If to Whit break for the sabers. Lockwood i improbable switch surfaced at the banquet he confirmed from his Pitburg Home Mon Day that in might happen. Lockwood bleeds Tilburg Blue. And hates the red worn by eted Mountain neighbor Span Dahlem. At least he did As a player during the Barons Safe dynasty of the 1970s and Ai head coach from1983 to b. One reason lie quit after the 85 season was pres sure from Bill Unis big upset loss in Ibe playoffs. Even though hit three year coaching record read 23 7, he sat out 86. Lockwood appears ready for a comeback. Not a Tilburg Ai Span Dahlem. Which should get on its Knees for Lockwood s brilliance. Spang Hain t won a thing in football. Ever. Jim Hill tried like crazy last year but Flimsy support led to a 3-6 Flop. Hill says he rejected Span Dahlem s offer for a second coaching year. His answer to a possible Job under his Lockwood no. Dave Lockwood has a Challenge Here says Hill. They could the brought in Kenny Hatfield or Bill Parcells last year and they would t have gotten sup my bet is that if Lockwood wants the head Job Spang brass has to be guaranteeing serious support which makes the sabers who draw from a big base a suddenly serious contender. Where does that leave Pitburg the Barons appeared ready to offer Lockwood his old Job Back. Thai would be meant goodbye to Ernie Treubig who took Over last year and got Pitburg into the Safe final. Treubig said alter his upset toss to Chicksands lathe was through coaching. Now he sounds like he would return i approached. Stay tuned. Sad new arrived the week of the banquet. Sex Pitburg coach Gene Jackson died March 9 when his Al 5 crashed in Alamogordo . Jackson a 40-year-old lieutenant colonel when he went Down was a major when he coached the Barons in 1979 and 80. Jackson had it Lough at Pitburg. He allowed berate Raetz who produced three straight Safe titles. In his first Teaton Jackson Barons started 2-4. Talk about pressure. Somehow he rallied them to four straight victories that just made the playoffs. They won the Csc title then lost 10 Lakenheath 16 13 in the Safe final Jackson returned in 1980 to dominate Safe. I Barons went 12-1, including a 21-0 revenge of Lakenheath in the title game. Harm s All Star receiver la. Baker was nominated for Csc athlete of the year. He inst in the final run to Sembach s Stan Hayes who besides play ing a Stellar fullback and linebacker was a Strong wrestler and softball player come next fall. Baker will have the last cheer. His Hawks should win everything in football. By then Hahn will have rallied around its new coach Paul Killion. He s the 48-year-old chief Mas Ter sergeant from Clearfield pa., who replaces t,. Chambers rotated after winning coach of the year honors while leading Hahn to its 9-0, regu Lar season title. Killion s ascension from Spectator to head coach caused some dissension. Particularly from Fred Mcdonald last year s offensive coordinator. Mcdonald says that after failing to land the head Job he refused to join Killion s staff. Mcdonald s View of Killion he s been Here three years and allow a sudden he knows How to actually Killion was on base two season before getting the Plum. How did he get it Cham Bers endorsed him and the players backed him. You can t blame them. It s easy to like Killion. He says things like it s a lot easier to coach with a col Beer in your he s also right on with Terry Zitkovich the re Cord Selling Safe quarterback Terry will play for me. He s a Superb athlete. He has a great under standing of the game t owe him one thing a shot at quarterback. I d be remiss not to give him thai not i d have my head examined.1 that s the same Millovich who never got a serious shot under Mcdonald and said he would t play i Mac got the head Job. To this Day Mcdonald defends his bad decision in the 86 Csc title game to keep Zitkovich on the Bench while the Hawks dived 10 a 14-9 loss to Bil Burg. Zitkovich said he could do it All by Mcdonald. Let him try and it Cones Down to this Mcdonald is too strident for this Veteran Bunch. He s Teller suited for a team desperate for direction. A team like . Killion knows his goal. Not another Csc Lilly. It s not Good enough he says. My Boss wants Towin Safe. Winning another Csc is like kissing your Rhein main figures a winning season would be like kissing Samantha Fox the rockets coming off a 2-7 abyss re hired War Ren Stanley to climb up. He coached them to 7-3 and 6-3 records in 1983 and 84. Stanley will win at once he s that kind of organizer. He already has challenged tradition by scheduling an exhibition against Wiesbaden.
