by Lee L. Richards _ Dallas School Board is in a pickle. According to several sources close to the situation several members of the board is in favor of making a change in the basketball re In other words, they're not satisfied with Clint BrfUst as head coach. It seems the board, which has the option of opening the post each year, was not ready to accept Brobst’s ap- plication if he reapplied. That would have been the ap- propriate way out. However, things sort of got out of hand last week when Brobst was asked to submit his resignation. It’s no secret several groups of fans and parents of team members are quire disturbed with the direction the program is going, which in their opinion, is a notch above mediocrity. The Mountaineers had talent as evidence, by the All-Star team which had three players named to the ten-man squad. There's two sides to every story. I'd like to see the board set up a committee and conduct an investigation into the overall structure and direction of roundball program. after this is complete they could then reach a final decision as to whether they want to continue with the present philosophy and leadership or attempt to upgrade the situation by bringing in new ideas and leadership. Once the determination is reached, the board could then declare the position open and hire the person most qualified. It's obvious they need immediate stability and a much more organized program. That's one of the shortcomings in Wyoming Valley for years. Too many of the athletes aren't receiving the kind of coaching which could develop their skills and conse- qugaitly help them gain a scholarship of some nature. e ball is now in the Dallas school board's end of the court and we'll wait patiently to see what they do with it! --Note of interest to Penn State buffs, Dayle Tate, last year’s starting QB, appears to be finished for the spring and his career is in doubt after shattering his jaw in a drill last week. That leaves the door wide open for Frank Rocco, Jeff Hostetler and Todd Blackledge...Panther Valley's Greg Gogal, a highly regarded signee last year, is reported transferring to another school. --Pro scouts last week clocked Pitt's Randy McMillan at 4.5 in the 40-yard dash. Big Mac is 6-2, 228 pounds and Coach Jack Sherrill reports he’s getting better and better. --Lake-Lehman’s Coach. Tom Hisiro attended the annual Maryland grid clinic over the weekend. Hisiro had a good visit with Assistant Coach Gib Romaine and the topic over conversation was Mike Leskowski, who could be one of the top recruits in Wyoming Valley this season. —-According to reports out of the Terp camp, Valley West’s Mark Duda has been running first-team at defensive tackle and has been his aggressive self. Over on the offense, Charlie “D”’ Wysocki is running with more authority and confidence than last year when he led the ACC in rushing with over a 1,000 yards in a mere nine games. --Irem Temple Country Club opened for another season over the weekend and despite the damp grounds a bunch of golfers toured the links on Sunday. The course appears in tip-top shape thanks to the relatively mild winter and the greens will be lush until the heat comes. Whenever 1 hear of a team having discipline problems I think of Coach Vince Lombardi telling the fat- heads: ‘‘T'll put up with your crap only until I find someone good enough to take your place.” -I was elated to learn last week Major General Raymond Murphy will call it quits as Army’s athletic director the first of July. Having observed the program at the Point, I couldn’t help but notice it needed new leadership with more foresight. --Jets’ coach John Mazur told me sometime ago that it takes longer to prepare offensive blocking technique than any other position except middle linebacker and quarterback. --There’s a lot of talk coming out of Pittsburgh about the Panthers making a ‘serious run at the national championship. toughest foe for Coach Jackie Sherrill’s team could be the problem of complacency. It can occur as an unconscious, relaxation-type thing which seems to take place on a team after you win. --After assessing all of the major college grid schedules recently, I'd have to rank Penn State’s among the top 10 in the country this season. Things are in the talking stages to switch the Pitt- Tennessee game to Labor Day weekend for prime-time coverage by ABC. Both teams appear to be pointing to this goodie and we imagine they'll both take the field in a bad mood. It's no secret there's bad blood between John Majors and Sherrill. I'll mention again that Dunmore’s Dan Carter is the top college prospect in this end of the state for next season. He's a veer-type QB with uncanny ability to scramble and toss the football. He's an outstanding punter, too. --Understand tickets are going extremely well so far for Arnold Palmer's visit to Irem Temple Country Club May 17th. I'm looking forward to watching how Arnie plays the local links and his shot selection.

PAGE FIFTEEN The Dallas Post All- Stars strengthened their hold on first place in the Wilkes-Barre Volleyball League Sunday afternoon by winning two of three games from the second place team, Nanticoke Alfa-Jacks. It was the first game in which most of the Post’s starting lineup was intact, hitting Isin Tuplu of Istanbul, Turkey. Tuplu, a topflight collegiate volleyball star now studying in the U.S., has been on the Post roster all year but ap- peared in his first match Sunday. The Post coasted to relatively easy wins in each of the first two games of the match but early lead. Other members of the Post team participating in the winning effort were Capt. Bob Anthony, Fred Alcaro, Jim Anthony, Jack Cannon, Jerry Schultz, and Ray Carlsen.
