1 Zi/CP AP TC CAPITAL TIMES AO/ C5 l U IV 1 O February 10, 1992 Redskins claim crown two weeks early Mike Givler Capital Times Staff THE NFC RECENTLY CROWNED another Super Bowl champion when the Redskins beat the Lions in the conference championship. Sure, the Skins had to play Buffalo in the actual Super Bowl, but it turned out to be another "Super Bore" as the NFC won for the eighth consecutive lime. Well, there's always the Pro Bowl to look forward to if your an AFC fan. Oh, that's right, the NFC won that game too. Maybe the AFC should think about joining the World Football League. SCOTTIE PIPPEN SAID there was no reason to panic when teammate Michael Jordan was suspended after an altercation during the Bulls six-game road trip. The Bulls lost four of the games they played on the trip out west, proving that Chicago PSH explores possible NAIA to NCAA move Mike Givler Capital Times Staff Penn State Harrisburg has been looking into the possibility of leaving the NAIA and moving into the NCAA Division 111 tanks. However, Athletic Director Duane Crider said that due to a rule change this may not be the wisest thing to do. Crider said that the NCAA is discussing a transfer rule that would require all junior college transfers (i.e. community college or commonwealth campus) to sit out one year of eligibility when they come here. Crider added that this wouldn't be a wise move for the Coach, from page 15 during spring break. While there, the team played other commonwealth campuses, as well as NCAA Division II St. Joseph's, Ind. The baseball team was almost canceled in 1990 after the team ended the season with only eight healthy players. However, last year the participation increased and the college decided to field a team. r __ Dug out DoodXes is human, especially without Jordan. If I were Scottic, I'd worry a lot if ''Da' Bulls" have to do without the services of Jordan for a stretch. SIXER HERSEY HAWKINS recently scored more points from the frcc-throw line than New Jersey's entire team. In Philadelphia's 115-94 win over the Nets, Hawkins had 12 points from the charity stripe, including four technical foul shots. The Nets were 11-22 from the line. Is it any wonder why the Nets were so thankful for the expansion teams? WHEN INDIANA BEAT DENVER 128-122, the two teams ended the game with identical statistics in four categories. Both teams had 43 field goals, 31 total fouls, 18 turnovers, and were 5-8 from college. "I don't want to propose a move that would wipe out our program," Crider said. He added that because of this rule, the college would have to play all second-year athletes which are mostly seniors. Crider said the reason for the move would be to stay in-step with the other teams in the district. Crider cited Miscricordia, Alvernia and Beaver as examples who have gone this route. Crider is still looking into the possibility of moving to the NCAA. "I am still in contact with them to sort out what future plans arc underway for the NCAA, and I will sec what is the best for our athletic program," Crider said. The team did show some signs of life last season, despite their lack of pitching and a porous defense. The first official baseball meeting will be held at 9 p.m. on Feb. 12 in the Capital Union Building (CUB). The team is still looking for players, and anyone interested in playing should attend the meeting. Anyone who can not be at the meeting should contact the rccrcation/athletic office in the CUB.

THE QUEBEC NORDIQUES' road winlcss streak recently reached 25 games. I guess they figured they'll be able to beat the Sacramento Kings’ road losing streak since there are tics in hockey. LET ME "GIV" YA A TRIVIA. Name the only player to shoot 50 percent from the field and 90 percent from the line in one year. Can you also name the only player to shoot 60 percent from the floor and 80 percent from the stripe? (HINT: The players did it in the same year for the same team.)

Don't worry, I'm sure Charles will find a way to steal the spotlight once again, possibly by punching someone in the Orlando parking lot.
