Nick Martin is Pitt's top runner and was a fifth place finisher in the Central Collegiates behind Penn State's Paul Stemmer and George Malley. Melvin Boyd and Terry Wile are the next best Pitt runners. They finished 12th and 18th respectively in the championship. The race will be run on Pittsburgh's Schenley Park course, which consists of one single six-mile loop. "It's kind of a funny course," Groves said. "It's a fairly rough and hilly-type of course. You can't see much of it you're running and you never know what is coming. You have to be a little cautious because of the limited view. "The course will dictate the strategy involved. We are naturally not as familiar with it as Pitt is." Paul Stemmer is still undefeated and George Malley has run impressively in the last three meets. Malley tied Stemmer for first place in the Indiana and Georgetown meets and finished second to him in the Conference championships last week. "George is a good runner big and strong," said Groves of the junior from Glenn Dale, Maryland. "He has had a good amount of the right kind of training.

However, in the case of Penn State vs. Temple at Jeffrey Field tonight (7:00), the Lions are faced with a situation that warrants use of the expression at least one more time. The booters (7-3-1) are now rated seventh among Division I teams in the Pennsylvania-Delaware- New Jersey area, and only the top four will be in vited to the NCAA tournament that begins Nov. 19. A win over the Owls, who are ranked seventh in the region and 17th in the nation, is a necessity in order to keep the Lions' post-season hopes alive. Temple comes into tonight's match with only one loss in 10 games, an upset at the hands of city rival LaSalle. Outside of Owl coach John Boles, PSU coach Walter Bahr knows the Temple team better than anyone. "I recruited most of those players and brought them in for Temple," says Bahr, who preceded Boles at the Philadelphia school. "I've known some of them since they were eight years old." Knowing Temple as well as he does, Bahr also knows how difficult a task is before his team tonight: "They're the most solid team we've played this year and they have no weak spots. Their Pitt should finish near the top. The three have been excellent all season and will go to Nationals in Aimes, lowa, November 15, along with Eileen Meenan. Nanet Noreem and Karen Johnson will compete Saturday for the chance to round out the team entering Nationals. Fifty runners are entered in the senior race. Brooks said the Keystone Club from Philadelphia will again be the toughest competitor. The Lady Lions already defeated Keystone for the Mid-Atlantic District championship. midfielders control the ball, their backs are good, and all their forwards can score." The Temple attack features four dangerous scoring threats in forwards Jack Dietz (six goals, eight assists), Joe DiSalvo (10,3), Bill Sautter (5,5) and George Lesyw (4,5). In contrast, the only Lion in that scoring range is Leo Bodossian, with eight goals and one assist. "I expect a good game," Bahr says, "and I hope we put on a go9d show for the spectators. Both teams are well-prepared, there's a little added excitement because of the game's importance, and I see it as a toss-up." Bahr thinks that the shortness of the collegiate soccer schedule places too much pressure to win on every game in order to reach the NCAA's. "There are so few games that you can't afford to lose a couple," he argues. "I'd like to see a 25-game schedule, so a team can go, say, 20-5, and still make the tournament." The tourney picture is so scrambled now that State must also hope for the higher-ranked teams to lose, in addition to winning tonight's game. With nationally-ranked Philadelphia Textile a certainty to get one of the four bids, the Lions must hope that Penn, Delaware, Fairleigh-Dickinson, and Bucknell get upset. "Selections are also made on the basis of toughness of schedule, in addition to won-lost record," adds Bahr. think our schedule has been the toughest of any of the teams we're up against for the bids." Bids will be extended Tuesday night, but Bahr is looking ahead only to tonight: "This will be a great game for three reasons. First, we need it to stay in the running; second, Temple is ahead of us and we can show something by beating them; and, third, a lot of these players know each other and are friendly with each other." NOTES: Back Sal Bommarito, though still hanipered by ligament problems, will start tonight and Bahr hopes to use him the entire game. Dave Reice has the same trouble, but hasn't recovered enough for his status to be sure until game time.... NCAA NOTES: Clemson has regained its No. 1 spot in the national Top 20 after garnering 15 of 18 first-place votes in this week's rating. The Tigers (10-1) have outscored their opponents, 58-5 The Lions' Nov. 16 opponent, Hartwick, dropped from eighth to No. 13 - One of the traditional rivalries will resume tonight when St. Louis meets SIU-Edwardsville in Busch Memorial Stadium. The game drew an NCAA record 21,000 fans-two years ago. Pitt, Mounties play sweet-talking game MORGANTOWN, W.Va. ( AP) The football teams at Pitt and West Virginia University have nothing in common with comedian Rodney Dangerfield. Both get all of the respect they could ever want from each other. What's supposed to be one of the bitterest grudge games in college football has turned into a pre-game pat-your-opponent on-the-back routine. Both Pitt Coach Johnny Majors and West Virginia Coach Bobby Bowden would make ideal good will ambassadors. First, Majors. "They're so much improved over last year, there's no comparison," Majors who's beaten WVU twice straight said. "I don't think there's a team I've seen that has an array of running backslike they do. "They can substitute with no discernible lack of talent and they have one of the truly great backs in the country in Arthur Owens. He has a massive offensive line in front of him that averages close to 260 pounds and their defense has been playing with much more enthusiasm and is more sound than last year. "We'll have to go down there with a lot of dedication, en thusiasm, and pride if we're to beat a key-up West Virginia team with good personnel." Now, Bowden. "They are sound all the way around," the West Virginia coach said. "Their running, their passing, their kicking, their def - znse A lot of people don't give their defense the praise ttwy deserve They have one of the best defenses around,. 'their statistics show that. "They've got one of the best running backs in the country in'. Tony Dorsett and their punt return mar. Gordon Jones may be' one of the best, too. .They can beat you a lot of ways." After all the niceties are over, the two teams will get down to business Saturday afternoon: matching 6-2 records on the' WVU AstroTurf. A crowd of nearly 36,000 will jam Moun taineer Field for the 68th career meeting between the two rivals, while an Eastern television audience will also see the game on ABC-TV. Pitt has beaten West Virginia the past two seasons, after WVU had lashed the Panthers five of the preceding six years. Pitt holds an overwhelming 45-21-1 career mark. Thank You! NANCY L.
