THE SPORTS SCENE
Jack E. McCutcheon
Deadline Friday; so on we
go. Sorry, but this week there
is no poetry, Pro Basket- ball.
We'll start our preview east and
work west. In the N.B.A's
Atlantic Division, where the
Knicks were to have clinched
the pennant befor Christmas,
the "new" Boston Celtics are
surging and the Knicks keep
limping into the dressing room.
As far as any Philadelphia
teams go, the 76ers are the
most respectable, So what? In
the Central Division, or bush
league, whichever you desire,
the pick from here is the team
which finishes the season,
that's all, any team that has
five players left. Baltimore is
plagued by dissension and
injuries as is Atlanta (mono,
you know). And Cleveland and
Cinncinnati just don't have the
big guns.
Strange as it sounds,
the Midwestern Division is the
exact opposite. Fielding four
strong teams or three strong
teams and Jabbar Kareem or
Kareem Abdul, whatever it is,
still scores. The only team
here which can be counted out
completely is Detroit. The loss
of Dave Bing has had
astronomical affects on the
team's attitude. On the other
level, Milwaukee's goal will be
to lose less than 16 games.
Finally, out onto the West
Coast, there just might be some
interesting happenings. From
here the Lakers are still on
top,and looking at the
standings, shows Seattle and
Golden State (San Fran) not
far behind. The only losers,
surprisingly, seem to be the
Houston (San Diego) Rockets
led by Elvin Hayes. The big-E
and Houston are supposed to
be good at Houston ever since
"he" beat U.C.L.A. Trouble is
Houston is still playing college
bull in the finals against
anyone that can make it.
simple fact is that the salaries
The ABA, as prosperous a
year as it had last year, is
feeling the pinch. The simple
fact is that the salaries
promised players were just too
much for the young league and
the only way the ABA can
survive is to merge with the
NBA. Enough said, on to
sports.
The ABA east, which is
presently running in the same
direction as last year, should
however have a different
outcome. The switch will have

fight it down to the wire,
however, with the other half of
rookie of the year honores
Charle Scott. From there, the
N.Y. Nets, not Mets, should
garner a playoff spot with the
rest of the division fighting for
4th place money.
The Western Division took
up right where it left off last
year. Utah and Indiana have
been sharing the top spot since
the season began. The teams
are basically the same as last
year's squads. The only
significant change being the
addition of All-League Jimmy
Jones to the Stars. This is
enough for me to go with Utah
to capture the division. The
rest of the pack is for back
with one bright spot being the
Memphis Pro's rookie, Johnny
Newman, the high scoring soph
from Ole Miss who signed on as
a hardship case.
The ABA should have
more impact on the sports
scene this year because of big
name rookies Gilmore,
Neuman, and the Carolina
Cougers 7 foot I Jim
M c Daniels from Western
Kentucky. In addition, the
league will be in the paper
everyday in their fight for or
against (who knows?) merger.

The Hazleton
Campus Women's Volleyball
Tournament Teams brought
home 2nd and 3rd place
victories in the first
Pennsylvania State University
Women's Intercollegiate
Volleyball Tournament. The
Tournament was held at the
Scranton Campus on Saturday,
Nov. 20, from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Team B, led by Captain
Brenda Frey, successfully
captured the 2nd place trophy.
Members of her team included:

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
- Penn State's football team has
accepted a bid to play in the
Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas,
on New Year's Day, but coach
Joe Paterno and the Nittany
Lions are more immediately
concerned with another
southern trip.
"We have accepted the
Cotton Bowl bid and we are
looking forward to playing the
winner of the Southwest
Conference championship, but
right now we are only thinking
about playing Tennessee,"
Paterno says.
The Nittany Lions, 10 - 0
so far this season, will travel to
Knoxville, Tenn., to play the
Volunteers on Dec. 4. The
game will be televised
nationally by ABC-TV.
"I've said that this team
could be the best one we've
had at Penn State and it will
get a chance to prove it against
Tennessee and a worthy
opponent in the Cotton Bowl,"
Paterno says. "If we can win
those, two games, maybe we
have a chance to be number
one."
The Lions ran their
current winning streak to 15
with their 55-18 romp over
Pittsburgh last week.
Halfback Lydell Mitchell,
who now holds three National
Collegiate Athletic Association
scoring records, led the
onslaught against the Panthers.
The Salem, N.J., senior carried
21 times for 181 yards and
three touchdowns.
He holds 12 Penn State
records plus the NCAA season
marks for touchdowns (28),
touchdowns by rushing (26)
and points (168).
"Mitchell had another
great, great day and the
defense was superb in the first
half," Paterno said after the
Pitt game.
The Lion defense, led by
linebackers Charlie Zapiec and
John Skorupan, limited Pitt to
two first downs in the first
half. The Lions led 35-0 at the
half and built their lead to 48-0
in the first three minutes of the
second half.
The 55-point total against
Pitt was only the fourth

Karen Delfine.
Team A, led by Captain
Becky Machella, easily swept
3rd place. Members of her
team included Mary Curry,
Frances Kasarda, Kathy
Seward, Martha Shaffer, and
Donna Yannuzzi.
The Tournament's first
place trophy went to Scranton
Campus, with Schuylkill
Campus placing 4th and
Ogontz Campus placing sth.
highest score of the season for
the Lions, who have been held
below 31 points in only one
game.
Mitchell is the offensive
leader with 1,484 yards rushing
in 229 carries, an average of
6.5 per attempt.
Quar.terback John
Hufnagel passed for two
touchdowns against Pitt,
hitting tight end Bob Parsons
with a 52-yard strike and
connecting with split end
Chuck Herd on a play that
covered 49 yards.
Hufnagel has completed
62.6 per cent of his passes with
67 completions in 107
attempts for 965 yards and
nine touchdowns. He has been
intercepted four times.
Parsons, the 6-4,
235-pound tight end, is the
team's leading receiver with 24
catches for 420 yards and five
touchdowns. Mitchell is second
with 12 receptions for 121
yards.
This year's team has
broken nearly all of the school
offensive records. The Lions
are averaging 44.3 points and
463 yards total offense per
game.
Almost overlooked in the
offensive onslaught has been
the defensive performance. The
Lions are among the national
leaders in rushing defense and
defense against scoring.
The Lions have tied the
season record for interceptions
in one season (26) and have
allowed only two touchdowns
on the ground.
