Lady netters suffer tough loss
By BARB SHELLY
Collegian Sports Writer
The season of the Penn State's women's tennis team (5-3)
can be measured in terms of successes, but Saturday's 5-4 loss
to Ohio State left coach Joan Nessler with a slightly bitter
taste in the mouth.
"The only match I was disappointed in was today's," she
said afterwards. The Lady Lions' other losses were at the
hands of Princeton and Virginia, perennial powers in women's
tennis.
Penn State started the season with only one veteran player,
second singles Wendy Gavett. The rest of the team was
comprised of four freshmen and one transfer. Besides vic
tories over tough opponents such as Maryland and West
Chester, the Lady Lions placed second in the two tournaments
they entered.
Saturday's loss to Ohio State came after Princeton beat the
Lady Lions 8-1 Thursday afternoon, and then defeated Ohio
State by the same score the next day.
"Ohio State was good, but I really thought we should have
been able to beat them," Nessler said, adding that the visitor's
wins in the third and fourth singles spots made the difference.
On the third court, Molly Wesner fell victim to another tough
loss in the third set. She was defeated by Wendy Stewart 6-3,
3-6, 6-1. Wesner described her opponenet as an ageessive
player with a tough spin serve. "In the first set I was really
hitting too hard," she said, continuing that she slowed down
and took the second set, and the third set was a matter of
which player could win the crucial points.
At fourth singles, Ohio State's Laura Schubert had freshman
Joan Backenstose on the defensive throughout a 6-2, 6-1
match.
Gavett also failed to win the crucial points and ended with a
6-3, 6-2 defeat to Leann Grimes at second singles. On the sixth
court, Bailey Symington struggled with opponent Ellen
Shewalter's cross court attacks, before losing 6-4, 6-3.
Singles winners for Penn State were Joy McManus, who
ended her freshman season at first singles with a 6-2 record,
and fifth singles Micki Larkin. McManus put on an impressive
showing as she defeated Ann Wilson 6-3, 7-6. Afterwards,
McManus said she was pleased with the match. "I played
more consistently, and didn't hit so many out," she said.
Larkin, again the last singles player to leave the courts,
survived a three set match with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 win.
Nessler said the doubles matches turned out the way she
expected, as Ohio State's talented first doubles team beat
Gavett and Backenstose 6-3, 6-4. Penn State picked up the final
two doubles wins, but by that time it was too late for a team
victory. McManus and Larkin won 6-4, 6-4, and Wesner and
Symington pulled out a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory.

an expensive guitar,
get a great one.
You're getting it together on guitar and you
want a great one. But you're worried that a
great one means an expensive one. Well it
doesn't. Great means Epiphone. An Epiphone
guitar is carefully designed, crafted and
assembled from the finest rosewood, maple, /
and spruce. So it looks more expensive
than it is. But here's the greatest part -
Epiphone sounds and plays every bit as
good as it looks. So before you buy,
shop around. And compare. For action,
feel and sound. We think you'll find that
Epiphone looks, plays and feels like
$3OO. Instead of as little as $lOO. You
get more out of it because we put more
into it. Epiphone. From the people
who make Gibson guitars

last week has been returned to the club. The cup will now re
turn to its hallowed residence in the Phyrst Bar.
The club's season finale will be at home next Saturday at

NCAA chances
slim for linkers
after Indiana
By finishing second on Friday at the Indiana (Pa.) Tour
nament, the Penn State men's golf team may have lost a trip
to the NCAA Championships.
The Lions have not fared well in their two road tour
neys including an 18th place finish at Ohio State and an
NCAA selection relies heavily on away performances. •
"We haven't stood up away from here (Penn State's Blue
Course)," said coach Joe Boyle.
"We've got to prove that we're that kind of caliber (to play:
in the nationals this June)," he said. "We just haven't done.
it."
At Indiana, the host Indians' seven-man 529 total easily beat:
Penn State's 547. Lion medalist was freshman Gary Durbin, -
shooting a three-over 74 on the Indiana Country Club, good
enough for a third place tie.
"We played lousy as a team," said Boyle. "That course
wasn't that hard."
- TM
The disappointed Boyle couldn't find fault with Durbin, a
Binghamton, N.Y. native who didn't start any of the Lions
first four matches.
Had he not double-bogied the 16th, Durbin would have
bettered the winning 73 carded by Wooster's Roger Loesch.
Putting troubles had kept Durbin out of the lineup early in
the season.
"I've never played in the spring before," said Durbin. "It's
always been cold in Binghamton.
"My putting is just starting to come around," he said, and
along with it confidence, as he makes the adjustment to
collegiate golf.
"Things are just starting to jell for me," Darbin added.
"I'm sorry there is only two matches left."
The first of those matches is tomorrow at Bucknell, a team
the Lions have defeated 32 of 34 times.
Other Penn State scores at Indiana were Sherm Hostetter's
76, Tim Wilson's 77, Bob Dine's 79, 80's by both Dick Conn and
Tom Amendola, and an 81 by Rod Franc
