Ra Ra - PAGE TEN Wilkes-Barre Fats BY LEE L. RICHARDS Despite 1-4 record Lake-Lehman Coach Mark Kirk still somewhat is optimistic about the remainder of the season. No team yet has run over and completely man- handled the rambunctious Knights. Kirk says, “I feel a team must play competitive teams early in the season. I feel thus far we’ve played within the framework of our system. Our offense still put a lot of points on the board, I gotta believe we’re making strides in the right direction.” Defensively, Lake-Lehman has turned in one deter- mined effort after another. This is Kirk’s initial season at the helm of the Lake- Lehman program and many observers believe once the transition period is over things will head in a positive Defensively, linemen Eric Masters, Steve Hagenbach and Kevin Straka have converged on ball carriers with some sure tackling. Bob Miller has racked up his share of pops from his LB slot. Tom Yoniski another LB, and - Chris Boyle, safety, have performed steady. Runners Q. Walczak and Tracey Slocum aren’t bur- ners, but they do hit it tough going North-South. QB John Williams has grasped the new system very well, accord- ing to Kirk. Kirk observed, “We've got six games left and if we continue to improve each week, we could win a few down the stretch. This is a very physical league. Teams just line up and come right at you. We're not able to match up different things defensively.” =Isn’t there entirely too much hype concerning the Heisman Trophy? It was absurd to read where PSU’s Curt Warner was out of the running after not rushing for a100 yards in State’s first game. Heck, these guys aren’t supermen. I firmly believe the Heisman is the most over- rated award presented in sports. g Speaking of the Heisman, I got a chuckle reading Roger Stanton of Football News proclaim his leading candidates, among them QT Blair Kiel of Notre Dame? way they cater to Michigan and Notre Dame. I know Irish aren’t Big Ten but it’s obvious which teams are their favorites, especially any of the ones doing any advertising. Blair Kiel? ~Based on pure athletic ability, Mark Ambrose, Wyoming Sem QB, is the best in Valley this season. He's got all the tools. Pirates Willie Stargell will be a fixture on the Pitt Panther sidelines for the remainder of the football season. Willie is an avid Panther buff. —-Aren’t most TV announcers overdoing it with their great one does come along they would not recognize him. ~Many of the local pro golfers played the Water Gap tough Pocono layout to its knees. Fox Hill’s Tony Cella won. Our touring Players Club rates the Water Gap as the top course we’ve played this summer. Mount Airy is the most challenging. Pocono Manor also rates with the best. That’s the East Course. --When is the last time a predominately pure passing team has captured the National grid title? Most of the teams I recall had a sound defense and solid ground attack. --Does any local schoolboy coach do a better job mani- pulating his personnel than Wyoming Area boss Paul Marranca? -I won’t be least bit surprised to see the NFL owners write off this season and start from scratch next July. Tip of the hat to Lake-Lehman gridder Bob Miller for responding at a recent assembly to some unwarranted letters which appeared in another weekly that was un- complimentary to Knights’ Coach Mark Kirk. Way to go Bob! --Several Dallas roundball fans have inquired for my opinion regarding new coach Clarence Ozgo? He'll be a winner and build a sound program. —-Coach Andy Urbanic of Pitt told me last week the Panthers welcomed the open week to regroup and get some of their front line players healthy. Urbanic said, “We played four top-notch football teams. All four were ranked in the top 20 and performed very well against us. I think our offensive team showed some very positive points in the fourth quarter against West Virginia. We know now what ares we’ve got to improve on and we'll get it done.” / --It always disturbs me when college fans boo their own team, especially at home. That's strictly sorry. Penn State fans did it last season and I noticed the Pitt fans did it last Saturday during the West Virginia: game. --Pal Chris ‘“‘Endzone’’ Kirias attended PSU-Alabama game. Chris was rooting for the Tide all the way. Friday he got a chance to meet Coach Bear Bryant. --My early season selection for Coach of the Year honors would be West Virginia’s Don Nehlen. I just feel he’s put together a very competitive program in the three years he’s been in Morgantown. --Rodger Bearde will be an excellent adminstrator in his new post as Lake-Lehman Athletic Director. Coach Bearde has always impressed me with his organization and attention to little things. The key to GAR’s victory over Dallas was its smothering defense and its speed, coupled with Dallas’ inability to pass effectively.

With many hunters and trappers about to roam Pennsylvania’s woods and fields, the State Health Department has issued a few safety reminders and some practical advice. | Dr. Ernest Witte, director of the Depart- ment’s Division of Epid- emiology, said 64 cases of rabies have been reported { in Pennsylvania this year. This compares to 14 cases for all of 1981. Luzerne County has reported three cases of the disease and Wyoming County two. Animals affected in Pennsylvania are skunks, racoons, bats, groundhogs and several dogs. Racoons have been the animal reported infected most often this year. Two cases of rabies in groundhogs have been reported and Witte said this is the first time since 1962 the disease has been spotted in this animal. He suggested several control measures for hunters including sick strangely acting animals of any species, domestic or wild, may be dangerous and should not be picked up or handled; avoid keeping wild, animals as pets as they could be incubating and cats; leash dogs and cats if they are outside; license dogs so they can be traced if they stray from home. Anyone bitten or other- wise traumatized should seek medical help im- mediately. : Hunters are also reminded that their own physical condition is of most importance as the season begins. Dr. Donald Reid, executive = deputy secretary for Public Health Programs warns hunters, especially middle-aged or older to prepare for the rigors of the sport. “Each year heart at- tacks and strokes take their toll of hunters, many because they were ill- prepared for the physical exertion the sport calls for,” said Reid. Preparation for hunting should be carried out like * any other sport. Training should begin with a physical examination. Light exercise should follow, building up over the weeks. Conditioning should concentrate on the legs, with secondary emphasis on the arms, chest and back. ( woods isn’t like walking down the street. There’s uneven terrain, high grass, fallen branches, thickets, streams, fence- rows and a dozen other obstacles to get over, under, through and around, while wearing heavier = shoes - and clothing than were worn all summer, and carrying a gun that weighs seven or eight pounds,” he ex- plained. ia “This places a great demand on the respira- tory and circulatory systems which the un- conditioned body may not be able to meet.” x no
