7--Cumberland Evening Times, Monday, August 12, 1974 Reds, Pirates Open 3-Game Series Tonite THE PERFORMANCE STAGED by Mark Manges in the first annual Maryland High School All-Star Football Game Saturday afternoon at Byrd Stadium in College Park, sparkling as was, wouldn't have been good enough to beat Alabama. Just the same, it brought smiles to the face of Jerry Claiborne, head coach of the University of Maryland, who recruited the A A i a quarterback from Fort Hill High School. After stealing the show in a 21 to 7 victory by the North over the South team, Manges was greeted by the Terp tutor with the follow- ing message: "Mark, you did a real fine job out there today but I don't think it was the kind that could beat Alaba- ma. We have some polishing up to do and not count- ing you out." That was like music to the ears of the Cumberland Mark Manges super star who was selected as the game's outstanding offensive player. Manges is an enthusiastic, hard-working and confident athlete who sets his sights high such as becoming Maryland's starting quarterback as a freshman in the lidlifter with Bear Bryant's A a a a powerhouse on September-14 at College Park in a game that has already been sold out.

Mark made history by being the first freshman ever to break into the starting lineup at quarterback for a Cumberland high school team and nothing would please him more than to duplicate that achievement in college. He certainly didn't hurt his chances i Saturday's glittering production which found him scoring two of the North's touchdowns and setting up the other. Manges reported to the North camp at Western Maryland College two weeks ago with the feeling he had something to prove. Because of the wide acclaim given him during his four tremendous years at Fort Hill, all eyes were on him. As he put it this morning at his home on White Avenue, "It was a new test.

I was one of 40 players in camp and I felt if I didn't have a good game, the fellows on the North team would regard me as overrated every time they saw my liame in the future." There was no doubt in'the mind of Manges, perhaps the greatest all-round schoolboy athlete ever to come out of Cumberland, that the players in Saturday's game rated all-star recognition. "It was a different league, that's for sure," stated the 18-year-old "phenom." Craig Brown from Baltimore's City College, for example, is six-foot-six, 255-pound tackle whose speed and overall ability contributed to the North victory. Brown is headed for Penn State and Manges, who turned down a Nittany Lion offer, among others, told Craig he making a mistake. Brown's retort was, 'Til see you in November." when Maryland and Penn State meet at University Park. BROWN WAS THE right tackle for the North Saturday while Les (Butch) Manges' teammate at Fort Hill who is joining him at Maryland, held down the left-side spot.

"Butch played a good game, too," Mark noted, "but we had trouble with our guards and center. That's where the South defenders came from on our passing situations." Manges was dumped four times.and as a result of the constant pressure by. the.South he completed only five of 15 passes. "I wasn't pleased with my passing," he "but I think the South rush should be given some credit." The five passes completed by Manges netted 77 yards and one of them, a fourth-down heave, kept a 56-yard scoring drive intact, ending with a one-yard plunge by David Emala of Baltimore's Oilman. The six-foot-three, 210-pound Manges (he's gained four pounds since basketball season) put on the same kind of dominating show at College Park that Cumberland fans had been accustomed to seeing for four seasons.

He ran, passed, tackled, called plays, held the ball on extra points and punted. His first touchdown was from 47 yards out on a quarterback draw and his second came on a sneak from the one. On running plays he gained 109 yards but the deduction of the four sacks reduced his net total to 75 yards. If Claiborne wanted to see more. Manges gave it to him on one of the game's outstanding defensive plays.

Andre Gibson of Easton took a handoff from LaPlata's Francis Winters on a Manges punt and broke down the sideline behind four blockers. But he was tackled by Manges, the final North player, on the Yankees' 22-yard line, thus saving a TM The South team, despite the 21 to 7 score, was no pushover. "They hit hard," Manges said, "and their fullback (Joe Ganascioli of Wheaton) was as tough as anyone I've ever played against." It was Ganascioli who tallied the South's lone TD On a one-yard plunge early in the fourth quarter. Manges played practically the entire second half on defense at safety, proving to fans in the Washington area that he can do it all Mmethinf Cumberland has known and apprecia- ted ever since Mark put on a football uniform. Manges and Benson leave Sunday for another visit to College Park.

This time, it will be for a much longer stay. Maryland practice starts Monday. John Bench, Stargell Hot As Clubs In Flag Drives By VITO STELLINO UPI Sports Writer The Reds and the Pirates! have history on their side this season but even more impor- tant," they also have Johnny Bench and Willie Stargell. In even numbered years since the playoff system began --1970 and 1972 --Cincinnati a Pittsburgh won the titles in the National League and faced each other in the playoffs. Now it's 1974 and the twoj clubs both need a late season' stretch drive if they're to makej: it again.

But if Bench and) Stargell keep rolling, they both could do it. I Reds Back i The Reds remained 5V! games behind Los Angeles in the Western Division Sunday with a 10-4 victory over the New York Mets as Bench drove in five runs with two doubles and a homer.

Stargell is now hitting at a .422 clip in his last 18 games and is on a seven-game hitting streak. Bench has knocked in 38 runs in his last 33 games and has four homers in his last five games. The Pirates and Reds open a three-game series tonight in Cincinnati, the lidlifter to be seen on national television Steve Demery (2-4) will pitch for the Pirates and Clay Kirby Cool-Off Period Halts Strike Ef JOE CARMCELLI UPI Sports Writer There cduld be a lot of heartbroken and disillusioned rookies packing their bags this week and heading home from the National Football League training camps. The NFL Players Association, with representatives meeting in Washington, agreed Sunday to a 14-day "cool- ing off" period in which vet- eran players will be allowed to report to camp beginning Wednesday. The move wasj made, the players said, in order to speed up contract negotiations with the NFL Management Council, which represents the owners.
