With mounting pressure to

Garden turns to Francis with
the demand "make us a

Any demand of this nature
places a coach in a restricted

his freedom to guide a team as

then, are few. Instead of

twice as the Lions and Cadets played
to a 2-2 tie before a record Jeffrey

The Lions launched 50 shots on
Army goalie Rick Hoefert but the 6-4
senior from Lawton, Oklahoma never
wavered, even dieing a hectic period
at the end of the game when Penn
State was pressing for the win.
"He's a big, strong goaltender and
he played very well," said Lion
coach Walter Bahr.

Superior depth spelled the
difference in Penn State's 27-
30 cross-country win over
Kent State Friday afternoon.
The Gdlden Flashes' top
four men ran well, but the
Nittany Lions swept from
nine through 15 to ice the
meet.
Lion Paul Stemmer scorch
ed the six-mile course in
29:44,,the second fastest time
ever recorded on the. Kent,
Ohio course. Former Flash
Sam Blair, who was Stem
mer's coach for two years
at Allegheny Community
College, owns the record
with 29:19 in 1968.
KSU's Don Kier and Mike

George Malley settled for
fourth place.
goalie Tim Dantzig for a 1-0 Army
lead.
Just 48 seconds later, Lion Dave
Riece converted a rebound off
goalie Hoefert to tie the score at one.
It was Riece's first score this year.
The first half ended in a one-all
deadlock as Hoefert made several
good saves on Randy Garber and
Chris Bahr shots, to the dismay of the
record crowd.
The Lions.dominated the first half
play with 19 shots to Army's three.
Dantzig didn't have a first half save
to his credit while Hoefert scrambled
to keep eight shots out of the net.
Penn State continued to press the
Army defense with the start of the
second half. The Lions scored twice
but both tallies were called back, one
because of an obstruction infraction
Stemmer, Keir, Irman, and
Malley were running together
at the four-mile .mark and
then Stemmer began to pull
away.
"I just took off on the fourth
mile and they couldn't stay
with me," the Lion junior said
of his 75-yard margin of
victory.
Coach Harry Groves got
important sixth and seventh
place finishes from junior
Ken Wilson and freshman
Tracy Mollica. PSU's nine
through 15 sweep was par . -
ticularly impressive since it
meant Groves' entire 12-man
squad had beaten Kent's fifth
runner.

race," Stemmer said. "All of

Between !those two plays, Army
made its only real drive of the second
half work at 25:19 as Nelson popped in
a rebound from a Mike McFarland
shot to give the Cadets a 2-1 lead.
"When you're pressing and
pressing, something like that can
happen," said Bahr. "We had the
opportunity Ito clear the ball but we
didn't. They 'caught us shorthanded."
Army coach Joe Palone added,
"We viere luckier than hell on the
second' goal, especially since Penn
State was outshooting us so badly."
With the crowd sensing a possible
upset and, the Army defense dropping
in around its goalie to protect the
lead, Chris Bahr headed in a Garber
pass at 40:05 for his sixth goal of the

Are the Lions ready to
tackle the monstrous part of
their schedule which looms
ominously before them?
"Well, we're definitely
improving," - Stemmer said.
"The team's not depending on
any one guy. We're moving up
to the challenge. Everyone's
been hanging in there the
whole way. We know we have
to run as a team."
The reason the '74 harriers;
now 2-1, must master the art
of team running is because
this year's team is different

Penn State swarmed all over the
