Cross-country, field hockey, bas-
ketball, track - Junior Amy Aston
participates in all of them with
determination to win and win she
does.
The 5 foot 3 inch, 115-1b. Dallas
High School athlete has been suc-
cessful in all four sports. Last
season, she was a member of the
league-winning Dallas girls’ basket-
ball team. This season, she was the
only Dallas student to run in the
Cross Country Districts and came in
second to qualify for state competi-
tion where she won a medal for
placing in the top 20.
Amy also played link on this
season’s field hockey team - the
first team from Dallas to win the
District championship and advance
to Regionals. Track and basketball
are still ahead of her for this year.
Amy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
David Aston, is also an honor stu-
dent at Dallas High School.

AMY ASTON
None of the above have been easy
for Amy this year. She has risen far
above what anyone might expect of
her for she has a year of numerous
lows in her life.
The most serious of these was her
older brother’s (Bill) death in a
motor vehicle accident, a terrific
Dallas Post/Ed Campbell
Hall, Peter Austin,
Club; and Slocum.

blow to Amy, who was very close to
her big brother. Through the aid of
her parents, Amy bounced back
from the tragedy only to suffer a
second time.
This time it was the critical injury
incurred by her mother while riding
a 10-speed bicycle. Her mother lost
control of the bike and hit a tomb-
stone, suffering severe head inju-
ries.
Amy and her younger brother,
John, junior high students, contin-
ued with their activities encouraged
by their dad but spent every free
moment at their mother’s side.
After weeks of recuperating, her
mother was back at the games
following Amy’s progress in hockey.
Looking back at the past months,
Amy realizes it was her parents,
her coaches and her friends who
kept her determined to win.
She conditioned for cross country
running through hockey practice
and when she requested an oppor-
tunity to run in the District competi-
tion, the Dallas coach agreed. For
her first year in the running she
placed 16th to bring home a medal.
Amy has played hockey since
ninth grade but until this year
played halfback.
“This year as link, I believe I did
a much better job,” said the junior.
She was named to the Wyoming
Valley All Scholastic team and also
received a medal as Division AAA
championship team member.
Now Amy is practicing for basket-
ball, a sport in which she has
participated since seventh grade.
“We lost most of our starters
through graduation but with Coach
Karuza and Assistant Coach Mich-
elle Kravitsky if we work hard, I
believe we should do quite well,”
predicted Amy.
In track, she takes part in the
800m run, mile run and mile relay.
During the summer, Amy plays
softball with the American Legion’s
women’s team.
Which is her favorite sport? Amy
thought it over carefully before
answering, ‘I think that I have to
say field hockey, it is so exciting
and it is so fast, but I like the other
sports, too. os
“I also believe that taking part in
extracurricular activities gives you
incentive for doing better academi-
cally. You need to do well in one to
do well in the other.” =
Amy wants to attend college and
major in sports medicine. In the
meantime, any leisure time she has
she spends with her family or -
friends.

It was a game the University of
Pennsylvania football team had to
win to stay in contention for the Ivy
League title. More than 30,000
people journeyed to Penn’s Franklin
Field to watch the Quakers batle
Princeton in the annual Homecom-
ing game. In a tense second half, it
was a strong pass rush on Prince-
ton’s quarterback by sopomore Ken
Coombs, a native of Trucksville,
that helped Penn seal a crucial 28-27
victory.
Coombs’ defensive line play was
rated best that day by Penn’s
coaches, who used him this season
as a defensive end on passing
downs. The sophomore finished the
year with 24 tackles and two fumble
recoveries in his first season of
varsity play for the Quakers who
won a share in the Ivy League title
by defeating Darmouth.
“Ken made a significant contribu-
tion to our defense,” said Ed
Zubrow, defensive line coach.
