PITTSBURGH (AP) Defensive end Dwight White
returned to practice yesterday as the Pittsburgh Steelers
completed heavy drills for their Saturday showdown with the
Cincinnati Bengals.
White had been 'sent home Wednesday with a sinus, con
dition, which the Steelers said "improved considerably"
ovelrnight. He will start against the Bengals.
The condition of defensive tackle Joe Greene is not so clear
and Chuck Noll doesn't expect to make a decision on his
playing status until tomorrow morning. Greene has missed
three out of the last four games with a pinched nerve his
° neck anel a groin injury.
Green'e did practice all week or the first time in six weeks,
but if he is unable to play, Stev Furness has been outstanding
in a reserve role.
This time around, the Steelers, 114,,need the win to assure
themseles of the division title, while a Cincinnati victory
would guarantee the Bengals, 0-2, at least a wild-card berth
and a shot at the title.
In order to captute the title o tright, Cincinnati would have
to.win this week an a beat San Diego next week and would need
to count on Los Angeles to defeat Pittsburgh in the Steelers'
final gaine.
Although the Steelers are already assured of being in the
playoff one more victory would guarantge the homefield
playoff : dvantage that goes with the division championship.

LIGHT BUFFET-CASH!BAR
By BARB SHELLY
Collegian Sports Writer
Bloomsburg appears to be an easy opener when the Penn
State women's; swimming and diving team travels there
tomorrow to begin its dual meet season, but coach Ellen Perry
said the meet cannot be taken lightly.
"Bloomsburg is an up-and-coming team," she said. "It will
be a good meet." Bloomsburg defeated Binghamton State
University in New York 84-44 last weekend while the Lady
Lions placed third opt of eight teams in-the Pitt Relays.
Perry said Bloomsburg appears to have - a
-good backstroker,
Tina O'Hora, 'jlidging from the results of last weeks meet.
O'Hora won the 50 yard backstroke event in 31:38. Other
Bloomsburg swimmers who looked strong were Mary Man
dell, who won two butterfly events, and Cheryl Devries, who
placed first in thg individual medley.
Perry said' O'Hora, Devriet, Mandell and freikyler Jane
Crossmore may provide strong competition in the 200-yard
medley relay.
"The meet provides an oppilortunity to keep building en
durance," Perr•Y, said. Endurance in a vital factor right now
because Penn State has an important Meet with Springfield
January 10 and the swimmers mist stay in shape.
Penn State p resently holds a 2-0-record against Bloomsburg.
Those who ' miss Colette Bizal at the gymnastic meets can
see her at the N,atatnrium this winter in her first season of
diving. Bizal made the witch because of a shoulder injury and
potential knee problems. She will be joined by another former
gymnast, Janet Cantwell, also plagued by knee problems.
Diving captain Diane Celecke, a sophomore, is the only
- diver 'with collegiate competitive experience. Celecke holds
program on that point.
"The main goal this season is the same
as in the past," he said "It's a little
early to break any Penn State records,
our goal right now is to get some good
dual
. meet time trials. I hope to see
everyone's times improve, we've got
some freshmen and I don't know how
they'll swim under these conditions,
stress conditions."
Mac Neil continued, citing the four
points of the Penn State swim program:
1. the measure of success is in the in
dividual times and performances, 2.
bettering personal times in dual meets,
3. setting new Penn State records, 4. a
concern for winning or losing the in
dividual dual meet.
Tomorrow's success depends a great
deal on the freshman, whether or not
they can perform in &dual meet situatin
and if the training program has been
right. . z
Mac Neill said that Lehigh is a strong
team and has already beaten Temple,
another strong team, in the final event
the freestyle relay. He added that. the
Lions have a chance at defeating the
Engineers if they can get a leadlbefore
the freestyle relay, one of the Lehigh's
strongest events.
In most places the Engineer's are
weak, the Lions are strong and the Lions
weak where the Lehigh is strong. The
backstroke is a good example, the Lion's
1 l'
haye a good team as evidenced by last
week's relays and should get a win here.
Also in the individual medlay relay Penn
State should come out on top, with prep
school All-American, Lance Duffy and
Craig Herr in the event.
The Lehigh meet should answer some
questions about this year's freestylers
and in the process may decide the meet
with some excellent swimmers from
Lehigh. Mac Neill is going to gamble
with Mike Noel -who usually swims the
shorter, distances in the 1000 freestyle.
He'll be joined in the event by Bruce
Balderson.
In the 500, Mike Noel is the Penn State
record holder. But, the 200 butterfly is a
real problem with ,no star Lion swim
mers and in the 200 breaststroke there
are two top Engineers. These short
commings could spell a long afternoon
for sprinters Steve ,Morrical and Larry
Close and captain and all-around man,
Bill McConnell.
The strong point of the Lion swim
team may, again this year, be the divers
with one of the best in the east and Penn
State record holder, Rich Maurone and
Eastern's qualifier Scott Limon.
For Penn State to win, according to
Mac Neil, the Lions will have get some
points early. The Engineers want
revenge from last year's defeat here and
the Lions have a morning van ride to
Bethlehem.

Freshman Shawn Lindsay is the fourth member of the diving
team. The men and women divers are coached by Bob
Goldberg.
Penn State will face its toughest dual meet competition at
o
home this season. S ringfield, Pittsburgh, west' Chester,
C
Shippensburg and anon ' will give spectators at the
Natatorium a chance tb
see top competition in the east.
Wildcats 'not solid'
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)
Kentucky's basketball vic
tory over Miami of Ohio after
two straight losses was "a
temporary reprieve, but
we're I still not a solid club by
any means," Coach Joe B.
Hall said yesterday.
"We're making progress,
but our schedule is very tough
through December, and gets
tougher as we' go. We're
trying to gain experience as
fast as we can," Hall said.
Hall wasn't surprisd at all
that Kentucky lost its first
DRINKING AGE: 18
two games of the season for
the first time in 50 years. In
fact, he said, "We could have
lost the first three."
Kentucky lost four of its top
six scorers from last year,
when the Wildcats handed
powerful Indiana its only loss
of the season and finished
second to UCLA in the NCAft
playoffs.
That left Hall with one of
the youngest teams ever
fielded at Kentucky one
senior, three juniors, five
sophomores and three fresh
men.
