WILKES-BARRE FATS Eagles deserved to win by iLee Richards The preliminary rounds in the National Flag Confer- ence are over and the Eagles and Raiders will play for the big bundle in America’s biggest rip-off city, New Orleans, in two weeks. I’ve gotta credit the Eagles for taking it to the Cowpokes. They deserved to win. But then mortgage hanging over his head and the hefty check from the Soup Bowl will alleviate most of the problems. Who ever thought the Cowboys would make it this far in a season of transition? I didn’t. I’ve got to tip my hat to some folks I knew who have stuck with the Eagles for many, many moons. Celebrate guys, because it could be a while before it will happen again. My only pet peeve with the Eagles winning is Dick Vermeil’s obvious lack of style. He came across the tube like a true professional until his closing remarks which is typical of why he’s not so popular with other NFC mentors. You earn respect. Cheap remarks isn’t the way to earn one’s respect. In a sense Vermeil is his own worst enemy. Meanwhile, Oakland will be a worthy foe. It was the calls of the stripe-shirts which proved the difference in Eagles 10-7 win during the season. While I'm not too fond of Al Davis’ collection of misfits, I do have a heap of respect for Jim Plunkett, who was bad-mouthes by Howie during the season. I spent a week at Patriots’ camp when John Mazur was the head honcho and one of the first persons he got me hooked up with was Plunkett. He’s the type guy you’d want to date your sister. Modest and sensitive is the best way to describe him. It really bugged me when the rap came out he was gun- shy and all washed up because he couldn’t react under a heavy rush. No one mentioned the fact he was playing of the poor. Jim knew through Jim Nance that I was big on wrestling. One day over lunch he mentioned he wrestled in high school. When I asked how he did, he said, “I lost once.” When I asked where, he replied, “In the state finals my junior year.” Being a hot-shot QB I didn’t feel he would wrestle his senior year. Much to my surprise he said he did. Know what? He didn’t lose at all and won the state title. Jim Plunkett is low-profile personified. During my stay and all of the time we chatted, not once was his Heisman Trophy mentioned. The irony of the whole Jim Plunkett story is he wasn’t appreciated by the sorry New England fans. Well he’s taken a group of pretty ordinary players to the Super Bowl, while talent-laden New England can’t even win its division with suppoosedly the best talent in the AFC? Here's something to remember, besides the great Packers, the only other two wins by the NFC were by the Cowboys in the Soup Bowl. Only the Steelers were first time winners--and neither of these two teams are in the same league when the men of Steel are healthy. CLIPBOARD NOTES: Had a chance to visit with Leonard Leskowsky last week while waiting for son, Michael, to arrive home from wrestling practice. I ac- companied pal Gib Romaine of Mryland for his visit. I gotta believe Michael is handling the recruiting end quite well. When we left a coach from Ohio State was due for a house call. Miami is also making a bid for the talented Lake-Lehman youngster...Several scouts have told me TE Tony Langston is getting some looks. Seems people watching Michael on film have detected Tony’s athletic prowess. He could be a late bloomer and worth a chance. I was saddened by the passing of Commissioner Crossin. I enjoyed talking sports with him. Ill never forget how elated he was when Penn made it to the final know they were there. He enjoyed playing golf and our (A Gia Rees paths would cross at Irem a couple of times during the » summer. I'm going to miss Chink. He was a solid guy and never put on any airs.

Kim Kret- chmer followed with 10 points and floor leader Barb Stephenson turned in a great playing game. ¢“It wasn’t one of our better games,” said Coach Kit Karuza. “The girls didn’t execute as well as they could. They didn’t play like they did in the Wyoming Seminary game. “We used the press for about a minute and a half competition, Stanton TV split with Disque Funeral Home, picked up three from Roberts Oil and lost three to Fino’s Phar- macy.

Clare Cotter hit for six--she of points but she gets a lot of assists in setting up the points. “We've won our first two games-—in the first game with Seminary we played 12 girls and nine of! them scored. In Friday's game, 12 of the 13 scored. I'm pleased with the great giving.” The Lady Mounts were scheduled to play Lake- Lehman at Lehman Tuesday afternoon.
