Scorecard Season's Greetings

No More Shopping Woes
The holidays are upon us, and it's time to comb through the books, games, toys and videos now in the stores to find a gift for the sports nut nearest you. SCORECARD has done is shopping, and here we present our choices. We plan to give them with our tongues pushing the limits of our checks, and remember, caveat emptor.

Ultimate Crappie Techniques

Lear how to catch crappie (it's a fish), how to smell crappie and, best of all, how to cook crappie. One crappie recipe:

Potato-Chip-Coated Crappie
In shallow dish mix buttermilk and pepper.
Place mixture of crushed potato chips, cornflake crumbs and paprika on a plate.
Set oven at 550 degree and grease broiler pan.
Cut crappie into serving-size pieces; dip in buttermilk and coat with chip mixture, pressing lightly.
Place coated fillets on a broiler pan and broil six inches from heat for three minutes.
Turn fillets over and broil until fish flakes easily.

[Serves 4-6, but what, exactly, is a serving-size piece of crappie?]

Airwalk shoes
Fuzzy and funky, they're made from the same material as tennis balls. You probably shouldn't wear them to play hoops in the 'hood, and don't even think about putting them on at Wimbledon.

FlickBall
And you thought you were wasting time in study hall. Now you can impress your friends by finger-flicking colorful cardboard footballs through the air! Sure, you could use pieces of notebook paper, as in the old days, but don't mock this game-Pittsburgh Steeler linebacker-tough Kevin Greene endorses it.

A ONE-POUND BARBELL
It weighs less than a stapler, so overzealous young jocks won't jocks won't get any more buff than bookworms.
