Richards CLIBPBOARD NOTES: We all know Cowboys’ Tony Dorsett can run with the football, but announcers seldom point out his superb blocking ability...There are more good college hoop teams around this season than ever this Saturday, weather permitting...If you watched the Blue Bonnet Bowl you know why we believed Stanford QB Steve Dils was the NO. 1 player at this position in the collegiate ranks in ‘78...Hanover and Bishop Hoban are our choices in the local roundball action. Kinda think when all of the dribbling is over, they’ll be on top. Lou Saban’s selection as the man to lead the Army football team came as a total surprise. Being a long time Army fan, I don’t believe he’s the answer. I've questioned the policy at the Point for sometime and it’s about time they clean house from top to bottom. The current athletic director, Ray Murphy, appears to think like it’s still the 1940’s Saban would be a likely candidate for U-Haul commericals he’s jumped around so much in the last 10 years. Murphy went on record he wanted a big name. Names don’t win football games, general, coaches do. In Homer Smith they got a dud. : Now they've got Saban, who won’t last the ‘duration of his contract. There were several highly regarded assistants from Ohio State., Arkansas and Emory Bellard that could’ve given the program some stability. The White Hats at Annapolis have got to be laughing it up. --Did you catch some of the All-Star grid tilts on the tube Saturday? Two good buddies of our, Maryland’s Jerry Claiborne and Cholly Mac of LSU, rallied their respective teams to wins in the East-West Shrine and Hula Bowls. One thing for sure, there was a heap of talent in both games...Paid particular interest to the glue-like blocking of center Robert Shaw of Tennessee in Shrine tilt and he opened things up. # z i Coach Mac is the incoming president of the Football Coaches Association. Bowl. Steelers have won seven games in a row, while the § Cowboys have posted eight straight wins. Both teams appear to be at the peak of their games. More on this next week. : ““0Oilers’ Coach Bum Phillips has finally received some well-deserved recognition through the playoffs. He's highly regarded in the profession and has quality credentials. It just took a while for the media guys to recognize the fact. ; : Wonder if Howard Cosell has been informed yet that Coach Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide has won four-striaght bowl games? The «Monday Night Mouth’’ never was very adapted to college football. NCAA grid committee is going to propose a four-team playoff system for the National Championship at the completion of the bowl games if it’s accepted. We feel it’s about time to do away with the “Paper Crown.” One of the most alert and dedicated women coaches we've come across is Lake-Lehman’s Florence Finn. She appears to have the rright philosophy on what-it takes to have successful programs. ; How about Mr. and Mrs. Jack Davis entering their wedding reception with a tape of the Clarion State fight song playing in the background? That’s what I call having “gold blood.” Clarion’s colors are blue and gold. There’s never been a coach in any sport get the hook and get so much ink as former Buckeye taskmaster Woody Hayes has over the last week. Speaking of Ohio State, pal George Champ was interviewed Thursday for head job. . Several sources from Mt. Top indicated to me that Lake-Lehman grid boss Rich Gorgone has applied for the vacant head job at Crestwood. Evidently some of the feed- back we've been hearing from the Black Knight camp concerning Coach Gorgone is on the level. / Back Mt. matmen first in Bethlehem Three Back Mountain Wrestling Club grapplers took first place awards in the annual Bethlehem Boys Club Wrestling Tour- nament.
