But after shooting even par 36 on the front nine, Corbett fell to 41 on the back, including a double bogey on the final hole, and missed advancing to a sectional tourna- ment by a stroke. Only four of the field of 52 golfers earned the chance to play in sectionals in two weeks, where a top score will mean a trip to the Open, which will be held June 17- 20 at Pinehurst, North Carolina. Chris Barletta of Hazleton was medalist at the local tournament, shooting 74 despite play being interrupted several times because of rain and thunderstorms. He was followed by Graham Dendler of York with a 75, and Michael Deuel of Appalachin, New York and Dom DidJulia of Bensalem, who both shot 76.

If all goes right, the Mountain- eers will have an opportunity to show their talent in an ex- panded arena this fall. The team has applied to participate in a game sponsored by Kaylee Scholarship Associa- tion to be held at Walt Disney World's Wide World of Sports Arena in Orlando, Florida in late November. Teams from all over the country may apply. When finalized, a computer will sort through all the teams that have signed up to play and match them up with a comparable opponent in such categories as win-loss record over the past five years, number of returning starters, and school size. At the conclusion of each game, Kaylee issues a scholar- ship to the one player on each team that exhibits excellence in ability and sportsmanship. Head coach Ted Jackson's team has looked into this possibility before, but never as seriously as this year. “When I first told the kids about it, they were really excited about it and so we're working our best to try to make this a go,” Jackson said. “Their response was very positive.” For years the Mountaineers have been treating Back Moun- tain and Wyoming Valley residents to some exciting football. Now it is the community’s turn to help out the team. Donations are needed to help fund this trip which is estimated to cost $35,000. The annual football team car wash is going to be held at Schmid's Amoco in Shavertown Sunday, June 6 from 10 to 4. Tickets can be purchased for $3 each from anyone involved in the program. However, the car wash alone will not provide enough money to pay for the entire trip. Alumni, local businesses, and friends of the program are being asked to contribute whatever they can to help aid this unique opportunity for the players and coaches. Monetary donations may be mailed to the following address: Dallas Gridiron Club, P.O. Box 31, Dallas, PA 18612 Coach Jackson asks that all donations be received by June 15 in order to make the first payment. In the meantime, players will visit various neigh- borhoods in the Back Mountain asking for support. ; SPORTS ROUNDUP Softball playoff game postponed to Tuesday The playoff game between the Lake-Lehman and Crestwood soft- ball teams, originally scheduled for Monday, was postponed until Tuesday afternoon because of wet field conditions.
