Page 20-SUSQUEHANNA BULLETIN Practicing at Riverview D.H.S. soccer players strengthen sport here Soccer has not been th most popular sport in America, although it is in many European and Ltn American countries, wlieic the games are attended bv thousands of very partisan fans who sometimes get into violent fights over (he outcomes of games, Despite its previous lack of popularity here, there are many signs that it is at ast catching on to the favo, of Americans, and that it ma, become a major American sport. Donegal High School soc- cer players are doing every- thing they can to help soccer become a more popular sport in our arca. This summer they are devoting every morning to teaching the sport to stu- dents in the four elementary schools in the Doncgal District. At Riverview, Tex Landis, and Mike Sager are coach- ing the grade schoolers. At Maytown Steve Eno, Buzz Haake, and Jay Long are the coaches. At Seiler the program is being run by Kris McCue. Jon Sheetz, Jake Sherk, and Game between Seiler and Grandview at Grandview Mark Weidman. At Grandview it is Scott Brightbill, Ray Husband, Henry Klugh, and Randy McCoy who are in charge. Teams from each of the four schools have been playing each other, but the Bulletin received conflicting reports about the standings, and hence will report none. But there is no question about the enthusiasm of the players and their coaches. The hope of the coaches is that the kids who have been introduced to soccer will go out for it in junior high and continue playing in high school. If soccer becomes a more popular sport locally, it won't be by accident. Two girls, Jennie Eno of Maytown School and Marty Miller of Seiler are learning the game of soccer and playing a rugged game. Soccer may be the sport of the future, and it is in tune right now locally with another contemporary trend — Women’s Lib. Coach Bernie Thome of Donegal will be having some good players coming along in a few years — of both sexes. Vandals wreck park; Parker wants names Vandals have been destroying drinking fountains, windows, swings, merry-go-rounds, fireplaces, etc. in Marietta’s War Memorial Park. The cost of making repairs, only to have the repaired property damaged all over again, is getting exorbitant for the Borough government. John L. Parker, Jr., President of the Borough Council most strongly urges any citizen who knows who the vandals are to reveal their identity and thereby put a stop to the destruction. Any citizen with information about the vandals should call 426-3613 or 426-1457.
