Steve Skammer WILKES-BARRE FATS by Lee Richards It looks real bad for a state playoff in football for Pennsylvania and the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the high school principals. While over 40 states have playoffs in football, Penn- sylvania remains one of the few without it. We've said for many years the PIAA is not interested in helping the athlete, but in exploiting the youngsters to make a profit. The youngsters welfare is seldom taken into con- sideration. The proposal for a state playoff was made by the recently formed Pennsylvania High School Football Coaches Association. The PIAA didn’t dream it up, so it had no chance of getting approved. The high school principals must give the OK, but how can a group which is over loaded with guys that can’t tell the difference between a football or a basketball vote on the issue. J In a story in the Harrisburg Sunday edition, Penn State Coach Joe Paterno leveled the principals. “Weak administrators are scared to death of successful football coaches,” says Paterno. “I hate to see them say we can’t have a football champion in this stae.” “I don’t understand their reasoning. They allow wrestlers to go all over the country and they have all those teams in basketball playoffs for more than a month, but as soon as it comes to football, they say we can’t allow that.” «Pm all for high school playoffs, I think it would be good for high school football in this state.” Way to go, Joe! ; We haven't encountered too many principals with a complete understanding of the sports scene locally. Granted there are a few, but 95 per cent aren’t with it, thus the athletes are the ones getting shortchanged. Pennsylvania has been so far behind the more progressive states like Texas, Ohio and a vast majority of your southern states where not only do they have playoffs, but spring practice as well. As long as the Pathetic Inept Athletic Association, known as the PIAA is running the show, Pennsylvania will remain with a second class athletic program. CLIPBOARD NOTES: Several local grid fans have inquired as to why Maryland's fine quarterback, Larry Dick, wasn’t drafted by NFL? Dick signed with Saskat- chewan Roughriders of CFL for substantial bonus and no- cut contract. He’s got a pro arm and will play plenty. In the Ladies Country League R.

Seton Catholic picks up win over L-L Knights on Ray Leskowsky’s long triple. Center fielder Thomas and first baseman Seton Catholic picked up its second win of the season by defeating the Lake- On the Sixers bowing one Philly scribe said, “The Coliseum crowd is angry, demanding that George McGinnis be fed to the lions, that Lloyd Free be exiled to the Brooklyn schoolyards and that Darryl Dawkins be made to play for Bobby Knight for two years. On the Sixers bowing one Philly scribe said, ‘The Coliseum crowd is angry, demanding that George McGinnis to be fed to the lions, that Lloyd Free be exiled to the Brooklyn schoolyards and that Daryl Dawkins be made to play for Bobby Knight for the next two years. “Sorry guys, Coach Knight wouldn’t recruit a guy like Dawkins for several reasons, mainly his character. Looking ahead to next fall, Lake-Lehman’s Jim Ashton and Ray Leskowsk should be two capable stoppers in middle on defense as linebackers. Both can drop ballcarriers. All philly scribes should be made to write 1,000times “I shall never compare the “Sickers’ again to the great Celtic teams of the past.” That was most ridiculous piece of sports writing we've seen, simply because Philly had Channel 44 carried an extraordinary story on Ohio Sate Coach Woody Hayes. Name of the show was “Americans”. Woody demonstrated why he’s such a splendid grid coach and outstanding American. He did raise holy thunder at some of the players and dropped some cuss words, but overall Woody was just plain “Woody”. He came off with several fantastic quotes. He’s not the type guy to live on past laurels and told the people doing interview if he didn’t win with talent at state, he deserved to be fired. Like we’ve said before, he’s one of the most honest individuals and unique coaches we've ever en- counterd. : What's going to happen to th two divisions of the Wyoming Valley Football Conference? We understand GAR is applying to join the Division 1 group. If this happens, kiss Division 2 goodbye. No way can they justify having a loop of four teams. We still contend it was a slap in the face to the GAR program when they were forced to drop to the “B” Division. Len Brader, a real sports buff, claims the 76ers have no team concept at all and don’t deserve to win the layoffs. He got his info from his pal Mendy Rudolph. On baseball, Brader makes no bones about the Bosox going all the way. Is there a more steady player, day in and day out, in the American loop than Yank’s Chris Chambliss? We like his low-key attitude. Our flyers are gone for the second-straight year at the hands of the tough Bruins. They showed their class as no excuses were tossed around like the “Sickers.” Orest Kindrachuck said, “We werenot quite good enough. They wanted it. They played well enough. They played hard. And a couple of breaks can make the difference.”” That my friends is the sign of a real pro. Maryland Coach Gib Roamine was in town doing some early recruiting for next season. Romain siad, “We're looking now to see if there are any prospects or suspects around.” District 2 Track and Field Championships are this weekend and from the times we’ve seen, most mediocre, our area isn’t about to make a showing in State Cham- pionships. However, if the weatherman provides a little -cooperation, some athletes could surprise. 3 To Advertise, Call 675-5211 Giants defeat Lehman Knights 5-2 last Friday.
