Serany inducted into Duquesne Hall of Fame Former Hazleton High all-time great athlete and head basketball coach Frank Serany was inducted posthumously into the Duquesne University Sports Hall of Fame, recently. Serany was a standout in both varsity basketball and tennis at Duquesne during the early 1930s.

He played a key role, as a point guard in basketball, in the advancement of the Dukes to games at Madison Square Garden in New York City. As a player at Hazleton High, he was a starter on both the 1927-28 and 1928-29 state championship basketball teams coached by the late Hughie McGeehan, The '27-28 team finished 19-1 and the '28-29 team was 21-0. Serany led the '29 team in scoring with an average of 18.6 points a game, which won him the East Penn League scoring title. In a number of games that season, he outscored the entire opposing teams. Metro Weston was the second leading scorer on the '29 team with an average of 10.4 points a game.

The '29 Mountaineers averaged 49.1' points and allowed their opponents an average of only 21.9 a game. Coatesville was a 40-8 victim and Eastern was dealt a 53-17 drubbing. Following his college career, Serany became an assistant coach to McGeehan with former HHS teammate Venard Fegley (also deceased). In 1948, following McGeehan's death, Serany was named head coach at HHS. Fegley had previously departed to become head coach at Easton High.

Serany's career record as a head coach was 165-85 and his teams won three East Penn League championships. In 1959-60, the Mountaineers finished 24-3, the most wins by a Mountaineer team ever until Coach Bruce Leib's 1985-86 club won 25 games and lost five enroute to the District 2 AAAA championship and one inter-district victory. Despite his diminutive size (5-7) and weight (145), Serany also coached and played pro basketball and high school football. He was the regional singles tennis champion for years and served as tennis pro at the Valley Country Club for many years. He also excelled in golf and billiards.

Attending the induction ceremony in Pittsburgh were his widow, Maxine Serany; his son, Jack; his grandson, Danny; and other relatives. 1 Frank Serany Vikings" Tim Jacobs named Mid-Penn Conference MVP ffw) ISf L-jHs- c-.

Smith called Peete's 16-of-28, 189-yard passing performance against UCLA several days after he was hospitalized with the measles "one of the greatest I've ever seen. It was a superhuman effort gutty, classy, full of big plays. If that wasn't a Heisman performance, I don't know what is." Miami coach Jimmy Johnson hopes his team won't be complacent against Arkansas, a team it walloped, 51-7, last year, after last week's 44-3 trouncing of LSU.

"Without question, there will be a tendency for our team to have a letdown," he said. "I am realistic in thinking this team will be somewhat complacent in preparing for Arkansas. There's no way I can expect our team to be as intense as they were a week ago." Notre Dame, Southern Cal, West Virginia and Arkansas are the four remaining unbeaten-untied teams and the Razorbacks are seeking their first perfect season since the NCAA went to an 11-game schedule in 1970. Arkansas won 11 games only in 1964 (10-0, plus a Cotton Bowl victory over Nebraska) and 1977 (10-1, plus an Orange Bowl victory over Oklahoma). Ironically, Johnson was a captain of that 1964 club.

Florida State trails 22-7-1 in its series with Florida but the Seminoles are 2 -touchdown favorites over the All American Bowl-bound Gators this time. Florida State has won nine straight since dropping its opener to Miami, 31-0. "This is our second FSU coach Bobby Bowden said. "The first 10 games are always our first season. The Florida game is a season in itself.

We can never underestimate Florida. "Their defense is about as good as anybody in the country (No. 2 nationally). When you can play defense like they can, you're always going to be in the game." MR. CHIPS CHIMNEY SWEEP SERVICE AVOID CHIMNEY FIRES A M.
