you know it. it's 3 p.m. and you are still playing. "Endur
ance is the big thing as compared to wrestling wheae you
blow everything in eight minutes. In tennis the player has
to conserve himself for the rest of the match."
Tom might have broken into Koll's wrestling lineup
this year had he not run into Dana Balum. Don Stone and
Bar ry Snyder. One consolation for Wright was a victory he
ca pt ure d at Navy's plebe tournament.
"As a freshman I didn't know hbw to handle the train
ing for both sports," he said. "I stopped running in the
morning and it really messed up my wrestling season.
Coach Koll could never figure• out why I was never in
shape. This year I stopped practicing tennis and started
running again during wrestling season."
Wright sports a 10-2 individual record on a Cathrall
squad that has seen more wins (II) than any Penn State
tennis team in the last 60 years. Cathrall considers Tom as
having one of the better serves on the team.
'My serve is pretty good when I get it in,' said Wright.
"I'd say the strongest part of my game is the passing shot
where you hit past the opponent near the net.
"The weakest part of my game is volleying at the net."
he said. "I hurt my shoulder wrestling this year and that
gives me problems sometimes on my serve and overhand
shots."
Toni fails to run into any !Tat problems holding down
a pair of sports at Penn State. In fact, he even says it helps
him budget time all that much better.
The only problem he might run into would be if he
tries to break a tied set with a takedown. Sorry, Wright.
Wrong sport.

Women's liberation:
An athletic comedy
By TERRY NAU
Collegian Sports Editor
Now that women's liberation
is imminent, sports writers
throughout the county are lean
ing over their typ6vriters,
dreaming up new cliches with
which to fill their sports pages
once girls invade the last bastion
of male supremacy.
After consultation among the
fouler-minded sports writers at
The Daily Collegian, a list of
clean jokes about women jocks
(sic) was compiled. Betty Fried
an: look out!
Football jokes: "There would
be more holding penalties," said
former sports editor. Dan Dono
van, a well-known male suprem
ist.
"I guess there would -be a
Jot of piling on too," he added.
"And the quarterbacks would
never be able to make up their
minds in the huddle. There would
be plenty of audibles called at
the line of scrimmage."
Another pundit decided the
huddles would turn into gossip
sessions and delay of the game
would become a frequent. call by
the officials.
Female running backs would
be well-known for their hip
fakes. Football coaches would
talk about "an upcoming crop of
sophomorettes." Female defen
sive ends would never tackle the
cute guys on the other team.
The number 69 would be banned.
Each girl would make certain
her uniform wasn't the same

style as that of her teammates.
Instead of awarding a Heisman
trophy at the end of the season,
the Friedan Cup would be issued.
The locker rooms would have
shower stalls and each male
player would be issued a set' of
blinkers. Inquiring sports writers
would never take notes in the
locker room.
"The closest girl to
the gridiron should
always be the
cheerleader" an
eminent male
chauvinist
Baseball would also undergo
some radical changes. Thdre
would be no such thing as a bull
pen. Cowpen might be more like
it. The girls would sit around
and.knit while waiting their turn
at bat. They would frown upon
tobacco chewing in the dugout
by male players. Infield flies
would he few and far between
on an all-girls team.
Instead of letting the umpire
dust the plate, the girls would
wash it. Television closeups
would test the makeup compact
of any female player. Periodi
cally, each team would be short
of female players.
In golf, because girls need an
energy pickup, they would carry
Ryun who just finished his
first tough race since he quit
track two years ago, said he
was "encouraged" by his per
formance. "It was only a year
and two days ago that I begun
running again so that's not too
bad progress. Naturally I
would have been more pleased
if it was me in front at the
tape. It was such a great and
fast race that I can't be un
happy."
During the first lap Joe
Savage, an 18-year-old Man
hattan freshman, set the pace
while Ryun and Liguori stayed
in the rear of the pack. The
time for the first quarter was

The hook shot could only be
taken by hookers.
Tennis players would find out
what love really means.
Newspaper headlines, could
never say "Lions score" without
hinting at a double meaning.
Sports writers wouldn't he able
to say a team charged out onto
the field. Pranced would he more

Obviously, the puns and dotible
meanings could 'go on and on.
Fortunately, for the reader, the
time has arrived to end this non
sense. Women, however,
draw a deeper meaning from
this column. If they enter men's
collegiate sports competition,
they may fall prey to some poor
punsters.
Maybe it would he best to let
the situation stand as it is. The

After the first.' turn Liguori

yards to knock that speed
Ryun has," said Liguori's
coach, Jumbo Jim Elliot.
"We wanted to go out with
500 yards left. But when the
pace got slow we had to take
him out with 600 yards to go.
I knew after the first slow

little closer Liguori would dig
in a little harder.
Coming down the stretch it
appeared as if Ryun would
catch the Villanovan but
Liguori broke the tape just
ahead of the world's record
holder.
"At the middle of the curve
Ryun was coming." said Bob
Timmins, Ryun's coach at
Kansas. "It looked like he
would make it at the break of
the turn. But Marty picked it
up and held on to it.
"I think this time it was
under fair circumstances for
both of us," Liguori said after
noting that his previous two
victories over Ryun were con
sidered "tainted" by most
track fans.
"I was glad it took place in
the East and generated so
much excitement.' he added.
Now Liguori can claim his
title as "best miler" and not
have to worry about those who
said he couldn't beat a deter
mined Ryun. Now he only has
to worry about facing Ryun
again.
The brash Liguori probably
won't 1% orry too much about
that.
