County sports crop of prospects t4rv 1 Jj.S efics By RUDY MARTZKE Sportswriter "I've got to concentrate on pulling everyone together. That's my biggest task," said basketball coach Mauro Panaggio yesterday following his appointment as interim athletic director at the State University College at Brockport. Panaggio's appointment, effective until June 18, 1976, when a permanent athletic director will be named, was made by Dr.

Albert W. Brown, college president. "Mauro's a very experienced person in athletic management," Brown said of Panaggio, who formerly served as Brockport 's assistant athletic director a few years ago. "I wouldn't have made the appointment if I didn't think Mauro was capable of handling both the athletic director and basketball coaching duties at the same time," Brown said. "One of the reasons I felt so was because Mauro had the strong support of the search committee of the BAC (Board of Athletic Control), the Faculty Senate and the student government.

Those are all bodies with which he will have to work." The search committee of the BAC had voted todays ago to recommend Panaggio by a large margin over. two other candidates, assistant director of admissions Jim Cook and associate director of athletics Sandy Vanderstoep. Panaggio succeeds football coach Dave Hutter, who resigned from the athletic director's position Nov. 10. Yesterday, following discussion with the 35-member administrative council of the college.

Brown approved the BAC's philosophy of athletics, pending clarifi-cation of three points in the philo.sophy. The revised athletic policy includes a student government charge of .50 admission to students holding activities cards, for varsity hockey and basketball events in the winter season. Previously, students had been admitted free to all college events, if they held an activities card. Students pay $65 for a card upon admission to the college. The admission increase is expected to mean an increase of about $25,000 to the general sports fund, Panaggio said.

Panaggio will not receive an increased salary for his athletic director duties, which begin immediately. "The athletic director's job never has been a full-time position," Brown explained. "In the past we have lessened the class load of the athletic director but Mauro will retain his class load for the remainder of the first semester." "I'm down to one class a day for this second eight-week period, anyway," Panaggio said. "I'll have enough time to do the job But my work load has never concerned me. There's a job to be done, and if it takes me 10 or 12 hours a day to do it, I'll do it.

I don't work by the clock. "I'm going to try to solve the problems which have caused some controversy in the past," Panaggio said. "It's a matter of pulling everyone together now I look at my job as to implement policy as handed down from the president through the recommendations of the BAC. "We have a large coaching staff (24 men's and women's athletic teams) with many diverse opinions present. Everyone should work together for a common goal," he said.

"I want an athletic program for men and women that will be among the best small colleges in the area Panaggio, who will report to Dr. Pat Smith, vice president for student affairs, said his duties will consist of the day -today management of the athletic department, scheduling, fund raising and arrangement of team transportation and lodging. Vanderstoep will be retained as associate director and will continue to make personnel recommendations to the Dean of Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation, Dr Warren Fraleigh, in regard to coaches who are members of the faculty. Panaggio, Vanderstoep and Fraleigh have been at the center of past controversy over athletics at Brockport. Panaggio led those who desired strong, high visibility athletic teams while Fraleigh and Vanderstoep favored wider athletic participation for students.

"I would say Sandy and I can work together if we both desire to do so," Panaggio said, "and I think it's imperative that we do."

"It's going to be a different type Slade By TOM FITZGERALD Sportswriter There are the usual cautions about how the newcomer needs to work on his defense and "adjust to our style." But few people are happier around Thanksgiving time than a high school basketball coach who has a bright new prospect or two to spring on the unsuspecting opposition. Several such prospects, mostly junior varsity players last year, make their varsity debuts tonight as the Monroe County League opens its season.

The most interesting opening matchup pits Section 5, Class AAA defending champion Fairport against Brighton, the favorite in the East Division, as the County begins play with a nine-day head start on the City-Catholic League. The County season had been moved up a week in anticipation of a game between the Section 5 and Section 6 (Buffalo) champions That possibility was vetoed by local superintendents, but the schedule had already been booked. So the County newcomers had much less ti me than normal to adjust to varsity life. Webster Thomas coach Bill O'Rourke has no complaints about his rookies. They include Chris Frank, a 6-foot-3 junior and Jim Kunzer, a 6-0 sophomore, the top scorers on last year's 15-3 junior varsity.

Kunzer is expected to be the outside shooter who will assume some of the offensive role of departed All-Greater Rochester Tony Tortatice and guard Dan Fauth. Another highly regarded sharpshooter isChurchville-Chili's Bob Lowden. He's only 5-10 and 145 pounds but a dominating point guard and an exceptional driver. "I thought Lowden and Frank were the best two JV players in the (Western) division last year," said Saints' coach Jack Milner. Lowden's backcourt mate, also up from the JV team, is Jamie Lloyd, who comes close to dunking the ball though he is only 5-8.

Both Brighton and Fairport will unveil (y v. Jim Blackburn out there," says Raider coach Jeff Fitch. "Hedominated the JV's with hissize. We hope he can take some of the pressure off Bruce Turner."
