With 6:32 on the clock, Van Gorder went Trojans defeat ounts By CHARLOT M. DENMON . Staff Correspondent : Trojan football coach Bill Good- man apparently forgot his remarks early last week that he wasn’t planning to play his varsity men against the Dallas Mountaineers Friday night. According to a pub- lished report, Goodman stated that of course his team wanted to win, but they had to look ahead to this week’s game with Wyoming, so he was more concerned about prevent- ing injury to his first string players. : An alleged report has it that a 3-2 . vote by the coaches gave Goodman the go-ahead to keep in his varsity so Quarterback Gary Phillips could break a 5,000 career record. That report had all indications of having foundation as Phillips took to the air bor the first three quarters, complet- g eight passes for 253 yards just . shy 46 yards of breaking the 5,000 ards figure, while leading the Tro- ans to a 47-0 win over the Dallas Mountaineers. * “Qur kids played a good game on the ground,” said Dallas Coach Ron Rybak, “They ran 44 plays and had 225 yards rushing but they were no match for those guys in the air. We're using a lot of young kids and they’re just starting to develop out on the field.” Phillips went to the air early in the game at Nanticoke Friday night and, with 10:30 on the clock in the first quarter, he connected with Ken Schinski for a 58-yard touchdown. Paul Mierzwa kicked the extra point and the Trojans were in front 7-0. On their next possession, the Tro- jans scored again when, on the first play, Ralph Ferraro took a handoff from Phillips and ran 53 yards into the endzone. Mierzwa kicked the extra point and the score went to 14- 0. In the second quarter, Phillips went back to the air and, with 10:31 .xemaining in the second quarter, hit hinski with a 14-yard scoring pass. Mierzwa made the kick good to give the Trojans a 21-0 lead. On the next kickoff by the Tro- jans, Mountaineer Jeff Spudis took the ball on the 15-yard line and thrilled the Dallas fans with an 85- yard touchdown run. The try for a two-point pass failed and the score moved to 21-6 with 10:17 left in the second quarter. With 8:11 on the clock, Phillips threw a 56-yard pass to Steve Dista- sio for a score but the kick was blocked by Mountaineer Mike Jano- sik to give the Trojans a 27-6 lead. On their possession, Dallas fum- bled and the Trojans recovered on their own 47-yard line. Phillips con- tinued in the air hitting Schinski 634-2798 over from the 1-yard line to give the Knights a 6-0 lead. The Knights drove 61 yards with Van Gorder and George doing the work on the ground and T. Willy Cadwalader hitting Earl Weidner with a 30-yard pass before Van Gorder went into the end zone. Weidner’s kick for the extra point failed. In the second quarter, the Knights drove downfield a second time with George running the ball into the endzone from the 5-yard line. The ball was called back and the touch- down was nullified because of a holding penalty. The Knights lost their opportunity when, on third and four, Cadwalader’s pass was inter- cepted by Pittston Area’s Dave Ley- shon. With 11:10 on the clock, the Patriots tied up the game when Ken Scalpi climaxed an 80-yard drive by going over from the 2-yard line. Using his option play, Lazevnick carried the ball for 48 yards and used two completions for 20 yards to bring the ball down field. The Knights didn’t give up and, on Bright spot Friday evening when they the next kickoff, Knight Jeff Martin took the ball back to the Pittston Area 43-yard line. Using 10 plays, the Knights drove down to the Patriots 1-yard line and George took the ball in for a touchdown. The try for extra point failed but the Knights moved ahead, 12-6. On the next possession, the Patriots came right back and drove downfield to the 1-yard line from where Lazevnick went in for a touchdown. Again the try for the conversion failed and the score was at 12-12. On their next possession, the Patriots repeated the same pat- tern and this time Lazevnick took the ball in from the 6-yard line to give Pittston an 18-12 lead at half- time. In the opening minutes of the third quarter with 10:42 on the clock, Lazevnick moved the Patriots in front 24-12 on a 77-yard hit to Walker. The attempt for a 2-point conversion failed.

The Dallas Post prognosticators seem to think so and are giving the Mountaineers a fightin’ chance as all six prognos- ticators pick Dallas over Northwest this weekend. The Knights of Lake-Lehman, however, don’t get a unanimous bid from the Post team as the prognos- ticators are split on their decision for the Lehman-Crestwood game.

DUNC AN SEN LEWIS-DUNCANTREERELEWIS-DUNCAM Ed Campbell and sportswriter Char- lot Denmon think the Comets of Crestwood are going to pull off another victory. The prognosticators are unani- mous in their decision that Hones- dale will defeat Bishop O’Reilly and Seminary will earn a victory over Williamson while Gula is the only one giving West Side Tech a chance over Bishop O’Hara. As for the college games, a vic- tory for Notre Dame over Navy is a unanimous decision, but the prog- nosticators are split on the Penn State/Boston College and Pitts- burgh/Syracuse games. After West Virginia defeated the Nittany Lions for the first time in 28 years last Saturday, Campbell is the only one sticking with the Lions while every- one else is siding with Doug Flutie and Boston College. Campbell and Petie think Pitt can defeat Syracuse but the other four prognosticators are going with the Orangemen. There is a slight change in the standings this week as Martin con- tinues to hold her own with a tie for the first place slot, but now shares her position with GoalPOST Petie who lost only two games last week. Richards, who shared the top spot with Martin for several weeks, dropped into a second-place tie with Denmon as he dropped four games this week. Denmon had a fantastic week last week, losing only the LSU/Notre Dame game when the Fighting Irish upset Louisiana State. Ed Campbell picked up six wins to sup his slate to 45-25 while Joe Gula picked up five wins for a 42-28 record. 17 be H ’ emt Sy WILSON #81604 $16" SPECIAL RACK OF LADIES’ & MEN’ SKI JACKETS % 99s $26°° 50% OFF Cm em NVINNG-SIMIT IEEE NYONNG-SIMI1 98 NVONNG SIMI umm NVONNQG-SIMI TERE NVYONNG SIMI TEENY ONNG- SIMI Y
