C.C. Reader Bowlin• For Scholar LTD's Streak Into Playoffs By Darrell Reider As the Fall 'Bl Inrtamural Bowling season draws to a close, several teams have made impressive advances to the top four positions and playoff berths. Undoubtedly, the hottest team over the last three weeks is the LTD's, having lost only one game of twelve played to move into first place. Led by newcomer and anchorman Dan McMillan and his 158 average, the LTD's swet the Vipers and defending champs WGAF, along with a forfeited match against Team #4. Consistent Teri Oberly continues to lead all female categories with her awesome bowling. Rumor has it she's on the trading block. How 'bout that, guys? Dave Faust, Henry Rebinski and Captain Mark DiPietro round ou the "Love To Drink" squad. As the LTD's climb, the Vipers have turned into snails, winning only one of their last Bight. You know it's getting bad when Don Nordmark strikes and calmly says, "Big deal!" No matter how the last several weeks have gone, the Vipers still must be the team to beat. The league's two top men's averages and three-game series belong to Tom Belk and Ken Wardenski. Maybe when The LTD's swept the Vipers and Stew Snyder lost his 6-pack bet with Teri Oberly by nine pins all this turmoil was created. They're still 6:5 favorites to win this term's top honors. The Fireballers, as — of this writing solidly hold third place at 18-10. These "Rookies" have made a serious im pression on the league. Watch out next term when these five bowlers have some experience under their belt. John Gregonis, Marie Vajda, Rick McGorry, Eva D'Ambrosio, and Steve Fink make up the Fireballers squad. Vegas spots this team at 10:1 longshot. The real battle is for the last spot in the playoffs. The Strikers (now known as the Bowling Stones) and the BOTA's are locked at 14-14 with four games left in the regular season. The Strikers lost three big games last week at the hands of disappointing WSDC to make the race interesting. Now for the BOTA's--the Sports Editors have heard plenty of flak about the high publicity this team receives every issue. All we have to say is tough ! Seriously, it's all in fun and we love to bathe in our glory. So cut us a break! With only one loss over the last ei: ht !ames that one due to forfeit), the It's History By Kevin Spiegel It wasn't played under the best of circumstances, since it was raining and the Hershey teams had finals to tend to, but Intramural Football came to an end, finally. The final game was played last Tuesday between the stars of the East vs. the stars of the West. It featured most of the stars of the. Nightriders vs. most of the stars of the Kamikazees. Even Holly the "Wonder Dog" was there trying to fight off interviews from the media covering the game. Our corres pondent, Bob Madigan, tried desperately for an interview, but Holly's agent refused him one (probably because Bob had no real credentials). At stake was the destination of the after-game party. The East Squad was coached by the Joe Paterno of Capitol Campus, none other than Mike Treanor. As for the West Squad, according to Guy Warrington, "Everyone here is the coach, we don't need one." (Someone talk to Guy, please!) The scoring opened with the East's Mark Furman intercepting a Greg De BOTA's have made a late surge for the playoffs. Time will tell, and by next issue the finals will have taken place and the new winners will be crowned. Watch for the results next issue! WGAF is right on the heels of fourth place, just one game below .500. These guys, the defending intramural champs, have slipped lately. Bob Sharkey leads the team as the most consistent bowler-- 299, 392, 413 series over the last three weeks. Sharkey, a 299? Oh, that's a mistake, a typographical error--it should read 499. Okay, but 94 and 85 and 120 doesn't equal 499!! Rumor has it that Tom Donnelly is either on• waivers or a free agent. Sharkey says he'll take on all offers, especially if it includes a bowling Army football goes ballet Campus Digest News Service Players on the Army football team at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point have been training with a ballet master. The training includes the rigorous exceicises ballet dancers use to keep in shape. The idea is to make football players as graceful as they are big and hefty. The proof is not in the pud ding, but in the season record. East Rides Through The Night Nunzio pass. It took QB Jerry Weiss two plays to hit Mark Wolf all alone for the score. It was 6-0 before the crowd was seated Then on the next scoring drive for the East, Jack McEntee was streaking down the sidelines and Weiss hit him in stride for six points. That touchdown was set up thanks to a bad call by the refs. Bill Carl had picked off another DeNunzio pass, but everyone saw that it was obnviously defensive pass inter ference. But referee Ed McDonald ruled that the interception was legal. If he would have looked at the videotapes, he would have seen that a mistake was made on his part. Sources close to the C.C. Reader• have informed me that an apparent "pay-off" took place. Federal officials are now investigating the McDonald vs. the West Squad case. The West dug in and came up with the big play next. Speedster Mark Flinkbaugh galloped around right end for the West's first score. It was 14-6 after the PAT was missed. Meanwhile, for the Nightriders, or Monday, November 23, 1981 PSU VS. BAMA bag. Then there's Dean Frack. What Can be said about Dean? Um.... Finally, there are a few notes. Scott, if Kim continues to beat your scores, it may be bad for your reputation. You know what they say about low man on the totem pole! They become shoe salesmen! Corinne Blouin rolled a big 69 last week, worthy of the honorable mention award. And finally, WSDC may be in second-to-last place, but they feel they have the best bowling shirts. We surley don't know who is the judge of that. If anyone is interested in starting a new team in the Winter Term, contact Dean Frack at 944-1227. should it be the East Squad, QS Jerry Weiss was picking out his receivers at will. First it was McEntee for 15 yards, then Furman for ten, and finally his roomie, Dan Mignqgna, for a 15-yard touchdown pass and it was 20-6. And once again, as the saying goes, "It was lights out, good night Irene," for the West Squad. But the East still had some fun in the game. They received the second half kickoff and Mignogna headed for the left sidelines. Then he pitched off to McEntee, who had eternity in front of him. Like an oncoming tiger, a defender named Clarence Hardoway made the defensive play of the game. While McEntee had visions of hero, stardom, and MVP honors, Hardoway was ap proaching quickly. He dove and pre vented Jack from any further move ment. A good gain none the less for the East, but a sensational stop by Hardo way. Yet another drive was unleashed by QB Weiss. He was baffling his opponents with quick pitches and quick openers to Middletown lines WEDNESDAY- Campus League Nite Ball drilling services, Bags, Shoes and Accessories from page 12 ine 31-16 trouncing enabled 68-year old Coach Bear Bryant to pull even with Amos Alonzo Stagg with 314 career victories during his 37 years of coaching. Bear doesn't call many plays anymore, those chores are handled capably by his 14 assistants. Coach Bryant has a week's rest to plan a strategy for the Auburn contest that could set the record. ABC cameras will be in Birmingham for a play-by-play description of the game for the national coverage of number 315. Well, it's forgive and forget time as the tail end of the schedule rolls around. Saturday, the Fighting Irish from Notre Dame visit "Joe's Erector Set" in Happy Valley. Penn State needs to regroup quickly to begin to prepare for the rolling Irish squad from South Bend. The early line gives the Lions a three point edge, but some bookies and Vegas oddsmakers have ballooned the spread to seven. In order to go to 8-2, the defense must improve its pass coverage. The 190 yards Bama had through the air must be significantly reduced this Sat urday. If that passing yardage increases, Pitt quarterback Dan Marino will make the Lion defense look like Swiss cheese. A win would solidify a bowl bid (probab ly the Fiesta again, this time versus USC) but a loss would nearly ruin an early 6-0 season and number one ranking. his receivers. Coach Treanor was upset with his team (because they were telling dirty jokes in the huddle) and rushed onto the field. Referee Tony Beccone slapped the first-ever five-minute major bench technical foul. Treanor deserved it nevertheless. Weiss finished off the scoring by hitting another one of his roommates, Mark Wolf, for a 23-yard touchdown. Wolf made an excellent sliding catch to end an MVP performance by Weiss. The West tried to come back and on the final play of the game, Guy Warring ton caught a Jeff Nicklaus pass for the final score. So Jerry Weiss receives the MVP award for his 10-16 passing, four td's, and "mucho" yards. He wins four tickets to see highlights of the Penn State-Ala bama goalline stances of yesteryear. As for the defensive MVP, Clarence Hardo way was chosen by my sidekick, Bob Madigan. Madigan described Hardoway's play as awesome, and label ed him quicker than light. The final score, in the final flag football game, was the East 26, the West 13. Page 11 941-9991
