Terps try to refute ACC reputation

:P as eball players sometimes get a
reputation for their less-than-awesome
reputation at the plate: good glove, not
bat.
The Atlantic Coast Conference has a
reputation that goes something like that:
good basketball, no football.

tolook a little brighter. North Carolina

Just plays instinctively
Soccer team not
By MARK SIMENSON
Assistant Sports Editor
There is nothing psychic about Penn
State's soccer team. It's just the booters
have developed a sixth sense or an
instinct about what the other guys on the
field are doing. The Lions have gelled as
a team.
"You can see it in practice," Jimmy
Startzell said last. night. "Everybody
knows each other's moves. If I see Chris
halfback Chris Bahr) with a man on
him, I know which way he'll go."
It has taken six games for the Lions to
develop this "feeling" for each other and
they test it out today at Shippensburg.
Penn State needed a goal from John
Marsden in the final minute to stave off a
tie last year against the Raiders. This
year many of the Lions aren't expecting
a tough time. After today's game, the
Lions have a game with East
Stroudsburg rescheduled to Tuesday and
a pair of home games with Temple and
Pitt.
,
"None of these games will come
easy," said Startzell, who is looking
toward a fourth NCAA playoff bid. The .
senior said he thinks it's almost certain
Penn State will be one of the four teams
selected to the Pa.-N.J.-Del. playoffs.
`!lt's just a matter of who is seeded one
or two," he said.
Last year Penn State was seeded
second and lost to the top seed, Penn, in
the second game of the regionals, which
were held at Penn's Franklin Field.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Coach Johnny
Majors says - Pitt's awakening football
team faces an unfamiliar foe over
confidence —, as it prepares for
tomorrow's game with Syracuse.
"Anyone who takes Syracuse lightly
doesn't deserve to show up on
Saturday," (Majors warned atlis weekly
press luncheon, sounding just like
opposing coaches used to when they
played long-downtrodden Pitt.
Majors said6Syracuse, 0-7, has been
Friday, November 2, 1973-7
Well, Maryland is built, and Penn
State takes a crack at the finished
product tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 p.m.
at Maryland's Bryd Stadium. The fourth
largest crowd in Maryland history is
expected to be on hand, which should be
around 42,000.
Penn State holds a dominating edge in
the series, 18-1, and has won every
meeting since 1961.
But with a 5-2 record, the Terrapins
shape up as a legitmate cause for Lion
coach Joe Paterno to fret, something
he's been doing all week. The Terps
Dartmouth and if they should fall again,
the Lions could find themselves playing
Penn away from its AstroTurf.
Unlike last year when bad weather
was part of the regular game
conditions, the booters have been
playing before good conditions for the
most part. Still bad weather ,can
neutralize talent, Startzell said.
"Abnormalities in the weather tend to
restrict talent ; " he said, noting that a lot
of cheap goals can be scored when bad
conditions exist.
Penn State has so much more talent
this year that it is not dependent on a
single person.
"The talent we had before centered
around Andy Rymarczuk (now with the
Rochester Lancers of the North
American Soccer League)," Startzell
said. "Rymarczuk and Rick Allen were
the one-two punch. We can be without
players and still play well."
While Startzell and a handful of others
have managed to remain healthy, the
Lions have been slowed by injuries to
Tom Kehan and goalie Mike Arnold.
Depth solved the problem for coach
Herb Schmidt. Startzell, who was a
starting wing last year, has moved over
to a forward spot that 'Kehan had during
his healthier moments. In the nets,
Schmidt replaced Arnold with Tim,
Dantzig, a transfer from Navy.
Penn State's offense revolves around
Bahr, but the Lions proved they could
play without him as they did in a game
against the British earlier in the season.
improving, and he noted that the
Orangemen led 9-0 before losing 34-23
last week to Miami.
"Syracuse is not out to lie down for
us," he again cautioned.
Nonetheless, Majors sal his players
must still convince themselves that they
aren't in for an easy afternoon tomorrow
at Pitt Stadium.
"I can't control it, as much as we talk
about it, try to guard against it," he said.
"The players have got to do it ."
Jo Hays, the Democratic
candidate, went with the
consensus in eight decisions, '
but was on the minority side
on two 3-4 splits int he
Collegian poll, Kansas and
South Carolina. Being in the
minority is nothing new to
Hays in Republican
dominated State College.
One remark by the
Democratic candidate might
be construed as a political
comment. After choosing the
South Carolina Gamecocks,
Hays remarked, "You always
have to pick one upset."
'Whatever their politics, the

After getting burned by Danny Buggs

Startzell said the reason for this is
flexibility even the fullbackS can take
shots. Against Navy last Friday, Penn
State occasionally used three 'fullbacks
on attack and one back on defense.
None of the fullbacks'scored, but
Dennis Denard picked up an assist on a
Bahr goal. Bahr, who scored 10 goals
and seven assists on his way to All-
America honors, last year has eight
tallies on four assists with four games to
play. He has scored in each of the
booters six contests.
Penn State has won three andltied once
since the loss to West Virginia. It now
has that certain feeling.
Lions' schedule makes advance difficult
By DICK DUNKEL !
1973 Dunkel Sports
Research Service
Teams never get a breather on the
hard-hearted Dunkel Index.
Most fans ourselves included ex
pect Oklahoma, Alabama and Ohio State
to win handily enough again tomorrow.
But the Index is a hard task-master. It
insists that they win by these margins
just to keep their ratings where they are:
Oklahoma 32 over lowa St.
Alabama 39 over Miss. St. '
Ohio State 21 over Illionois
Teams that play the easiest schedules
may actually have the hardest j9b main
taining high ratings week after week.
Penn State, for example, has walloped
seven opponents by an average of 32
points per game. That's a prOdigious
scoring effort. But because this op
position has averaged only 773 on the In
dex, Penn State must settle foi fifth place
on the Index with a rating total 9f1109.4
This week, however, the Nittauy, Lions
run into a strong Maryland team and can
improve their rating by defeating the
Terps by more than IS points. '

organized, well coached, they're a big
league ball club.
The Lions, who practiced for an hour
and 10 minutes yesterday in the gusty,
chilly weather, will be counting on
quarterback Tom Shuman to move the
offense against a strong and big Terp
defensive line. Shuman has completed 54
of his 103 passes for 934 yards and nine
touchdowns.
d Wake
Chances are, when Shuman drops
back to pass he'll be scanning the
horizon for one of his favorite receivers;
like tight end Dan Na tale, split end Gary
Hayman and wide receivers Chuck
Herd and Jimmy Scott.
John Cappelletti will be back at
tailback again this week while Bob
Nagle will start at fullback. Cappelletti
has 735 yards and nine touchdowns in
146 attempts so far. Paterno said he
hasn't made up his mind about Walt
Addie.
"I'll make that decision ,at game
time," Paterno said.
Addie, Penn State's second string
tailback, practiced for the first time in
two weeks Wednesday after getting the
OK from the team doctor. The Lion
junior was out two weeks due to a blood
disorder.
"We've practiced very well all week,"
Paterno said, "and we're in good shape
physically. In fact, we're in the best
shape we've been in for quite a while.
Cappelletti is running a lot freer and he's
not bothered by pain in his shoulder
anymore.

Bach pulls out of
Olympic haggling
By RAY McALLISTER
Collegian Sports Editor
"I just hope that because of it, the
sides may come closer. together if they
can understand one frustrated coach,
perhaps some progress will be made
toward building the American .program
to what it should be by 1976."
John Bach, somewhat surprised that
his announcement caused "this much
attention," yesterday resigned from the
U.S. Olympic Committee with a sense of
frustration:
"I just felt I couldn't see myself in the
role of a committee member with
the NCAA not being an integral part of
the Olympic committee," Bach
explained.
The Penn State basketball coach was
referring to the battle between the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
and the Amateur Athletic Association
for control of American amateur
athletics. The NCAA recently withdrew
from the Olympic committee in the
continuing feud which has plagued
amateur sports in this nation for years.
"I felt that without the NCAA
participation in the Olympic program,
and the lack of progress I saw at the
Olympic Committee meeting that it was
time to get out," he said.
team that had (Dick) Shiner and (Gary)
Collins maybe better." Paterno
continued. "They have a lot of fine
athletes.
"We're playing down there, and this is
a real big one for them. I'm sure they're
aware of the fact that if they beat us,
they'll probably go to a bowl, they'll put
their program right up on top again.
"So they have a lot going for them in
this game. We better be ready to play
well.
LION NOTES The Penn State team
leaves for Maryland by bus this
afternoon.
Maryland has added 7,000 seats to
Byrd stadium for tomorrow's contest.
Because of the ciesign of the stadium, the
University can add seats at will.
Last year the Lions and the Terps
were tied 10-10 at half, but Penn State
_ upheld tradition by scoring 36 points in
the final two periods.
Maryland coach Jerry Claiborne is in
his second year at the heim..of the Terps.
Last year, Claiborne posted a 5-5-1
mark.
MQrAarid quarterback Al Neville led
the A C in passing in 1971 with 107
completions in 204 attempts for 1275
yards and 10 touchdowns.
Paterno has high words of praise for
the job Claiborne is doing at Maryland.
"Claiborne built that program from
the ground up," Paterno said yesterday.
"It's a solid program. He doesn't change
things much from week to week. They do
basically the same things but try to be
better at them each week and make
improvements."

Bach, one of "seven or eight" active
coaches on the committee of 49, was
asked by an AAU official to remain. At
first he agreed but, after missing the
first meeting, was disgruntled to find
that an executive committee was not
selected at the second meeting.
"So even though I would have been
chairman of the men's basketball
development committee I decided to
resign," he said.
Bach, the assistant basketball coach of
the 1972 U.S. Olympic team that dropped
the highly controversial decision to the
Soviet Union, feels that no real U.S.
development can take place until the
NCAA is back into the picture.
"I don't see how we can have any
progress without the NCAA," he said.
"They've got the facilities, the coaches,
all the equipment.
"I really can't judge how much the
situation is deteriorating, if any. But in
the four years I was on the committee it
didn't seem to get any better. I can't
believe we can have any real
development if we continually have last
minute agreements "
The current four-year program of the
U.S., which reaches its focal point in
time for the 1972 Olympics, may well be
doomed, Bach feels, if some sort of
agreement isn't reached soon.
"The progress seems slow," Bach
said. "I don't think the U.S. can
recapture its sheer pride, its sheer
gold medals, unless something rational
is done.
"I didn't intend it to be such, but
perhaps my resignation will spur some
concern. I hope so."
