4 firsts for Lion trackrnen
By RICK WEBER
Collegian Sports Writer
The Penn State trackmen responded to
some beautiful, sunshiny weather and
turned in outstanding performances in
the highly-regarded Colonial Relays in
Williamsburg, Va. over the weekend.
The Lion trackmen earned four first
place finishes in the Relays, which
featured close to 60 college and AAU
club teams. The Penn Staters were
victorious in the 126-yard high hurdles,
440-yard intermediate hurdles, 5000-
meter run, and 3000-meter steeplechase.
"We were outstanding in the meet,"
said coach Harry Groves. "What we did,
we did well. We were representative
every time we competed. I felt good
about our performance because we were
spread around pretty much. The guys
felt like they really wanted to run
because of the perfect weather; it was
very conducive to our performance."
Mike Shine captured first place
finishes in the 120 high hurdles and 440
intermediate hurdles to lead the Nittany
Lions. Shine won the 120 HH in 13.9, only
.1 seconds off the Penn State outdoor
record which he set last year. Earlier in
the meet, he successfully defended his
440 IH crown by winning in a time of 51.3.
Lion freshman Bill Austin placed fourth
behind Shine with personal best of 54.6.

Overcoming a bit of sloppy stickwork in the first period, the
Penn State lacrosse team came on strong to whip a sur
prisingly punchless Drexel squad, 16-3 in the season opener in
Philadelphia. •
Keith McGuire, a junior attack from Huntington, N.Y., led
both teams in scoring with three goals and four assists. Second
line middies Paul Repp and Dan Pinkerton and attack Gary
Alex scored two goals each.
The balanced Lion attack 11 players scored steadily
pressured the Drexel unit throughout the game, increasing its
5-1 first period lead to 7-2 in the second, 13-3 in the third and the
final 16-3 tally as coach Dick Pencek called the dogs off and
gave some of his younger charges a chance to gain some
experience.
. .
The young defense worked well; according to captain Karl
Hurtzig, and this may have been the key point to the game.
Pencek had said he felt the Drexel attack would be among the
hardest-pressing units the Lions would face all year.
Drexel, previous winners over Amherst and Villanova, fell
to 2-1, while the 15th-ranked Lions continue working toward
the home opener against Franklin and Marshall Wednesday (8
p.m.) at Jeffrey Field.
Senior goalie Rich Caravella made 18 saves. In 13 games
last year, Caravella stopped 237 shots and allowed 8.17 goals
per game
For Hertzig, the most pleasing aspects of the game were the
balanced scoring effort and overall tight defense, but he

"Mike is a national class hurdler,"
said Groves of the 6-0,165-lb. senior. "He
just goes out and proves that he's one of
the best intermediate and high hurdlers
in the country. He had a great com
petitive effort.'
Bruce Baden devastated the field in
the 3000-meter steeplechase to win in a
personal and meet record time of 8:55.7,
well below the 1972 mark set by former
NCAA champ Joe Lucas of Georgetown..
Baden romped to an easy 16-second
victory over runnerup Jamie Gildrud of
Maryland
"Bruce won by well over a 100 yards,"
Groves said. "He's been developing
pretty good for one-and-one-half years."
George Malley captured the Lions'
fourth victory as he won the 5000-meter
run in a meet record of 13:53.2. Malley
went into the stretch neck-and-neck with
former Penn State star Charlie Maguire,
who eventually finished second in
13: 55.0. Lion Ed Darken tallied a fourth
place finish in 14:25.6.
The Lion trackmen backed up their
victories with two second-place finishes.
Indoor All-American Al Jackson finished
second in the hammer throw with a spin
of 194-8. Internationalist Ted Bregar of
the U.S. Navy won with a throw of 206-10.

Penn State's baseball team extended its record to 2-0
Saturday, whipping Villanova on the road, 10-4.
Junior Steve Nielson pitched seven strong innings to get the
win for the Lions, while Dick Miller relieved the final two and
picked up the save. Nielson suffered a rib injury in spring
drills and hadn't seen much action prior to Saturday's outing.
In the early innings, the Wildcats fashioned a 2-0 lead but the
Lions came back to knot it up. Villanova watched another one
run lead vanish in the middle innings as the Lions plugged
away and took command 10-3.
Second baseman Greg Vogel paced Penn State offensively
with five hits in six trips to the plate. Dave Delenick and Mick
Kolwicz added four safeties each as the Lions amassed a team
total of 19 hits. Lead-off hitter Larry Kramer had only one hit,
but a big one at that a two-run homer.
The Lions played most of the game without coach Chuck
Medlar, who was ejected in the first inning after arguing a
check-swing call.

doubleheader with Ithaca at Jeffrey Field, was snowed out
yesterday. Since the weather was bad, the two teams decided
to play only one game, but the show killed that plan, t 00... The

Penn State has outscored its opponents, 20-4.
All in all, Kodiak is enough to make a beer
drinker give up beer. Or a cream ale lover
switch brands.
And now it's easier to try Kodiak. That's
because, until now, you could only get Kodiak
on draft. But now, by popular demand, you can
have a Kodiak at home, too.
So pick up a six today. Kodiak Cream Ale,

The distance medley, sprint medley,
and four-mile relay teams all finished

two seconds behind the victorious

Lion f ieldman Tom Kryger

when he heaved the javelin 217-1 to place
third. Dave Kinney of Harvard won the
event with a throw of 224-4.
Paul Stemmer, representing the
Nittany Valley Track Club, won the
10,000-meter run in an Olympic
qualifying time of 28,40.0.
"Our four victories were excellent in a
big relay meet like this," said Groves.
"You have a lot of track clubs coming in
and you're not going to win a lot of
them."
"Where we could have won, we lost to
a track club," he continued. "But to
improve, you have to go against the best.
We scared a lot of the good track clubs
and we got a lot of satisfaction from
that."
