Capital Area Cagers Launch Season Tonight A letter from Fort Lauder- Florida, reporting the outstanding achievements of a high school football star down that way, also brings back memories of a moment of glory enjoyed by a Lebanon High School football team of some years ago. The mail included a tear sheet from the Fort Lauderdale News which, contained the story and a photo layout of an All-County Football team for 1968. One of the players named to that All-Star Dream team is the soil of a former Leb- anonlan and letterman in football on the Lebanon High team of 1947 a standout squad in LHS annals. as first team quarterback in the Florida high school offensive eleven is one Randy Miller, a 6-1, 180-pound, 17-year-old junior, who sparked a fine Plantation high school team to a great season. The young Florida schoolboy grid ftar is the son of Mr.

and Mrs. Edward Miller, both former Lebanonians, who reside at 5021 llth Street, Plantation, Broward County, Florida, 33114. Dad Played Here It is also of local interest to point that the lad's father was a tackle on the 194T squad that shared the Pennsylvania Football Conference title with Steelton and Lancaster in Lebanon'! lone league title campaign. In recalling his high school football connection of more.thah a score of years ago, the proud father of the young Florida athlete Infers that bis son possibly inherits some of the football knowledge the father picked up as a Lebanon High gridder. Tribute To Coach IB respect, he pays a tribute to his coach of the time, Mike Intrieri as "one of the finest coaches a high school athlete could have," and jokingly adds that "perhaps some of the knowledge I learned from Coach Intrieri has rubbed off on my boy." And he closes that comment with the request to pass his best regards along to his former high school coach.

The proud papa, and rightfully so, ii married to the former Ritt Allwein, of Lebanon, his "high school sweetheart," JM he styles her, and they; ari the parents of four Their union has been blessed with three sons, Edward serving overseas in the United States Air Force; Randy, the 17- All-County quarterback; Mike, aged 13, and a daughter, Jode, aged 10. A Merited Choice According to the story accompanying the naming of the) All-County team down Fort Lauderdale way, the selection of tie.Miller lad is a merited one. He was the first quarterback in the county to complete passes covering more than 1,000 yards during the 1968 season, and got off to a real start'with three TD: aerials in the first game of the season. In appraising Ms All-County quarterback, Plantation coach Bob Gillette notes that Miller a versatile performer who Is also adept on roll-out options, and for that ability is considered "really dangerous to the opposition, and is especially tough to defense." The lad's coach must also be glad to know that he still has another season of high school football eligibility. The young athlete's grand parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Edward Miller, of 431 Canal Street, this city, are also justifiably proud of their athletically-talented grandson, as his father played a line position on the eleven of 1947, and had little chance to grab any of the spotlight generally dominated by the running or passing backs and pass receivers. It's nice to hear from a boy who wore Lebanon's Red and Blue colors creditably on jreat team, and who is recalled ay the reporter who watched the performances of the Cedar in those days that 1947 team in particular, as the only Cedar team to at least share a CPC championship. That 1947 Team And if it'll refresh any mem ones, it might be of interest to recall the members of that title- sharing Lebanon team of 1947 that lost only one conference game the share the itle with their Steelton con querors, and Lancaster. Oddly enough, the Cedars handed Lancaster its only conference loss that season, 14-7, while Red Tornado, in turn knocked the Steam Rollers from the unbeaten class, arid then Steelton came along to knock the Cedars out of sole possession of the championship in the season finale by a 20-0 score.

The 1947 Lebanon squad Included Tom Heckard, Mishi Maririkov, "Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside," if you remember; Joe Moore, Co-captains Carrol! Kramer and Ernie Gibble, Bob jSchirato, Bill Umberger, Don Gordon, Ed Miller, Tony Stran- garity, Dick Hess, Clutch Weik Frank Pressel, Jack McCaffery George Levendis, Dick Smith and John Witman, all seniors, and Jack Coble, Johnny Satfler John Buffamoyer, Art Hersh berger, Bill Albright, Sam Bo Ian, Leon Meyer, Hiester Ging Boris Bob Pis tone, Russ Hess ciarence Kimmel MahlonrBloucb, Herb Umbesrger Bob Trautnian and a BrightbUl. Starts College Basketball The mailbag also brings some interesting information from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Coe College is located, and a fresh man basketball team about to kick off the 1968-69 season. Of considerable local terest is the notation that the Coe yearling cage squad includes (Clipper) Gollam, the former 6-i Norlebco three- sport athlete in soccer, basketball end track.

The ex- Viking athlete propped for college at Bnllis Academy in Maryland since graduating front the Norlebco school, and got his first taste of football at the Maryland prep school.

I didn't know it Phil until they announced it." It was the first time the Ssposito brothers had seen each other since August when the training camps started and was the first time they had met professionally.

Thsre will be no junior varsity contest RECORD ATTENDANCE CHICAGO (UPD-Attendance at Big 10 football games drew a record 3,141,837 people this year, the Conference announced George Marinkov Speaks LHS Grid Parents 7 Fete By WALT LONG Dally News Sportswriter MT. ZION All George Marinkov seemed to heed was a numeral "15" on his back and a pigskin under his ami and he could have zigzagged Jie length of the Mt. Zion Fire Hall without a hand touching him. That's how little "Wagon Wheels" has changed i physical appearance since gaining All-State and Scholastic All-America football recognition at Lebanon High School 16 years ago. Otherwise, the one-time off- field prankster has matured considerably as a teacher-coach, whose address at the fifth annual LHS Football Parents Banquet on Thursday night was entirely of the serious nature.

George, one of a group of brothers who undoubtedly implanted the name Marinkov as the biggest in LHS football history, is now a coach at Methacton High School near Collegeville. The Cedar gridders listened attentively, as they should to an alumnus who has gained such stature since graduating in 1953. Marinkov led the nation in punt returns as a sophomore at North Carolina State and later captained the Wolfpack in his injury-ridden senior year. He also coached at Fort Dix during a service stint. The ex-Cedar dwelled on the subject of football, of what it has done for him, and what it can do for present crop of high school athletes.

"Football is more than just a game," he remarked. "It's a game of experiences. It started at Henry Houck, where I played under Harry Matala and John Fox, and then at Lebanon High, where my coaches were Mike Intrieri, Al Sincavage, and Bob Hess. They all helped me a lot and the experiences prepared me well for my days at North Carolina State. "Football influenced me in fair play and taught me how to rely on my fellowmen," the former ace halfback continued.

"You don't see apathy on a football field. If there is, it will be taken off the field of play quickly." Marinkov also recalled some of the fond memories of playing against such professional greats as Milt Plum, Lenny Moore, Sonny Jurgensen, Sam Huff Bruce Bosley, Roman Gabriel, and Billy Barnes during his collegiate days. George was introduced by WLYH-TV sports Director, Bob Keller. Charles Gaskins, retired LHS principal, was a specially honored guest for the affair and presented with a plaque by association president, Harry Weaver. Also responding to introductions were Mayor John L.

Worrilow and new LHS principal Edward Palmer, who remarked on his elation of being associated with such competent individuals as coach Reich and athletic director Mik Intrieri. Raymond "Chick" Rager, is developing into a combination Georgie Jessel-Frank Sinatra was back at his usual stand a master of ceremonies and introduced several guests, plus the coaches and their wives, Palmer and Gaskins collaborated in presenting the players and coaches with gifts.

The Cougars tuned up for tonight's game with a wia at Cocalico earlier this week, while the Annville-Cleona eag- ers also invaded Lancaster county successfully by topping Manheim Central, 56-53, on the latter's court this week.

The Spartans started their season by topping Lebanon 1 Cedars, 56-50, and made it two straight in as many starts by taking the Valley Forgo Military Academy Cadets into camp by a lopsided 85-46 score at Hershey on Tuts- day night.

LVC Cagers Lose Season Opener To Johns Hopkins Valley College cagers spotted Johns Hopkins too much of a lead in the first half in launching their 1968-99 season in Baltimore last night, and went down under a 8S-5I count. The Blue Jays took charge of the game early and fashioned a 40-28 lead in the first twenty minutes of play at Dutchmen were slow letting acclimatized, and that lead held up in the face of an LVC half rally that couldn't wipe out the deficit. Brian Burke paced l.hV homesters and topped t'h scoring with 24 points, and tit 16-point output in the first, half sparked them to that advantage that proved too much for visiting Dutchmen. Steve Mellini, a sophomott) from Babylon, N.Y.

bowed into college varsity basketball as top scorer for the Dutchmen with 15 points, as Hal Todd, an LVC co- captain, and Dave Miller, a Norristown sophomore paced the LVS freshmen last season, gave him a run for honors with 14 points tech.
