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.

Holiday celebrations
are behind them and
leagues at the local lanes
have resumed their
normal schedules with
most of them entering the
second half of league
competition.
In the Monday night
George Shupp League,
Dallas Nursery copped
the first half title. They
split 2-2 with Gino’s Shoe
Store, Dec. 22, but
dropped three to Harris
Associates the following
week. Last week the
nursery men divided
evenly with Endless
Mountain. In other league
We lost control
Carrie Lehon scored 12
points, all of them in the
first half, to lead the Lady
Mounts to their second
consecutive win, 58-32,
Friday night, over West
Side Tech. 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.
Endless Mountain
copped three from
Roberts Oil and took three
from Disque Funeral
Home before dividing
with the nursery men.
Harris Associates divided
with Fino’s, picked up
three from the nursery
team then lost all to
Roberts Oil Co.
Dec. 29 competition,
Fino’s shut out Gino’s
paced by R. Bonomo’s 246
but we went too far ahead
and I took it off. The Tech
girls are big they are not
quick. And they lack
experience.
“Everyone of our girls
played. Thirteen were in
the game and 12 of them
scored. Debbie Shone and
Sherri Ciccarelli are
freshmen. They both
scored their first varsity
points.
‘‘Debbie Swoboski
played a good defensive
game. She’s only a
sophomore but she’s
quick and aggressive.
Kim Reese scored eight
points--she is playing an
excellent controlled game:
(634). Last week Gino's
Shoe Store picked up
three from Disque
Funeral Home.
Hitting high scores
were J. Shultz 531; B.

her shots count. 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.”
