42, The Daily Register, Ked Barry McClune Life Gets Too Complex For Athletic Directors Looking 'Em Over -Middletown, N.J. Thursday, June 7, 1973 Huskies, Devils Reach for Crown The Monmouth College Invitational Tournament. will crown its 10th champion on Saturday. Fifth-seeded Matawan Regional and sixth-ranked Shore Regional will be fighting for the honors. Matawan coach Don Kammann will pitch Barry McClune but Shore mentor Pete Sciarabba has not ticketed a pitcher for the starting assignment yet.

While Matawan has never won the MCIT title. Shore will be looking to garner its third tournament trophy. Matawan came close last year, but fell to Middietown Township in the finals, 3-1, when Mike Steffer won a four-hit victory over McClune. who hurled a two-hitter. The road to the finals has been a bumpy one for the Blue Devils.

They had to come from behind to beat Long Branch, in eight innings in the first round. They were down, 7-2, early in the If you've heard a faint call for help. or seen a hand going under water for the third time recently. it could have been any one of a couple of dozen athletic directors in local high schools. Many years ago.

this man was called a faculty manager, Then they promoted him to athletic director, and now they are trying to elevate him to magician. We won't bring up again the self-styled godlike attitudes of some. The boom in scholastic sports, particularly in girls' athletics, is what is driving the AD's up the wall, and for that they deserve sympathy, Glad It's Over One athletic director said last night that he had scheduled 115 events for his school's teams this past spring, and was he ever breathing a big sigh of relief that it was all over. Most of us came out of schools that had boys track and baseball in the spring. Now athletic directors have to contend with boys track, baseball, golf and tennis, and girls track and softball.

On any given day, the guy could have six teams playing. The frequent rains this spring also helped make the poor chaps gray. Try rescheduling games for six teams, lining up buses and officials while six different coaches are screaming at you for practice time and space. There isn't a high school in this area that I can think of equipped to handle six sports in one season. There has to be conflicts over use of track facilities, diamonds, locker rooms and showers.

How do you reconcile them? Solomon would have cut the child in half. You obviously can't do that in high schools. Somebody is going to be slighted, and even if the wisest of the AD's manages to even out the slights, coaches are going to be unhappy. Girls Added As noted, the biggest problem is caused by the burgeoning of girls' sports. Every athletic director I have talked to this year has said with near panic in his eyes that he would welcome a female assistant to handle the distaff side.

Unfortunately, experienced females are not plentiful. They themselves are victims of the blatant discrimination against women in sports. Fed with the leftovers themselves when they were in high school and college, they have little to offer today. By RICH NICOLETTI game. Ocean Township also rolled to a 7-2 lead over Shore in the semi-finals, but an eight-run attack with two out in the sixth inning put the Devils on top.

10-7. Matawan. the Shore Conference Division titlist, crumpled Wall Township, 7-0, in the first round. Wall was seeded fourth. Gained Revenge The Huskies gained their revenge over last year's loss to Middletown when they beat the defending champion, 64, in the semis on Monday.

The finals will be a real test for Shore, the Division winner. The Devils have a hard-hitting club, but lack a steady defense. While Long Branch committed 10 errors in its -round loss to Shore. the victors fumbled the ball five times. Matawan appears to be a tough all-around team.

McClune is the big stopper on the mound. but Rich Mendez and Doug Smith have been excellent in relief. There is only one answer. If the public wants as many sports as they are now getting in schools, it will have to foot the bill in facilities and administrative help. If daddy gets his kicks out of saying his daughter is on the softball team, or his son is on the golf squad, old dad better be willing to vote for higher tax bills.

Until that time comes, smile when you see your local athletic director. It could be the first smile he has seen in some time. Stadium Seems Safe Speaking of smiles, there couldn't have been too many in the offices of the New York Giants or New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority yesterday. The reason, of course, was the defeat of Gov. William T.

Cahill, father of the pleasure dome in the swampland. None of the other candidates have expressed any opposition to the Hackensack Meadowlands project which will eventually showcase a 75,000 capacity stadium for the New Haven Giants and a race track for those with too much money. However, recent indictments of persons directly or indirectly connected with the meadowlands project could cause a new administration in Trenton to take a hard look at it. This could cause changes in personnel (patronage did not die with Andrew Jackson) and delays in planning, awarding contracts and building. If any of this should happen, there will be no smiles on the faces of David A.

"Sonny" Werblin, authority chairman, and Wellington Mara, Giant president. QUICK BURSTS Giants still having trouble signing third-round pick Rich Glover of Nebraska. While Glover is said to be considering following Johnny Rogers to Canada, don't bet on it. He wants to play in New York badly. Giants will be housed in a different dorm at Monmouth College this year.

Their equipment arrived at the College gym Tuesday. Tom Power, director of promotions for the Giants, is now a local resident. He made the big move from Staten Island. Most improved scholastic golfer over the course of the season was Fred Browning of Red Bank Regional, who started disastrously and finished with a place in the Shore Conference meet and a 35 in his last match.

Wall Stadium RT.34 681-6400 The Huskies have a few players who can hit the long ball and a solid defense, led by catcher Skip Deitz. McClune has given up just seven hits in the two games he's pitched in the tournament. He blanked Wall and allowed two hits, and then turned his night arm on Middletown with a five-hitter.

If he can hold Shore and lead Matawan to the MCIT crown, he vis almost a sure shot for the event's most valuable player award. The tournament's batting title is still very much in the air, but it will almost certainly be a player involved in the finals. Faces Problem Shore's Sciarabba is faced with an unenviable problem. Both of his front-line starters have been hit hard in tournament competition. John Bedell and Bob Woolley, who saw action against Long Branch and Ocean, were tagged for a total of 14 runs.

Middletown's victory over St. John Vianney was the comeighth-seeded plus. So far, second-seeded only Lakemittee's wood has fallen seventh-seeded Ocean, thirdranked Long Branch has been dumped by sixthrated Shore, and fourth-seeded Wall Township was blasted by fifth-seeded Matawan. The reason is not due to inaccuracy. It just so that there were eight strong teams in the happens event each with the ability to defeat the other on any given day.
