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

dys it becomes a cascade of others work,’ he adds.

Denmon is giving GoalPOST Petie a
run for his money in The Dallas
Post prognosticators’ race this week
after picking up six victories to just
one loss last week.
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.

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-
