European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 29, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Friday August 29. 1986 the stars and stripes Page 23 who s no. 1? 645 it Emo by Kwi Goon Ramstein to top Csc Aga a but not Safe Bubuc Syfox Staft write beware the Optimist. He wears a whistle. He smiles. He rubs his hands with glee. Then he pronounces Well win the Pitburg coach Ernie Treubig who arrived from Alconbury sunday Guaran tees the first league title for the Barons since 1981 i won t Tell you who Well play next week. I la Tell you who Well Camp new Amsterdam coach Ron Gill whose wolfhounds have won two games in their two year history says we have so much latent we can t lose. I la see you in England in such talk. And the air Force season on the continent does t even kick off until i . Saturday. The one coach who backs his words is Bill Schulz. He coaches the Ramstein rams winners of four straight Csc championships and three straight Safe titles. Europe s version of by Schultz forever promises Victory. He constantly badmouth the enemy. Then he delivers. Says Schultz the Safe autobahn goes through in 1986, Schultz will prove to be partially right. His rams will win a fifth straight Csc title. But the Safe string Dies. Ramstein will Fly to the . And lose to upper Scyford on nov. 22. Ramstein we have a Chance to do something nobody else has Ever done says Schultz of the unprecedented four straight Safe titles. That s been part of my Pep talk since june 26,when we opened Camp. The Only Way to get there is hard work. Every game is like a Csc title game. Every one will be out to get us. Everyone won t be enough. The rams counter with Power quarterback Jeff Wilson s Arm wide receiver Clar ence Toomer s hands tailback Willie Mccray s legs. That Trio orchestrated Ramstein s heart thumping dance through the 1985 playoffs. Could they get complacent Schultz laughs Jeff s not sitting Herron is pushing him he s to bile and can throw the football. If left went Down my heart rate would t climb so much. Geffory Greer is a Small package but every bit As Tough As Mccray. If Willie went Down i would t have a heart if Toomer went Down there s always Walter Brown resuming. And new Speed Ster Dwayne Rapp. The biggest change is shifting Stan Henderson 23s pounds from fullback to linebacker. That s about As big As the rams get. The key says Schultz is Flat out Pitburg not since the Barons began contend ing 10 years ago have they had a coach so bubbly. Ernie Treubig spoke the same Way with Alconbury last. Year and the spar tans came within three Points of Cap luring the .sports conference title. Now he greets with i people Nappy Toomer App to be Here. Well win the Safe Champi he continues Hatton from what i saw yesterday monday his first Day As coach the defense is absolutely Superior. The running backs Are absolute monsters. If we can Fine tune the offensive line to open holes i pity our Treubig who hails from Long Island and went to Alabama knew he Nad the Pitburg Job in june. He took permissive try to jump the Channel sunday and will be permanently stationed sept. 1. That s a lot of moving. Treubig Hopes to get similar action from his running backs. Freddie Miller and Dwayne Harp who were the Csc most valuable play ers the last two years must dominate again for Pitburg to Challenge Ramstein. They no longer have Ernie Johnson blocking at fullback. He s gone. In his place is Power lifter Pernell Deberry who sat out 1985 and look criticism in 1984 for his poor blocking. The first question is at the biggest offensive position. Will Greg Hatton pro Duce at quarterback where he has t played in years the second question is at the biggest defensive spot. Will Guys like Pat Bur Bridge and Steve eng Chart make an Impact at linebacker the Way Al Hunter did the last three years if they do the Barons could rerun last year s act when they went 8-0 and lost in the playoffs. Sembach what do you do when your team loses in the playoffs by one touchdown to the eventual Safe champions if you re Sembach coach Jack born Hoft you think about that All win Ter and Spring. You think about How we could be beaten Hahn in the Csc final and then won it All at Safe you also make other moves. You try to build stronger offensive line so quarterback de Jones won t have to flee at the drop of a helmet. You design a 5-2 defens that this time would Stop Ramstein s Wilson Toomer Boomer. Then you Hope linebacker Stan Hayes and comeback Freddie Edwards have another All Csc Campaign. Bomholt s plans did t look too hot in Sembach s 47-0 exhibition loss at upper Heyford. What Bornhoft worry he said on that Early August Day i expect to return to Wethersfield billeting and come Here and play Wiesbaden the flyers to make the playoffs Check for spelling. Fix the computer. Stop the presses. Anything. Just make sure that s the right team in the fourth and final playoff spot. Wiesbaden has t won anything played in pads since 1975. Then again the flyers Haven t had Gary Covington coaching them. He s the How they la finish the stars and stripes predicts the Continental sports conference will end this Way in 1986 1. Ramstein. 2. Tilburg. 3. Sembach. 4. Wiesbaden. 5. Torr Jon. 6. Hahn. 7. Span Dahlem. 8. We Bruecken. 9. Rhein main. 10. Camp new Amsterdam. Opening games stars and stripes predictions i .saturday Sembach Over Span Dahlem by 6 Ramstein Over Wiesbaden by 9 i . Sunday Torr Jon Over we Bruecken by 3 1 . Monday Tilburg Over Hahn by 4 Cna Over Rhein main by 2 Guy who turned Ramstein around immediately in the Early 1980s. My first year Here i want to be competitive he says. That equates to playoff Contention. A 5-4 record will make it. A quarterback like Tommy Thomas a6-3, 215-Pound californian and speedy cornerback Robert Barnes make it All the More Likely. So docs bulk on the offensive line like James scare 220 Pound Rich Ard Sullivan 240edward Corker 270 and James Barnes Meyers 274. And on the defensive line like Willie Gilbert 245 and Edward Franklin 265. The flyers should be called ground ers. They la slay on the ground. Covington is especially excited about running backs Harry Holmes and Eric see Csc on Page 25
