Stickwomen stop Lock Haven
By BARBIPARMER
Assistant Sports Editor
LOCK HAVEN An early
offensive free-for-all quickly
settled into a muddy battle of
the defensives yesterday,
with the Penn State field
( hockey defenders protecting
f a 2-1 victory over fifth-ranked
Lock Haven.
Lock Haven, rated number
five in the country after-last
year's November, nationals,
wasted no time in taking
control of the contest , on a
Kathy Ogle score with one
'minute gone.•
The goal came just after
Penn. State fullback Barb
Stephan slipped ,on the
poorly drained, rain
saturated field and knocked
the movable goalcage out of
its original position.
Several Penn Staters and
coach Gillian Rattray said
they were not sure the ball
,would have found the nets if
the cage was in place. - '
' "I think in the end it paid off
'foi us because the team got so
mad when they called it a
score," Rattray said
following the contest.
~
That payoff came just 1:45
later when right outside
forward Becca GaiwOod
poked a shot past Lock Haven
goalie Pam Whitaker after a
centering hit by left outside
forward . Sue Ward. Gar
wood's tally gives her the
' team-leading total of four
goals on the year.
The two squads , settled
down in a 1-1 deadlock for the
next 24 minutes' until
sophomore forward Charlene
had been fatigued to the point that it
wasn't working. Everything I had
worked for for the last two years
could have gone up in smoke.
"I thought my career was over."
' When the season ended, "I went
into the hospital . and really got
frightened when they shaved both my
arms."
There was a possibility that tendons
from his right arm would have to be
transplanted to his left a procedure
similar to the one survived by the
Dodgers' Tommy John. - • •
Fortunately for Jones, that didn't
prove necessary. "I was scared, but
the operation went great. It took an
hour and a half and it went great. The
doctor said the arm is in great shape
for the amount of use it's had."
That included . 315 1-3 innings pitch
ed for the fifth-place Padres with 25
complete games. Jones, in 40 games,
struck out just 93 batters but walked
only 50 and compiled the league's
sixth-best earned run average: 2.74:
Good enough for the Cy Young.
"It was a feeling of great elation
when I found out," he said. •

NEW YORK (AP) The two expansion
teams in the American League are without
players but they still are generating a lot of
interest at the home front.
AL newcomers Seattle and Toronto will be
stocking their rosters at Friday's expansion
draft with young players and a smattering of
veterans, which is not a formula for im
mediate success in the major leagues.
The fastest any expansion team ever made
it to the play-offs was in eight years. The New
York 'Mets won the World Series in 1969 and
the Kansas City Royals won the AL West this
season.
But the fans in Seattle and Toronto just are
happy to have been elected to the major
leagues, even though the returns will be
negative for a while.
,
The Seattle Mariners already have sold
more than 2,400 season tickets, according to
Lou Gorman, the club's director of player
operations.
"The American League record for season
ticket sales is 6,500," Gorman said, "Our
owners think we can sell 6,000."

Penguins whip Los Angeles
Everybody was in on a piece of the defensive action as forward Becca Garwood
(28) shows against' a Lock Haven opponent. Garwood also demonstrated her of
fensive abilities by netting the first of two Penn State goals.
The Daily Collegian Wednesday, November 3, 1976-
This is the second time around for Seattle,
which lost its team to Milwaukee after one
year. Gorman says the city has welcomed
baseball with open arms this time.
"The Pilots only sold 1,900 tickets in 1969,"
Gorman said. "But remember they played in
an old stadium. We'll be playing in a brand
new, domed stadium." ,
Toronto had both leagues bidding to make
it major league for the 1977 season. The AL
won the race, depriving National League
fans of a natural rivalry with Montreal.
But the fans in Toronto are glad to be,
watching major league baseball of any kind
after having minor league teams for many
years.
"It's going very well," , said Peter Bavasi,
vice president and general manager of the
Blue Jays. "Already we've had over 9,000
inquiries. In a week and a, half we had 4,000
firm subscriptions. That figure could go as
high as 10,000, even more.
