Bishop Hoban defender.
Phil Brown (55)
football victory since 1982.
To Hoban, 6-2
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Correspondent
The Dallas Mountaineers defense
played a much improved game Sat-
urday night at Plains stadium in
spite of losing 6-2 to Bishop Hoban,
The Mountaineers held the Argent
offense throughout the first half
until, with 4:29 remaining on the
clock, the failure of the Mountai-
neers to fill their right positions
allowed the Argents Pat Merkel to
go 63 yards for a touchdown.
On the play, the Argents received
the third Dallas punt of the first half
on their own 37-yard line. On the
next play, Merkel veered to the left,
went back inside through & hole
made by his blocker and ran 63
yards with no one able to catch him.
The kick for the extra point failed
and at the end of the half the
Argents led, 6-0.
Neither team showed good offense
with the Mountaineers collecting
only 44 yards total in the first half
and the Argents, excluding Merkel’s
touchdown run, picking up only 38.
In the second half, the Mountai-
neers controlled the ball most of the
time but they were unable to break
the Argents defense to get deep into
their territory.
The Argents offense did even
worse against the Mounttineers,
picking up only three first downs for
the entire game, none in the second
half, and gaining only 43 yards for
the second half. It was the big play
on the punt return that gave them
the winning touchdown.
The Mountaineers offense was not
much better. In the second half they
had excellent field position, starting
inside Hoban’s terriroty at least five
times on punt returns. The closest
they came to scoring was in the
fourth quarter when Charlie Arnone
went through from the 29-yard line
and headed for the endzone.
Hoban’s Mark Gillen ' stopped
Arnone from scoring when he tac-
kled him from behind on the
Argents 12 yard line.
The Mountaineers picked up their
Mark Ciacci took a snap from
center and stepped into the endzone
for two.
When the Mountaineers took pos-
session, quarterback Mark Konopki
began to move his team downfield,
but Steve Teller intercepted his pass
attempt to D. Jubis to dash the
Mountaineers hopes for a touch-
down and a win.
The Argents Coach Sal Montagna
gave credit to his defense for the
win, saying that he had eight start-
ers from last year's squad. Mon-
tagna hos been building his strength

Knights quarterback T. Willy Cad-
walader, playing with an injured
ankle, connected for 16 of 34 passes,
totalling 230 yards in Saturday's
game with Meyers, but it was the
Mohawks’ running game that gave
the Wilkes-Barre boys a 36-0 win
walader’s pass was intercepted by
Lott, who played an outstanding
game for Meyers. Penalties against
the Knights helped move the ball
down the field for the Mohawks
until they were inside the Knights
30-yard line. When the Knights
defense held, the Mohawks tried for
a field goal but it failed. Another
bad snap caused Boich to run and
Lake-Lehman took over.

Meyers quarterback Gene Maffei
hit nine for 14 in the air for 188
yards, but on the ground, the
Mohawks piled up 200 yards to the
Knights’ 58. Both teams had" an
equal number of first downs, 16, but
it was Meyers who came up with
the big plays when needed. "The
Mohawks defense came through for
them when the Knights started to

Following Dallas’ loss to Bishop
Hoban last week, cameraman Ed
Campbell is the only Dallas Post
prognosticator who is remaining
true-blue to the Back Mountain boys
this week. Campbell picks the
Mountaineers to edge by Pittston
Area, 10-7, while the remaining five
Post pickers are siding with the
Patriots.
Sportswriter Charlot Denmon, on
the other hand, is the only Post
prognosticator going against the
Black Knights of Lake-Lehman this
week as she feels the locals will go
down to defeat at the hands of
Tunkhannock. The rest of the pick-
ers are sticking with Lehman, even
if only by a few points.
The decision on the Valley West/
GAR game is unanimous with
everybody predicting a Spartan win
while sports columnist Lee Richards
Wow -
don't delay.
is the only one to pick Blue Ridge to
defeat Bishop O'Reilly.
Wallenpaupack is the winner over
West Side Tech with the exception
of GoalPOST Petie who likes Tech,
13-6. Notre Dame is a unanimous
winner over Michigan State.
The prognosticators, however, are
split on the other two college games
with Iowa getting the nod over Penn
State from Bill Savage, Richards
and Petie. while Savage and
Denmon are the only ones to go with
Pitt over Oklahoma.
The Post prognosticators took a
beating last week with Savage and
GoalPOST Petie doing the best with
four wins apiece. Editor Dotty
two wins each while Denmon added
three victories to her record. Cur-
rently tied for first splace are
Savage, Richards and GoalPOST
Petie with records of 8-5.
The Post prognosticators will see
a new face next week as our West
Side correspondent Joe Gula takes
over for Bill Savage. Savage, who is
leaving The Dallas Post to join the
sports staff at The wilkes-Barre
Times Leader, will leave Gula with
his impressive 8-5 slate.

move the ball.
Daryl Boich made the first big
play for Meyers in the first quarter
when he recovered a Lake-Lehman
fumble on the Mohawks 43-yard
line. The Mohawks, using four plays
to drive down to Lake-Lehman’s 28-
yard line from where Maffei, hit
split end Mike Schwab with a touch-
down pass. On the Mohawks first
bad snap for a point after touch-
down, Boich tried to run the ball in,
but failed.
The Knights started to move the
ball against the Mohawks, but Cad-
Meyers defense held and Lake-
Lehman punted the ball. The
Knights held the Mohawks and they
punts, Meyers took the ball on its
own 32-yard line. Rushing by Tony
Caffrey and a key reception by
Schwab took the ball to the Knights
5-yard line. On an option pass,
halfback Caffrey ran to his right but
stopped and threw to end Tim
Walsh who went in for a second
Meyers touchdown. The try for two
points failed after a penalty for
holding put the Mohawks on the 23-
yard line.
Knight Cadwalader took over and
led his team to the Mohawks 6-yard
line with only two minutes on the
clock, but time ran out before they
were able to score.
The second half opened with Lott
running 80 yards for a touchdown on
the kickoff, only to have it called
back due to a penalty. Minutes
later, Maffei hit Tom Skaff with a
25-yard touchdown pass. Again, the
try for extra points failed and the
Mohawks went in front, 18-0.
The fourth Meyers touchdown
came when Knight Chris Van
Gorder tried to punt on the run after
a bad snap. Meyers Tom Skaff
caught the ball and ran 45 yards
down the sidelines for a touchdown.
The try or extra point failed and
Meyers took a 24-0 lead.
(NEXT GAME: Lake-Lehman
travels to Tunkhannock Friday for a
7:30 p.m. kickoff.)

around the defense while working
on his offense.
Dallas Coach Ron Rybak said he
could see a definite improvement in
his defense over last week's game
with Hanover, but that the offense
still needs a lot of work.
“We have a young and inexperi-
enced team,” said Rybak. “And it’s
going to take time to get them to
think - fast out on the field. Our
quarterbacks are inexperienced.
When they practice they have no
pressure on them and do very well
but when they get in the game, it’s
another story.’
Rybak said Bishop Hoban played
well, but he pointed out that Charlie
Arnone and Mark Chester played
great games for Dallas and Rich
Long was fantastic.
‘We have 53 kids on the roster,’
said Rybak. “And they're all a
. great bunch. They're giving me a
110 percent, but they need time to
gain experience and they need that
one big play or break to give them
confidence. This week we play Pitts-
ton. They are always a good team
So we have our work cut out for us
this week. Our defense can’t do it
alone, we have to work on the
offense.”
(NEXT GAME: Dallas will be at
Pittston Area Saturday evening at
7:30 p.m.)
