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

return with WVU
Lloyd started as a freshman last year,
making a replacement all the harder to
find.
“Dave Schmidt has played well
there,” Bahr said, “but at times is a
little inconsistent, especially with his
tackling. 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. "Audie Pencale is just over
his injuries,” said Bahr, who has been
ablq to use the senior at both midfield

by the end of the season. Last week they went out too fast in
trying to keep up with Aileen O’Connor (the eventual win
ner).”
Penn State’s team will be split in half again this week in an
attempt to provide some competition for the Lion’s runners.
Maryland and Pitt will field a combined team that could give
the split up Penn State harriers some trouble.
The meet will be held at 1 p.m.

starting backs after spring practice, as
he played very well in Dallas (Super

described as “one of the better games
we played.” ... Among the players to

leading scorer Roberto Calzadillo, a

Dominic Emanuele (dark shirt) will start at back for the
Lion booters tonight against West Virginia.
Penn State coach Jane Flynn is optimistic about
her team’s chances going into the meet.
“My team looks pretty strong,” Flynn said. “It’s
the first meet of the year so we really don’t know
what to expect from the other teams.”
Penn State will send 28 riders into the individual
competition including five riders whose scores will
count in the team standings.
Returning for Penn State will be Nancy Foster,
who was a regional and national qualifier last year
and Betty Prinz, who was a regional qualifier.
The other point riders for Penn State will be Missy
Unkovic, Randy Weeber, and Luanne Richards.

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

Kansas City or if Oakland
loses one game against
California.
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
