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

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.

a putty knife to scrape them off
the Astro-Turf. Final score
35-17. I hath spoken.
Penn State wound up its
10-1 season with wins over
Boston College and Pittsburgh.
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
