Quest
By LEE RICHARDS
| Did a local Penn State
{ football player’s Father
contact Florida State
around this time last year
about his son transferring?
When will someone ask
if this isn’t the best NBA
team of all-time now that
the 76ers finally the cap-
tured title?
Hasn’t the caliber of
play in the USFL grad-
ually improved from week
to week as predicted?
Will baseball be able to
take a whole week without
George Steinbrenner not
around the Yankees?
Will we ever see a
heavyweight champion
with the dignity and style
demonstrated by all-time
great, Jack Dempsey?
Will The NBA set
another record next season
with number of players
and coaches moving to dif-
ferent teams?
Aren’t the Philadelphia
Stars only a couple of
players shy from being the
best team in the city of
Brotherly Love?
I’m curious as to how
much of a factor was Stars
prexy Carl Petersen in the
Eagles’ overall success?
Hasn't he done wonders
with new USFL squad?
Will the time ever come
{ when all of the foolishness
ceases in recruiting colle-
giate prospects?
Will the day come when
professional athletes stop
receiving preferential
treatment when they
break the law?
Will schoolboy sports
revert back to being just
ordinary if the PIAA puts
the lid on all off-season
{ programs in Pennsyl-
} vania?
Isn’t some facets of the
v PIAA’s proposed restric-
tions on-high- school sports
programs out of the cave-
man era?
Why is the PIAA over-
loaded with people that
are not sports oriented?
CLIPBOARD NOTES: A
lot of Lake-Lehman fans
have called my attention
to Jill Solinski. She’s a fine
all-around athlete and one
of best softball performers
locally. I understand she
Regatta Is
The grand finale of the
Harveys Lake Homecom-
ing Festival will com-
mence at dusk June 19
with the night regatta.
Terry Jones, chairman
of the event, announces
that the regatta will
include lighted sail . and
power boats and a ‘party
boat’ with live music fea-
turing a five piece band.
The regatta will form near
the ‘Yacht Club and pro-
ceed counter clock-wise
around the lake. After the
regatta has passed
ions
can hit the golf ball, too.
I tip my hat to Irem’s
Bob Valatka and Fox
Hill’s Len Coleman on win-
ning the recent member-
guest golf tournament at
Irem Temple. The two
players combined for a
five-under par 67 on the
the conditions that was
some mighty fine playing.
Chet Blazick and Joe
Hritzick finished second
only a stroke back. Chet
and Bob are two very
steady players.
Fox Hill’s defending club
champ, Carlisle Robinson,
appears to be on top of his
game as usual. CR. is
considered one of the best
putters around and a
where he tees up the ball.
Lake-Lehman golf coach
Mike Sharok tells me he’s
going to be touring the
courses in the poconos
over the summer. Mike is
doing a good job with the
Knights. He’s got a knowl-
edge of the basics.
Dallas’ Steve Federici is
going to concentrate on
baseball when he heads to
college in the fall. Steve
was a rugged QB for the
Mountaineers.
Irem Pro Barry Flies
and wife Sherry did a
splendid job in running a
smooth tournament
despite the adversity of
the weather. Jim Smith
and Mark Howell kept all
of the euipment for the
players in tip-top shape,
too. i
Having recently played
Water Gap Country Club, I
still have to marvel at
former golfing great
Walter Hagen’s course
record 65; seven under
par, which he set during
the Eastern Open in 1926.
The remarkable Hagan
and 67 for a 273 total to
capture the title. His 65 is
still the Gap’s course
record.
Dan Federici should
have won a prize for best
dressed in Irem member-
rain in shorts, jogging
shoes and rain jacket
ready to play. Way to go,
Dan!

ton nine while fanning: 14

man sent him home with
