Mark Duda will be leaving for
the St. Louis Cardinals’ pre-season
camp this weekend. The former
Valley West standout had an out-
standing career at Maryland where
he captured all-ACC laurels.
Mark has always been one of my
favorite players simply because he
was aggressive and always came to
play.
Defensive coordinator Gib
Romaine, who recruited Mark,
says, ‘I’ve coached some great
linemen at Maryland. Randy White
was the first and I guess a lot of
people naturally compare our
defensive players to him. Overall,I
believe Mark ranks with the best
I’ve coached. He played hurt and
his performance level never fell
off. I never had to worry about him
getting outmuscled fzaing
anyone.’
I stopped last week to wish Mark
the best in his initial training
camp. I was confident when he
headed off to Terp Country that he
would be a winner and I have the
same confidence he will enjoy
another successful career with the
Cards.
“I feel I'm in the best physical
condition I’ve ever been in since
I’ve been playing football,” Mark
said last week. ‘I’ve been pumping
iron ‘and doing my daily. running.
I've helped Coach Mick Gorham on
occasion, too. It’s been a good
summer and I’m looking forward to
camp.”
Mark was tabbed on the fourth
round. He had some feelers from
the USFL, but didn’t give them any
serious consideration.
He said, “I didn’t waste a lot of
time hassling over a contract. My
agent negotiated a very fair deal
and I signed right after mini-
camp.”
Duda opened some eyes at the
mini workouts with an eye-popping
4.8 40. He has got to learn some
new techniques, but I don’t see any
problems once he gets some experi-
ence under his belt. I'm confident
he will get his share of playing
time early on and once he is
established he will win a starting
berth as a DT.
Mark said, ‘‘I got the chance ‘to
meet some of the veterans and I
felt very comfortable around them
and the coaches. They all seemed
to want to help. One thing for sure,
it’s all business. I’ve got to go to
camp and prove myself. There
were no no-cut deals offered.
You've got to prove you can com-
pete on that level.”
Why am 1 so confident about
Mark’s ability and drive?
I went down to see the Terps play
in ’81 against North Carolina.
Coach Romaine had informed me
early in the week Mark was ques-
tionable because of a bad ankle. He
didn’t participate in pre-game
warm-ups because he was getting
his ankle re-taped. He lined up on
the first play and the Tar Heels ran
right at him, double teaming him
and sending: a lead back up the
hole, too. Duda was knocked off the
line of scrimmage and into his own
backfield. He picked himself up
and proceeded to do a number the
remainder of the afternoon on one
leg.
Mark proved to me. when he
played for the Spartans of Valley
West he was a winner. I’m sure if
he is healthy, he will make the
Cards a better team defensively.
Then the Duda family will be
making some trips to St. Louis.
CLIPBOARD NOTES: SEC
Sports Journal came out with its
pre-season All-SEC football selec-
tions and Auburn dominatd the
team with six players of the 25
selected. What sort of surprised me
was Alabama placed only one
player on the elite unit, quarter-
back Walter Lewis, one of my
favorites. He is 2-0 as a starter
against Penn State and will be
going for his third straight against
the Nittany Lions this year. :
Matt Cavanaugh, the QB who led
Pitt to the ’76 national crown; is
rumored to be headed back. to
Pittsburgh with the new USFL §
team. He has been with the New
England Pats for the past few
years, but never really got the
opportunity to settle in as the No. 1
guy. ”
Did anyone watch the NBA draft
last week? It was about as exciting
as watching rain. Two years from
now, 75 percent of the folks that
make it will be traded anyhow.
I am still attempting to put a
Super Seven together for the
coming football season. I have
noticed several other people have
finally realized the potential of the
Auburn Tigers and are ranking
them pretty high. Notre Dame has
also been mentioned, but the Irish
still lack a top-notch QB. Nebraska
has some obvious talent as does
Oklahoma, Texas and SMU. USC.
will be as formidable as always.
Michigan and Ohio State will be
ordinary as usual. Penn State will
have a crackerjack defense and a
must find someone capable of pull-
ing the trigger. Georgia has also
received some notoriety, but the
Dogs have never really impressed
me even with Herschel. Clemson
and North Carolina will be good.
From these teams will come my
Super Seven. just as soon as ‘I
huddle with some of my coaching
pals and evaluate some things.
Meanwhile, I have to salute the
Fox Hill Country Club committee
for its format in the recent Allen
each day of medal play for the
teams in championship flight.
Match play isn’t my bag. I wish
more tournaments would go to
medal play.
