PAGE SIX 15 0 Ib'g korner 1, ~~~~~ Last Day And Paterno's Law By BON KOLB Assistant Sports Editor, It had been a long five weeks. Of conditioning. Of sweating under the spring sun. Of learning the intricacies of football. Of fighting for positions. And of working, straining, to evolve into a co hesive gridiron unit. Yesterday marked the end of that five-week grind, or at least the official termination of spring drills per se. Tomorrow at 2 p.m. in Beaver Sta dium, the Blue-White infra-squad scrimmage will give the farts a. chance to witness what has evolved. It was overcast and the clouds were threaten ing on the ice pavilion field yesterday afternoon. The field was soggy, and the mud stuck to the cleats 'of the players. However, linebacker coach Dan Radakovich as sured everyone that things were well in hands. - "It's Pat er n o's Law," he said as he glanced skyward. "It never rains at practice. We'll be all right." If it weren't for the field conditions, things would have been fine. The four quarterbacks we r e having trouble setting their feet as they raced into the pocket for a KOLB pass. Mike Cooper, who is battling for the second string spot, cut back, slipped and fell on his back. "C'mon, Mike. Time's running." Jim Colbert. another OS hopeful, Joked as backfield coach George Welsh smiled and looked at his stopwatch. He had been timing each candidate to see how fast the ball was released. "Let-me try that one again," Cooper said as he wiped the mud from his pants. He ran back and almost fell again. A scout for the NFL Dallas Cowboys paced the sidelines. He said he was there to check out the senior possibilities for pro ball, and he paused to ask the names of the players as they trotted on the field. Howevei, hardly anyone was aware of his presence. It was the last day. That was the important thing. "This is it, number 19," offensive line coach Joe McMullen yelled as he ran onto the field. Eighteen practice sessions had preceded this one. Just one remained. "It's the last one," Toe Paterno screamed as he blew the whistle to begin the final drills. "Let's have a good one, fellas. No tears, no tears." There were none. The head coach moved from one area to an other, criticizing and praising. "Hah, the backs are finally looking like something," he said. "Waited for the last day, huh? C'mon. If you guys don't work today, rll be miserable all summer." It's- true, things were spirited and rather casual. But even on the last day, the activity was businesslike. Paterno at one point admonished the defensive .backs that anyone who failed to stay with his man would run one lap. "I don't care if it takes until-midnight to complete them," he said. A little over an hour into the practice, the coach called a Coke break. The squad spread out on the benches and listened as Paterno got out a mimeographed sheet of paper. He went down a list of 38 names and said, "Okay, that's the Blue squad. The rest are White. Split up and start prac ticing." Simultaneously, the two squads shouted threats and self-praises. Ted Kwalick shook hands with John Kulka. Kulka greeted Dave Bradley. Bradley saluted Mike Reid. The Whites whooped and hollered, claiming victory 24 hours before the fact. Paterno walked over to the more resigned Blue squad and shouted, "Hey, Blue. Those guys over there have more enthusiasm, they're better organized, they . . ." His voice was drowned out by negative retorts and yells of "We're not going to lose this year." Then the coach went over to the Blues and told them, "I'm not impressed at all." After a few moments, he quipped, "What are you going to do, spend the whole practice cheering each other up?" It was the familiar give and take of friendly competition. And yet it seemed a little more. Pride is probably the best way to describe the entire situation. That's what's on the line at the stadium tomorrow. - 4; A funny thing happened as the two squads split up for separate practices. The clouds disap : peared. For the first time in six days, the sun came ,s; out. It was as if Joe Paterno, having chosen his 3 : warring charges, pointed to the heavens and stern ly ordered, "Sun, appear." But then, I guess it's just part of Paterno's Law.

Dancer's Image was made part of a 10-horse field for the 1.3/16-mile classic at Pimlico tomorrow by Fuller after he conferred by telephone with Cavalaris, who is staying at a motel near the track. "What we did this morning was what Lou instructed," Fuller said in regard to Dancer's Image's two-mile gallop. "What we do tomorrow will be what he instructs.", Cavalaros,and his assistant, Robert Barnard, were sus , pended and barred from any race track through June 13 by Churchill Downs stewards late Wednesday night. The action resulted from a trace of an illegal medica tion found in a urine specimen from Dancer's Image after k the May 4 Derby.. Forward Pass the Winner The stewards also officially- disqualified Dancer's Image from first to last, making second-place finisher Forward Pass the Derby winner. This means Forward Pass, owned by Calumet Farms and entered in the Preakness, will get a chance to move a step closer to becoming the first triple crown winner since Citation in 1948. Post time for the Preakness is 5:30 p.m., and on radio, 5:20-5:40 p.m. If all 10 3-year-olds go postward, the gross purse will be $195,200, with $142,700 to the winner. The current purse record-for a triple crown race is $194,000 ' for the 1967 Preakness. "If it wasn't for Lou, I don't think the horse would be running, to be frank with you," Fuller said.

Like football, the game goes on—come downpour, snowdrift, or minus-17 degrees. It makes things a little uncomfortable, though. In Penn State's overtime tie with Cortland State last Saturday, they could have roped off lanes on the field and played water polo. They didn't, of course, although flotation jackets should have been issued in place of pads. Same for Both It all makes for a muddy show, but both teams play under the same conditions, thus negating any excuses for a poor showing. Lion coach Dick Pencek, however, feels that the offense has the advantage over the de fense on a soggy • field, and thus the high scoring team should predominate. "I think the attack has a small advan tage," Pencek said. "They initiate the action and know where they're going 'all the time. An attackman can make a move and easily leave_the defenseman a half-step behind." Problems, too But that's not to say that a high-scoring game will be the rule. The attackmen have their problems, too. Ken Edwards, Penn States' most prolific scorer this season, out maneuvered the Cortland defense for three goals and two assists last Saturday, but still had a few complaints. "You have to adjust when the field is wet," he "You have to play a ball-con trol type of offense. That means more pass ing and a slower game. An attackman can't dodge and try to lose his man as much as he LEFT Doug McArthur END , Soph., 6-2, 225 HERO Pete Johnson Soph., 6-2, 211 One Fencing Delaware Could_ 'Upset . Lion Golfers Home; Face Weak Orange It's back to the dual meet trail for Penn State's golf team after a one-week effort at tournament play which featured the unsuccessful defense of two championships. Tomorrow at 1 p.m., the Lions will try to regain their win ning form as they take on Syracuse on the Penn State course. "They offer no threat," said Joe Boyle, the optimistic . Lion coach. This statement is not without reason, since Syracuse finished last in the Eastern tournament with an average player score of 16 over par per round. Ted Till is the outstanding player for the Orange, but it takes at least four to win a match, and Syracuse doesn't have the depth. Playoffs will determine the State lineup for tcimorrow'i match. Sure to be included among the starters is Frank Guise who shot a one-under-par 71 to take medalist honors at the Indiana Invitational Wednesay.' Other probable starters are captain Jim Geiger, junior ace Torn Apple, Rusty Washburn. the best finisher among the Lions in the Easterns, Ernie Saniga and Bob Hibsch-. man. - The best individual record is . Apple's 8-1 mark. The rest of the State regulars are either at 7-2 or 6-3. With that depth the Lions should have little trouble putting together a winning combination. Tomorrow's match is the end of the season for Syra cuse while the Lions, 7-2 have two more dual' Meets before putting away the clubs for another year. One week from tomorrow, the Arm linksmen will visit University Park, with the Lions closing their season at Pittsburgh May 31.

The offense-superiority theory may get a second testing tomorrow afternoon at Delaware. With all the rain the East coast has received in the past week, the Lions could be body checking in another lacrosse paddy. Whatever the weather, not all the gasps will be for Edward's showmanship or Bob Schoepflin's clutch shooting. The Blue Hens have a productive offense led by All-Ameri can Larry Wise, who will go head-to-head with State defensive ace Gary Patterson, a 5-11 junior from Thomasville. For a team that is only beginning to go big time in lacrosse, Delaware hasn't had a bad season. The Blue Hens have won five of their 10 games to date, absorbing a few close defeats on the way. They are definitely not in the same class as Maryland, Syracuse, or Rutgers, three earlier State oponents, but Pencek expects his men to work up a good sweat. Small But Scrappy . "None of the games are easy," Pencek said. "If you let up, you're going to get beaten. Delaware is a scrappy outfit. They've played some very good games this year." The Lions, meanwhile, will be in perfect physical shape. The most famous of the walk ing wounded, Edwards, has a sound knee again and will be ready for some Bob Cousy type shooting' and passing. Galen Godbey and his 6-5, 220-pound frame will,no longer decorate the Lions bench as much as it did in the past. The towering basketballer has been promoted to second midfield, with Steve Henderson taking over command of the third squad of middies.
