Clipboard Notes:
- Gordon Dietrick and
Miller Frederick turned in
a 58 in the qualifying
round of the IGA Cup
better-ball at Irem Temple
Country Club last Satur-
day to’ capture medalist
honor while Richard and
Bob Saul were right
behind with a 59.
Two “eagles were
recorded during the quali-
fying rounds. Tom Turner
canned his on the par five
fourth hole, while Ray
Cecconi made his on the
par five 13th by sinking a
12-foot putt.
- ABC TV’s overall cov-
erage of the recent U.S.
Open left a lot to be
desired. They ignored the
effort of eventual cham-
pion Larry Nelson on Sat-
urday. What irked me was
they focused in on a small
group of golfers. Heck, I
wanted to see some of the
other players and how
they were managing their
shots.
I’m a bit tired of hearing
about the ‘dashing Seve
Ballesteros’ and his
strengh.
- I can’t help wondering
about the golf scribes that
once wrote Tom Watson
was a choker? To me he’s
a superb player and did a
heckuva job defending his
be a heap ‘of pressure on
him to repeat.
- Lanny Wadkins had an
outstanding tournament
with a closing round 69
and received little expo-
sure and recognition from
the ABC crew.
- Calvin Peete and Andy
North, the two pros which
I featured in our recent
Golf Supplement, came
through in fine fashion.
Peete was his usual steady
self in finishing fourth,
while North tied for
eighth. Both golfers “told
me they felt their games
were reaching the. consist-
ency to make strong bids
for Open title. North won
in
he’s capable of winning a
major title which is one of
his goals.
- Tony Cella, Fox Hill’s
popular pro, claims after
reading my story about
historic Water Gap Coun-
try Club, that Walter
Hagen’s course record of
65 is even more remarka-

ble, considering the course
played much tougher than,
compared to the present.
Cella played the course
some years go and related
it had more trees and nar-
rower fairways. Hagen’s
seven under is some feat.
- Penn State’s defending
Eastern Mat champs will
face Wilkes College wres-
tling team here on
Wednesday evening, Feb-
ruary 1. Coach Rich Lor-
enzo’s nationally ranked
Nittany Lions rate an
early season edge in cap-
turing their third straight
EMP. Rich informed me
his two week camp is
booked to capacity for the
second-straight year.
- Joyce Aschenbrenner,
Pitts’ splendid and award
winning Football Sports
Information Director, has
accepted the position of
Sports Information Direc-
tor at UNLV. I’m going to
miss her cooperation with
my Eastern Football Mag-
azine stories and her
cheerful personality in the
Pitt press box. UNLV
gained a real gem of a
person.
- NBA fans were doing
slam dunks last ‘week
when it was learned the
pay for play loop was
expanding its play-off
format from 12 teams to
16. That’s more games and
more teams leaving only
seven sitting home. What a
farce!
- The ongoing saga of
Yankee Manager Billy
Martin is incredible when
you think of it. Martin
finds more ways to get
into trouble. I like Martin,
simply because he knows
what t takes to win with
any type of personnel.
However, I often wonder if
Billy actually creates all
of the problems? I hon-
estly didn’t believe he’d
last to the fourth of July
whén he took over for the
third time.
- Dallas fullback Grey
Kravitsky did some
rugged blocking for the
West team in recent
UNICO All-Star game.
When called on to lug the
leather he made some
tough yardage inside.
Jerry Ross, outstanding
tennis player for Dallas
Senior High School, is
transferring from Luzerne
County Community Col-
lege to King’s College and
plans to seek a position on
King’s varsity net team.
The son of Mrs. Gloria
Ross, 96 Ridge St., Shaver-
town, Ross played for
three years at Dallas High
School under coach Tom
Kilduff. In his senior year
at Dallas, he filled the
number one singles slot
and reached the PIAA Dis-
trict semi-finals, losing to
the champion G. Goria. He
also reached the district
quarter-finals in doubles in
his senior year.
His three year record at
Dallas in singles was 27-4
and his three year doubles
mark was 14-5. He was the
Wilkes-Barre Indoor
Tennis Club men’s singles
champ in 1982 and that
same year was finalist in
the Michelob consolation
bracket.
Ross plans to major in
psychology at King’s Col-
lege.
Coach Bill Eydler of
King’s said he was happy
with the decision of Ross
to enroll at King’s and to
become a team candidate.
“Local junior and senior
high school players are
recognizing the fine tennis
program King’s has dev
oped;’’ Eydler stat
“Last ‘year our top six
players. ©. were fro
regional high schools ai
we finished with the best
record, 12-4, in many
years.”
