Tourneys put on nicely
By RAY McALLISTER
Collegian Sports Editor
Though not too many cared enough to show up for them,
Penn State's first extravaganzas of the term were staged
this past weekend and staged fairly successfully, at that.
The USGF, without the benefit of tradition or any other
guidelines from the past, put on the inaugural "Cham
pionship of the USA" gym meet, while the EIGA coun
tered with the 39th Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Cham
pionships.
As expected, a couple of local boys made good, un
doubtedly saving the attendance counts at each tourney
from total disaster. And the people who came saw what
they had come to see: Penn State's Marshall Avener
running away with the gym honors and Penn State's Dan
O'Neill driving away with the golf honors.
Some of the problems of putting on any initial tourney
were evident in the USGF meet, which could pull in only
4500 for the three sessions. The absence of Stanford's
Steve Hug, who tied Avener for the all-around title at the
NCAAs two weeks ago, surely hurt, as perhaps did the
four-region format, which didn't - lead to much in the way
of competitions.
The East handily won the competition, the Mideast
handily finished second, the Midwest handily finished
third and the West handily finished fourth nearly as
had been predicted suggesting there might be a direct
correlation between the quality of gymnastics and the
distance from the Atlantic Ocean. At any rate, the
regional teams weren't given that much consideration by
anyone, anyway.
"It sounds like a good idea," Southern Connecticut
coach Abe Grossfeld, who headed the East squad. But
Grossfeld added that a number of gymnasts wanted their
own coaches along and so team unity necessarily was
hurt. And if an individual did well, said Grossfeld, he
likely would not be too concerned with how his team
fared.
"There's no regional pride," lowa State's Bob Roth
said. "We (Roth and three of his Cyclone teammates on
the Midwest squad) just went out as a team."
There was also an attempt made at a little national
patriotism, too, as the meet was designed to give the U.S.
program the proverbial shot in the arm. Placed on each

"We're open when you need us:"
scoreboard, "Make America proud" was the theme,
which seemed a little strong when combined with a
patriotism poem recited at the finale and the fact that
several international events, notably the Olympics,
currently are under attack for a little too much political
fervor.
Twenty-four performers competing in each of six
events bogged down the first two sessions so much so that
one local writer left Friday night's routines to read back
copies of La Vie and another left Saturday afternoon's to
watch the ABA playoff game.
But the idea behind the "Championship of the USA"
remains a good one. Bringing together the country's top
gymnasts eventually will draw more, both as the
organization of the meet gains guidelines from which to
work and as the meet itself gains additional prestige.
As for the EIGA tourney, it started out as if it were in
severe trouble, mostly due to the bad weather Saturday.
But Sunday the sun came out and so did the fans, at least
300 of them, anyway, a figure which undoubtedly is a Blue
Course record even if it does not threaten existing PGA
standards.
O'Neill, as had Avener, had been responsible for pulling
out most of the fans and well over 100 followed him as he
walked off with his second straight title by besting 104
others. There would have been 107 in the tourney, but
Georgetown's two-man team showed up without any
official representative of its university and was forced to
pull out of the tourney without having even cracked the
cellophane on a new pack of Titleists.
As for Penn State's two near-superstars, each was not
without flaw. Avener, having taking the all-around and
two individual titles, stepped up on the award stand once
more than he should have. When teammate Jim Culhane
was announced as one of the four selected to face the
Chinese team later this month, it was Avener who
bounced up to receive the applause. Sheepishly, he
retreated, leaving one foot on the stand until his name
was called.
And O'Neill, having sunk the winning putt fr on 18, picked
up the ball and smiled to the gallery. That was fine, but
the photographers all were left with cameras poised and
facing O'Neill's back.
Hopefully, Avener and O'Neill will learn

Lions split Owls,
By RICK STARR
Assistant Sports Editor
The Penn State baseball team hosted some pretty im
portant guests over the weekend. Delaware, the western
champ in the Middle Atlantic Conference, was entertained
Friday by Mitch Lukevic's one-hitter as the Lions posted an
8-0 shutout.
Then yesterday, the Temple Owls dropped by for a
doubleheader and they were treated to a split in a couple of
tight, exciting games. Temple is the MAC eastern champ.
Actually, the Lions weren't very gracious to Delaware as
the Blue Hens were given a cold shoulder by the Lion bats
and the 40 degree weather. Penn State came up with eight
hits to go along with the six walks they were given by
Delaware pitching. But the way Lukevics (4-1) was pitching,
one run would have been enough.
The Blue Hen's only hit of the afternoon was a single by
Jeff Marttila.
"Fastballs were my big pitches," Lukevics said. "They
were moving real well. And I was hitting the corners for the
first time this year."
Brian Masella (3-1) went the distance for Penn State in
yesterday's first game with Temple. He was touched up for
two runs in the third on a double by third baseman Mark
Lechner, and one run in the fifth.
In that fifth inning, Masella, after commiting an error, took
out his revenge on Owl shortstop Bob Weikinger. Weikinger
was caught rounding third a little too liberally and eventually
tagged out in a run down by Masella. However, the big left
hander got a little carried away with the tag and was given
an unassisted tackle and as well as an assist on the play.
But Penn State couldn't crack Owl pitcher Gene DeStefano
and finally dropped the game 3-1.

with Sixes
RICHMOND, Va. (AP)
Allan Bristow, Virginia
Tech's 6-foot-7 basketball
forward, said yesterday he
signed a contract with the
Philadelphia 76ers of the
National Basketball
Association because the offer
was better than that made by
the Virginia Squires.
Bristow was the 21st player
to be picked in the NBA
college draft April 24, and he
also was a first round draft
choice of the Squires of the
American Basketball
Association.

The Lions came back in the second contest to gain the split
after shortstop Jerry Micsky opened things up a bit with his
homer and double. He also drew praise from coach Chuck
Medlar for his glove work.
"Micsky played some real fine defensive ball out there
today," Medlar said. "The thing that was getting us into
trouble was bases on balls."
In the second game, right fielder Kevin Burke broke a 2-2
tie in the sixth with a single and then the Lion relief pitching
took over. Steve Correll held the Owls in check after getting
out of a potentially disasterous situation in the fourth. Then
Lukevics came on, after only one day rest and a short stay on
the trainers table, and retied the final two to insure the 3-2
victory.
Temple coach Skip Wilson pointed to a double steal
situation in the fourth as the reason for his team's defeat.
"I think we lost that second game right out there at third,"
Wilson said. "Also, we used our two best pitchers yesterday
in the Drexel doubleheader."
Medlar said he only had a few simple instructions for
Lukevics when he brought him on with one out in the final
frame.
"I just told him there's one man on and one man out,"
Medlar said. "I know you have the stuff and I know you have
the guts. Just rear back and throw strikes."
