Even though they were down by five at the half, the Lions convin cingly beat Juniata last year, 81-52 Parkhill said he doesn’t think hi.- team will be overconfident because of the 29-point margin of victory in that game. “Sometimes that is a factor. And I think a couple of times last year that hurt us. 1 think it probably won’t be as much a factor this year because it’s our opening game and everybody’s fired up for their open ing game,” Parkhill said. Appleman said the team can't afford to take any opponent lightly “We can't look past anybody,’’ he said. “We’re the type of team that we’re either real good or real bad. There’s not much in between. I think we have to be mentally ready and I think from what happened last year (down by five at the half), we gave them a chance to think’ ‘Hey, we can play with these guys ’ “This year we want to show them that we just want to put them away early and just say, Hey look, we re going to take control and thanks for coming.’ ” h a m Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy the I Autumn's bounty and to get together K.

It seemed as though upsetting the now-lOth-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-2) Saturday would have been good enough for a reappearance in the poll, but many voting writers ap parently didn’t think so. Florida Citrus Bowl officials can't be very happy about the latest poll. After the Lions downed the Irish, it appeared as though the bowl would match a Top 10 team against a Top 20 squad. But the Lions didn't move up, and Clemson dropped from No. 8 to No. 13 after pizza and four Cokes® for Only $B.BB plus tax One coupon per pizza Expires 11/21/87 North: 237-1414 South: 234-5655 on rankings and rank games losing to South Carolina 20-7 Satur day night. • • • Speaking of the poll, it’s interest ing to see that Penn State’s sched ule, which many people knocked at the beginning of the season, includ ed four teams now in the Top 20. Two of those, Syracuse and Notre Dame, are in the Top 10. Alabama is currently No. 18 and Pitt is No. 20. Yes, the Lions did play patsies like Bowling Green and Cincinnati, but their schedule was as tough as just about anybody’s. West Virgin ia, which Penn State came back to beat in the fourth quarter, is going to the Sun Bowl. In all there will be six Lion opponents playing in bowls. It’s nice to see Syracuse in the Sugar Bowl, with a chance, if every thing goes right, to win the national title. It would be great to see the title stay in the East. • • • What has become of Thanksgiv ing Day NFL football games?

Four teams and only one of them is over .500. How appropriate it is that these teams are playing on Turkey Day. You’d probably be better watching the games before you eat while you’re stomach’s empty. It’s hard not to be excited about the men’s basketball team’s game against Oklahoma next Tuesday. The Lions will be a big underdog, but just having the opportunity to see a nationally-ranked team of Oklahoma’s caliber in Rec Hall is a treat. Yes, Temple is a national power and visits Happy Valley each year for an A-10 Conference game. But Oklahoma is a team Penn State basketball fans rarely get an oppor tunity to see. If you like hoops, even just a little bit, don’t waste this chance.

Seeing the 76ers without Dr. J was like seeing the Celtics without Larry Bird. Which is exactly what happened when the two rivals matched-up last Friday.

With such good games, including what could possibly be a national championship game between Okla homa and Miami, on New Year’s Day. the two Jan. 2 bowls will be very anti-climactic. The games could be interesting. The Peach will match up Indiana and Tennessee, while the Hall of Fame pits Michigan against the SEC runner-up. But the timing is bad.
