Lions face Stanford in home grid opener
Cardinals may fly
over, around Lions
Stanford has always been known as a haven for intellectuals
while Penn State has been noted for its football program.
These sterotypes have held up over the last three years with
the Lions winning three straight over the Cardinals.
However, this year in an effort to change those sterotypes, it
seems that Stanford head coach Jack Christiansen has gotten
• a hold of some smart football players. As a result Penn State
will be hard pressed to make it four in a row.
"We're approaching this game with the attitude that we
have a very realistic chance to defeat a team rated among the
top 10 or 20 in the nation," Christiansen said recently.
This statement could easily be attributed to undue
preseason euphoria on the part of the coach but in this in
rAance Christiansen has the bodies to back him up.
Last year's young untested squad has turned into a veteran
ballclub that returns 15 starters and 40 lettermen from a 6-4-1
team.
"Because of the talented people and the, experience we
have, I feel we're able to go after our early season games
more aggressively this year than ever before," Christiansen
said in obvious reference to Stanford's first two opponents
Venn State and Michigan. In laymen's terms that means the
Cardinals will come out punching. ,
On offense Stanford has the potential to be very offensive. A
talented group of receivers is headed up by flanker Tony Hill
who may be All-America this year and will certainlygo high in
the pro draft. Hill is within reach of all the school receiving
records now held by the San Francisco 49ers' Gene
Washington.
It took a while but senior Mike Cordova finally beat out
junior Guy Benjamin at quarterback. Cordova has passed for
512 yards and four touchdowns in .two games against the
Lions. In other words, he's not bashful about putting it up , in
the air.
Stanford also has the ingredients for an excellent running
attack. The line of Mark Hill, Gordon King, Gary Anderson,
Alex Karakozoff, and Albert Tenßruggencate averages 252
'founds and is as quick as it is big. '
In the backfield the Cardinals return their four top rushers
from 1975. They ai'e fullback Don Stevenson and all-purpose
back Ron Inge with Phil Francis and John Finley waiting in
the wings
If it's beginning to shape up as one of those 45-42 jobs, hold
on to your seat. It seems Stanford has a heck of a defense as
well.
"The defensive line should be a real strong area for us,"
Christiansen said. "We have eight,.or_ nine very talented
people."
Fortunately, only four players are allowed to be on the line
at, one time. They will be anchored by All-American end
Duncan McColl and returners John Harris and Geoff Kieburtz
4-4, the tackles. Freshman Chuck Evans heads a slew of can
didates for the other end spot. • •
The linebacking crew is headed by impressive soph Gordy
Ceresino and senior Jeff Barton and junior Ray Cardinalli at
the outside spots.
"Ceresino has really, been doing an outstanding job,"
Christiansen said. "He's going to be a super player for us. "
In the defensive secondary the Cardinalg return three
starters in Rich Waters, Larry Reynolds, and Savann
Thompson with junior Ralph Phillips heading the candidates
for the fourth spot.
"We feel we're in a position now where we don't have to say
'wait til next year' or even 'wait til next week," Christiansen
said in assessing his, squad's chances for this year.
Tomorrow at 1:30 on the floor of Beaver Stadium the waiting
ends. ,

PHILADELPHIA (AP)
The slump-ridden • Phil

by a one-minute standing
ovation on their return home
from a disastrous road trip,
beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 last
night with the help of a walk,
an error and a passed ball in a

The Phillies, losers of 11 of

raised their lead over idle

behind Jim Lonborg's seven

In the past two weeks, the
Phillies had seen their 151 -

lethal ground strokes at
Orantes and followed them to
the net. The match hinged to a
large degree on how often
Orantes could get his passing
shots past the charging Borg.
The capacity crowd of
16,000 stood and cheered both
players as the match ended.
Borg, surrounded by
photographers, was as
emotionless as ever. Orantes .
slumped in a chair and buried
his face in a towel.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) Quarterback Jeff Dankworth rushed
for 155 yards and scored two touchdowns while halfback
Theotis Brown scampered for 127 yards and two more scores
to lead UCLA to a 28-10 upset of third-ranked Arizona State
University in a nationally televised football game last night.
The UCLA Bruins, ranked 17th in the preseason national
college football poll, stunned a crowd of 50,876 in the season
opener for both schools.
The Bruins demonstrated an awesome ground,attack as
they rushed for nearly 500 yards while holding what was billed
as a high scoring ASU offense to just 10 points.
AP Laserphato
Dankworth was cunning in his rushing, starting the Bruins
on scoring drives of 80 yards, 80 yards and 79 yards.
The fourth UCLA touchdown of the night capped a 60 yard
drive which was led by backup signal caller Steve Buckich.

New State offense
varied but untested
By 808 BUDAY
Collegian Sports Writer
Two of Penn State's top fullbacks haven't played a minute of
college football. The number two fullback is a reconverted
tightend
The team's starting defensive back is more used to carrying
the ball than trying to intercept it. He played as a running
back his first two years.
The Lions' main placekicker has a magical name but has
yet to boot his first college field goal.
However, Coach Joe Paterno is relying on these and the rest
of his slightly inexperienced ,players in tomorrow's opener
with Stanford. If the team's potential for greatness can be
turned into kinetic football, then the Lions will make it four
straight over the Cardinals.
Paterno's offense will be directed by last year's starting
quarterback, John Andress, a 6-2, 209-lb. senior doubling as the
squad's punter. If the offense sputters, Paterno has access to
rifle-arm Chuck Fusina and sophomore Doug Hostetler.
Due to 1975's anemic offense, Andress is expected to go to
the air more frequently. His targets could prove to be im
peccable; ex-freshman sensations Jimmy Cefalo, Tom
Donovan, and Scott Fitzkee, and all-purpose back Rich Mauti
can individually turn a game around. And tight end Micky
Shuler isn't bad himself.
The running back situation is of a more questionable nature.
Duane Taylor, the second leading rusher a year ago, is injured
and out for the season. Would-be starting full-back Larry
Suhey is out, too, and will miss several games. Which, you'd
think, would want to make Paterno jump off Pinchot Hall.
But here come the freshmen. Tony Alguero will start at full
back with State College's third Suhey brother, Matt, as one of
his replacements. Senior tight-end turned running back, Dave
Stutts is also available.
At halfback, Steve Geise no longer has Taylor to contend
with for the starting spot. The 6-1%, 202-lob. junior is backed
by sophs Rich Milot and Kevin Thrower. Two more freshmen
could see action if the game gets out of hand: Ed Guthrie and
Mike Guman.
The offensive line has All-America prospect Brad Benson,
Ron Argenta, Greg Kubas, and former defensive tackle
George Reihner. Center Keith Dorney is the only non-senior of
the group.,sive line is led by an athlete Paterno has said is
"the best defensive tackle we've had here since Mike Reid."
He is sophomore Tony Petruccio and his linemates are ends
Bill Banks and Ron Crosby. Converted linebacker Randy Sid
ler pliys tackle alongside Petruccio.
Penn State comes up with two more super linebackers in
senior Kurt Allerman and junior Ron Hostetler, both looking
for All-American status. Juniors Joe Diange and Tom DePaso
complete the 4-4 Paterno defense.
The secondary has been patched up with the addition of
running back Neil Hutton in the left corner spot. Sophomore
Billy Crummy mans the right corner with Gary Petercuskie, a
safety, as the standout of the three. They have quite a job for
themselves in trying to stifle the celebrated Stanford passing
game.
Lastly, freshman Matt Bahr has been placed in his brother's
place kicking shoes. And these aren't the easiest to fill con
sidering big brother Chris was probably the college's best last
year. Also contending for the job are Rocco English, a senior,
and freshmen Herb Menhardt and Tony Cappozzoli.
The potential is the're. But not the experience. Since it might
take some time for the potential to be fully unleashed, the,7
score should be closer than 1975's Lion romp. .
