Last week Gene Upshaw, Execu-
tive Director of the National Foot-
ball League Players Association,
said the drug problem in the NFL is
being painted as a ‘black issue.’
Upshaw pointed
out that since
1980, 37 of the 43 |.
NFL players who |
have been tied to f
drugs have been
black; further-
more, the seven
players that have
been suspended &
for drug abuse
have all been
black.
To underscore Upshaw’s point,
former Viking great Carl Eller,
himself a one-time drug addict and
now a drug consultant to the NFL,
said that he knows of cases where
teams protected white drug users
while making public similar cases
about black players.
Although an argument for the
discrepancy in numbers can be
based upon the fact that there are
more blacks in the NFL than
whites, the numbers seem way out
of line with the reality of the situa-
tion.
It is only too believable that white
owners and coaches would protect
white drug users from the wrath of
public outrage, a public that is
predominantly white and one that
fills their stadiums every Sunday —
while at the same time, use black
public wanted as proof that drug
users are not getting off scott-free.
But the drug problem in sports is
a color problem. It’s just that the
colors aren’t black and white.
The colors of the flag of drug
abuse are: white, green and gray.
White because that is the color of
cocaine; green because cocaine is
expensive and the only way these
guys can afford it is to make the
huge amounts they do; and gray
because after the green is paid and
the white is cut, the trip is a short
one to the brain.
The NFL clubs must be consistent
with how they handle drug users in
their ranks. Since the drug problem
is not black or white, coaches and
asking to be turned two colors
themselves-black and blue, very
blue.

Dallas Post/Ed Campbell
against Meyers High School.
By RICK ROGERS
Staff Correspondent
The Dallas baseball team is on a
roll. Unfortunately, it’s the wrong
way — downhill — and at the worst
time — the end of the season when
teams are gearing up for the play-
offs.
The Mountaineers lost to Lake-
Lehman on Tuesday, 7-5, and the
week got worse as they lost two
more games.
On Thursday in a game against
Meyers, Dallas rallied for four runs
in the last inning, but it wasn’t
enough to overcome the 8-1 advan-
tage Meyers held by the fourth.
Dallas lost 9-7.
On Friday, Dallas, with its star
pitcher Mark Konopki on the
mound, lost a 5-3 game to Bishop
Hoban, who had just won four
games all year.
The only bright spot for Dallas in
that game was Tim Moyer’s two-run
homer in the fourth which momen-
tarily tied the game at 2-all.
Hoban scored three times in the
fifth for all the runs it needed.

After losing to Dallas in the sev-
enth inning last Monday, the Lady
Knights of Lake-Lehman went on to
win three games to run their record
to 3-2, defeating Coughlin 11-5,
Thursday; Hanover 10-6, Wednes-
day; and took Nanticoke 5-3, Tues-
day afternoon.
In Thursday’s game with the
Coughlin Crusaders, the Lady
Knights uses errors by the Crusad-
ers to their advantage in the third
inning, scoring six runs to increase
their lead to 9-1.
In the first inning the Knights
scored two runs on two walks and a
single by pitcher Beth Finn which
drove home Kelly Wandel and Cindy
Slocum. They scored a third run in
the second inning.
In the six-run third inning, Finn,
Debbie Levi, Lori Cannon and Noel
Kuznicki scored. Kuznicki advanced
to third on singles by Lori Pantle
and Susie Slocum and scored on a
balk by the Crusaders pitcher.
Pantle and Slocum came home for
the fifth and sixth runs of the
inning.
Coughlin scored one run in the
third and one in the fourth, then
made a strong effort in the seventh
pushing across three runs before
they were put out.
The Knights came on strong in the
sixth inning when they scored two
runs on singels by Levi and Susie
Slocum.
Finn went all the way for the
Knights striking out seven and
walking five. Laura Vissotski was
the losing hurler for the Crusaders,
striking out one, walking 11 and
giving up 11 hits.
Cindy Slocum’s three-run homer
in the sixth inning helped the
Knights take a 10-6 from the Hano-
ver girls.
The Knights pushed across four
runs in the first inning and scored
three in the fifth and three in the
sixth to move their lead to 10.
The Hawkeyes scored two runs in
the fifth inning on a two-run homer
by Leigh Lahr, scored one run in
the sixth and added three more in
the seventh led by Leigh Lahr, who
went 4-for-5 at the plate.
Cindy Slocum had two for three
for the day and Lori Pantle drove
out a long triple for the Knights.
Finn pitched five innings, fanning
eight and walking seven and earned
the win. Pam Coolbaugh pitched the
final two innings striking out one
and walking two.
The Knights were leading 3-0
going into the bottom of the sixth
when Nanticoke scored three runs.

then Finn walked two batters and
Denise Bertrand drove in a run with
a single. Lori lewis singled to drive
in a second run and Bertrand scored
the third run when Maria Lutz’ bunt
single was thrown over first base,

back the lead in the top of the
seventh picking up two unearned
runs. In the bottom of the seventh,
Finn walked the first two Trojans
and Coach Finn pulled her from the
game replacing her with Pam Cool-
baugh. Coolbaugh walked two bat-
ters with one out to load the bases.
Finn came back in the game and
struck out Karen Belles, then got
Denise Bertrand on a weak ground
ball to first base to end the game
with the Knights winning 5-3.
On Monday Knight hurler Beth
Finn had a two-hit shut out going
into the seventh inning with a 3-0
score behind her when the Dallas
Mountaineers exploded, took advan-
tage of walks, two hits and scored
eight runs to win the game 8-3 and
continue undefeated while the
Knights dropped to 11-2.
Finn turned in an outstanding
performance before she lost control
in the seventh inning. After the
sixth run crossed the plate, Coach
Finn pulled Beth and sent in Lori
Cannon to the mound.
Cannon had control problems and
walked Lisa Gabel and Chris
Legenz to move the score to 7-3.
Beth Finn returned to the game and
pitched to Heidi Scholz, who singled
to drive in Tracy Cave. Tracy
Hunter hit into a fielder’s choice to
end the inning.
In the bottom of the seventh,
Tracy Cave put out Pam Coolbaugh
at first with Coolbaugh’s grounder
to the pitcher’s mound. Noel Kuz-
nicki hit a fly to left field and Beth
Finn grounded out to shortstop to
