Call Of The Wild!

       WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28TH.
  
               CALL OF THE WILD!

         I've been attending a lot of High
   School sports lately. I've got one
   grand daughter in soccer, another in
   Volleyball, and a grandson in Football.
         Win or lose I like to see them on
   the field or court and join the cheers
   when they or they team does something
   good.
         Obliviously the rules differ from
   one sport to another. I don't know all
   those rules. But I'm surprised as how
   many other spectators do!
          In fact, judging from the shouts
   of a block of "fans" at last night's
   District Soccer Playoff game, I was
   shocked at the number of people
  who know those rules far better
  than the officials on the field and,
  apparently, can see infractions far
  better than those officials as well.
          It's good to know that. should
  an official become ill, any one of
  those fans could easily have
  stepped in to take over!
           The PIAA should take note
  of these experts and offer then all
  striped uniforms. Although,
  admittedly, most of those I heard
  correcting the officials seemed to be
  a bit out of shape! I'm not quite
  sure they'd be able to make it from
  the stands to the field....let alone
  run on that field.
           At least they wouldn't need
  whistles! Their "Boos" could be
  heard throughout the stadium.
  Maybe they were just rehearsing
  for Halloween?!
            Hope the kids know enough
  to ignore them, and that all your
  NEWS is good!
