— RE mn Ramp A reesei r 10 J TO 5 PAGE TEN WILKES-BARRE FATS by Lee L. Richards Saturday was an exceptional day for football. We drove down to Maryland to see the Terps collide with Tulane. We had an interest in the game, since Mickey Dudish was acting captain and Charlie ‘“‘D’’ Wysocki was expected to play alot. Both were recruited by pal, Gib Romaine. Mickey and Charlie were quite confident during pre- game as we wished them both luck. The Terpstook control early and handled the Green Wave, which hasn’t im- proved any since we saw them last year against Rutgers. Dudish did his usual fine job of blocking, caught a pass and made a couple of runs inside. His blocking was pic- ture-perfect. Charlie got in the game and made some slashing runs behind the second offensive line. He will be a good one. After the game, Mickey told us, ‘‘I was confident we’d play well. We've had some really good practices and a lot of the guys wanted to prove our offense will be good. I think we’re going to make a strong run for the ACC title. We've just got to keep improving. It’s great to win when you're the captain.” This was Charlie’s initial game as a Terp. He's per- formed above expectations in drills. “I guess I've got to be pleased,” said the always h & to plav sare hut there's a lot of games left this season and I know I'll get my chance.” Wien we asked it 1t wo oo. ‘userent, Charlie just smiled and said, ‘‘They (Tulane) had more speed than I'm used to and may have hit a little harder, but it was a lot of fun.” Coach Jerry Claiborne isn’t one to just stick a freshman in a game, especially an opener. Charlie played more than we anticipated. We know he’ll play more as the season unfolds. CLIPBOARD NOTES: Saturday, Lake-Lehman and Dallas will go bonnet-to-bonnet. Dallas has been winning over the Knights for a number of years and the last couple of contests have been close. The Mountaineers are coming off a loss to Coughlin, while the Knights have a win and a loss. Coach Jack Jones’ Big “D” lads must rate as the favorite, simply because of their size and experience up front. Caoch Rich Gorgone’s Knights have got to be quick and make things happen early if they’re to pull out a victory. about for a year. Some Nittany fans said it wouldn’t be close. Now, after two games, things are quiet. If the real SIT otfense shows up the game will be close. The Bucks aren’t Temple or Rutgers. That we can guarantee you. Ls obvious PSU has put pressure on themselves. They've been saying they’re No. 1. They may have been a little rash as the two previous games have indicated. Thirty-six points against Temple and Rutgers, com- pared to 99 last year against the same two foes makes you is right on schedule for the National title. Another George that comes to mind had the last name of Custer-- and he didn’t see any Indians at the Little Big Horn! One: game isn’t going to make or break the season for either team. --We get a kick out of Coach Walt Michaels’ N.Y. Jets. They had fourth and three in their end of field with three minutes left and Walt had Richard Todd gamble. Todd took Jets to winning TD. He’s something else! Last week we mentioned here that Maryland was working extra hard on its kicking game in preparation for Tulane. Coach Claiborne firmly believed the Terps could return a punt for a score. That's just what happened as they set up a wall in the second period. It was a thing of beauty. --Several local grid buffs are impressed with the rugged defensive line fielded by Valley West. Mark Duda has played exceptionally well. --If you're a sports fan like myself, aren’t you curious as to Jimmy ‘‘the Greek’s’’ percentage for his predictions? I don’t feel it’s that outstanding. --The less said about the losing Skejn of the Bogor to Len Brader these davs the better "V%ils =wa're a Red Sox fan, “The Sound of Beautiful Music - 24 Hours a Day Everyday" SPECIAL PROGRAMS SATURDAY NOON-''Remember’’ 6 p.m. ‘Sounds of the Big Bands’’ 7 p.m, '‘Broadway and Hollywood'’ ~ SUNDAY — 10 A.M. ‘Best Of The Big Bands’’ 20 NNN AN NIN NIE AN NMA NAN NAN AA NN ANNE hitting a mite too high, also. --We never really got excited over Pittsburgh’s run at the Phillies simply because they aren’t that good. --Doesn’t Bjorn Borg show a lot of class whether win- ‘ning or losing? They said on the tube his thumb was in- fected. After the loss to Jimmy Connors he said, ‘I’ve had blisters before. Jimmy was hitting very well. He was too good. Let’s talk about something else.” Never an excuse. We thought Connors performed like he’s capabale. . Here's our Super Seven in College Football: 1- Alabama, 2-Arkansas, 3-Oklahoma, 4-USC, 5-Michigan, 6- Texas, 7-tie-Ohio St. and Penn St. --Had the Giants been playing any team but the Cowboys they’d had won Sunday. Joe Pisarcik put on a fine exhibition. He was 15 for 37 and 261 yards and one TD toss. Joe’s courage in standing in the pocket is most im- pressive. Yet he gets little recognition from the local media? Received short note from Chuck Amato, defensive boss at N.C. State and he said, “We feel we’ve found solid QB in Scott Smith. If we stay healthy, we have a chance to be real good.” | --Despite loss to Coughlin, Jerry McDowell of Dallas gave notice he’s one of the best defensive tackles in Conference this season. --A grandstand play by Kris Haines of Notre Dame prevented the Irish from almost a sure TD which would have meant victory over Missouri. After catching a pass around the three, Haines did a little roll in the end zone and on the way back slappec a Missouri defender on the helmet. Bang! Out comes a flac and 15 yards. ND is famous for its rah, rah stuff, but this time it cost them. % MEYERS ATHLETES-Mickey Dudish (37) and Charlie ‘D’ Wysocki (18), both former football stars for Meyers High School, are shown prior to the opening game for Maryland.
