i CLEARING BRUSH--Dallas firemen Ed Connor and Bill Shaffer were busy cutting down tree and clearing brush in competition with the Shavertown firemen last week at the Fall Fair grounds. (Photo by Mark Moran) WILKES-BARRE FATS A slap in the face by Lee L. Richards "The East squad won the Annual Unico grid clash on Friday night, 20-zip. Enjoying a comfortable lead and in complete control, some TV guy had to get in the action for the East. Lake-Lehman coach Tom Hisiro didn’t feel it was the proper thing and expressed his feelings that it was sort of a slap in the face to the West gridders. I've gotta back you all the way coach. It was simply preposterous for the people of Unico to allow something this ridiculous to happen. Coughlin Coach J. P. Meck couldn’t say ‘no’. My first impression was how could men allow an irresponsible maneuver like this happen? Obviously none of those involved have ever been associated in a football program. Could you imagine some no-neck TV guy asking Coach Vince Lombardi if he could lineup in a super bowl? Or better yet, asking Billy Martin if he could play right field in a world series with a 19-run lead, two out and the count no balls and two strikes on the opposing pitcher? He'd get his lights punched out. Whether the Unico crowd knows it or not there’s still a little pride involved in the game and this jerk-water move shed a circus tag on what was once a pretty highly regarded sports attraction. If they can’t respect the game for what it stands for then maybe they should turn g bingo and bring in some clowns. 4m glad Coach Hisiro had the guts to stand up and be counted. How. about the players who sweated their tails off for two weeks preparing for the game only to find out things were so bad. the opposing team stuck some media stiff in for a play so he could describe the action or how it felt? I'd like to have seen the West kids call a little screen pass a send eight blockers after him to see if he’d set a record for running off the field. Enough said about those ignoramuses! CLIPBOARD NOTES: Here’s a chuckle for you grid buffs. Football Action Magazine ranks BYU ahead of Michigan, Penn State, Indiana, North Carolina, Georgia and Missouri. IU already beat them in the Holiday Bowl last December. BYU is one of the most overrated teams in football...Dallas golfer Jeff Balmer spent two weeks at Arnold Palmer’s golf school and I understand learned a heap of new and proper techniques. He belted his share of practice balls, too. Who's my favorite golfer? I've got several. If I had my choice of teeing it up with any pro it would be Lee Trevino. He's got mucho chrisma and hits it left to right which is sort of what I attempt to do...Three of the biggies PSU has to play this fall are Nebraska, Texas A&M and Missouri and all three have its starting QBS turning which spells trouble. I'm hoping my Pirates are out of their scoring slump. They had only 21 people cross the plate in an eight-game stretch last week. Ouch! Pitching didn’t do all that bad in that slump either... While the Yanks dropped a few last week they seem to be playing in such a positive way. Since adopting the Wishbone offense, Alabama has rolled up an overall record of 97 wins against 11 defeats. There will be more of the same this season as Coach Bear Bryant continues to narrow the gap on Amos Alonzo Stagg’s winning mark of 314. Coach Bryant has 296. Happened to bump into former Dallas wrestling Coach Al Husband Saturday and he’s doing quite well working in Harrisburg most of the time, but still resides in Kingston. I always felt Al was a very thorough task- master. e8-horsepower Synchre-Balanced Briggs & Stration engine. #3-speed transmission oTurf tires ECKERT POWER EQUIPMENT Tunkhannock Hwy.

Musical accompani- ment was provided by buzz saws roaring and sickles swinging. The fire trucks were positioned for the burning brush. The competition started as 16 firemen took their positions. Branches, old fencing, poison ivy and picker bushes did not deter the determined firemen. There may be two fire companies this week covered with poison ivy, but that won’t hinder them from their volunteer services to the Pack Mountain community. If there happens to be someone walking past incessantly itching, hail this person, for he is one who has sacrificed his comfort to help get off the ground. The following participated in the June 24 competition: Dallas Fire Company, chief, Don Shaffer, Lynn Sheehan, Bill Shaffer, Ted Wright, Don Bulford, Brett Slocum, Bill Ward, Bill Dierolf, Mike Burns and Ed Connor. Bill Rinehimer, Wayne Frederick, Howard Jones, Woody Larson, and Loren Dymond. July 1 competition was between the Mobile Intensive Care Unit’s paramedics and the Lake Silkworth Ambulance Association. Competition will include erecting snow fencing on the fair’s property adjacent to the Pearsall land. Sandy Beach Pre-school Nursery recently en- tertained parents and friends with a closing program. Sixteen children took part in the exercises. Songs, poems, and dances were performed.
