—The Dally Collegian Friday, October I, l!)7(i Brunache to start for Lloyd Booters By PETE DOUGHERTY r alleeian Sports Writer Brunache will get his chance to try on the hard-to-fill shoes of injured back Dave Lloyd as the Penn State soccer team returns home tonight to meet West Virginia. Brunache will be starting in the middle with Matt Bahr in the 3-3-4 setup of the Lions, who will be after their fifth victory against one defeat in the 7 p.m. Jeffrey Field game.- "Jean played all but the first 15 minutes against West Chester (Tuesday),’’ PSU head coach Walt Bahr said. “He played pretty well, so we’re going to give him another chance.” Lloyd’s injury has been a bothersome one. "He doesn’t seem to be much better than he was three weeks ago,” said Bahr. The injury is to the leg and, while it came during a rash of injuries in curred by the Penn State booters, has been the only one that hasn’t heeled. Lady harriers host quad-meet Penn State’s women’s cross country team, fresh off an impressive victory in last Sunday’s Lady Lion Invitational, will host the University of Pittsburgh, and Maryland and Lock Haven this Sunday on the White Golf Course. The Lady Lion harriers took five of the top eight spots in last week’s eight team invitational and seem to be on schedule in their bid for th,e national women’s cross country title. Kris Bankes, Hilary Noden and Liz Berry finished two, three, four for Penn State in last week’s meet and one of the three could move up to take the top spot on Sunday. Bankes, whose knees had been giving her problems after a summer of hard road work, ran well enough to finish second with a time of 16:56 over the three-mile course. She said then she was happy with her time and had run better than she expected after a week of not-so-good practice time trials. After a week of rainy weather, the cross country route around the White Golf Course is muddy in spots and going will be trecherous on the hills according to women’s cross country coach Chris Brooks. Brooks said her team was working on keeping an even pace over the three-mile course in practice. “They’ve been working on a 5:45 mile pace in practice this week,” Brooks said, “and we hope to have them down to 5:30 METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CHURCH “with a special ministry to the gay community” Services every Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in Eisenhower Chapel Shelley Hamilton campus chaplain 'Slip into something Comfort'able { | J’o'Vo'fi.so. 1 order a I r— —— yz — ■ i si lou». mo «si32 conTfort- T-SHIRT !

Tom Taylor has played there, and so has Sal Bommarito, but we want to get Sal at a midfield position. “We would like to get Dave in there (tonight), though,” Bahr added. The only other Lion bothered by an injury is senior midfielder Kevin Costello, who has a broken leg and won’t be back until the second half of the season at best. Freshman forward Jim Stamitis, who had been slow in recov ering, is “near 100 per cent” said Bahr, and will be starting tonight. Another slow-recuperator may also see action.

John’s Derailleurs Gura cuts A's hopes KANSAS CITY (AP) The Oakland A’s had taken four out of five from the Kansas City Royals in nine days and moved to within 2Vfs games of the American League West leaders. It came down to a must game for both teams. Manager Whitey Herzog reached into the bullpen for a starter Wednesday night and came up with Larry Gura, who had started one game since he was picked up in a trade with the New • York Yankees and failed to finish it. Gura, 4-0, matched teammate Marty Pattin’s performance of the previous night by giving up only four hits. Gura, . however, pitched a complete game, 4-0 shutout, while Pattin lost 1-0 on a home run. Veteran Cookie Rojas may have turned the tide for the foundering Royals when he dropped a two-out bunt single down the third base line in the second inning, driving in the first run of the game. The Royals’ victory clinch ed a tie for the division crown, the closest Kansas City has come to a baseball championship in 21 years of major league competition. The Royals can clinch it with one victory in the weekend meet Everything.for hockey except the ice. Now at john’s derailleurs CCM, BAUER, TITAN, KOHO, VICTORIAVILLE, 480 E.

The A’s weren’t exactly conceding the race, but catcher Gene Tenace said after the game: “You cou.J say an era is over.’’ Out fielder Bill North said.it was doubtful the necessary combination would occur three straight losses by the Royals and four straight victories by the Twins. There had been some suggestion that the Royals, who once led their division by 12 games, couldn’t handle the pressure. Manager Whitey Herzog disagreed after the victory'over Oakland. “Nobody can say \ : :e' choked. We went out there and did everything. you’re supposed to do,” he said. Asked if he was glad the Royals would have a chance to wrap up the title at home, Herzog replied: “Not rea'iy. We should have wrapped it up earlier.” Oakland players were high in their praise of Gura, and A’s Manager Chuck Tanner even suggested that Ewing Kauffman, the, Royals’ owner, should give him ;a $25,000 raise for next year. “Some of us wondered why they were pitching Gura,” saicj A’s third baseman Sal Bando. .“We found out. He goes out there and sticks the ball where the sun doesn’t shine.” J -' The second-inning bunt by Rojas was seen as a turning point by Herzog. The Royals had runners on first and third with nobody out when A 1 Cowens hit a line drive that was turned into a double pljfj. Hal Mcßae scored when Rojas dropped a bunt that Bando couldn’t make a play on. “A real lift,” Herzog said of the bunt. “That would have hurt not to score after hitting the ball so hard.” v TM Major league standings ■ American League East W I, Pet.
