The Dallas Post's wrestling
clinic at Lake-Lehman High
School recently was a huge suc-
cess. 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.
Coach Rich Lorenzo said, ‘I
was impressed with all of the
youngsters and how piteniive
they were. They
were a great
group of young-
sters and I hope
helped.

Coach Dana Balum, a former Nit-
tany Lion wrestler, claims Coach
Lorenzo is one of the finest clini-
cians around.
Lorenzo had along his strength
coach, Phil Kennedy. 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. Knights have been quite
competitive and give a good effort
every week. A big play or two and
they could have won the Meyers and
Nanticoke contests. Coach Mark
Kirk has that intangible of being
On March 1, 1982, the
body of Angela Shaugh-
nessy was found in Nanti-
coke and Bob Gillespie
was there. 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. Using
funds from gambling for-
feitures to get the drug
pushers off the street is
one of the District Attor-
ney’s proudest ‘accom-
plishments.

when police raided the
Club Vegas, Bob Gillespie
was with them.

- I mentioned several weeks back
West Virginia would meet defeat at
the hands of the Nittany Lions.
WVU being fourth in the polls was a
laugher.
- Had a nice conversation recently
with Tennessee Coach John Majors
and he told me that he believes
PSU’s D.J. Dozier is going to be
super player. ‘He has a lot of
natural ability to make the right
moves at the right times. I liked
Curt Warner, but this youngster
could be even better from the film
I've seen,” says Major.
John told me his Vols are doing
certain things as well as his great
1976 Pitt team did. 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. Solt is perhaps
one of the best pulling and pass
season.
- Army made a significant addi-
tion to is broadcasting team when
the Cadets hired former Coach Tom
Cahill to handle the color of their
football games. Cahill, one of the
best coaches I've ever been around,
has received rave reviews accord-
ing to Army Sports Information
Director, Bob Kinney. Looking for-
ward to visiting with my two pals

game.
- Football season is winding down
the local front and fans around the
Back Mountain are already pointing
for the annual Dallas-Lake-Lehman
clash. right now Coach Ron Rybak’s
Mountaineers rate a slight edge
simply because of (heir offense
However, Lake-Lehman’s defense is
stingy. There will be some excellent
matchups.
- Maybe I'm old fashioned, but
local schoolboy football just hasn't
been the same since they did away
with the Thanksgiving Day clashes.

- Big Lou Michaels is being nomi-
nated for the Pennsylvania Hall of
Fame, an honor which is long over-
due. No lineman from this end of
the state has ever received the
awards Lou has while two-time All-
American at Kentucky. Here's just
2 few: Birmingham QB Club MVP
for the SEC; Washington Touch-
down Club and Atlanta Touchdown
Club Lineman of the Year; Nash-
ville Banner SEC MVP. 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? The thing is
history and all the harping isn’t
going to change the minds of mil-
lions. The catch was legit, Joe. also,
this was one reason why the polls-
