Wilkes-Barre Fats
BY LEE L. RICHARDS
CLIPBOARD NOTES: The Sporting News recently
featured a story about the Coach, Jack Gallagher.
Evidently the movie ‘“That Championship Season’ had
some resemblance to Coach Gallagher’s outstanding
Scranton Prep team of 1961. Plymouth native Neil
Amdur did the TSN story and was full cognizant of Coach
Gallagher’s life. He was a good one!
--While several people seemed surprised with the
resignation of Penn State roundball coach Dick Harter, I
wasn’t. I learned two years ago the folks from Happy
Valley weren’t happy at the way Harter was running
things. Despite recruiting efforts by St. Joe and big bucks
put into having a top-shelf program, Harter couldn’t
succeed.
--The Philly News mentioned in its story about Harter
that he was tired of playing third fiddle behind the foot-
ball and wrestling programs. Heck, if the Nittany Lion
matmen received the big bucks Harter did, they'd
challenge Iowa for the NCAA team title. Can’t help but
wonder if Harter took notice the wrestlers just finished
seventh last week in the NCAA tourney and were sixth in
19817
--The next person that mentions the NBA race to me
will be the: first.
--A lot of my golfing friends are getting anxious to start
chasing the little white, orange or yellow ball around. I’m
looking forward to teeing it up at the Water Gap Country
Club. Manager Al Broda informed me last week they're
shooting for an April 1 opening date, but officially will go
Friday, April 22.
--Pitt Coach Foge Fazio is seeking an offensive coor-
dinator. Joe Daniels left the Panthers for the Cleveland

Browns. He’s got a very capable man on the present staff
in Andy Urbanic. He’s be my choice.
--Some of my boxing contacts never heard of the guy
Larry Holmes is bringing to Scranton for a workout. I
heard he was ranked 20th. Holmes will carry hinm for at
chman. Channel 28 got a mite carried away with its
reporting, saying the city of Scranton would reap
millions from the title go. Where's the money going to
come from, folks?
--The annual NCAA Roundball chase is underway and I
enjoy seeing the no-names do away with teams that get
all of the notoriety.
After attempting to evaluate’all of the teams, I gotta
believe there’s so much balance that there is no clear-cut
favorite for North Carolina’s title. Scratch the following
teams from the crown: Virginia, Kentucky, Houston, St.
John’s, and UNLV.
—-One matchup I'd pay to see would be Louisville and
uppity Kentucky. It could come off, too. Kentucky
refuses to recognize Louisville and will not play the
Cards. I like Coach Denny Crum’s chances of leading his
team all the way. Wouldn't that be a shot to Joe B. Hall
with the best team money can buy?
Most of the Eastern Wrestling League coaches took in
the Pennsylvania State school boy championships at
Hershey over the weekend. Most believed this was not as
talented a group as the previous couple of years. Phil
Mary, going for his third consecutive title, drew the most
attention and could be leaning toward Clarion.
How about those upsets in the opening rounds of the
NCAA? Lamar over Alabama, James Madison over
WVU and Utah over Illinois. Way to go!

Tennis talent coming
out” of Wyoming Valley
high schools has been
considered inferior to
other sections of the east.
That was the feeling on
the King’s College tennis
scene--until this year, for
example.
Coach Bill Eydler,
starting his fourth year as
net coach of the Monar-
chs, said his long-range
plan is to build a team to
challenge for honors in
the Middle Atlantic
Conference.

After sweeping a
weekend pair of matches
on the road from Ran-
dolph-Macon College and
Shippensburg State by
identical 7-2 scores,
Eydler is becoming op-
timistic about King’s
conference outlook.
Take a closer look at the
six players who made up

Kneal of Kingston played
for Wyoming Valley West
a year ago.
“It shows that tennis in
the area is on the up-
swing,” said Eydler, who
is also tennis coordinator
for the Wilkes-Bary
Recreation Board. ‘If
can add a few players
from area high schools
each year as we did this
year, our program will be
on target. 2
