"Sutton indicated that if he were traded, he
would .prefer an American League team

McDonald said. "But he also indicated he
could be satisfied by the New York Mets."
So far, Seaver hasn't been satisfied by Ahe
Mets.
There had been reports that Seaver,
holding out for a three-year $BOO,OOO contract,
would sign at the meeting. But he didn't.

Hoosier fans live
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) For one
day, the rest of the world took a back seat and
the normally quiet people of Indiana rejoiced
in triumph. Their Hoosiers from Indiana
University came home yesterday NCAA
basketball champions at long last.
"The only thing I can say now is we're No.
1," senior guard Quinn Buckner told about
7,000 students packed tightly around
Assembly Hall scene of some of his finest
moments as a basketball player.
A white sign emblazened with bright red
letters served as a backdrop and told the
story of the big Red's long march to the top of
the college basketball world, long dominated
by UCLA. "Welcome Home NCAA Champs,".
it said.
Some students, basking in the aftermath of
Monday night's 86-68 triumph over Big Ten
foe Michigan, wore buttons with the, in
scription, "UCLA who?"
Coach Bobby Knight, looking to duplicate
the past dominance of the Bruins and to
rebuild a team that will lose four of its five
starters, spent the day in Washington, D.C.,
on a recruiting mission. .
Missing also was starting guard Bobby
Wilkerson, listed in satisfactory condition in
a Philadelphia hospital with a . concussion
suffered in the opening minutes of the game.
The Hoosiers were greeted by 2,500 people
when they arrived in Indianapolis yesterday
morning and were treated to a state police
escort through the farmlands of central
Indiana on a 50-mile convoy from the capital
to the campus.
"It should have been this way last year,"
said Chuck Mascus, a 34-year-old ac-
countant. He referred to the heartbreaking
defeat in the Mideast Regional final a year
ago, when Scott May sat on the bench with a
hroken arm.

Pitching big
Lion opener
By GARY SILVERS
Collegian Sports Writer
The Fenn State baseball
team breaks out the bats and
balls today when they travel
to Lehigh for its season
opener.
"We've done pretty well
against Lehigh over the
years," Lions' coach Chuck
Medler said, "but they're the
type of club that always
causes trouble, especially at
home.
"They're just coming off of
a five-game Southern swing
in Georgia," he added, "and
will : throw some excellent
pitching at us."
With the departure of pitch
ers Mitch Lukevics and Len
Bartek this year, the Lions
will rely heavily on Tim
Pearson and Steve Nielsen to
pick up the slack. However,
since Pearson is currently
sidelined with a lower back
injury and Nielsen is just
coming off a rib injury,
sophomore Jim Farr will take
the mound today. His
relievers are senior Steve
Correll, freshman Frank
Deutsch, and Dick Miller, a
transfer from an Arizona
junior college.
"With our two aces gone
this year, pitching is our main
concern," Medler said.
"We'll see if Farr can go nine
today and if not, I'll either go
with Correll or Nielsen,

depending on the situation."
The Lions' infield is com
posed of sophomore Dave
Delenick at first base, Greg
Vogel at second, Mickey
Kolwicz at shortstop, and
Kevin IVlaronic at third.
Garry Koch, who hit .400 last
year, returns behind the plate
with senior Tim Searer doing
the back-up duties.
Bob Miller, the team's
leading home run hitter last
season, will fill the left field
slot once again and lead-off
man Larry Kramer has the
job in center. The big question
now is right field, where leftie
George Weigel and rightie
Jeff Whitlock have been
battling it out. However,
according to Medler, Weigel
will get the nod against
Lehigh. The team's
designated hitters this season
are Ted Long (left-handed)
and John Roetter - ( right
handed) .

"The strength of the club
lies in the defense," Medler
said. •"I feel we have one of
the best defensive infields in
the nation.
"Our hitting should also be
good," he added. "We have
long ball threats in Miller,
Delenick, and Maronic, great
consistency in Koch, and a
second baseman (Vogel) who
can do it all bunt, drag
bunt, run, and hit the ball with
power."
Last season the Lions' 22-9
record• earned them their
sixth straight trip to the
NCAA's, but they were
eliminated from the com
petition after bowing twice to
Michigan in the mid-Eastern
regionals. The team's home
opener is scheduled for this
Sunday when they meet the
Villanova Wildcats in a 1 p.m.
doubleheader.
