Penn Relays come alive today By RICK STARR Collegian Sports Editor The grandpap of track and field extravaganzas, the Penn Relays, will turn loose 7800 athletes today. Penn's Franklin Field is the site again for what truly is the world's most exasperating track and field spectacle. Runners circle the track, vaulters vault and shot putters put and hundreds of schoolboy athletes wait in the runway to be led on and off the field. At the same time the Park sticks Flyers NEW YORK (AP) Third period goals by Brad Park and Rod Gilbert broke a tie and lifted the New York Rangers to a 5-3 National Hockey League playoff victory over the Phildelphia Flyers last night.

The meet is described as a carnival, but with so many events and so many athletes, it looks.like a circus. The field this year is not only big, it's loaded. Here is a brief look at some of the expected highlights of the meet: A challenge in the distance medley from Manhattan and Tennessee to The Flyers had opened a two-goal edge 11 1 / 2 minutes into the second period on a goal credited to Gary Dorn hoefer which deflected into the Ranger net off New York defenseman Rod Seiling's stick. It marked the third time during the playoffs that Seiliirg has deflected a shot intohis own net. A little more than two minutes later, the Rangers got the goal back when Steve Vickers converted a power play opportunity on a perfect pass from Billy Fairbairn. 0 0 „, 0 5-8238 , 5-9401 5-7483 **** Fine madness By FRED BREWER Collegian Sports Writer A little bit of fine madness will take place in University Park this weekend. Penn State's rugby club has invited seven of the better teams in the Northeast to play in the ;1974 Phyrst Cup Rugger : Tourney. Play begins on the 'East Hall rugby pitches (behind the flower gardens) at 11:30 Saturday morning. President Theodore 'Roosevelt ordered colleges to civilize football or forget it, but no one has ever had the audacity to interfere with the rules of rugby so it remains Ithe rough sport it always was very similar to 19th cen- Villanova's eight year ownership of that event. The invitational mile, which was reinstated this year and which includes indoor mile killer Tony Waldorp. The entrance of 41 new colleges competing for the first time. For Penn State fans, the running of several Penn Staters, who range from longshots (Mike Sands in the 100-yard dash) to good bets (Charlie Maguire in the three-mile). —A 100-yard dash field that is out of sight. For the college heats, all a 9.5 will get you is a seat on the sidelines with all the other spectators. The College Cham: pionship of America Relays featuring Olympic runners (as do many of the other events) and the usual strong gang from North Carolina Central. A mighty field event including these favorites: Jeff Bolin (Purdue) long jump; Hans Hoglund (Texas- El Paso) shotput; Jacques Accambray (Kent State) hammer throw. Here is an idea of what the meet schedule looks like. On Friday, trials in the 440, 880, mile, shuttle hurdles, sprint • College students • Teachers & ex teachers • High school graduates with additional train ing in electronics (Military and/or civilian). • Must be able to write clear, concise material based on input from engineers, engineering drawings, schematics, engineering data, etc. • Compensation will be commensurate with ability, experience and background. To ex plore those opportunities apply or call • f e tury football The resemblance doesn't end with the similarity of the uniforms and game rules, but continues with the cama raderie shown after the game. One may hear cries of "get that bastard" during the game, but once its over, opponents shake hands and together they eommence the beer party. The party is usually simple. The ruggers drink beer, eat sandwiches and sing ditties about love and 'motherhood late into the night. One of the slogans on the rugby pins that'll be seen at the tourney reads, "It takes balls to play rugby." Before medley relays, 120-yard high hurdles, and 100-yard dash. On Saturday, almost all finals, and the invitational mile, which may turn out to be the downfall of the Penn Relay record in that event. One Lion trackman that might be worth wading through the miles of statistics for is hurdler Mike Shine. Look under the 440 in termediate hurdles. Shine has this to say of his possibilities: "I've got a chance, and I'll need some luck too." Last year Shine was so ready he false started twice. "I was too psyched up for the race," he said. "I'll be calmer this time." Shine's best time is 13.9 at the Nittany Lion Relays, - but Charles Foster (North Carolina Central) will be against him. Foster has a 13.7 streak to his credit.

' If you've ever seen the last few hectic minutes of a lop sided Junior high basketball game you have some idea what a "C" squad game is like. But don't forget these are full grown men and the action lasts for about an hour. In some ways a "C" game is more dangerous than a regular game, because most of the players know only one thing follow the ball.

Allen St. State College Phone 238-0566 everyone is there. Have you ever been on the bottom of a 30-man pile? If the rookie shows some semblance of rugby talent he's promoted to the "B" squad. Many players never ad vance into the "A" squad, because like any other sport it takes more than just the willingness to practice to make the first team. A cer tain amount of dexterity, strength and endurance are also needed. Being a little masochistic wouldn't hurt either. The most difficult phase of the game to learn is offense especially where to be without possession of the ball, just like basketball. Therefore the more ex perienced teams such as Cleveland, George Wash ington and Richmond should be watched for scoring punch. Those three teams are favored to wimthe trophy with Penn State and West Chester State filling the role of darkhorses. Navy should have a good physical team, but the Middies aren't expected to win it all. Any victories chalked up by either Penn sylvania or the Barbarians (West Shore) will be con sidered upsets. The winning team will succeed the Old Blue (Columbia) and be the fifth team to get its name on the Phyrst trophy.
