CLIPBOARD NOTES: The Col-
lege football season got off to a
bang last week with the embarrass-
ment of Penn State’s Nittany Lions
by the powerful Nebraska Cornhus-
kers. Nebraska completely domi-
nated the game, but several things
surprised me:
Penn State came on the field with
the No. 1 sign clearly evident.
During the pre-game hoopla, PSU
folks attempted to down play the
significance of the game, but were
first in line for the half-million
dollar payoff. Once again, St. Joe
(Paterno) outsmarted himself by
not having a capable quarterback
ready to step into the line of fire. He
has a history of not having a QB
groomed when his senior starter
departs. I was also surprised at how
the Big Red exploited the PSU
defense which I believed was going
to be very heady and aggressive
this season.
So much for the bad news, Nit-
tany Lion buffs. Now for the good
news. I've got a hunch the Lions
will still win eight or nine games.
Why? Simply because they do have
enough solid performers to match-
up with the remaining teams on
their schedule, perhaps with the
exception of Alabama and Notre
Dame. The only drawback in these
two games could be coaching.
Whether or not. Ray Perkins can
have the tide prepared as thor-
oughly as the Great One did
remains to be seen. Gerry Faust
(Farce) hasn't been a world
beaterwith the Irish, either.
Regular

Overall, I'd be willing to wager
the Lions will be close to or in the
Top 10 at season’s end and headed
for a bowl clash.
Here’s my revised Super Seven:
1. Nebraska, 2. Auburn, 3. Okla-
homa, 4. North Carolina, 5. USC, 6.
Alabama, 7. Florida State.
I’ve mentioned previously. that if I
had my choice of college QBs,
Nebraska’s Turner Gill and Ala-
bama’s Walter Lewis would be my
selections to handle the offense.
Both are very similar in running the
option and throwing the football.
Neither is mentioned on the A-A
check lists, which is ludicrous.
Another fact regarding PSU down
through the years has been the
Lions’ inability to cope with any
team that runs the option such as
Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee in
the 1970s, Nebraska and Ohio State
when Woody had the Buckeyes.
I found it amusing how Channel
16’s Joe ‘‘Twilight”” Zone was
stunned when media from around
the country started rapping Penn
State during the Nebraska blowout.
Zone can't be so naive to believe
Penn State is America’s team, can
earned. All of the media hype can’t
make believers out of cynics, Joe.
Every college football team has a
disaster plan. St. Joe will imple-
ment his,’ make the necessary per-
sonnel adjustments and strive for
some much needed continuity. One
game isn’t time enough to make an
accurate appraisal.

tackle Bill Fralic (6-5, 290) flattened

who tutored Bill at Penn Hills High,
made this sideline observation: ‘He
looked like a bowling ball there.
Boom, boom, boom. He does it right
in front of the grandstand, too. Even
2 bind man could appreciate those
its.”
On the local scene, I keep hearing
promising things concerning the
Dallas gridders getting some
mental toughness. I guarantee you
one thing, Coaches Chuck Suppon
and Bill Silvi aren’t ones to sit back
when folks aren’t carrying out their
assignments. Head Coach Ron
Rybak has two very dedicated guys
there.
I was glad to see Judge Art
against the PIAA and allow Dave
Blazejewski to suit up and play for
the Crusaders. What is ironic about
the alleged recruiting infraction
posed to have done, is that not one
local grid coach bad-mouthed Meck,
but took his side. The incident
involving the PIAA was just another
humpty-dumpty venture. Several
football coaches cited Hoban’s
recruitment of swimmers and never
being called on the carpet, yet when
players leave the city school,
they're the first ones to cry foul!
Wasn't it a bit absurd that several
bowl scouts were on hand for the
Nebraska-PSU game last week?
The Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture and the American Dairy
sponsor a 10K run and a two-mile
fun run on Oct. 30, beginning at 11

ners (S.0.A.R.) and will be a
S.0.A.R. Grand Prix Race.

Courthouse Square, Scranton, and
follow most of the Scranton Times
course.
Registration will be conducted
between 8:30 and 10 a.m. the day of
the race.
