This year, however, the Trojans may have their work cut out for them to keep that incredible string of victories intact when they open their season this afternoon (4 o'clock) at home against South Hagerstown. Top runner Greg Ransom, who placed second in the district meet and 17th in the state meet, has graduated. Also gone from the scene are such standouts as Dave Zentmyer, who was sixth in the districts and 19th in the state; and John Ausherman, who along with Zentmyer and Ransom, formed the potent 1-2-3 punch of the Trojans a year ago. Also graduated is Chuck Cook, who is attending Millersville State College, Jeff- Pilgrim, Mike Bietsch, Paul Leeper, Kevin Roche, Doug Warnock, and Brad Wcller. Those runners aren't going to be easy to replace.

By TOM COCCAGNA Public Opinion Sports Writer Saying that this year's edition of Paul Kaiser's Chambersburg Trojan cross country squad has a lot to live up to would have to be one of the biggest understatements anyone could make. When Kaiser said before last year's state cross country meet that his squad had "an outside shot" at claiming the state title, he just about hit it right on the button. The Trojans finished second in the meet to Penn Hills. Earlier last season, the Trojans claimed the Central Penn League title and won the District III crown. Plus, the Trojans ran their unbeaten string to 56 in a row.

Spanning the six years of inter-scholastic cross country at CASHS, the Trojan Harriers have compiled an unbelievable record of 73-1-1. FINAL PLAY OF THE SEASON TONIGHT AT 8:30 PRIVATE LIVES MAT. WED.

Seniors Greg Peters and Tim Poe. along with juniors Eric Byers and Mike Leedy will also be key members of the Trojan varsity. Several other boys who "came out for the team a little late but who are starting to come on" are Mark Shervanik, Brett Wagner, and Jeff Adams. "The key is the performance of Keith Byers and his brother Eric, Mike Leedy, and Larry Burkholder," Kaiser said. "If they perform well and fill in the slots, they will give us strength and depth.

Of course I'm assuming that Stouffer, DelPrete, and Delaney do well. We're hoping these younger boys gain experience and strengthen us." Not only will the Trojans be competing in the Central Penn loop, but they also will be playing their first campaign in the South Central Athletic League. The veteran Trojan CC mentor sees Carlisle as the team to beat in both leagues, side District Six to face such teams as Pittsburgh North Catholic, Central Dauphin and Altoona, which is located in District Six but plays for WPIAL (District 7) honors. Mount Carmel will be challenged right from the start. The Tornadoes open Saturday night against a Panther Valley club which is primed for an upset.

Joe Diminick's Tornadoes were the only team in the state to win 12 games last year. That included a playoff win over Valley View for the Eastern Conference title. Beaver is the defending WPIAL Class A champ. Pat Tarquinio's club is a slight favorite to repeat. Kiski Area was 12-0 in 1971, but lost in the WPIAL playoffs last year.

District Three in Central Pennsylvania had four all- Odds Are Big Against Keystone High School Teams to Go Unbeaten "Losing boys like those is going to affect us," Kaiser admitted. "We're coming off the best team we've ever had." Rut, he went on. pride and determination may play a big role in giving Chambersburg the impetus to keep the streak going. "The boys are trying especially hard because of that," he said, referring to last year's stellar performance. "The attitude is as good as we've ever had.

They're just training a little harder this year." Coming back to guide the Trojans in their Central Penn League and District III title defense is senior Wayne DelPrete. Last year, DelPrete backed Ransom, Zentmyer, and Ausherman in most of the dual races and finished 12th in the district meet. Also being counted on heavily by Kaiser are seniors Steve Stouffer, Larry Burkholder, and Keith Byers; junior Greg Gontz; and 10th grader Rich Dclaney. and parochial high school grid teams spread all over the state. Last year, there were 22 teams which managed to record all-winning records.

In 1971, there were only 18. State College, Mount Carmel, Kiski Area and Beaver are among the most consistent winners. These schools had backto-back perfect records. The odds wiegh heavy against them, but all four are expected to make strong bids to keep their streaks alive. State College is the only one of the four which hasn't lost a game in the past two years.

Mount Carmel, Kiski and Beaver have playoff losses, but were undefeated during regular season play in 1971 and 1972. Coach Jim Williams says his State College club faces what could be its biggest challenge in history. "It looks like this is the toughest schedule we've ever had," says Williams, whose Lions have a 23-game winning streak. State College will move out- Final Week EndsTue!

The Trojans will be forced to come into their first meet this afternoon directly following the strike. Although it may not have affected the team members' training schedule, the strike may have taken its toll psychologically.

"The boys have been running, but the strike's biggest effect may be psychological," Kaiser pointed out. "They've been faced with the uncertainty of whether or not they were going to havt their first meet on time. We want to get by the first couple of meets and get reoriented and readjusted." He added, "The heat has affected us some, but of course it has affected the other teams just as much. We have to be careful and guard against heat exhaustion." And the way Chambersburg cross country teams have performed in the past, something like heat exhaustion may be the only thing capable of stopping the Trojans. winning teams last year.

Included were Delone Catholic of the South Central League, Red Lion in York County, Muhlenberg Twp. in Berks County and Upper Dauphin, Twin Valley League champ. Dallas was the only all-winning team in the northeastern secton. Valley View and Riverside were unbeaten, but played each other to a tie. In the Philadelphia area, the list of perfect record clubs in 1972 included Chester St.

James, Pennsbury, Central Bucks West, Lansdown-Aldcn and Lansdale Catholic. Other all-winning entries included Conemaugh Twp. and Everett in District Five, Bald Eagle-Nittany in District Six, Franklin in 10, and Allentown Central Catholic and Shamokin Lourdes. said Nancy Kiner, once one of the ranking women players and a prominent coach. "Now I have to go with Riggs." Althca Gibson, who rose from the New York sidewalks to become tennis queen of Wimbledon and Forest Hills, said she would have to pick Billie Jean for ladies' reasons, but added: "I have one reservation.

Billie Jean doesn't have that big first service it takes to beat Bobby. I think, because of my service and net play, I'd have a better chance." A sampling of opinion around the marquee and club house at the West Side Tennis Club brought forth a variety of response but most of them had a Riggs accent. "I am not anti-woman and I am admirer of Billie Jean's game," said Fred Perry, Britain's king of the courts in the mid-1930s, "but there is no way the best woman player can beat a top club man player. It's all up to Riggs. If he works, he will win comfortably." Billie Jean's stock may have suffered some because of her default to Julie Held-man while trailing 1-4 in the third set of a third round match.

King, a freshman candidate for the Ohio State University football team, is so huge it takes two scales to weigh him daily. The 6-foot-4 309-pound offensive tackle from Toledo. Ohio, puts one foot on one scale and the other on another scale to weigh himself.

The scales only go to 300 pounds. "He's so big he can wipe out the entire side of a line," quipped Ohio State All-American John Hicks, a fellow tackle. PITTSBURGH (AP) John "Five Yards" Karcis, former professional football player with Brooklyn, Pittsburgh and New York, is dead. The former Carnegie Tech University fullback died here Tuesday after an extended illness. He was 64.

BUFFALO (AP)-A bid to bring the 1974 Ntore DameNavy football game to Erie County's Rich Stadium here was rejected by the U. S.

Naval Academy. A spokesman for the Annapolis, service academy said the logistics of transporting 4,000 midshipmen to the game was the primary reason for deciding to return the annual match to Philadelphia. Pa. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) Coach Joe Paterno says Penn State's football team could get hot if the weather would turn cold.

"This squad has worked as hard as any we've ever had but they can't go 100 per cent for any length of time because of the heat." Paterno said Wednesday. "Our timing is way off." The temperature here was in the 90s for the 10th straight day Wednesday as the Nittany Lions prepared for their nationally-televised opener against Stanford Sept. 15. "We'll just keep working and hope we get a break in the weather," said Paterno. SEATTLE (AP) Time has run out for five Elks' lodges.

They didn't change their membership policies fast enough to keep their blocs of season tickets for University of Washington football games. University officials said Wednesday they will put the 290 tickets up for sale at the gate on an individual game basis because the clubs failed to certify that they were not practicing racial discrimination. "This is just part of the breaks of the game." said John Brat-man, 43, former exalted ruler of the Ballard lodge in Seattle. "The reaction (among members) is mixed, but there's no i sense to make a fuss." 1 The decision resulted from an affirmative action anti-discrimination policy adopted last April by the university's board of regents. Later, university administrators announced the policy would bar bloc sales of season tickets to groups practicing racial discrimination.
