...QUARTERBACK--Larry Brown told me he deserved it last night and I told him I agreed. Playing his first varsity minute partway into his junior year, Brownie set game, single-season and career passing records, and he missed the career total offense mark by 20 yards. Sorry Mrs. Teevens (mother of Dartmouth's Buddy, who will probably win in the coaches' voting), Larry gets my vote...
...year for allowing the fewest points scored, but the offense packed the scoring punch of a geriatrics ward. Having nowhere to go but up, Bennett installed a "Big Ben" play -for desperate situations when the clock was running out. With 19 seconds to go against New Orleans last week, Quarterback Steve Bartkowski called Big Ben. Three receivers rushed downfield, dogged by a battalion of defensive backs.

Pleasant Valley has another touchdown nullified by a minor penalty, but in the game's closing seconds, a third touchdown pass by the Bears' 140-lb. sophomore quarterback stays on the Scoreboard. The final score: Palmerton 19, Pleasant Valley 7. Yet it is not until Dr. Verbruggen follows the Bears into the locker room and makes a final check on the night's bumps and bruises that he is sure all his conditioning has paid off. There are no injuries that won't pretty well heal over the weekend. "Football is a game that...
...first burst of cheering over Jimmy Carter's save-the-dollar program, some football-fan bankers compared the President to a quarterback who had thrown a spectacular pass from his own 1-yd. line for a touchdown. Last week it became evident that the quick score only got the Carter Comets back into a game that had been turning into a rout. To win, Carter must now call signals effectively for a long, grind-it-out-on-the-ground drive against the awesome defense of the Inflation Bears...
