At All-Star Game
By JOHN F. KILDUFF
Staft Writer
After six years of dedicated serv-
ice to the Dallas Kiwanis All-Star
softball game and probably as
many years coaxing him fo accept
it, Dallas resident George McCutch-
eon has received the Kiwanis Club’s
award for meritorious service
involving women’s athletics.
“I really appreciate their
(Kiwanis) thoughts in presenting
me with this award,” McCutcheon
said Monday. “They know the game
(the annual East/West High School
All-star classic) and have given the
award to five very geod people,”
McCutcheon continued. “I feel hon-
ored to be mentioned in the same
company of the past recipients.”
McCutcheon , 131 Overbrook
Road, Dallas, was instrumental in
the evolution of the annual East/
West Women’s All-Star game six
years ago and feels today that the
game is an excellent showcase for
top notch women softball players to
prepare for college careers.
“I feel it’s a good chance for area
coaches to look at some good play-
ers,” McCutcheon said. “It gives
some players, the ‘sleepers’ a
chance to get a look,” McCutcheon
said.
McCutcheon continued by saying
that the crowd! attending the game
over the past six years has contin-
ued to grow. This year’s crowd was
estimated at a few hundred.
“I think the high school coaches
really deserve a great deal of
credit,” McCutcheon said in refer-
ence to the All-Star game. ‘They
carry most of the load.”
Next year, McCutcheon said, the
coaches plan to have an athletic
trainer at the contest in order to
assist in the event of injuries. This
year’s contest was marred by inju-
ries to Wyoming Seminary’s Donna
Zavada and Wyoming Valley West’s
Debbie Pearn, who collided while
flagging down « pop fly.
When asked why he had declined
accepting the award from the
Dallas Kiwanis; a number of years
past, McCutcheon aimiably said: “I
felt like the Kiwanis didn’t really
need to give me an award. I’ve had
more than enough in my life to
more than please me.”
