Season' tonigfrt Booters, St. By RAY MCALLISTER Assistant Sports Editor “The Real Season” starts at 7 p.m. tonight for a pair of soccer teams out on Jeffrey Field as they open the NCAA playoffs. For one, it will also end tonight. Penn State’s gone through 10 games and St. Joseph’s through 13 just, in effect, to reach tonight’s game. Almost incidental are the facts that Penn State went 8-0-2, its first undefeated season since 1955, and that St. Joe’s went 11-2, winning the Middle Atlantic Conference title. Last year the same two teams met out in Beaver Stadium for the opener of “The Real Season.” St. Joe’s led 1-0 at halftime, a lead which appeared pretty secure at the time with the tough defense the Hawks were employing. But Chris Bahr boomed home three goals and assisted on another as the Lions won 4-1. This year both teams considered themselves stronger. St. Joe’s came in here 8-0-4 last year but, despite two losses, does in- second period when Bill Bell split the uprights on a 33-yard field goal. Then the Redskins, who maintained their one-game lead over the Dallas Cowboys in the National Conference’s Eastern Division, settled down and moved to their ninth victory in 10 games, their best record in 30 years. Linebacker Chris Han burger’s fumble recovery led to Washington’s first TD, a one-yard dash by Brown, which left the Skins down 10-7 at the half. Washington took the lead for good midway through the third quarter Sugar Bowl tickets Student Sugar Bowl ticket applications are being taken at the ticket office in Rec Hall at a price of $7.50 apiece. However, ticket manager Bud Meredith encourages deed look to be tougher. After dropping two of their first four games, the Hawks seem to have straightened them- selves out. They’ve scored 21 goals in their past nine outings, while allowing only two Not surprisingly, they’ve won nine straight. Goalie Tom Pippet is, as much as anyone, the key to St. Joe’s defense this year. He’s allowed eight goals for an 0.62 per game average and he’s come up with eight shutouts to run his career total to 24. “Actually they’ve got several men you might call “key,” Lion coach Herb Schmidt said. “(Halfback Ed) Blaney is an excellent ballplayer at midfield. He really does control it. ‘‘(Forward Mike) Finegan’s also an excellent ballplayer. There’s no question about that.” Blaney’s pulled down a truckload of honors during his career, including an Honorable Mention All- American last year, and shared the team’s MVP award with Pippet last season. “Blaney really is an out standing ballplayer,” St. Joe’s coach Jack Dunn said.

Hawks have allowed eight goals, just two in their current nine-game win streak. Goalie Tom Pippet has 24 career shutouts, eight this year. State has been tough but doesn't place emphasis on defense that St. Joe's does. OFFENSE Edge to Penn State's Bahr, Rymarczuk, Marsden, Allen, Startzell. Lubbe top threat for Hawks, Swieconek, Cirino, McGaw, Powell, Blaney others PREDICTION State has played sporadically, peaking for big ones This is a big one and Lions should penetrate tough defense infrequently but enough ESTIMATED SCORE Penn State 2, St. Joseph's 1 —RMc Joe's dash “He and (Penn State’s) Chrisie Bahr are comparable in their abilities and in what they mean to a team. “And where as you have your Andy Rymarczuk, we have (Duke) Swieconek, who is a comparable player, though maybe on just a slightly lower level.” Freshman Paul Lubbe has the Hawk scoring lead with seven goals and an assist. Swieconek (3-5), Ralph Cirino (4-3), Pat McGaw (5-1), Joe Powell (4-1), Blaney (4-0) and Finegan (2-2) follow. Bahr, by way of com parison, has netted nine goals and has seven assists. Rymarczuk (7-6), John Marsden (6-2), Rick Allen (5- 3), Ciro Baldino (2-3) and Jimmy Startzell (2-1) follow him on the Lions’ scoring list. But State’s problem of late has been putting the ball in the net and Schmidt’s been drilling his team in that area this week. This is, after all, not the ideal game for a team to go scoreless. “We’ve been working on certain areas of the game t we’ve not recently played well.” Schmidt said. “We're working in the offensive phase of the game becapse we The Daily Collegian T\pesday, November 21, 1972 haven’t been doing the things we should have been doing. “It’s a multitude of little, incidental things going on that shouldn’t have been going on.” Schmidt never did get around to revealing much in the way of his offensive strategy but it’s evident he’s not been satisfied with the Lions’ performance of late. Last time out, for instance, they were held scoreless in a tie with Pitt. “That’s part of the game,” Schmidt said. “On a given day, one goal’s difficult to get; the next, nine or 10 may be easy." Though St. Joe’s is thought of as primarily as a defensive team, it’s offense, Schmidt feels, could well be the sur prise of the game. “St. Joe’s can score,” he said. “They’ve proven that all year. They’re basically the Live, learn, and grow with a group.

This could well be the final breaking the mark of seven set in 1962 and equaled in 1970. The eleven wins overall ties home appearance of seniors Rymarczuk, Rick Allen, Gary Kline and goalie Gary Mac Math. Rymarczuk is in line for All-American honors, which would make him Penn State’s first since Per Torgerson in 1957 Half an hour after the game begins, Penn will host Drexel.
