Wrestlers from Lake- Lehman, Dallas, Abington Heights and the Back Mountain Wrestling Club spent most of the day receiving instructions from the Penn State Staff.

He outlined some of the things which the Lion wrestlers have been doing to increase their strength and agility. That too was informative. CLIPBOARD NOTES: Many Lake-Lehman fans were still talking by the Knights against Nanticoke Area only to bow in the closing seconds.

An intensive investigation headed by the District Attorney’s Office resulted in substan- tial changes in the law and Children and Youth Services. On March 9, 1983, a large drug raid occurred and, once again, Bob Gil- lespie was there.

Dozier is going to be super player. ‘He has a lot of natural ability to make the right moves at the right times.

He mentioned that he doesn’t'have a Tony Dorsett, though. - It was nice to see Coughlin’s Ron Solt, the brilliant offensive blocker for Maryland, being mentioned for the Outland Trophy.

He was also selected to the All-Time SEC Squad. Now that’s a heap of hardware When I chatted with Coach Majors, he made it a point fo ask about his pal, Big Lou. They played against each other during their col- legiate days and became All Ameri- can and good friends. I've always believed Lou never received the recognition locally he deserved. He was one of the frue ‘great players’ I've known. - When ‘is Joe ‘Twilight’ Zone going to get off his Penn State crusade over the touchdown grab in the Alabama game?
