DENMON Staff Correspondent Lake-Lehman Knights bowed 68-54 to Bishop Hoban last week but Knight Tom Kukosky sparked his teammates to a 59-50 win over the Nanticoke Trojans three nights later. Kukosky excelled in the fourth quarter when he scered eight points on layups ‘to -lead the ‘Knights in their win. The Knights took -a 13-10 lead at the end of the first period but the Trojans came back to outscore - them 14-6 in the second quarter to take a 24-19 lead into the lockerrom at halftime. : The Lake-Lehman cagers played an excellent aggressive defense in the second half and forced the Trojans into making mistakes. They also slowed down the pace of the game and spread out the Trojan defense. The Knights took the lead at the end of the third period when Bill Bearde made a two point shot as the buzzer sounded to put his team in front’ 38-35. Bearde ‘scored the first four “shots in the fourth’ period to give the Knights a 42-35 margin. The Trojans closed the gap to 44- 40 but never got any closer and Kukosky started scoring for the Knights. Nanticoke left him open and Kukosky scurried down the court to hit the nets, scoring six of his points in the final two minutes. Paul Jones hit 16 points to lead the Knights in scoring followed by Kukosky and Bearde each with 14. In the game with the Argents, Ralph Gillespie and Mike Rinkevich combined for 38 poitns to overpower the Knights. John Andrejko added another 16 points. Leading the Knights was Bill Bearde with 15, seven from the field and one-for-two' from the floor, Jones with 15, and Scott Drugotch with 12. The Knights were 7-3 in the pre- season standings following the Nan- ticoke game. + Lake-Lehman grapplers, under new head coach Ed Ladamus, used eight wins, two of them pins, to defeat Hughesville 36-18, on Dec, 17.

DENMON Cheryl Gavigan tossed in 20 points and Kim Rollman put in 17 to lead Dallas girl cagers to a 61-28 win over Northwest Area last week. Northwest jumped out to a fast 4-0 lead in the first period but the Lady Mountaineers took over and scored thenext 16 points to lead 16-4 at the quarter. In the second period, Dallas out- scored Northwest 20-10 and took a 36-14 lead into the lockerroom at halftime. After their first four points in the opening period, Northwest never moved in front with Dallas outscor- ing them all the way. Coach Kit Karuza empited his bench in the second half as his girls outscored 16-12 and 9-2 to take the win 61-28.

Qf i Sports Columnist MORE BOWL SELECTIONS: Towa, but Gators seem to lump in bowl games. However, if Pell’s troups decide to play up to their potential they should prevail. Hawk- eyes big and strong, but lack speed of Gators. Florida, 27-24. PEACH - Strange Florida State is favored here. North Caro- lina has as much talent as any team in country. Coach Crum always seems to § have them ready § a to play ICHARDS in bowls. FSU’s best athletes are on offense, while Carolina has some superb defenders. Tar Heels, 34-31. BLUE BONNET - Okie State has lost four games by a total of 12 points. Superb defense and very average offense. Baylor may have more guns on offense. Neither team noted for sparkling bowl perform- ances. Okie State, 28-27. COTTON Texas has super defense, but lacks outstanding quarterbacking. Georgia lacks the passing game to dent Horns defense, but Dawgs can play defense, too. Texas, 20-13. FIESTA Ohio State would appear to have an edge on offense against Pitt. Buckeyes offensive line will be key. If it can handle Pan- thers like’ it did Oklahoma, Pitt bows for second straight year in bowl action. I'm still not impressed with Big 10. Pitt, 24-20. SUGAR - Auburn lives by the run and Michigan has the fifth best defense overall allowing mere 267 yards per game. Coach Bo is 2-10 in post season play. Tigers tack on 11th loss as Bo Jackson leads TD parade. Auburn has too much speed Record fish swim in Pa. ATES lakes and currents of the rivers. They came to spinners, salaman- ders, nightcrawlers and worms. They came in all sizes and shapes. They made instant heroes of those who brought them to net. And, they all had one thing in common - they were all new state record fish. After the waters calmed, there were nine new fish logged into the Pennsylvania Fish Commission’s record book. It is interesting to note that out of 26 possible categories, 14 new record fish have been established since 1980, and that there are only four records still standing that were caught previous to 1960. Such infor- mation is enough to leave those who believe the “good old days are long gone’’ gasping for breath. An 11-pound, 3-ounce largemouth taken by Donald Shade made him a believer, and Larry Ashbaugh’s 7- pound, 4-ourice smallmouth has con- firmed the fact that the Youghiogh- eny River once again is growing some bragging size fish. Georgé Krause realizes that the striper program at Raystown is working because of his 27-pound, 13- ounce monster, and Matt Kali- szewski was surprised to find a 9- pound, 9%.-ounce bowfin in Presque Isle Bay. No question, record fish are still water.

Tigers, 27-20. ROSE. - UCLA with 6-4-1 record does nothing for the glamour here. Illinois coming in with too many guns on offense and a very solid defense. Any team which can go 80 yards in less than 45 seconds against Ohio State can’t be that bad. Illinois passing game is the differ- ence, 30-17. ORANGE - What can be said about Nebraska that hasn’t already been said? Huskers have so many weapons, however they haven’t faced the passing game Miami can launch. If the Canes had its two nose guards and FB Speedy Neil I'd give them a shot, but both out with knee injuries. It will be wild scoring game and Husker secondary will get stern test. Nebraska must keep Miami offense on bench. Huskers in close one, 33-30. Here’s the predicted winners from the Wizard of Odds (Ned Hartman): Florida and Iowa to tie, 24-24; Carolina over FSU, 25-24; Okie State, 26-24; Texas, 30-25; Ohio State, 22-20; Michigan, 26-24; Illi- nois, 31-24; Nebraska, 29-12. CLIPBOARD NOTES: Lou Holtz surprise. Holtz has replaced more coaches in recent years than any major college team. Not one of your stable mentors. Look for Razor- backs to bring hometown hero Ken Hatfield of Air Force Academy to run ‘the show. He’s a good coach with more professional approach. - It’s a down year in Wyoming Most of the biggies making only token stop here and with any luck only one has legit shot at playing on that level and he’s Berwick’s Bo Orlando. - It was a sad day on Monday in the Richards home. I' opened the mail and found a nifty Christmas card from long time pal John Brun- ner of the Green Bay Packers. On the front was picture of a tree with gifts and the Packer helmet. I sensed my pal was in trouble with the Packers blowing games down the stretch. On the evening news came the word Coach Bart Starr and staff were fired. My pal Brun- ner! is out of a:coaching job. What really hurts is he:left the Lions last in the playoffs. There’s little secur- ity in coaching at any stage. - While Jim Sweeney, Pitt's superb center, didn’t receive a heap of recognition, I’ve been informed the pro scouts will select him in the early rounds. He was the best in the East and .one of the best in the country, but media people aren’t 40 Years Experience Moderate Rates / very adapt at naming centers to A- A teams. . - How about four of my All-East selections for Eastern Football - Magazine making UPI’'s NFL All- Rookie team? Pitt’s Dan Marino . and Jimbo Covert, along with Curt Warner of Penn State and Bill Pickel of Rutgers. Pickel is the interesting one. One Eastern Coach told me he thought Pickel was overrated and shouldn’t haven been on my team. I selected him two straight years along. with Warner and Covert, while Marino was a three-timer. | - After the butt kicking the Cow- boys took from the 49ers last week it is evident Dallas is mite over- rated. I’m tired of hearing about Gil - Brandt saying this player is great and that player is great. One thing is certain, Brandt hasn’t been able to discover the right chemistry to put America’s team over the top. Teams with supposedly lesser talent line-up and kick their butts. The Cowboys lack the Five Cs: Commit- ment, Competitiveness, Closeness, Continuity and Chemistry. I know there’s many factors involved in winning and losing, but I’ve always believed the ‘Five Cs are the key most significant C, Chamffions! - For what it is worth, I like the Raiders to defeat the Redskins in the Super Bowl. - In recent weeks I've had more folks tell me they’ve lost interest in Pro football. The reason is the changes in the structures of the game. You can’t block anymore, but you can hold. The defenses are supposed to allow the receiver to catch the ball. It has become a school yard game of pitch and catch. Also, the impact of drugs and agents has detracted from the glam- our and integrity. CORONA-KEROC-SUN SALES & SERVICE WE SERVICE uuu.
