a. by Lee L. Richards * Who will be the best football players in the East this battles. Based on what we saw last year, I gotta believe the players we've selected as our All-East team for Athlon’s Eastern Football Magazine can hold their own country. We looked for size and speed. We've been a firm Our ends are Pitt’s Hugh Green and PSU’s Larry Kubin. Both are excellent performers. Green is one of the best Our tackles are Penn State’s musclemen, Bruce Clark Rutger’s Ed Steward is so quick at getting to the ball. Our trio of linebackers is outstanding hitters and equally adept at pass coverage. Pitt's Jeff Pelusi will line- up in the middle, while Navy’s Charles Thorton and Lance aid in an outside rush in blitzing situations. The secondary on this mythical team is a trio of ball- and was on my All-American ballot last year. Gregg Milo Maybe one of the most underrated performers in in the final NCAA stats. Overall, I can’t see too many conference all-star teams fielding a more outstanding contingent than the one we've selected for Publisher Jerry McCoin of Athlon, Nashville, Tenn. We're looking forward to the coming football season All-East team. Next week we'll give you a brief look at our offensive team. We've got some surprises, too. CLIPBOARD NOTES: Roger Bearde has already swung into action as the new roundball coach at Lake- Lehman. He's outlined his program to the squad and gave them several pointers on a program for over the summer. --1 like the three-point hoop in pro basketball. It gives the game a little added excitement down the stretch. I'd thing I can’t buy is the three foul shots to make two in the pros. That's too much for the best in the game. Two for two is more reasonable. --Chet Blazick carded an outstanding even par round of 72 to capture low gross honors in the 12th Masonic Golf Tourney at Irem over the weekend. Low net winner was Al Luff with a 64. A total of 50 golfers participated in the annual event. Luff had won the longest drive, too, but you can only claim one prize and that award was given to Bob Kopp. “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.

Other top finishers were Bob Bachman with a 75, Jack Mascioli 77 and Jim Balmer with 77. In the net, Carl Dymond was second, Gordon Dietterick third and Arch Austin fourth. They all had 67s. Basil Dugan and Don Stevick did their usual superb job in coordinating the event. : --Bruce Gover continued to play steady golf and cap- tured the handicap club championship at Irem. Chet Blazick was second followed by Rich Saul and Andre Billings. Gover shot a 63 net on the final round to walk off with his initial title at the Back Mountain links. --Can’t help but wondering how many experts gave Hale Irwin a chance to win the U.S. Open? If you read our column last week we predicted Irwin was one of our choices to win the title. The tougher the course, the better he plays. He’s been one of our favorites on the tour since we met him in Scranton several years ago. He’s a fun person to be around and we tipped a few beers with him after his . round. He's got all the shots. His iron game is what im- pressed us, especially for a place with small greens like Inverness. --Watch out for the team of Dave Williams and Bob Spencer on the links. They cleaned our clocks in the Tuesday Night League last week. Ed Rome and I couldn’t get over some of the shots the duo pulled off. It was fun. --“‘Lefty’’ Bob Rogers cracked the 80 barrier Saturday and shot a 79 for his best round of the season. Now that school is out he’ll get his game in shape. --Frank Wielding reminds us of the NBC peacock with his array of golfing attire.” He takes some kidding about his flashy duds. --Speaking of razzing, Al Luff is the brunt of some quips, but I’ve got to tip my hat to him for winning the Masonic Tourney and really creaming his drive on 16. --A bunch of local gridders will be attending Pine Forest Football Camp in the Poconos this weekend. Coaches Gib Romaine and Terry Strock of Maryland will be part of the staff. --Every golf course has'its critics. Some self-appointed. At Irem C.C. Jack Landis fits the bill. In the future I hope Jack will be a bit more discreet. --Billy Martin is coming back to the Yanks. While I'm not a Yankee fan anymore I feel Martin is dynamite as a manager, especially with all of the inflated egos on the Yanks. I gotta believe the Yanks are going to have problems as long as they've got Reggie Jackson around. --Bob Saul informs us several Dallas roundballers will attend Army’s camp next month. Cadet Coach’ Mike Krzyuewski has one of the top camps in the East. We'd recommend it to any young cage prospect. --While NBC's coverage of the Open was top-shelf, I was a bit disappointed in not seeing some of the other top players on the tube. They dealt too much time to a certain group. --While on the subject of roundball, ‘‘Red’’ Jones name came up in a conversation recently. I'drank ‘Red’ as one of the most meticulous mentors to coach locally. He had a plan for every situation. I saw the St. Vincent’s--St. Mary’s game when Jack Cryan had the city team. It went five overtimes and rates as one of the best games I've, ever seen.
