WILKES-BARRE FATS
by Lee L. Richards
CLIPBOARD NOTES: CBS may have Jimmy the
Greek, but I've got a friend called ‘“Maggie the Cat’ and
she’s won on the football tickets three times this year and
twice in as many weeks. When asked how she does it,
‘‘Maggie the Cat’’ responded, “I look once and pick, that
way I don’t get confused.’”’ She’s an amazing person.
--Is Bob Sewell getting set for the First Annual Garden
State Bowl? His Rutgers team is one of the teams
seriously being considered.
--Bet Jones’ performance last Monday night really
shouldn’t surprise you if you've been reading our column.
We've mentioned here several times about his gun-like
arm. LSU Coach Cholly Mac told us several times he’s
never seen a QB put velocity on the ball like Jones. That
was evident against the Skins.
--Eagles victory over the Jets on Sunday had to leave a
bitter taste in Walter Michaels’ mouth. There is no love
between the current Jets’ staff and Eagle Coach Dick
Vermeil, since he terminated all of their contracts.
--Lake-Lehman’s Jim Michaels turned in an impressive
performance at QB this season passing for over 1,400
yards and John Coulton was on the receiving end of over
40 balls.
--Didn’t we tell you Coach Jack Jones would have his
Mountaineers well prepared for GAR in the final game of
the season for the Big D lads? Two wins and nine losses
ranks as one of the poorest teams ever for Coach Jones,
but we anticipate he’ll be back at the helm again next
season.
--Nebraska’s triumph over a fumbling Oklahoma team
really didn’t surprise us. We felt the Sooners would have
to hold on to the pigskin to win which they didn’t. The
National Championship is still up for grabs and the Nit-
tany Lions aren’t a shoo-in yet.
--This week’s Bowl invitations should prove interesting
and we feel the Lions will be under tremendous pressure
to accept the Orange Bowl and play Nebraska. Should
they decide to by-pass the Huskers, which they pulled in
1969 when they refused to meet Texas in the Cotton Bowl,
could prove costly in the polls. St. Joe has said he wants to
play the BEST team available.
Because of the Bowl’s commitment to the conference
champs the Orange is the only choice. They beat Houston
last season, so there's little to gain in the Cotton Bowl.
Georgia must beat Auburn to win the Sugar invite,
because Alabama was their last year. It will be interest-
ing because a Georgia loss send the Tide and St. Joe would
love to match wills with the bear.
--Here’s our version of College Football’s Super Seven:
1-Penn State, 2-USC, 3-Alabama, 4-Nebraska, 5-
Oklahoma, 6-Michigan, 7-Notre Dame.
--1 guarantee you ABC-TV will use its influence to come
up with some kind of version of a National Championship
on New Year’s Day. It’s common knowledge the ABC
gang is practically running college football.
--Army coach Homer Smith pulled off one of the dum-
best coaching moves we've seen in many years Saturday.
With Army leading Boston College, 29-24 and 26 seconds
on the clock, he had his QB run 26 yards backwards to take
a safety. B.C. had no timeouts at the time. Strange. It was
a fourth and three situation. B.C. wound up moving the
ball into field goal range and just missed a 28-yard at-
tempt. We'd judge by the reaction of the Army athletic
director, General Ray Murphy, Smith will not be at West
Point next season.
--Mickey Dudish will close out his regular season career
for the Terps Saturday. He’s made a significant contri-
bution to the Maryland program in.a combination of ways.
He’s a leader and we won't be at all surprised if he’s one of
the captains in the coming bowl game.
The Garden State Bowl is bending over backwards to
have Rutgers as its host team. Pitt and Navy are also
being considered as the host team. They've got to come up
with a team that’s going to draw fans into the
Meadowlands and neither of the three are that caliber.
--If football were a game of only three quarters, instead
of four, Lake-Lehman would have won seven or eight
encounters.
--Sources tell us we can anticipate coaching changes at
the following colleges at the conclusion of this season:
Army, Colorado, Duke, Florida, Iowa, West Virginia, and
Tulane.
--Based on pre-season potential we'd have to rate
Maryland, Houston and Georgia as the surprise teams for
1978.
--Which team in college football has the greatest
collection of athletes? We feel USC is head and shoulders
above the rest.
--For you trivia buffs, PSU could be ranked No. 1 this
week in the college grid polls and it will make the initial
time in its 91 year history. They've never been No. 1 even
for a day.
--Received call last week from John Vozniak inquiring
why we never included Maryland in our Super Seven even
though both wire polls listed Terps fifth? We saw
Maryland three times this season and just felt they
weren’t on par with our Super Seven. At best we thought
Terps were 12th or 13th.
--We like the way former Redskin boss George Allen
analyzes action for CBS. He gives the fans a very
technical description on why a team will do certain things
in certain situations. He’s excellent.
--Take a very close look at our Super Seven and see how
many of these teams have knocked each other from ranks
of unbeaten. PSU hasn’t played any and will be suspect to
voters from South and Big Eight.
--Lake-Lehman Coach Rich Gorgone took in PSU-N.C.
State game Saturday.
--Bob Mugford, one of the many Back Mountain PSU
fans, not so sure Chuck Fusina can win Heisman Trophy.
We've talked to several N.Y. scribes that will vote and
he’s about the fifth or sixth choice. We feel Bruce Clark
will have better chance next season.
--King’s roundball coach Ed Donohue told us he’s still
not settled on his starting five. He believes his guards will
be solid, but he’s lacking sufficient help at the forwards to
take pressure off Ken Casey.
