Wilkes-Barre Fats
By LEE L. RICHARDS
Sports Columnist
Former Lake-Lehman wres-
tling champ, Rick Bonomo has
served notice to other collegiate
matmen around the East he’s for
real. He’s
competing at
118 pounds for
the Blooms-
burg Huskies.
Rick went
on a pinning
tear recently
racking up
five in a
week to earn
Week’ laurels for the Pennsyl-
vania Conference. He started off
his dual meet career against
Indiana State of Indiana with a
17 second pin. The next opponent
was Michigan and he showed his
foe the Bloom gym lights in 53
seconds.
Recently, Bloom participated
in the West Chester Invitational.
Rick clamped three opponents
and chalked up a superior deci-
sion. He was a big choice as the
Outstanding Wrestler for the
tourney.
Rocky is off to a fast start, too.
Both will be factors by the end of
the season in the Eastern Wres-
tling League championships. The
first two wrestlers in each weight
class, along with three wild
cards, go on to the NCAA cham-
pionships.
CLIPBOARD NOTES:
— Lake-Lehman and Dallas
matmen sure put on show for
their fans last week. The Knights
prevailed, 34-25, but Coach Larry
Schuler’s Big D lads extended
the winners. Fans from both
teams enjoyed the competition.
Both teams really went after
each other. There was six falls,
two superiors, one major, two
decisions and one draw. Knights
won six of the 12 bouts with one
ending in a tie. It was close.
Coach Ed Ladamus’ wrestlers
recorded four pins with the
clincher being Chris VanGorder
at heavy.
— My vote for the Football
Writers Asso. of America for
Coach of the Year went to
Miami’s Howard Schnellenber-
ger, even though I didn’t agree
with Miami being named the No.
1 team in the polls. I also believe
Coach of the Year honors should
be re-named ‘Staffs of the Year,’
simply because it’s the football
staffs that gather all of the detail
work and formulate the game
plans. It’s the staffs that do the
leg work recruiting, too.
— Speaking of football, some of
the Rutgers faithful I know
weren’t doing back flips last
week over the hiring of Penn
State offensive coordinator, Dick
Anderson. He’s not the answer in
making RU into a national
power. What really irked my
friends was the fact once the
committee decided on Anderson
and notified him he was the
choice, he asked for 24 hours
before giving them a decision!
The RU folks really didn’t handle
things in a very big-time way
which is typical of their philoso-
phy in recent years. It always
gripes me to see an incoming
coach receive all types of
improvements for the good of the
program, when the outgoing staff
pleaded for the same things but
was refused.
— It’s Super Bowl week and
the hype will be unbearable. It
will all come down to which
offensive line can establish con-
trol in the trenches and which
team can fully execute its offen-
sive scheme. Both teams have
longer to prepare which is a big
factor. I predicted before the
playoffs I felt the Redskins and
Raiders would square off, with
the Raiders prevailing. I feel the
Raiders’ secondary must disrupt
the Redskins’ pass routs, allow-
ing their pass rush to apply
pressure on QB Joe Theisman. If
they can acomplish that, then
Pete will be presenting Amiable
Al with the Lombardi Trophy.
Raiders, 27-24.
= Penn State and Clarion
scored significant victories in
wrestling last week. Penn State,
ranked No. 1 in the East, handed
unbeaten - Wisconsin its first
defeat of the season, 20-16. The
following night Clarion emerged
with a 19-18 triumph over the
Badgers, ranked fourth nation-
ally. The Eastern Wrestling
League ran its season ma: gf
against the Big 10 to 10-3. a:
— I can’t believe the big bucks
the USFL is tossing around. I
said last season and I'll say it
again, I gotta believe the league
is going to make it and I like the
brand of football. Once they
upgrade the caliber of quarter-
backing the rest will take care of
itself. One particular facet I
enjoyed was how most of the
games I watched both teams got
after each other. They didn’t dog
it. I sure hope the Pittsburgh
Maulers can make it in the Steel
City. I like their style so far.
— The Philly Stars are only
several players away from being
a better all around team than the
Eagles. Stars have a pretty solid
organization.
— Weren't the calls in the
winning drive by the Redskins
game a mite on the sorry side? I
couldn’t get over the holding call.
Scribes from Philly and New
York really took the officiating to
task. I only view pro football as
entertainment! It’s a completely
different gamethan it ws origi-
nally designed to be with all of
the rule changes.
— I’m curious as to how much
pressure will be on the refs not to
calls against the Raiders. I doubt
if the NFL would want Al to have
any grounds to cry foul over
Pete’s men in the stripe shirts
cost him winning a Soup Bowl for
the good of the league? It’s
something us cynical folks would
conjure up!
— Joe Hartman, Pocono
Downs’ Publicity Director, tells
me the local track has some big
promotional dates on tap this
season. Negotiations are under-
way to lure former Yankee star
Mickey Mantle here in early
April.
— One of the top grid prospects
in the New England States is a
young man by the name of
Darrin Flutie. Yep, he’s Boston
College QB Doug’s brother.
Darrin is a superb runningback
and is being courted by a bunch
of schools. He’s not locked into
going to BC as many think.
—- Speaking of Doug Flutie,
while. he’ll be considered a top
candidate ; for the Heisman
Trophy this season, he’ll have an
opportunity early to solidify: his
position or fall back into the
pack. The Eagles first three
games are gems. They travel to
Alabama for their opener, return
home for North Carolina, then
trek down to Miami for a head-
knocker with the Hurricanes and
QB Bernie Koser. Tell me that
one won’t be a biggie for the
tube. BC also has to make trips
to West Virginia and Penn State.
That’s five toughies.
— My coaching pal John Brun-
ner wasn’t out of work long after
getting the hook in Green Bay
with head man Bart Starr. John
was hired last week as offensive
moderator by the Tampa Bucs. I
learned from Detroit assistant
Joe Madden that Brunner was
meeting with John McKay. Evi-
dently John made solid impres-
sion. John does have a solid
knowledge of the game.
PSU team
