township Police report two more serious automobile accidents and several ‘‘fenderbenders’’ as a result of icy road conditions throughout the week in the township.

But by the close of the game the Spartans had successfully upset the Queenswomen. The junior varsity team turned the tables on the heavily favored, undefeated Spartan J.V. team. The boy’ s basketball team also completed with the Spartans Tuesday night. In a valiant effort the players fought to maintain possession of the ball, only to lose it in the end. Once during the competition the Queensmen moved for a mad dash for the lead, but eventually the opponents tightened up tand the game fell in their favor 89-54. John Dueslar had the game high of 15 points. It appears as though the swim team will sustain their nearly continual winning streak so far in the second half.
