,A$ ~ liii. .. L1::!!'" Lions to be in Sugar Bowl The regular season is over for the Nittany Lions and, probably, so is my writing career. I mean, who wants to write about intramural volleyball after he has covered the most glamorous sport in the country. I guess I'm pretty spoiled. The Lions are in the Sugar Bowl, a former New Year's Day festival now relegated to New Year's Eve due to network conflicts. In the past, the Sugar Bowl has lacked the charm of its TV rival the Cotton Bowl. So ABC, the network that covers it, has decided on New Year's Eve to avoid conflict with the other networks. This is liable to hurt them because any normal football fan is used to watching two or maybe three games at Volleyball Team Captures Trophy On November 18, a team from Highacres competed in a volleyball tournament in Scranton. After practicing for only a few days, the girls went to the tournament with all the odds against them; however, they emerged as victors, placing third in the competition, and receiving a beautiful trophy. Eight teams from the various Penn State Campuses presented tough competition to our team, but the girls worked together and won. In order to win, a team had to win two out of three games against their opponent. The final series went into the final game, and it was very close; however, the girls kept their cool and won, thus giving them a third place finish. The only losses that the Highacres team had pinned on them were from the number one and two teams, York and Scranton respectively. The volleyball team, coached by Mrs. Deidre Jago, consisted of seven girls: Susie Andes, Sandi Gross, Debbie Snyder, Vicki Merlough, Linda Bassett, Captain Mary Alice Greene and Mary Angie HEADQUARTERS for • Butterfly Table Tennis Paddles • Ski Accessories • Two-piece cues s Skates GEMARDIEE9 124 North Wyoming Street Hazleton by jon gross one time on any given Sunday. What normal , -.ollege-type person would, in his or her right mind, watch football on New Year's Eve? Not I, hopefully, nor do the majority of fans in this country. I am sure ther would be a few hermits in Butte, Montana who will forgo their Guy Lombardo for a few hours of bone crunching football. Bone-crunching? Yes, as Penn State will be facing a Mardi Gras of talent in New Orleans. Oklahoma, after beating Nebraska in a rematch of the game of the century, looks to be sky-high. With Greg Pruitt flying that figures to be a lot of elevation. Although I maybe tarred and feathered for this, I figure that Oklahoma will pound the Lions so hard they will need by Mary Angie DeLazio DeLazio. These girls practiced hard and fought all the way to their third dace finish. Mrs. Jago and her team were determined to bring a trophy home with them, and that they did! Congratulations to Mrs. Jago and her team for a job well done! ** * * Sorry Carole Although the girls' volleyball team won third place in the inter-campus tournament, one member was unable to attend. Carole Shenosky was sticken with an "organic disturbance," which she later termed "a Polish virus." Sorry you missed it Carole, better luck next year. 1 1 401 1 4 CRAFT HEADQUARTERS FOR MACRAME, CANDLES, BEADING, STYROFOAM 128 N.

Against Boston College, Penn State was cau: t in a battle that was won by the Lions 45-26. This game was the one that PSU should've won in a laugher byt with Boston College driving for the go ahead TD in the third quarter, noone was chuckling. PSU stopped them and went on to win. Against lowly Pitt the Nittany Lions, a relatively small crowd watched them slug out a 45-27 win. Hufnagel has been playing well and optimistic fans are thinking Heisman. A Sugar Bowl win will do it although I think the winner as announced before the game. Well, if you want tickets write: Sugar Bowl Tickets Ticket Office Rec.
