Wolfpack baying at door
By TIAI PANACCIO
Assistant Sports Editor
Remember the three little
pigs'? You do, huh? Then
surely, you must remember
the wolf "I'll huff and I'll puff
and I'll blow your house in!"
the wolf was heard to bay cen
turies ago.
Stories like that are still cir
culated around • the South.
Especially, down around the
area of Raleigh. North
Carolina. ,
You see that's where the
Wolfpack from N.C. State
stalk. Now last year. the Pack
congregated outside Beaver
Stadium and threatened to

Ecclesiastic. Specializing in domestic apd European fashions

Tom Shuman eludes Terps. However, Terps are slower than Wolves
blow down that all steel struc
ture unless Joe Paterno was
sacrificed as sorta "peace
meal".
Joe wouldn't have any part
of that, -naturally. He said,
"Shove it, Pack. Wait till the
game begins."
And what a game it avas.
Penn State just about lost an
Orange Bowl bid with a
narrow 35-29 victory.
This season, Penn State
travels to Raleigh. The Pack
is rather hungry. They an
ticipate a minor bowl bid
Peach Bowl and would like
to ruin any chance that may
exist for the Lions Cotton Bowl
trip.

Our scout in Raleigh says
that people haven't talked up a
game like this since 1967.
Maybe you don't remember
1967. It was year when the
Pack came tracking to State
College ranked fourth in the
country.
Penn State was moving
toward an 8-3-1 season and the
Lions smelled blood. They
drew blood by the narrow
score of 13-8.
Our scout insists that people
are talking about 1967. After
all, the tables are reversed.
Penn State (7-1) is ranked
seventh and 'N.C. State (7-2)
isn't even in the top 20.
Our scout says this is gonna

be a mean game. He says the
Lions had better be, up. The
Pack is hungry. It was starved
in losses to North Carolina and
Maryland.
Conversely, the Lions are
satisfied they .fed on
Maryland and are sipping the
drink of a Cotton Bowl bid.
They probably aren't very
hungry. .
Last week the Lion defen
sive line was hungry. Greg
Murphy hadnlt eaten a meal
at West Halls in a month. Mike
Hartenstine vowed not to eat
until hiscmustache grew back.

A funny thing could happen
on the way to the Cotton Bowl.
You see, the Penn State Nit
tany Lions have to make a
stopover at Raleigh to play the
North Carolina State Wolf
pack.
Now, this Wolpfack team
would also like t,q, go to a bowl.
Not only would they'like to go,
but some feel they deserve to
go. If they beat Penn State
their aspirations could be
realized. Not only that, but the
Lion's bowl bid might be
blown away like a ball of cot
ton.
Lion defensive captain Jim
Bradley realizes this. Bradley
sat out last week and watched
replacement Jeff Hite lead the
team to a 24-17 victory over
Maryland. In all probability
Bradley will sit out again
tomorrow at Carter Field.
"This is going to be our
roughest game of the year,"
Bradley states. "They're
(N.C. State) tougher than
Maryland. If we lose this one,
our bowl bid could be in
question."
Hopefully, all the Lions are
aware of what this N.C. State
team could do to their post
season hopes. The Wolfpack
boasts one of the most bal
anced offenses in the nation.
Led by quarterback Dave
Buckey and his split end, twin
brother Don Buckey, the Pack
has a potent aerial attack to
pair with a powerful running
game. '
Dwie Buckey has amassed
1,378 total yards (1276 in
,the
air, 102 on the ground). While
Don also does alright in the
stat department with 25 recep
tions for 443 yards. •
Stan Fritts and Roland
Hooks compose one of the best
1-2 backfield punches in the
land. Fritts has rambled for
963 yards on 198 carries, while
Hooks boasts a 6.5 average
'with 722 on 109.
Defensively, the Watfpack
(7-2) is vulnerable, especially
at the ends. They've .allowed
191 points, and that's a lot con
sidering they didn't really
play anybody until three
weeks ago. Coincidently,
that's when j.hey' started
losing.
They lost their first game to
North Carolina 33-14, and then
lost again to Maryland (20-10)

sharp
before beating South Carolina
last week 42-27.
The Lion offense, that will
have to exploit the weakhess
hasn't been on track.in recent
weeks. Fourteen of the 24
Penn State points scored last
week were by the defense.
To beat N.C. State, quater
back Tom Shuman will have to
return to the proficiency he
displayed in the 55-0 drubbing
of Wake Forest.
The Lion running attack tics
been diversified to say the
least. Coach Joe Paterno has
been ,us i ng somebody else
each game, thus giving the
fans a chance to play "Guess
Who's Running the Ball this
Week."
Last week it was reserve
Neil Hutton who saw the most
action. Two weeks ago it was
Duane Taylor. Three weeks
ago it was Tom Donchez.
Tomorrow, who knows?
Big booting
Bahr meets
By DAVE MORRIS
Collegian Sports Writer
When Walt Bahr goes home this weekend it
won't be for a friendly visit.
Bahr and his Penn State booters visit Tem
ple tonight in an all-important step toward the
Nationals) Bahr coached the Owls for three
seasons before coming to Penn State.
"Friday is a big game, a must win for us,"
senior forward Randy Garber said. "If we
win big at Temple we could be ranked first for
the first round of the playoffs.",
The top ranking in the East would give
Penn State the home field advantage. The top
two Eastern teams play at home. Penn State
has never lost a home game since Jeffrey
Field was dedicated a few years back.
Coining into tonight's contest, Temple is 9-
2-1. Under first year coach John Boles,
Bahr's assistant (and one-time fellow All-
American) at Temple, the Owls dropped
decisions to LaSalle (1-0) and West Chester
(2-1). Penn State beat West Chester 3-1
earlier in the season.
Joe DiSalvo, with 10 goals and one assist,
leads the Owls in scoring. Goalie Woody Hart
man has four shutouts and a 0.85 goals against
average.
for the Pack
As far as passing, Shuman
will be looking mostly for wide
receiver Jerry Jeram and
tight end Dan Natale. Natale
hurt his back five weeks ago
against Army, and hasn't
returned to top form since.
Thus making Jeram the club's
top receiver with 25 catches
for 259 yards.
The Penn State defense is
the best in the nation a
gainst the rush. When the op
posing quarterback puts the
ball in the air, things get a
little shaky.
As mentioned, Bradley will
sit it out unless he gets a mid
night reprieve from the team
doctor. That leaves Hite, Tom
O'dell and Mike Johnson or
Tom Giotto in the secondary.
The line is solid, and has
been all year. Dave Graf and
.Greg Murphy are the ends.
Mike Hartenstine and John
Quinn are the tackles. They
Bahr's booters are led by Chris Bahr (10
goals, 2 assists) and John Marsden (2 goals, 8
assists). Keeper Tim Dantzig has one shutout
to his credit and a 1.23 goals against average.
"At this point we can't take anyone
lightly," Walt Bahr said.
Bahr has the advantage of knowing many of
the Owl players; he recruited them during his
reign at Temple.
The Lions booters face Pitt in Pittsburgh
next weekelyttior,the regular season finale. A
week later the playoffs begin. The top team
plays the fourth-ranked team and the second
and third place teams play.
It's possible that Penn State could make it
all the way to St. Louis for the National finals
without leaving Happy Valley.
After the first round, the two winners meet
at the field of the highest ranked team. Thus
Penn State, if it wins the initial contest, would
play the second round at home also.
The winner of the East plays the winner of
the South on the Eastern champs' field.
Again, if the Lions win, Jeffrey Piet('
would be the contest site.
The winner of this contest would go the
Nationals in Busch Stadium, St. Louis Dec.

Wolfpack coach Lou Holtz
rates Penn State as one of the
top five teams in the nation.
"We'll have to play a super
game to have a chance at win
ning," says Holtz. "But I'm
sure our players welcome the
opportunity to play them here
in Raleigh."
You're damn right he wants
to play in Raleigh. After all his
record there is 14-0-I.
