NEW YORK (AP) Joe Torre stripped off his uri- By DAVE MORRIS Collegian Sports Writer The first test for the offensively oriented Penn State soccer team comes tonight at 7 p.m. when the Nittany lions entertain East Stroudsburg at Jeffrey Field. The game stands to'be a tough opener for both clubs. Penn State’s strength rests in the offensive field, while the visitors, according to Stroudsburg coach John McKeon, are counting on a tough defensive battle. “No one team is far enough along at this point to coordinate an offense,” he said, adding that his squad’s defensive play has come around very well thus far. Evidently, McKeon didn’t tell Lion coach Walt Bahr that it is too early to worry about offense. The rookie State coach hopes his team’s defensive efforts will match its anticipated scoring power. atform cameras as tidies for to s game. ... And in the Stanford camp, which sets up in Beaver Stadium around 4:00 this afternoon, it’s, the proverbial high spirits. .YMPICS form slowly, which is the prerogative, of any man who has just hours and four minutes playing base ball. “That was the fastest 25- inning game 1 ever played,” ; decided the veteran St. Louis Cardinal first baseman, one of nine players to go the dis tance in the Wednesday night-Thursday morning marathon won by the Car dinals, over the New York Mets. 1 It was a mere 54 years ago that the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers went 26 innings to a 1-1 no decision. No game since then has gone as long as the Mets-Cardinal struggle. The Mets have made runs at the 26-inning record before. They played 23 innings in the second game of a double header against the MSan Francisco Giants Mayl 31, 1964, and 24 against Houston Anri' 15, 1968.

Big deal, huh? But it’s fall, it’s Penn State, and it’s the day before Penn State and Stanford have a little get-together out by East Halls. If you stick your nose in these pages at all, you’re probably interested in' knowing what kind of football team Penn State has. Funny, but that’s something Penn State’s football team would also like to know. “We’ve .practiced long enough,” Everybody’s anxious to go out and play some football and find out what kind of a team we have,” Lion boss Joe Paterno said. “I’m pleased with the last couple workouts we’ve had. The players look sharp, they’re hustling, they're starting to get their legs back.” “Anytime you play a team higher rated than you, it’s a little incentive for the players,” said coach Jack Christiansen. “Joe Paterno always seems to have very good people. This year his starters are all senjors “Why do those things al ways happen with the Mets?” Sudol said wearily. This would have been a “At this point, I think we have enough racked up five assists last season, while firepower to score goals,” Bahr said.

Christiansen, as he has all along, seems to play the optimist like a robin with one end of a ten-foot earthworm in its beak. But Paterno’s tune, though changing recently, remains somewhat bluesy. Also very in tersting. “There’s some concern that we’re not as precise or comfortable enough to do some of the things we’re gonna do." he added, as the writers wondered just exactly what those things might be. Paterno also noted that his charges are not 100 per cent physically able for tomorrow. Mark Thomas, the starting right guard, and reserve linebacker Kurt Allerman are listed as doubtful. , But the previews, the exchange of com pliments, the practices are finished. All that remains is the game itself. As the overture ends and the curtain rises, here’s a few scenes that might be interesting to watch closely. These will all take place at the line of scrimmage, the place where many feel that football games are won. Penn State tackle John Nessel (61) versus Stanford defensive end Roger Stillwell (91). Formerly a guard, senior Nessel has been shifted to where he must battle a preseason All-America in Stillwell. Nessel is 6-5, 258, f till well 6-6, 245. Penn State center Jack Baiorunos (55) versus Stanford nose guard Drew Palin (64). At 6-2,240, Palin should be a worthy opponent for the Lion offensive captain, who is somewhat smaller at 6-3, 227. Penn State tackle Jeff Bleamer (74) versus Stanford defensive end Pat Donovan' (83). Like Stillwell, Donovan is a senior, potential All-America, and big at 6-5, 240. Bleamer has the size at 6-4, 249, but will have a lot to handle in his.first start. Stanford guard Tom Tipton (62) versus Penn State defensive tackle John Quinn (76).
