Stickwotnen 2nd in Mid East tourney
By GORDEN BLAIN
Collegian Sports Writer
Five Penn State Lady Lion
stickwomen led their Mid-
East regional lall-star field
hockey team to second place
in the National Field Hockey
Tournament in DeKalb,
Illinois last weekend.
Representing the blue and
white sticks in the star
classic, which saw all-star
teams from all regions of the
country come to the Northern
Illinois University to do
battle, were seniors Gwenn
Hannigan, Peg Gerhart, Barb
Doran, junior Deb Gorman,
and freshman sensation Chris
Larson.
Lion harriers 10thi, Malley All-American
By DAVE. BROWN
Collegian Sports Writer
George Malley's All-
American effOrt paced the
Nittany Lion harriers to a
10th-place finish in the NCAA
Championship's Nov. 25 in
Bloomington, Ind.
Malley wound up 39th butit
was good ,enough for All-
American hdnors (top 25)
after the foreign runners
participating for American
universities were removed
from the results.
England's Nick Rose of
Western Kentucky, Kenyan
John Ngene running 'for
Washington State, and
Kenyan Wilson Waigwa with
Texas-El -Paso copped the
first three spots as foreign
raised athletes dominated the
race. The overwhelming
success of foreign runners in
recent NCAA Championships
has led to their banishment
from All-American status as
NCAA officials sought a more
representative AA team.
As for coach Harry Groves'
Lions, they duplicated their
10th-place finish of a year
ago. pSU amazingly grouped
its first four runners within 14
seconds of each other.
"We never ran that clokely
bunched before," Groves
said. "The four (Malley, Ron
Secord l , Walt Majak, and Ken
Wilson)) ran lantastic." After
Malley's 30:40, junior Secord
tallied 77th, sophomore
Majak 85th, junior Paul
Stemmer 96th, and junior

Gwenn Hannigan, who was
named to the Mid-East first
level all-star team, talked
about the tourny. "It was one
of the 'most interesting
tournaments I've been to,"
Gwenn said.
The other four women were
on the second level Mid-East
all-star squad which was
coached by Penn State
mentor Gillian Rattray.
Rattray commented about
the second place finish of the
Mid-East's three all-star
teams to the champion
Philadelphia regional teams.
"We lost by .013 percentage
points. They based their
decision on the nun.zber of

The big disappointment for
Penn State was Stemmer's
showing. Stemmer had won
six races during the season
and appeared ready for the
finals. He started fast as he
stayed with the top 15 for the
first two miles, but he then
faded as muscle spasms
dropped him from contention.
"We could have been better
in the NCAA finals the past
two years, but we haven't

Philadelphia played 14 games
and Mid East only played 10."
Mid-Est finished 7-2-1 and
Philadelphia came out with a
10-4 slate. Rattray, saying she
was nohl , too happy, felt the
Lady Li6ns all ,played well,
and that "we'll never know
how they reached their
decision. The whole thing is
ridiculous."
Peg Gerhart, the Lady
Lions leading scorer during
the regular season and the up
start freshman stickhandler,
Chris Larson each scored four
goals in three games. They
played alongside all-stars
from New York and central
because of the nature of the
race and different cir
cumstances. But we've been
handing in there as far as
national rankings go. Since
1968, we've finished from 14th
to eighth," Groves said.
Penn State returns its top
fiXe harriers next season, but
Groves fears the foreign
competition recruited by
other schools may be too
much to overcome.

So why can't PSU simply
recruit the foreign runners
who sport better track

"How are we going to

to get into Penn State," the
Lion track boss said in a
serious tone.
