Wilkes-Barre Fats
By LEE L. RICHARDS
Sports Columnist
While in Pittsburgh last week 1
had the opportunity to attend the
annual Curbstone Coaches Lunch-
eon at the Allegheny Club in Three
Rivers Stadium. I was Pitt Coach
Andy Urbanic’s guest and got to
break bread with some of the Pan-
ther whips.
Bob Prince, former announcer for
the Pittsburgh Pirates, was one of
the masters of ceremeuny. Prince
was one of my all-time favorite
announcers and did a heap of pro-
moting for the Bucs.
Coach Urbanic was one of the
guest speakers and touched on some
of the highlights of Pitt’s 2-0 start.
People close to this Pitt team have
been playing down the Panthers
overall ability. They’re taking
things one game at a time. Saturday
will be a tough test when Pitt visits
Maryland and tackle the Terps
high-powered offense.
Woody Widenhofer, assistant head
coach of the Steelers, told the stand-
ing room gathering that this edition
of the Steel City team could surprise
a lot of folks before the season is

Terry was operated on back in
March. According to him it was to
be a simple type of surgery.
“T’ll attempt to throw in another
two weeks. I'm optimistic about my
chances of playing this season. On
the other hand, (Cliff) Stoudt has
performed very well. He’s playing
so well that maybe I won’t be able
to win my job back.”
Bradshaw said he’d like to play
for another four years. He claims
he’s in tip-top condition.
One Steeler buff asked him to
compare this year’s defensive unit
with the Steel Curtain. Terry
replied: ‘The Steel Curtain was
good for seven points every game.
They simply intimidated people
This group will make its own repu-
tation, but there was only one Steel
Curtain.”
The luncheon was a classy affair.
CLIPBOARD NOTES: Despite
being in pennant race, Pirates still
aren’t the drawing card in Pitts-
burgh you'd expect. Sunday they
drew a little over 19,000 against the
Phillies. It’s a sorry situation...How
about our All-East running back
Troy Stradford’s performance
against Clemson? He’s only a sopho-
more at Boston College and was one
of my selections to Eastern Foot-
ball’s All-East team. He's got some
ability...While in Pittsburgh it was
amusing to hear that TV folks had
not made commitment to carry
Penn State-Pitt game.
The reason: Pitt's record going
into the game? Pitt had to prove it
belonged on the same field with the
defending national champs. PSU is
one that must justify now that it
belongs and the loss to Cincinnati
didn’t help matters.
. Penn State has already gone in
record books taking worst defeat in
an opener by defending team. Nit-
tany Lions added to that by drop-
ping second consecutive game,
while being a 27-point favorite.
While many PSU fans were
scrambling around after the
Nebraska onslaught, one asked me
if the Orange Bowl folks would
extend Nittany Lions an invite and
possible rematch with the powerful
Huskers? I doubted that very much
because of the way the Huskers
dominated the Lions.
