16---The Daily Collegian Thursday, April 7, 1977 Tee-up at Ohio Invite Golfwomen open season By KIM SMITH Collegian Sports Writer The Lady Buckeye Invitational, to be held this weekend at Columbus, Ohio, should give women's golf coach Net Thompson an idea of her team's chances this season. "We're hoping to better our finish this year;' Thompson said of the invitational. "We finished fourth last year. I think we can improve. "The tournament will be held on Ohio State's Scarlet course," Thompson said. "It's comparable to our course here." The Scarlet course is a par 72, 5,906-yard layout. ' Thompson is taking her six woman squad of Renie. Kelleher, Judi Mitchell, Hallie Bunk, Kelly Grimes, Kathy Patrick and Sally Slater to the two-day event. Kelleher, a sophomore, is the team's number-one player, with an 83 average. She was the winner of the 1975 Lady Lion fall invitational, Hawks at home on road By The Associated Piess The Chicago Black Hawks' "home game" tonight is going over like a lead balloon with the team, thanks to Led Zepplin. In other words, the New York Islanders are getting their show on the road at home. In still other words, it should be a very confusing evening. The Islanders will be wearing their road blues and the Black Hawks, trying to avert elimination from the National Hockey League's first-round playoffs, will be sport ing home whites, even though the game is in the Islanders' Nassau Coliseum. Three other games are to be played tonight. Like the Black Hawks, who lost their opener 5-2, the Pittsburgh Penguins will be trying to avoid elimination on the road. They head pinto Toronto following a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Pittsburgh. The Minnesota North Stars, 4-2 losers to Buffalo in their first game, host the Sabres and the Atlanta Flames, beaten 5-2 by Los Angeles, take on the visiting Kings in the other two games. . . The Islanders won their opener with a four goal third period that wiped out Chicago's 2-1 lead. Black Hawks Coach Bill White downplayed the team's most obvious disadvantage, the lack of a home game.

"There's nothing really we could do about that," White said at the Islanders' arena after the opening-game loss. "We're disappointed we can't play at home, but we don't mind coming here." But defenseman Randy Holt disagreed. "It's pretty bad," he said. "We're having a tough enough season without playing all our games on the road." To the Penguins' Jean Pronovost, there's no difference between a home-ice advantage and a road game. "We get booed here. We'll get booed there," he said of Pittsburgh and Toronto. It's the same thing." -- Like the Black Hawks, the Penguins saw an early lead vanish. "We•played a good first period. After that, we stopped," Pronovost said of Pittsburgh's 1-0 lead thA became a 2-1 - deficit after two periods. Rene Robert, Buffalo's veteran right wing, was being more cautious than his rookie teammate, goalie Don Edwards, following the Sabres' victory over Minnesota. "I wouldn't be surprised if it goes three games," said Robert. But Edwards crowed: "We won the first game and now we've got the winning feeling." Coach Fred Creighton sees a return to the Omni as a definite plus for his Flames. "If we play in our building as well as we did in the playoffs last year, we'll be back in Los Angeles Saturday night," he said. 10-30% OFF InTRRMURALS Bookworm serves Cumberland loss Drake Nicholas hit the volleyball last evening instead of the books. As a result, Fayette House triumphed over a fellow Center Halls team, Cumberland House, two games to one, at the Intramural Building. Nicholas stepped up to the serving line with Fayette House down one point to ten in the rubber . game of a, best-of-three contest. He served eleven straight points over the net en route to a 15-13 victory. "He was going to stay at the dorm and study," a teammate said of Drake. "But we persuaded him to come." The win marked the first competition for Fayette ,House this year. Its last scheduled game was forfeited becuase one of the players lost the time schedule. "We didn't even know the rules when we came," Harry Glenn said. The match, granted, was not played in championship style, but the two teams appeared to be evenly matched. Cumberland took the first game 'l5-11, and Fayette secured the second, 15-7. The members of the Fay- WOMEN'S BASKETBALL ot S def. Arts and ette House squad reported Lecture, hots for.; D.T.S.

The Swedes, who have the idea of staging the 1984 Winter Games in four or five different places, had their plan rejected, by an advisory assembly here. But they intend to raise it again.

Despite the win over Cumberland House, the once-victorious Fayette House views the remainder 1 of the season as "dismal." "We're . weak every where," Glenn said.

The Pittsburgh Pirates open their drive to replant the NL's Eastern Division flag in the western end of Penn's Woods this afternoon when they take on the St. Louis Cardinals at Three Rivers Stadium. Despite the 'questionable efforts of a general manager that's been taken ad vantage of more often than a gullible blonde in. a smoky bar, the Pirates come out of the winter hibernation with an improved defense and a stronger bullpen. (Unfortunately, the same can't be said of Columbus, the Pirates triple-A farm club, which will have 'trouble fielding a team after the departure of Doug Bair, Mitchell Page, Tony Armas, Jimmy Sexton and Craig Reynolds via trades, and the graduation of Miguel Dilone, Omar Morano and Ken Macha to the parent club —but that's another story.) Gone from last year's second place squad are pitchers Doc Medich and Dave Giusti, both of whom had sub-par years in '76. The Bucs may miss the bats of Manny Sanguillen, Bob Robertson and Richie Z (R) isk, but their departure is a defensive plus.' No longer the "Lumber Company," the Pirates have changed their image to one of speed and finesse. But how well have they made the switch? To try to get some answers about a team with more questions than David • Frost has for Nixon, a position by position, rundown is needed. PITCHING: They say it's the biggest part of the game, and 'that's especially true for the Pirates, since they won't be as strong of fensively. The key here is John Candelaria (16-7, 3.15 ERA in '76) who has had arm miseries all spring. Team officials say it's nothing serious but if the Pirates lose the "Candyman" for any length of time it won't be a sweet season. Other starters are Jim Rooker (15-8), Bruce Kison (14-9), Larry Demery. -(10-7) and today's starter Jerry Reuss ( 14-9). The bullpen was bolstered in the off season with the addition of Rich Gossage, Grant Jackson and Terry Forster to last year's top game saver Kent Tekulve.

Al Oliver has moved from centerfield to left to make room for Omar Moreno, who has speel . to burn but has appeared in only 54 previou major league contests. Oliver, who can do ' all with the bat, ( .323 in '76), is set in leftfield and seems to be over an ailment that caused him to get dizzy when chasing flyballslast year. In rightfield, Dave Parker ( .313, 13 HR, 90 RBI last year) rounds out the Bucs' faitest outfield in years. Backing up this trio will b, . ; Miguel Dilone ( who may start today because Moreno has an injured heel) and the team's most valuable player last year, Bill Robin son ( .303, 21 HR). Robinson will also play some first base. INFIELD: Here again, the Pirates figure ti be stronger than last year with the addition of Phil Garner (.261, 74 RBI, 35 SB in Oakland last year) at third base. Garner, is a holler guy type who may provide the spark that seemed to be missing in the Pirate infield last year. Defensively he'll eat up ground balls that the departed Mr. Hebner had, only a nodding acquaintance with. Rennie Stennet is steady at second base and has good range. Insiders are predicting he'll bounce back from an off year (.257) to the form he showed in 1974 ( .291, 196 hits) and '75 (.286).4 Willie Stargell also should come back from an off year (20 HR) even though he's on the, shady side of the hill. Frank Tavaras was the Bucs' offensive surprise last year ( .258, 58 SB) but must spend less time this year looking behind him in disgust after ground, balls are hit his way. Mario Mendoza is the "Leather Company", backing up Tavaras. His hands are softer than your baby's behind but he'll only come to the plate if there's food on it. Tommy Helms, re-acquired from Oakland, is also in reserve along with Ed Kirkpatrick, a good clutch stick. CATCHING: This will be the Pirates' weak spot. Duffy Dyer is top notch defensively and a good handler of pitchers but has never gone anywhere near the distance due to a light bat ( .223 last year). Backing Dyer up is Ed Ott, a good hitter but inexperienced and suspect . defensively. Neither will stir memories or.; Yogi Berra. Peak performances by all concerned will get the Pirates to the top of the heap, and '4 make it a happy summer in the city that made a "shot and a beer" famous. I
