i
Wilkes-Barre Fats
By LEE L. RICHARDS
Sports Columnist
In a typical hard hitting contest,
Dallas prevailed over Lake-
Lehman, 14-zip, and will house the
Old Shoe for the next year.
Coach Ron Rybak went into the
annual clash for the Back Mountain
bragging rights
hoping to out-
finesse Coach
Mark Kirk’s
rugged defensive-
minded Knights,
but the Black and
Gold was up to
the task.
“At the half,
we decided that
we couldn’t gen-
erate anything
with the
fancy stuff, so we decided to come
out in the second-half and run right
of scrimmage and we were able to
move the football more effectively,”
said Rybak.
Dallas and Lake-Lehman were not
able to run any sophisticated things
on offense all season. They simply
ran basic plays with solid blocking
and hoped for the best.
The Big D defenders went into the
game hoping to limit Lake-
Lehman’s Stu Thomas, as he was
the Knights’ bread-and-butter man
flung the football. By stopping
omas, they forced the Knights
into doing things which they weren’t
accustomed to doing.
Rybak said that Joe Simon’s
return to the secondary was a big
lift for his defense.
Jerry Mihalick’s kicking was
another plus for the winners.
Greg Manusky stood out on both
sides of the football as usual. He
closed out an excellent seasen by
being in on 16 tackles, giving him
140 on the year. He has had 11 sacks
and two interceptions, one returned
for an 80-yard TD. He should
receive serious consideration for
All-Star laurels.
Dallas defense closed out the
points in the last 13 quarters.
Coach Rybak has led the Mountai-
neers to a 3-1-1 mark against the
Knights in the Old Shoe clash. His
only loss came in his initial season.
FOOTBALL ODDS AND ENDS:
Former GAR Coach John Rowlands
informed me recently that he was
impressed with the overall play of
Lake-Lehman gridders Chris Van-
Gorder and Marty Onzik.
“These two youngsters played a
heckuva game against GAR. I was
told by several Lake-Lehman fans
they played tough all. year,” said
Rowlands.
When I predicted the Eagles
would be just an ordinary team this
season, I didn’t expect them to be
this bad. They aren’t even competi-
tive anymore.
Couldn’t believe a team which is
the defending national champs
would settle for a tie like Penn State
did in the Pitt game. The Panthers
clearly dominated the Nittany
Lions, but turnovers kept them in
the contest. PSU’s reign as defend-
ing champs ranks with the poorest
of all-time or close to it!
West Virginia, which called itself
the beast of the East after its win
over Pitt, got it stuck to them again
by a rugged Syracuse team. The
Orange played the toughest slate in
the East and managed a 6-5 record
which is remarkable. I wonder if
CBS has wiped the egg off its face
predicting during the WVU-Pitt
game that “The Mountaineers had
the inside track to the Sugar
Bowl’?
Rutgers pulled a sorry act in
firing its coaching staff. Head
Coach Frank Burns did a splendid
job with the scarce budget he and
his staff had to operate with. The
Scarlet Knights want to play with
the big timers in the East, but they
obviously weren’t willing to pay the
price. I know Rutgers alum Bob
Saul is disappointed. His close pal
Bill Speranza, a capable coach, is
out of a job after spending nearly 20
years as a player and coach at RU.
Talking with several roundball
coaches locally, most believe Lake-
Lehman and Dallas will be right in
the thick of the title chase this

season. Both have heady and knowl-
edgeable coaches and some dedi-
cated youngsters to work with.
At a glance I'd have to rate Coach
Rodger Bearde’s pre-season sched-
ule as a real grinder.
Here’s how I voted for Football
Writers of America All-American
defensive team: Linemen: Reggie
White, Tennessee; William Perry,
Clemson; Rick Bryan, Oklahoma;
Donnie Humphrey, Auburn; Bill
Maas, Pitt. Linebackers: Jeff Leid-
ing, Texas; Andy Ponseigo, Navy.
Deep Backs: Terry Hoage, Georgia;
Tom Flynn, Pitt; Russ Carter,
SMU; Don Rogers, UCLA. Place.
kicker, Paul Woodside, West Vir-
ginia. Punter Jimmy Colquitt, Ten-
nesee. I'm sure Penn State’s Mark
Robinson would have been A-A had
he not been injured.
The notoriety Bill Bates is receiv-
ing as a free agent with the Dallas
Cowboys is no surprise to me. I
accompanied Coach John Majors to
a high school playoff game in Knox-
ville one night to see Bates perform.
Majors liked what he saw of Bates
as a running back. He was a fixture
in the Vols secondary for four
years. I guess I was one of the few
that voted for him as an All-Ameri-
can. He's always been a heady
defender.
I keep hearing rumors that J.P.
Meck is going to be ousted as coach
at Coughlin, despite his brilliant
record. According to a source,
Meyers’ Mick Gorman has already
been approached, but has turned
down the job to stay at Mohawk
land. W-B School Board is in for
some heat if they go through with
the move as Coach Meck is very
popular with his players and Cough-
lin followers.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame’s Gerry
(Farce) Faust is on borrowed time.
Several of my college coaching pals
claim he hasn’t done the job and the
Irish defense is poorly prepared and
coached. Faust should have
retained Joe Yonto, who built cham-
pionship stop units for Ara and
Devine. The very capable Yonto is
an administrative assistant to the
Farce.

banquet set
The Dallas Gridiron Club, com-
posed of parents and friends of the
high school football team members,

ers at a banquet on Sunday, Dec. 4,

Barn, Pioneer Ave., Dallas.
The 20 senior members of the
team will be presented with jackets
and plaques, while the other under-
graduates and statisticians will
receive awards.
Ray McNulty, coach and teacher
at West Side Tech, will be the
master of ceremonies. Ron Rybak,
head football coach, will present
awards to the team members.
Heading the committee on
arrangements for the dinner are
Janice Borton, Kate Dickson and
Glenn Eyet, Club President,
assisted by all members of the club.
Other club officers are Paul Walsh,
vice-president; Marge Janosik, sec-
retary; and Ann Walsh, treasurer.

Here is a tip from the Pennsyl-
vania League of Angling Youth
(PLAY) to area youth who plan
to do some ice fishing this
winter:
If your fishing line becomes
tangled, remove it from your
reel if it cannot be straightened.
Please put the tangled line in
your pocket and take it home. Do
not leave it near the water.
Sometimes birds become
trapped and die in the line that is
left behind by careless anglers.
Discarded line is like any trash
left along the shore, but it cane
be more than just an eyesore. It
can be dangerous, so give wild-
life a helping hand - POCKET
IT!
