"I look forward to this change as a wonderful opportunity. It is a chance to work with Tom Cahill and to be engaged at a high level of competition," Lyon said. The newly-minted West Pointer added, "I leave here with a lot of reservations.

Our roots have iH'fome very deep here and my family enjoys Ithaca." Lyon said, "The decision came down to whether or not I want ed to be in football full-time and compete with the lKst or be less and less involved in football and more involved in administrative duties. The job here (at Ithaca) is dual with part of my time spent at football and part at the alumni office. Hoth jobs are demanding more and more time." At West Point "It will be all football," the popular coach said. Lyon will report to the Point two weeks before the cadets begin spring training. As defensive coordinator he will be responsible for development of the defensive strategy, planning and By ROGER LANGI.KY Journal Staff Writer Ithaca Collrpe's head football coach, Dick Lyon has Ix'i'n named to the football coachinj; staff at the U.S Military Academy according to an announcement today by West Point officials.

After Springfield he went to Clyde Central School where he served not only as football coach but as baseball and jay-vee basketball coach as well His high school football teams won 30, lost 7 and tied 3 and his five year stint included two undefeated seasons.

Lyon's next move was to Wellsville High where in two seasons his teams won 9, lost 6, and tied 1. ik id Next Lyon was named head football coach at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy. At RPI which has never been known as a football power, Lyon hit the skids and came away with a 4-19 record in three seasons. In 1958 Lyon took over at Ithaca. There was success here from the beginning with four straight wins.

The 6-1 record was Ithaca's first winning season in seven years. The years that followed were 5- 2, 4-3 and 44 and then the Bombers turned in three straight 6- 2 seasons. In 1965 it was the undefeated 8-0 year followed by last season's 4-4 mark. Lyon and his wife Helen and their two teenage children Kath-ryn and Timothy, make their home in Ithaca at 501 Turner PI.

His counterpart is Bill Meek, who is the offensive coordinator. Cahill, as head coach, will supervise both men and have the final responsibility for the team's development. looking back over his shoulder.

Lyon feels that "Ithaca College is just starting to bud into a tremendous institution with a great future." During his stay on South Hill, Lyon's Bombers chalked up a 49-20 record over nine seasons, including a perfect 8-0 slate in J965. This was the first undefeated season in 35 years of Ithaca College football. Following this all-winning effort Lyon was named the Ithaca Journal's Coach of the Year. A native of Elmira, Lyon was a Naval officer during World War II. Following the war he quarterbacked at Colgate University, then under Andy Kerr.

He graduated in 1947 and headed for Springfield College for graduate work and served as a graduate assistant coach under SpencerHigli, Tioga Fight For Title Spencer High's court team, at 5-1, is one game up on Tioga Center (4-2) in the Tioga County League, with two games remaining.

Some of their reactions follow.

Frank Faito halfback He is a master at getting you up psychologically. He always made us feel like we were the greatest football players in the world. He was the greatest Lifiuencv on my career. He knows more about the game than anyone I've ever met. A master at organiting.

No time was ever wasted in practice. Ron Doyon end Ithaca is really going to miss him his best quality was his ability to organize and run things efficiently, Dave Barton, defensive hack and team captain I'm really excited and really happy for him. I think he'll be perfect for West Point. He's plenty tough and that's what they'll need. Ixhi Splottl, defensive monster I'm really shocked.

Whoever we get to coach us I'm sure we'll do our best, but he's going to be hard to replace. We'll really miss him. He really commanded the respect of the squad. All of us liked him. He gave football the personal touch.

Larry LeFebre, guard Certainly we'll miss him, but I'll always carry the self-confidence he gave me. You always felt you were a per-son, not just another football player with him. He is always willing to listen, lie treated us like adults. It was really and honor to play for him, we will miss him but can't help but be glad that he's moving on to better things. in -Journal Photo by Rarvdy Shew On the Job Coach Dick Lyon in action going over a play with Rick Gebler, a soph halfback on last fall club.

The coach won the respect and admiration of his players.

For that he could vouch. So did the few scattered fans, most of them students, who screamed for "100" and then screamed for the Steve Burr's layup on a half-court dribble after his steal made it 101-49 with 4:35 to play. Another Burr bucket on a Richie Miller feed cracked the old 117 record. The exhortations of the fans caused the Ithacans to press at times, even with a astronomical lead. And the public address announcer didn't help matters with his berserk yelling.

They'll need it to prepare for the likes of the University of Buffalo and Buffalo State, whom they will meet on their "Western trip this weekend. They didn't get it Tuesday night In South Hill gym. It wasn't billed as a "contest" and It wasn't. The Bombers rolled over pathetic Utica College, 122-53.

The 122 Is a new high for the Bombers, topping the 117 scored against Clarkson Feb. 9, 1957. The reserves pretty much accounted for the new high for Gustafson had 21 for the reserves. It was pretty simple for the bigger Bombers to put the ball in the hoop, for Utica had nobody over 8-1 and only two of them. Neither did Utica have many boys who had had the benefit of high school basketball experience.

But somehow over the season Utica has won three games. This defeat was its 13th.

Ithaca leads it 27 games to 2. Athletic Director Carlton Wood said that "some day when there is more equality in our programs perhaps we will get together again." The Cornell Frosh beat the Ithaca Cubs, 63-57, in a tight preliminary. Frank Knoll's rebounds and Bill Schwarzkopf's buckets helped in the late moments. Paul Frye's goal gave the Red a final lead, 57-56, with 2:19 to play. Ithaca had Its chances thereafter but couldn't cope with Knoll after its missed shots and couldn't stop the 6 5 Schwarzkopf underneath.
