European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 18, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Safe football 88 7. Bent Waters 1987 record 7-3, second in . S american division. Record in the 80s 53-28-2. Top returnee Bonnie Dave wide receiver. Top newcomer Todd Clymer nose guard. Key to 88 quarterback. Bonnie Daye likes to be called  not that Daye is ashamed of his first name in High school they tried to say  it s just that this Guy looks like silk either on Ben Waters basketball court or on the phantoms football Field. These Days Daye does his act from his wide receiver Slot. Sometimes it s a dance like when he caught a rope from Scott Conley and tiptoed into the end zone in an exhibition against upper Heyford two weeks ago. Sometimes it s a flip like when he held on to a 24-yarder from Conley after Landing on his Back. Daye 26, from Durham n.c., is in his second year with Ben Waters. That Means he was part of the phantoms phantom run at the . S american division title in 1987. They started 6-0, then poof the trophy disappeared on three straight losses. Tony Harris finally has his hand on Ben Waters top Job. When we were 6-0, we did t prepare for the division. We were already preparing for the . And Safe championships said Daye. Said Conley we won t make that mistake  Mike Mason a punter trying to unseat Conley at quarterback said basically we did t adjust. We should be played every game like it was our  so Ben Waters tries again. Cal Bias coached the phantoms to near titles the last two years and he s gone. Tony Harris a Ben Waters assistant eight years finally has the head Job. When the colonel said Tony i want you to do it i was pleased with it Harris said in his usual understatement. Harris hates to reveal the most obvious team plans. Even after Conley completed 8 of 19 passes for 112 Yards followed by Cornelius Johnson s 2-10-31 numbers in Ben Waters 33-14 exhibition Victory Over Heyford Harris said therb Job was t settled. Harris does Laud Todd Clymer a nose guard despite his 1 70 pounds. Said Harris he s fast and Strong As  yes Harris loves his phantoms. Ben Waters will always be a contender he says. Harris might have to watch out for an upset sept. 5 when his phantoms visit Chicksands. His son Earl Harris a defensive Back for the Chicks said when you get to Ben Waters Tell my pop i m ready for  pop has a Daye care plan to take care of his kid. 8. Sembach 1987 record 4-5, fifth in Csc. Record in the 80s 31-45. Top returnee Stan Hayes linebacker. Top newcomer Dennis Hueston linebacker. Key to 88 Rushing. It s the biggest player move within the Csc since Marlon Brown shifted his map Talent from we Brucken to Ramstein in 1984. The rams won a Safe title because of Brown. The Sembach tigers have similar aspirations after Landing Dennis Hueston from Bibu Ruthis month. Dennis Hueston does what Stan Hayes does said Sembach defensive coordinator Tracy Phillips. They bring the level of the people around them up. I can see a defense giving up under 100 Yards per game total offence for the  that would t Shock Hueston s Pitburg pal Dwayne Harp who said those Guys Are going to follow  Hueston started at linebacker for Ohio state in 1984 and helped the buckeyes reach the Rose bowl. He spearheaded a Pitburg defense that forged a Safe title in 1987. Hueston is so intense Csc coaches were turned off and kept him off the All Star team. Said Harp i told the Guys on the All Star team that Dennis is the Best defensive player in the  Hueston even appears Happy with the move from dynastic Pitburg to scrambling Sembach this team is very Well conditioned and Well coached. You la see a  Sembach already had Hayes the linebacker who turned in a smashing performance As a Down lineman in the All Star game. Yet As Ramstein s former quarterback Jeff Wilson once said Hayes is All they have on  Hueston to the Rescue. Also Raymond Bost a monster Back who likes to go by or.  Phillips boasts Bost is the strongest Guy on the  that defense posted two shutouts in exhibitions against German american teams. The tigers offence generated 67 Points which brings up their new quarterback. Wayne Pennington Calls the signals after three seasons of the game show pick the Sembach  Pennington 25, has t played tackle football since graduating from Pennsville High in new Jersey in 1979. He impressed new coach Ken fears so much that perennial Wunderkind de Jones is second string. Now All fears has to find is a running game. He has returnees Craig Harrison and Ivy Cook in the Backfield. They run behind tackles Stan Wallace and Maruo Lee guards Mark Hardeman and Tim Peckham and Center Pedro Morales. If the ground game complements Hueston s grind game Sembach should Fly into the playoffs. Dennis Hueston takes his Pitburg act to Sembach. 9. Rhein main 1987 record 4-5, sixth in Csc. Record in the 80s 38-39. Top returnee Tim Langley guard. Top newcomer Tor Hill quarterback. Key to 88 secondary. You Ever hear those German soccer announcers scream Tor when someone kicks a goal Rhein main s Public address announcer could scream Tor on every rocket pass. That is if Tor Hill plays at quarterback. Hill thought he would be a quarterback at the University of Akron but lettered As a Strong safety instead. He quit Gerry Faust s squad after the 1986 season and joined the air Force. Now Rhein main coach Warren Stanley hints at Hill plugging the rockets porous secondary. That s Only if Stanley figures lefty Tony Smith can improve on last year s 4-5 record. Said Hill Tony is looking pretty Good. It always helps to have a one two punch in Case something  whoever passes for Rhein main will have time to Check out the Lufthansa planes Landing at adjacent Frankfurt International. The rockets line goes this big 6-foot-9, 300-Pound Guy Hunter at right tackle 260-Pound Gary deeds at left tackle 250-Pounders Tim Langley and Rich Lawton at the guards and 215 Pound John Blankenship at Center. We can Start moving some people around said Stanley. Hunter is the biggest Man in Safe football. He fits in on a rocket team teeming with muscle. Lawton and Langley Bench press Over 400 pounds and nose guard Mike Drew has done 501. Drew is the Safe Power lifting Champion in the 242-Pound class. This is his sixth year at Rhein main and he wants a Safe football championship. We re just tired of not doing anything said the 30-year-old californian. The rockets would do plenty if Greg Booker returned. The busting running Back of 1987 has a bad knee and might not play. That leaves the rockets with Willie Davis and Gerald Mason both coming off injuries. A Stout ground game would make the rockets explosive because their air attack features eight sure hands de Mero John Abbott . Johnson and All Csc tight end Scott Wilber. Who will get the Ball to them Smith or Hill will provide the answer starting aug. 28 against their biggest obstacle to a playoff spot Sembach. August 18, 1988 stripes Magazine 9
