Sports Scope

by Jacob Schaid Jr.

NITTANY LIONS' fans usually have something to cheer about, but this year there are a couple of special reasons in Cape May County. One of them is 6-5 tight end Mike McCloskey a graduate of Father Judge High School in Philadelphia. His Cape May connection is that he has worked here as a Wildwood beach policeman and a doorman at Grande’s Cafe. Following his activities closely this year is his ex-coach Bill Edger, a summer bartender and North Wildwood lifeguard. McCloskey had a super game against Nebraska, cat-ching-a sideline pass on the two yard line to set up the winning touchdown in Penn State’s thrilling 27-24 win. the senior snared five passes in that game. Another excited Penn State fan this year is Faith Phillips, classified ad manager for the Herald and Lantern. Her brother-in-law, Bob Phijlips, is quarterback coach for the Nittany Lions and' she attended the Nebraska game. ‘ V "It was one of the best footbafT^games I have ever seen,"said Mrs. Phillips who is also a rabid Pittsburgh Steelers fans. Like many other pro football aficionados, she is suffering from withdrawal symptoms while the strike is on. . - PHILADELPHIA'S HIGH school teams continue to have an impact upon Cape May county football. Ranked first in that city is Penn Charter which invades CapeMay County next Saturday for a 3 p.m. game4 at Middle Township. It should be quite a test for the Panthers in a Philadelphia versus Ner Jersey confrontation. Interestingly, Father 'Judge, upset by St. John Neumann Labor Day weekend in the first Beach Bowl ctatest at Wildwood, is ranked fourth in Philadelphia and Neumann has slipped to eighth. Neumann’s offense, which looked so strong in its first season game, has stalled. Father judge has developed a strong defense, giving up but six points in the last four games. n • • • THE BOWLING season has gotten off to a great start at the Wildwood Bowl, Oak and New Jersey Avenues. This week alone there were 67 reported 200 or better games. Highest score was rolled by Fred Armstrong with a 247. John Davis of Cape May Court House had the series high with a 607. Among the women Dee Brown rolled a 245 in the Wednesday Night League of Nations and mary Lathers had her first 600 series of the year with a 603 in the Sunday Night Mixed League. George Young of Wildwood, meanwhile, provides an interesting bowling story. Although he suffered a severe foot injury and will be unable to resume bowling this year. Young is making his contribution to the sport by devoting a great deal of his time organizing and coaching Wildwood Bowl’s junior league program. He spends many hours giving tips to the children and helping them improve their bowling. • • • SOME PHILLY fans are still trying to figure out why their favorite team collapsed in September. The answer is easy: virtually no bench. Manager Pat Corrales had to stay with his starting eight throughout most of the season because he had nobody to spell Pete'Rose, Mike Schmidt and the rest of the team for a few games here and there. Granted, it is not easy to replace players of those qualities, but a competent journeyman can usually chip in with a key base hit or a fielding gem while the superstar rests on the bench. Compare the Phillies’ team with the Cardinals, for instance. When shortstop Ozzie Smith was injured during the stretch drive, Mike Ramsey, who can play second, third and short, filled in for the Wizard of Oz and it didn't hurt the St. Louis team at all. The Cardinals had on their bench such outstanding hitters as Dane lorg and rookie David Green, both outfielders. Some may blame the Philadelphia pifching for the September Swoon, but the strain was placed on the hurlers because the hitters weren’t hitting, because they w6re tired from a long season in whiclvthey had little rest because there were no adequate temporaryy replacements.
