SEATTLE (A') Baseball's one-year experi

on papers changing the Seattle Pilots into the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Volinn approved sale of the American League
team to Milwaukee Tuesday night. The price tag was
$lO.B million.
The only question left after Volinn announced his
decision to approve the sale was when he would sign
the order. Wallace Aiken, attorney for Pacific
Northwest Sports, Inc., the Pilots' owner, asked for
an early morning signing because the closing time on
the sale was 11 a.m.
However, attorney Elwin Zarwell, the Brewers'
representative, said Volinn's decision made the sale
final so far as the Brewers were concerned.

La er Coach Pencek:
kmyone for Tennis?'
By WARREN PATTON
Collegian Sports Writer
When the weatherman decided to extend the winter season
without prior notice, he did more than to help make Route 322
an elongated parking lot. He helped in changing the physical
makeup of lacrosse by banishing the practice sessions from
the soft green grass of the fields in deference to the hard
black top of the tennis courts.
And considering the speed with which the snow is dissolv
ing itself off the good earth, lacrosse may have a better
chance of being played in Rec Hall or on University Drive for
this season.
Since the Lion LaXers haven't been getting the full benefit
of university facilities, their tuning up for the coming season
has been somewhat hampered.
"We need practice on a field, not on macadam," said
coach Dick Pencek. "I went down on that field and the best
thing I could say about it was that it was unbearable. The pro
blem is that we're so darned young a team that we need the
full practice field to prepare for the season."
In terms of experience, this year's• team is still in the first
stages of infancy. When the Lions open the year sometime in
the distant future, there are definite possibilities of having up-

wards of seven or more men taking their respective varsity
positions for the first time, at Penn State.
As it stands now, sophomores Chris Alex. Rick Smedley
and Al Neffgen will man the attack, and Bill Cappell and
Barry Farrell will start on defense.
Don Stone was switched from defense to goal, but the big
gest change will be the transplanting of All-American attack
Ken Edwards from his former position of attack to the mid
field.
Two years ago, Edwards scored 33 goals and assisted on
45 others to be among the nation's leading scorers in lacrosse.
An off-season knee injury forced him into being a reluctant
spectator last year so this season is a test for him to prove
himself again to the train. And, unfortunately, he failed the
first part of it last weekend.
"I was physically forced to the midfield because my leg

much of a change. I'll learn cer

about 80 per cent."
Juniors Dave McKeever and
Lance Silver has been termed by
Pencek as having "that nasty
instinct," a must for 20-year-old
midfielders who weigh 200
pounds or more.
Silver is also stout, not to
mention a good scorer. Look for

PENCEK
One big plus for this year's young squad is the size. This
Year, there are 40 bodies out learning the finer arts of contact,
a far cry from the 17 of a year ago. If anyone gets hurt, there
is the possibility of a replacement coming from the bench.
Last year if anyone received a death blow, Pencek would
cast Shanghai eyes at any large, vibrant spectators for
recruitment.
This year's chances for success will he in doubt until the
opening clobber. Last year's team was to be perhaps the
greatest in the school's history, but injuries turned it into an
also-ran. And some of the best of that squad in the forms of
Bob Schoepflin. Gerry Curtin and Jim McGuone have gone the
way of all Penn State seniors. So this season is one big
uneducated guess.
"It could be a good year if the sophomores really
develop," Pencek summarized. "They'll have to carry about
90 per cent offensively. The problem is that it's a tough bur
den to put on young kids."
Some of those young kids may come through as the at
tackmen are a highly touted unit. They'll all have to check,
score, run, pass, count tickets, pray for rain against Maryland
and other national powers. Their young recklessness, though,
could make it an exciting season.
"We'll give you same good ballgames," Pencek advertis
ed.
