He leads the team with 25 catches for 443 yards. But don't. be surprised if halfback Roland Hooks leads the game in receptions. Buckey likes to throw to Hooks coming out of the backfield, and with the Lions' suspect un der-coverage, he might do it even more. Stan Fritts is the fullback. Fritts has rolled up 955 yards on 198 carries to complement Hooks' 722 on 109. The high-powered Wolfpack offense will be going against the no. I rush defense in the nation. Anchored by linemen Mike -Hartenstine and Greg Murphy the defense has only allowed 102.5 yards rushing per game. However, that sometimes brilliant, sometimes-mediocre secondary could be the weakness that Wolfpack coach Lou Holtz will want to exploit. Holtz hasn't lost a game at Carter field since he took over three years ago. To win this one it would have to be a case of superlative offense over superlative defense. Garber aiming for shot at Nationals By DAVE MORRIS . Collegian Sports Writer So the Penn State football team is heading south just after Christmas. Seems everyone is thinking about New Year's Day, Dallas and football. Everyone, that is, except Randy Garber and teammates on the Penn Sta V. soccer team. For them it's early December, National Championship, St. Louis and soccer. "The prospects of going to the NCAA's are real good," the senior forward said. "We were sky high against some of the nationally ranked teams we played early in the season, but then we had a letdown. But I think we'll be at a peak for the playoffs." Garber transferred to Penn State last year after a two-year stint at the Mercer (N.J.) Community College. The Mercer soccer team went to the small-college nationals both years Garber played. "The small schools didn't have very tough schedules, but the eight teams in the cham pionship could beat a lot of four-year schools," he said. When he arrived at Penn State, he played under Herb Schmidt, who stepped down last year to take an administrative post. In 12 games Garber had four assists and seven goals. In the nine contests so far this year he has five assists and two goals. One of the first things he noted when he stepped onto Jeffrey Field for his first game in Blue and White was the size of the crowd. "In front of four or five thousand people you play harder," he noted. "You just get up a lit tle more than when you play in front of 50 or 75 people." This season 28,100 fans turned out for six home games under the lights at Jeffrey Field. r 7 ,f.CANCE_ sALE 1975 Smokercraft Aluminum • Nov. 8 & 9 SAVE 20% Fri. & Sat. Invest in Aluminum!

He says soccer at Penn State has a big future and fans will stop and take notice. The reason for the growth? Garber credits the big name and the facilities. "When a kid checks out a school he wants to know who is the coach, what kind of facilities are available and if the school offers his major," Garber said. "Any kid who sees a home game here, well, that's almost a ticket right there." Garber is a physical education major. After graduation he wants to teach phys. ed. and possibly coach. And of course he wants to play soccer. "I would definitely try to play pro ball with whoever would draft me," he said. "If no one drafts me then I'll play, amateur ball. I've put in too much time to just give up the game." If the words of his Coach, Walt Bahr, mean anything, Garber won't have to worry. Bahr has been contacted by scouts from the North American Soccer League regarding several players on the Penn t State team and some players from other schools in the region. "I've heard from prlctically every team in the league," Bahr said. "By the end of the season they have a pretty good idea of who's who." And what about Randy Garber? Bahr says he'll definitely get drafted, along With several other seniors on the squad. ' But for the moment Randy' Garber is con tent playing out the season to the best of his ability. Two more games and a possible trip to the nationals. Randy Garber might watch the Cotton Bowl on NeW Year's Day, but he'd rather play soccer. arAt F , ; ~+~ ~ . Randy Garber Hot Sox The Hobbit 118 S.
