LaXers Slosh
To Overtime Tie
By STEVE SOLOMON
Collegian Sports Writer
They looked strangely different when they trudged
heavy-footed back to the locker room after battling each
other, and nature, to a 9-9 draw.
Their shirts were stained a' dark blue and their legs
were coated with layers of mud that never had a chance
to dry and crack and drop off in small pieces. Tired arms
reached to their foreheads to divert twisting rivulets of
water which entered their eyes and made seeing difficult.
It had been a picture of futility, this floating lacrosse
game. For Cortland State. it was an inability to break open
a game when it held a four-goal advantage: for Penn State,
four comebacks without gaining the lead; for both, double
overtime without finding a winner.
Lion attackman Ken Edwards limped toward the
bench. "I'm just real proud of the way we played," he said.
But the speaker's face was expressionless.
It had been a grueling battle. Those far from the
action could not see the dull stupor of exhaustio , . in the

players' eyes or hear the heavy breathing of those kneeling
on one knee at the sidelines. The fatigue could not be seen
in the running or contact either, although it became ap
parent later when easy passes went errant and point
blank shots flew wide or high.
Penn State trailed 8-4 mid-way through the third
period and 9-6 when the gun sounded. The 50-odd fans in
overcoats and black umbrellas had a good excuse to head
for their cars. None of them made it. Bob Schoepflin
pumped in a goal 83 seconds into the last quarter and Dave
Schock followed with another two minutes later.
Then, suddenly, dramatically, came the big play, the
kind that earn Willie Mays and Carl Yastrzemski and
Mickey Mantle $lOO,OOO a year. Schoepflin, eight yards
out on the left side, whizzed a shot past the Cortland
goalie. and the score was knotted at 9-9.
The Penn State bench exploded. Twenty muddy shirts
surrounded the 5-7 sharpshooter and began hoisting him
into the air before they remembered that there were still
10 minutes left in the game.
Thirty feet away Cortland State coach Fred Pisano,
an assistant to Lion coach Dick Pencek in 1962, said a few
words to his players and sent them back onto the field.
Their heads were bowed. but it wasn't because of the rain
which was steadily growing heavier.
The clock resumed its inexorable countdown, but in
stead of dragging, the action intensified. Body checks be
came more crushing and 200-pound defensemen sent the
lighter. faster attackmen who could no longer dodge and
keep their footing sprawling into the mire.
Dick Pencek walked to the scorer's table to check the
time. Three minutes. "My God, if this goes into
overtime . . ."
And Then It Happened
The gun went off. Twenty players trudged to the side
lines. Pencek. water streaming into his eyes, and Pisano,
shaking his head sadly, huddled with their teams. Nothing
earth-shattering was said. Both teams moments earlier had
sent a pair of shots screaming off the goalposts, inches from
the hallowed mud under the nets.
Two five-minute overtime periods, the head referee
said, Pencek went to the bench and grabbed a towel that
might have been used to clean up the Johnstown flood. He
wiped his balding head and then threw the rag to Pisano,
who smiled understandingly.
Play started again. Cortland midfielder Stan Kowalski
snared a Penn State pass and turned on goalie Jim Mc-
Guone. He faked, then shot, but not quite so hard or ac
curately as earlier. McGuone caught it in his stick. Kowal
ski, who had scored on five more difficult shots during
regulation time, trotted downfield a little tired and shaken.
They traded fast breaks and missed shots for 10
minutes and then it was over. Tied. 9-9.
Pencek smiled and congratulated his players. Someone
offered him an umbrella. "Thanks." he said, "but I'm
about as wet now as I can possibly get."
Still on the field, Ken Edwards was examining the
back of his knee. Three hours earlier, swollen and throb
bing, it has been shot with pain killers and taped so he
could give it a try in the game.
Pencek. thinking of a certain three goals and two
assists, trotted out to say a few words to his sophomore
star.
Then they walked off, Edwards a bit slower

Lion Games Cancelled
Penn State's baseball team had another bout with the
weather Saturday and the elements, as always, proved
superior.
A scheduled doubleheader with George Washington
University was rained out, denying the Lions a chance to
improve their 7-9 season record. The games will not be
re-scheduled.
The next action for State will be Wednesday when
Mansfield State visits for a scheduled doubleheader. Since
university rules prevent any weekday athletic event from
starting before 3:RO p.m. the two games will be limited to
seven innings each.
The games against Mansfield could be very important
for the Lions if they expect to survive the season with a
winning record. After Wednesday only five games remain
—double headers with Maryland and Pitt and a single
contest with Navy. All three clubs are enjoying success
ful seasons and will provide stiff competition.
State has been in a slump all season, culminating with
its current four-game losing streak.
The week layoff since last
will give Lion coach Chuck M ,
and it may help his hurlers.
