Lost in the crowd at Saturday’s Penn State-Rutgers
basketball-game was football coach Joe Patemo, several
assistants, and some talented high school football'players.
Although it may not seem like football season to some of us,
this is a cnjcial time of the year for'
Paterno. More games are won or lost' in "
March than any other time of the year.
An old coaching axiom states “you can't
win without' the horses,” and ev.en
Paterno, the nation’s winningest 'coach,
subscribes to the theory.
Penn State can invite scholastic stars
and their parents to the campus twice
during the recruiting period. It exposes
prospects to advice from academic
people, movies of Penn State football
games, a pep talk from Paterno, a Penn
State winter sports event, and a fraternity party.
■ The basketball team helped Paterno’s cause by coming
through with a win over Rutgers ...
Swimming coach Lou McNeill was out of town over the
weekend which meant he didn’t get to see the high school
state championships that were held at the Natatorium.
McNeill was helping the Lion swimmers place third in the
Big Four Meet at Pittsburgh while the scholastic swimmers
were breaking records, and watering coaches’ mouths, in the
Natatorium.
John Piatt won the 200-yard individual medley and the 200-
yard butterfly for Penn State, which also received a second
from Lane Schuckers in the 1000-yard freestyle, a second from
John Iskat in three-meter diving, and.a 'third from Tom
Watson in the one-meter diving. -iy.
Now, if only some of those high school phenoms could fall in

Penn State’s gymnastics team wasn’t in action over the
weekend but it should have received the Congressional Medal
of Honor for competing against Pitt last Wednesday night in
Pittsburgh. ' 1
-The gymnasts usually compete to organ music-at Rec Hall
which complements the mood of the sport perfectly. At Pitt
they were greeted by hard rock music.
Normally accustomed, to competing before large crowds,
the gymnasts performed to a gathering of about 200 Pitt fans.
As Glenn Sheeley once said, “I’ve seen bigger crowds in the
men’s room.” , •’
Pitt’s gym program isn’t quite up to snuff these days and its
miserable score of 101 points didn’t extend Penn State’s third
string reserves in the slightest.
It wasn’t long ago that the wrestling team went through an
easy dual-meet schedule and abruptly finished second in the
Easterns. One has to wonder how the gymnasts will do in the
upcoming tournaments after waltzing through a schedule
which can only be described as “laughable.”
Penn State is an overwhelming favorite to win this week’s
Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League tournament in
Rec Hall beginning Thursday at 7 p.m. Its real test will come
at the nationals in Ames, lowa later this month.
The main pressure at the Easterns this week for Marshall
Avener, Billy Mitchell, John Crosby of Southern Connecticut,
etc. will come in the all-around.
The all-around competition will serve as a qualifying round
for the semi-final Olympic Trails and the NCAA cham
pionships so the pressure will come from several directions
for any Olympic hopefuls in the field ..

Pucksters-skate over Mohawks, 6-1;
Lions’ defense sparkles in ninth win
By BILL GUTHLEIN
Collegian Sports Writer
Defensive consistency,
including an outstanding
performance by Lenny
Capello, allowed the
Harrisburg Mohawks only
one goal while the Penn State
offense racked up six to give
the Lions a 9-4 record on
Saturday.
“It was the best defensive
game of the year,” claimed
Lion coach Larry Hendry,
“Lenny Capello played a
superb game. He was. always
on the puck, he rushed the
Mohawk plays well, you could
say he made no mistakes the
entire game.”
Capello remarked that the
defense as a unit was playing
a much stronger game.
“We’re hustling more and
we played solidly. No one was
waltzing into the goal,” he
said. .
Penn State’s domination of
the game was a result of a
strong passing game, es
pecially around the net.
“Passing has been one of
the- major improvements of
the season,” Hendry said.
The Lions’ first goal of the
Lady cagers win
Marty Looney scored 18
points yesterday leading the
Periq _ ; State , women’s
basketball team to a 66-43 win
over Millersville State.
Patti Lee threw in 10 points
and hauled down 20 rebounds
in the game while Sandy
Peters also hit for 10 points.
The Lady Lions completed
their current season with a 4-3
record.
In the preliminary contest
the women’s jayvee team
dropped one to Millersville,
42-40.

game came at :38 in the first
period when 'Jim Hodgson
broke away with the puck and
passed back to left wing Dick
Merkel for the score.
"■ The club marked again five
minutes later When defense
man Frank Dougherty
raced the length of the ice, cut
to the left of the net and
passed to center Scott Ber
tazzoni for the point.
The final goal of the stanza
came with - :2p left to play
when high scorer Dick Merkel
(16) brought the puck into the
offensive zone and came up
with an unassisted-lamp
.lighter.
The second period saw two
more Penn State goals at 6:35
and 13:54. The lions’ fourth
goal of the game came on a
two-man rush on goal.
Defenseman Lenny ■- Capello
maneuvered the puck up the
ice and then flipped it to John
Hancock who pushed it past
the Harrisburg goalie.
The fifth PSU score came
on a perfectly performed
scoring play. Scott Bertazzoni
passed the puck in front of the
net where charging right
wing Jim Graulty
backhanded into the goal.
The final period saw the
Mohawks come up with their
only point of the game when
Ralph Goodwin of Harrisburg
drew - inexperienced
goaltender Herb Brown out of
position and allowed.. Pete
May an open net goal. Penn
State came back later in the
period when Jim Graulty’s
shot from the point was tipped
into the corner of the net by
Scott Bertazzoni.
After the game Mohawk
coach Ed. Augustine, found.the
play of Frank Dougherty to be
the spark of the hockey club’s
offensive play.
The Daily Collegian Monday,-March 6, 1972-^
“If there are any game
stars, Dougherty is one- df
them. He wrote the Penn
State attacks. He brought up
the puck and he controlled the
puck during the penalty kills.
Without him we would have
done much better,”
Augustine said.
Augustine listed three
factors that contributed to the
Harrisburg defeat; the size of
the rink in the Ice Pavilion,
the absence of three powerful
skaters, and overly cautious
backchecking.
“Because all of our players
didn’t come we were forced to
juggle three lines-and work
with only two defensive pairs.
We wanted to contain the fast
breaking that lost us our first
game in Hershey. The
cautious backchecking
allowed State to score in
side,” Augustine observed.
Lion, coach Hendry’s only
.disappointment was that the.
club didn’t take more shots
on-goal.
“We were a little chippy out
there (referring to a fight that
saw third-line players John
Hancock and Dave Bechdel
ejected from the game), and

we played sloppy iji spots, but.
I wish we would have taken
more shots. All in all we are
an improving team,” Hendry
said. -
Mohawk coach Augustine
disagreed with Hendry's
observations.
“I didn’t notice, any big
improvement. Of course we
would have to play a few
more games to really tell.
State breaks and sets up its
plays in the same wayy I
noticed that one of the club’s
lines was strong, but there
was no real difference be
tween us on the others,”
Augustine said.-
Hendry summed up his
team’s ambitions after its
ninth victory. “I want to have
ten wins this year,” he said,
Penn State will host the
University of Maryland in a
two-game series this weekend
to try for his goal.
