Wilkes-Barre Fats By LEE L. RICHARDS Sports Columnist CLIPBOARD NOTES - Former TALKING WITH BERWICK COACH George Curry last week, he told me his team did not per- form up to its normal level offensively in the North Pocono title tilt. Bulldogs won in a romp, 41-zip. Said George, ‘“We’ve had a lot better games on offense than North Pocono. We won by a big score, but our execution wasn’t as good as it has been. Overall, we had a very good football team with some excel- lent athletes. One of the keys to our success was our depth. We’d have people come in and play to the level of the starter. Our players wanted RICHARDS an undefeated season and the East- ern Conference title. We’ve been pointing for it since we walked out of Meyers Stadium a year ago.” BERWICK QB BO ORLANDO reminds me of Pitt’s Tom Flynn as a defensive back. I know the Boston College Coaches believe he could be another doug Flutie as a QB. “Bo is one of the quickest kids I've ever coached,” Curry said. “He could play five different positions. I think he could even play tailback because of his explosiveness ‘run- -0- MARYLAND COACH GIB ROMAINE was here for the cham- pionship tilt. Romaine had a nice chat with fellow golfer Jim Bam- rick. Gib and the Terps are headed for the Citrus Bowl in Florida where they’ll play Tennessee. : ; “We’ll have our hands full with the Vols,” said Romaine. ‘They have great team speed and a very solid running attack. What concerns me is the way the Vols can explode. We've got to try to keep them from making the big play and hope our offense can sustain some long scor- ing drives and keep their offense off the field.” Indicator, Scan Phone 693-0682 § All Sweaters 320% OFF | g 5 SkiPants.

MECK, Coughlin’s football coach, was to learn his fate last Friday at a hearing with the W-B school board athletic committee. Meck told me last week that it didn’t look very good for him to return as head coach next year despite three championships and an outstanding record of 66-23-3. While Meck was reluctant to men- tion the politics involved, it’s no secret the W-B board seems to be determined to oust Meck over a series of incidents on his handling of the Crusader grid program. John Joseph appears to be the likely successor, but again maybe he doesn’t have the political clout! -0- WE'RE GETTING INTO THE BOWL SEASON and it’s my favorite time of the football season. I've asked Ned Hartman, ‘The Wizard of Odds,’ to allow me to run his bowl selections the way his computer sees the games. Here’s the Wizards’ early predictions: CITRUS BOWL - Tennessee over Maryland, 25-24. HALL OF FAME BOWL - West Virginia over Kentucky, 26-19. HOLIDAY BOWL BYU over Missouri, 28-22. SUN BOWL - SMU over Alabama, 26-24. Here’s how I see the above games: I like the Vols because of their quickness and kicking game. For the Vols to triumph they must run their fullback on quick openers. They must pressure Boomer into hurrying his passes. Terps have sophisticated passing game. Also, can Vols solve Terps wide-tackle six? Against Kentucky they had problems. Vols, 31-27. -0- WEST VIRGINIA’S PLAYERS weren't happy about going to this bowl. What effect it will have men- tally remains to be seen. WVU is a cut above Wildcats, but will they want victory as much? Mountai- neers, 24-21, on a Woodside field goal. -0- I KEEP READING AND HEAR- ING how good BYU is throwing the football. Missouri is tough to run against but can the Tigers play the pass? Only two teams BYU topped with credentials was UCLA and Air Force. Tigers in an upset, 21-20. . 0c SMU GOT THE SHAFT from Sugar Bowl. The Ponnies can play defense with the best of them, while the Tide is only ordinary at best and hasn’t played like an Alabama team all season. : Gridders honored Jim Gorman.
