Shorty was right
Pitt Coach Jackie Sherrill on his overall evaluation of
the Panther signees: ‘We had a superb group of recruits.
We went after linemen and linebackers. I've gotta:
believe we accomplished our needs. We've added the
necessary speed and size we felt is necessary to sustain
our program. I’m elated with the incoming group.”
--The Eastern Wrestling League recently completed its"
sixth season and I’m quite optimistic about the overall
crop of freshmen. Several of the coaches believe this
current group is the best to'come into the EWL.
-I had several lengthy conversations with Coach John
Majors in the past week and it appears we’ve resolved
some of our differences. Despite some of his actions, I
still have liking for the guy that restored the Pitt
program to the 1976 national championship.
—-While it was mentioned in the local press, former
Army coach Earl Blaik sent a $100,000.00 contribution to’
West Point recently for use toward the new athletic
complex. Col. Blaik is still one of classiest sports figures
I’ve ever met. ;
-I still can’t believe Valley View realistically wants to’
compete in the Wyoming Valley Football Conference.
The Cougars have been a powerhouse in the Scranton
area for years and has too much tradition in that area to
make a jump down this way.
--It came as a surprise when I learned Dallas mat boss
Larry Schuler was going to resign at the end of the
season. It’s no secret Larry became a bit disenchanted
over the last couple of years. It’s going to again put the
Dallas school board in a situation where they’re faced
with a sagging program that needs someone to inject
some instant enthusiasm. Mounts have had too many
good wrestlers in the past to ignore the program.
-Several mat buffs inquired last week as to whom I
thought was the best collegiate heavyweight wrestler
I’ve seen? My favorite is Jim Nance, a two-time NCAA
and was slick and overpowering.

came through against Meyers as we predicted
previously. My congratulations to the team and coaching
staff for a superb performance and season. I'm only
sorry I couldn’t have been there, but I was preparing for
the EWL Tournament in Cleveland over the weekend.
When I discussed the return meet with Coach Hitchcock,
he was quite confident and told me where the difference
would occur this time around. Shorty was right on the
button.
--Already putting together my list of the Eleven Elite
Schoolboy grid prospects for Eastern Football. We check
with various coaches and ask them to rate the prospects.
Then we sort of do a cross check. In the three previous
years we’ve been quite successful. Bill Fralic of Penn
Hills, who signed with Pitt, is obviously the top player in
the East and some parts of the country this season.
the list.
Football News, which is ever so pro Big 10, listed
Michigan as the pre-season No. 1 team. That’s nice, but if
1 recall the Wolverines need a QB? If I was forced to
select a Super Seven right now the following teams would
be in it: ‘USC, Alabama, Oklahoma, UCLA, Michigan,
Penn State and Nebraska. Don’t underestimate the Pitt
Panthers either.
--Irem Golfers getting a mite uneasy about not having
a pro and the season only several weeks away. One thing
is for sure, they're not short on applicants.
