I've been predicting all along that
former Coughlin standout Ron Solt
would be one of the highest offen-
sive lineman selected in the NFL
draft. I’ve been a big fan pf Row S
since he went to a
Maryland. Terp
assistant Gib
Romaine was the
man who got Solt
to sign with the
What - puzzled
me was the lack }
of
recognition Ron recer
year.
Pitt wanted Ron’s services in the
worst way.
Jack Sherrill was here several
times. The Panther staff had Solt as
one of their top-preppies.
Even after Ron announced he was
going to Maryland, Sherrill’s opin-
ion of the stellar offensive guard
didn’t change.
“During a visit here that spring,”
Jackie told me, ‘“Solt is the best
offensive guard in the East. He’s a
crackerjack blocker and pulls better
than any linemen I saw on film.”
Despite the high accolates from
Sherrill, Solt was not named to
many of the glamour All-American
teams. I selected him to my Eleven
Elite for Eastern Football Maga-
zine.
However, that fall when I went to
the Pitt-Maryland game, Jackie and
I were visiting the night before the
game. He brought up Solt’s name
again and how badly he wanted
him.
“You keep a watch on him,” said
Jackie, ‘“He’ll be an All-American
at Maryland before his playing days
are through. He has all of the
physical tools.”
As a junior Ron’s performance
level was. so consistent. Gib told me
he always came to play and never
really had a bad game.
Prior to last season, I notified
several pals that Solt was a legit
All-American. They sort of passed it
off.
When I filled out my ballot for the
Football Writers All-American
team, three offensive linemen that I
believed * deserved being selected
were Pitt’s Bill Fralic, center Jim
Sweeney and Solt.
CLIPBOARD NOTES:
— Remember when the 1980 Big
33 game was played in Wilkes-Barre
at Memorial Stadium?
— Checking the draft, I found
seven players that participated in
that contest selected by NFL teams.
Solt was the only number one.
Others taken were: Bruce Kozerski
(Coughlin) Holy Cross; Glenn
Streno, Tennessee; Tom Flynn,
Pitt; John Frank, Ohio State; Scott
Campbell, Purdue; and Curt Singer,
Tennessee.
— My all 1983 All-East team for
Athlon’s Eastern Football Magazine
had 13 players selected in the frist
draft. Two first rounders were Penn
State’s' Ken Jackson’ three time
choice at wide receiver, and Pitt
defensive tackle Bill Maas.
— Offensively, five of a possible
seven were selected. Along with
Jackson were second rounder Jim
Sweeney, Pitt’s superb center; Penn
State’s Ron Heller and Jon Wil-
liams. Also, Pitt wide receiver
Dwight Collins.
— Four other offensive players
are underclassmen.
— Defensively, 8 of 11 went. One
that wasn’t selécted was Navy’s
brilliant LB Andy Ponseigo only
because of his five-year military
obligation.
— The Kansas City Chiefs must
have liked our defensive team as
they took five players! Besides No.
1 Maas, Chiefs tabbed LB Scott
Radecic, Penn State; DB Mark Rob-
inson, Penn State; DB Kevin Ross,
Temple, and LB Al Wenglikowski,
Pitt.
— LB Jim Dumont of Rutgers
wastaken by the Browns, while
and Boston College LB Steve
DeOssie is with the Cowboys:
— Flynn, like Jackson, was a
three-time selection at safety.
— Each year when I'm evaluating
players for my All-East selections I
always get somE questions concern-
ing a player or two. For the 1982
team it was Rutgers’ Bill Pickel,
who played a key role as a rookie
for the Super Bowl champ Raiders.
In 1983 it was Temple defensive
back Ross. Some didn’t believe he
was that outstanding the previous
year, but there was a reason.
Teams weren't going his way and
when they did, he leveled people.
— I’m not concerned if a player
has pro potential. I first look at his
collegiate skills and his perform-
ance. How consistently did he play
in the big games against the quality
opponents. To me that’s what
counts.

Frank Galicki, assistant principal
of Dallas Senior High School,

Noone and Greg Manusky were the

Since January, over 1,000 junior
and senior high school students in
eastern and western Pennsylvania
have successfully completed the
Awareness Program in Boating and
Water Safety course sponsored by
the Pennsylvania Fish Commission.
The course, which is taught by
Fish Commission trained volun-
teers, gives students the opportunity
to become familiar with various
types of recreational boating equip-
ment and even provides for hands-
on ‘experience with some of the
equipment.
“All of the teachers in our depart-
ment enjoyed instructing the pro-
gram and the students gave us a
great deal of positive feedback,”
reports Terry Funk, acquatic direc-
torr ofd the Titusville Area School
District. Funk and a support staff

from January through March of this
year.
Art Wilson, aquatic director for
the Abington Heights School Dis-
trict, certified 275 junior high school
students during the same period. At
Abington, the course has become a
part of the junior high acquatics
program.
According to Janet Mayer, boat-
ing education specialist and coordi-
nator for the program, ‘while the
course was originally developed for
the Pennsylvania school system, it
is also idea for groups such as
scouts, boat clubs, sportsmen’s
organizations and youth groups.”

gram is available by contacting

In Western Luzerne County, there
has been an increase in game law
violations such as illegal shooting of
game, dogs chasing game, improper
hunting licenses, littering, illegal
spotlighting of deer, road hunting
and other violations of the game
laws.
Many of these infractions have
been reported to the Pennsylvania
Game Commission at a later date
because those who witness a viola-
tion do not know where to call at the
time of the act.
Edward R. Gdosky, District
Game Protector, has listed the fol-
lowing names and numbers so that
people who witness a violation of a
state game law will know where to
report such an act.
