Child Welfare, Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol. Wilkes-Barre Fats ‘By LEE L. RICHARDS Sports Columnist It’s strictly my opinion: The commotion over the Alabama TD in the closing seconds of the Penn State game recently drew a lot of questions again about the officiating at Beaver Stadium. The rash of bad calls started in 1981 during Alabama’s win over State. Penn State benefited in that game on a questionable pass interference call which gave the Nittany Lions eight downs from the seven-yard line and they still couldn’t score. Last season, PSU’s rally against Nebraska was really a sorry situa- tion. Mike McCloskey obviously caught a crucial pass several yards out of bounds. One of the refs ruled it a catch. The winning TD grab was also questionable. Once again on national TV the Nittany Lions benefited from some shabby calls. This occurred in the Pitt contest on a fair catch interpre- tation and Jon Williams’ fumble [inside State’s own 20. to know if there is different rules for different folks? Penn State played an exceptional wotball game against Alabama and deserve credit. However, when Jack O’Rourke, an eastern official, ruled the Tide’s apparent winning TD wasn’t any good, it detracted from PSU’s glory. The receiver pulled in the football with his back to O’Rourke, who was out of position to make the call. The receiver clearly ‘had position of the ball before he rolled out of bounds. Meanwhile, there’s an old adage which my Dad used to stress during his coaching days: ‘‘Good teams and good athletes should never allow themselves to get in a situa- tion where an official’s call could determine the outcome.” So I can’t really feel too sorry for Alabama. But, it seems awful strange that in every big game for PSU at Beaver Stadium the name of one official keeps popping up - Don Guman. He happens to be the father of former PSU star, Mike Guman. There’s a lot of athletic officials around the east questioning PSU officials concerning Guman working PSU games. His timely 15-yard penalty killed a Maryland TD drive in 1982 and he was in the Nebraska and Pitt games last season, also. That’s not very professional. versy is Penn State’s moment of glory is' clouded by a blown call. and the Department of Road and Bridges. county agencies. Dear Friends, House. Mike have bombarded State College wi phone calls and letters. It’s sad for: college football to see eastern offici- ating in such an amateurish state. CLIPBOARD NOTES: Dallas assistant Chuck Suppon called Hanover’s victory over Wyoming Valley West. He informed me at the Coughlin-Meyers game that the Hawks would prevail. Bob Mugford, one of the more realistic Penn State alumnae that I know, told me he had a hunch that the Nittany Lions could upset Ala- bama. Joe “Twilight” Zone of Channel 16 was elated to have clips of the controversial TD catch. The only problem was the replay was incon- clusive and didn’t show how far over the line the Tide receiver was. You couldn’t see referee O’Rourke around either because he was seven to eight yards behind the play! I heard rumors last week that opponents call Beaver Stadium, “The home of the 12th man!”’ Another PSU critic claims the field is unfair since PSU can stretch or retract it to fit its needs. The Tide followers are irate 7] performer? He and Joe Morga simply know how and what it takes to win. I credit Rose for making the Phillies what they are, because when he came from the Reds, the Phils started to put things together. I gotta believe the Phillies knew they could win when they went into series with the Bucs. There isn’t a better team in pro football at running trap plays than the Pittsburgh Steelers. I believed that when the Oilers canned Coach Bum Phillips that was the end of their winning ways. Old Bum has the Saints winning now. Coach Don Shula said at the time that, “Bum was one of the best coaches in the NFL.” The Vince Ferragamo quarter- backing the Rams is the same person that wasn’t good enough to play in the CFL two years ago. He’s a splendid athlete and could guide the Rams to the playoffs. Hanover’s undefeated slate was no cakewalk.
