st wie i qa Nip Tunkhannock By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent “It was chance we had to take,” said Dallas Coach Ted Jackson, refering to his decision to have kicker Gerry Mihalick go for the 47- yard field goal with 3:12 on the clock in the final quarter of the Tunkhannock/Dallas game, Satur- day night. “We were down 14-12 and it was all or nothing. We have confidence in Gerry, he’s a good boy and keeps cool under pressure. He proved us right. That 47-yard kicker under pressure of winning is a great achievement. “It was tremendous,’ Jackson continued. “I was proud of all the kids. Tunkhannock is big and strong and physical but our kids hung in there. It was a great game for Tim Lyons. I believe he played his best game Saturday night, he had a few bad breaks but he moved the ball down the field when he needed to,” said Jackson. With only a little more than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and Dallas Mountaineers trailing 14-12, fans at the Tunkhan- nock stadium had just about given up hope for a Dallas victory. A determined Dallas defense turned back the Tunkhannock offense on numerous occasions and both Tiger scores were made by Steve Dymond. The two point differ- ence were the conversions. Tunk- hannock made both PATSs good, the Mountaineers failed on both tries. It was Dallas who put a score on the board first when John Harris went over from the one-yard line into the end zone. The try for the extra point failed and Dallas went in front, 6-0. The Tigers’ Steve Dymond, line- backer, made an outstanding play soon after in the first period when he intercepted Dallas quarterback Tim Lyons pass and carried it 41 yards for a touchdown. The kick for extra point was good and the Tigers went into the lead, 7-6. Both teams played scoreless ball until the third quarter when Tunk- hannock’s Steve King blocked a Dallas punt. Dymond recovered the punt and took it in from 20 yards out to score a second Tiger touchdown. Tunkhannock’s Hutchins kick was good and the Tigers led 14-6. But the Mountaineers had trav- eled to Tunkhannock tasting victory and they refused to give up. Moun- taineer Dan Williams intercepted Gary Brennan’s pass and carried it to Tunkhannock’s 31 yard line. On the next play, on a keeper Lyons ran around the right side and car- ried in the ball in from the 31 for a score. Again the try for the extra point failed and the score was 14-12 with the Tigers in front. The scrappy. Mountaineers refused to give up and in the fourth quarter, Tim Lyons started from his own 27 yard line and behind his leadership, Dallas took the ball to Tunkhannock’s 29 yard line in four plays. The Tigers defense held for three downs and, with only 3:12 on the clock, Coach Ted Jackson decided to go for the field goal. Gerry Mihalick proved he could kick when he put his 47-yard kick right through the uprights to give Dallas three points and a 15-14 win over a tough Tunkhannock team. The experts have got it back- wards. They contend that you should stop smoking and drinking to be physically fit. Dr. George Shee- han, on the other hand, says the exercising body doesn’t want to smoke, and drinks only modestly. Get your exercise program in place (weight loss, better sleep patterns) will fall in line naturally. Writing in the October issue of Reader’s Digest, the 66-year-old cardiologist notes that improved health is not the only benefit, calling his day’s run a kind of retreat: ‘My mind is free to wander, and on some thoughts. The sights and sounds, the touches and tastes, the pains and pleasures of my entire life becomes available to me--it is like reading a journal I had never kept.” These are Sheehan’s personal guidelines. He says they work well for him and may benefit you as well: -Eat a nutritious breakfast -Don’t eat between meals -Maintain your weight -Don’t smoke -Get a good night’s sleep -Exercise sensibly and regularly. “This is the rule that makes the Leading the band J Dallas Post/Ed Campbell dys it becomes a cascade of others work,’ he adds.

Petie, who garnered five victories and lost two last week, is now tied with Denmon for first place as the two sport identical 23-9 slates. Pho- tographer Ed Campbell holds second place with a 22-10 record while editor Dotty Martin is hot on Ed’s tail with a 21-11 slate. Adver- tising representative Joe Gula comes in at 20-12 while staff writer John Kilduff brings up the rear at 12-20. All prognosticators were given a victory last week for the Pitts- burgh/West Virginia game which ended in a 10-10 tie, no matter what their original choice was. This week, Dallas gets the nod to beat West Side Tech while Lake- Lehman, which goes up against a strong Meyers squad, is the favorite of only Campbell and Petie, who are remaining true blue to the locals. Everyone with the exception of Kilduff who likes Valley Forge favors Wyoming Seminary to be victorious while all six prognostica- tors give the Spartans of Valley West a good chance to defeat Hazle- ton. Kilduff and Petie select Northwest to defeat Bishop O’Reilly while Kild- uff, who used to work at an Air Force base, and Gula side with the Y Air Force boys to defeat Notre Dame. In the only other college game, the odds are with Pittsburgh to defeat South Carolina as Kilduff is the only prognosticator going against the Panthers. By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent Linda King and freshman Sue Wells continued on their scoring streak to lead the Dallas girls’ field hockey team to wins over Bishop O’Reilly and Nanticoke last week. The Dallas girls took a 4-0 lead in the first half then continued to win 5-1 over the Queenswomen Wednes- day, Sept. 25, at Bishop O'Reilly. Earlier in the week, the Lady Moun- taineers shut out the Lady Trojans 5-0, at the Dallas field on Monday, Sept. 23. Sue Wells scored the first goal for the Mountaineers in the game with O’Reilly, with an assist from King 2:02 in the first half. Maureen Wis- nieski scored a second goal for Dallas, unassisted, 5:01 in the first half and 10:03 into the half, Lindsey Krivenko with an assist from King Knights defeat Hanover By JOHN F. KILDUFF The Lake Lehman Black Knights evened their season record to 2-2 Saturday afternoon by downing the Hawkeyes of Hanover, 7-0, in a hard-fought defensive battle. Lehman’s freshman quarterback, Len Annetta helped break a score- less tie early in the third quarter with two pin-point passes to receiv- ers Jeff Ruzicki and Chris Land- messer, giving the Knights control at the Hanover 3-yard line. Annetta’s passes of 43 yards to Ruzicki and 15 yards to Landmesser paved the way for senior fullback Jeff Martin’s 3-yard TD plung two plays later, giving Head Coach Rich Gorgone’s squad a 7-0 lead. The game ended with Lehman the only team to break the plane of the endzone, however, the Black Knight’s victory was a bitter sweet one. Senior halfback Bill George was carried from the field early in the first quarter after sustaining a back injury. George has been the Black Knight’s main ground weapon this season and early indications are that George will not play for the remainder of the year. “It is not a broken back, but there is a break somewhere,’ said Gor- gone, of George’s injury. ¢I think at this point he (George) is probably finished for the year. “I really feel sorry for him (George),”” Gorgone continued. “Bill really loves to play. Not only is he a fine, hard-running back, but he also plays a tough linebacker position and he even snaps the ball on extra-points.” Gorgone said that when George was injured it really put the pres- sure on his young team. “When Bill went down (during Lehman’s second offensive series of the game) it ‘put us in a very chaotic situation,” said Gorgone: “At the beginning of the game, we really felt with Billy (George) run- ning we could put some points on the board. We were really happy to get out of the first half with an even score (0-0). oan Gorgone’s troops went into the lockerroom at the half, essentially having to revamp their running game strategy. Gorgone entered the game with backfield problems with sophomore fullback Daryl Bonsa- vage nursing an injury and reserve halfback (George’s backup) Bill Davis hampered with a broken thumb. Gorgone then turned fo senior fullback Jeff Martin to lead the running attack. Martin carried the ball 16 times for 70 yards including the game’s only TD. In addition to Martin, Gorgone was forced to uti- lize freshman halfback Scott Wasca- (See STICKERS, page 12) gm Tal ing the ball eight times for 24 yards. “We proved we have a lot of good (See KNIGHTS, page 12) i ANDY ROAN UNION BEVERAGE
