The Easterns and Nationals will be in the back of all Lady
Lion swimmers’ minds as they host their final three meets
over the next two weeks.
'/ “This week we have to peak in order to qualify for Easterns
aid Nationals,” coach Ellen Perry said.
They host Bucknell tomorrow night at 7 in the Natatorium.
Clarion and East Stroudsburg will arrive for a double-dual
contest Saturday at 2 p.m. The swimwomen’s final meet will
be against Maryland Feb. 24 at 4 p.m.
There will be no Lady Lions heading for the Florida shores
this term break. The only waters they’ll be in are at the
Natatorium, where they’ve been in training since October. No
&ne is going to get a tan, but that won’t mean much when the
Eastern Championships begin March 1 and the Nationals get
underway March 17
Coach Perry predicts that the team competition will be
between Penn State, Pittsburgh, Princeton,'and Rutgers.
Fencewomen romp, shooters drop pair
In a meet described by
coach Cramer as “very
disappointing” competition
wise, the Lady Lion women’s
fencing team pounced on,
devoured, and totally
mangled their less than
adequate opponents last
Saturday February 12th. The
Penn State women whipped,
Jersey City, Madison, and
William Patterson (minus
star Ilona Maskal) by scores
of 16-0, 15-1, and 14-2
respectively.

have high expectations of
competing against Pat

Lions, Maskal suffered a leg

“Maine has a few good people, as does Springfield and Yale.
But most of the Northeastern schools will spread out with a
few points each,” she said. “None of them has the depth that
the four of us do.”
Perry said that Pitt and Rutgers are both strong in the
distance events while Penn State specializes in sprints. She is
looking for Princeton to “pick and choose all over.”
The Lady Lions have competed against Pitt and Princeton
but not Rutgers. They edged out Princeton by two points and
lost to Pitt this past weekend. In the 1976 Eastern Cham
pionships Rutgers took the team honors, followed by Prince
tori and Pitt. Penn State finished fifth behind West Chester.
“We had a good team last year but didn’t swim well on the
first day. We’re stronger this year but so is everyone else. The
question will be how well we can perform the entire tour
nament, ’ ’ Perry said.
She has high hopes for both the freestyle and medley relay
teams. The actual teams are not made up yet, but she feels
that several swimmers are capable of swimming a fine race.
Penn State has a young squad, including many freshmen
going to Easterns for the first time. This is particularly true in
diving with the freshman duo of Becky Binny and Lisa Pellow.
“They’ve both seen the premier competition in the East,”
Perry said. “Unless there are some divers in the Northeast we
don’t know about, the diving could be anyone’s event.

Beat rival West Chester
Pucksters clinch top spot
By JERRY LUCCI
Collegian Sports Writer
Talk is fine. But in the wide world of
sports, the little scribbles on the
scoreboard at the end of the game are
what it’s all about.
Today, no one knows that better than
the West Chester hockey team. After
losing their first place berth in the Mid-
Atlantic Hockey Conference to the Penn
State Hockey Club on Feb. 6, the team
told tales as to how last Sunday’s
rematch with the locals would be quite a
different story. Talk was fine, but the
Lions clinched first place honors in the
league with a 7-3 victory.
“After we beat them 3-1 in our rink,
the West Chester players said, ‘Just wait
till we get you in Lafayette Rink, we’ll
kill you guys,’ ” a happy co-captain Bill
Proudman said. “After this win, I don’t
see where they’d have any room to
talk.” " > ,
The 7-1 conference record, 10-5-2 over-
Frisbees take two in tournament
Penn State’s Indoor Ultimate Frisbee team tossed for two
victories in last weekend’s tournament in which they hosted
Carnegie Mellon, Bucknell and the Philadelphia Frisbee Club
In a repeat of last year’s contest, Penn State defeated
Carnegie Mellon 39 to 7 in the opening match. The
Philadelphia Frisbee Club then fell to Bucknell 42-21. Jim
Powers, originator of the Penn State team, also began the
Philadelphia group.
all, now giveS them bragging rights inthe
league, for the West Chester win coupled
with their 7-3 rout of Rutgers on
Saturday gives the locals first seed in the
MACHC playoffs which start March 12 at
King of Prussia Rink.
As predicted, the game was a rough
house affair. Yet, the Lions kept their
composure intact.
“West Chester players were doing
really asinine things like slipping our
guys’ elbows after the whistle and things
like that.” The losers’ coach didn’t help
matters much, according to Proudman.
“As their guys skated past the bench,
the coach would yell, ‘Get number 19 or
take care of number 15,’ things like
that,” Proudman said. “He’s developed
such a reputation with New York teams
that they don’t even want to invite his
team up. I feel sorry for the guy.”
Although there was sorrow in their
hearts, there was fire in the Lions’ veins
as they powered their way to a 4-1 lead

Proudman and Jerry Fry iced the win.
Against Rutgers, winger Terry
Brownschidle, an unsung hero for . the

killed them.”
Brownschidle scored in each period.
Linemate Tom Horgas scored twice and
assisted on two of Brownschidle’s goals.
Rich Balkey and Dennis Herr also
