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

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. It seems a mixup in
scheduling gave Led Zepplin, a rock group,

"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.

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.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast ( AP) More will be heard of a plan
to spread the Olympic games around instead of having them in

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.
"We are fighters," said Bo Bengtsson, president of the
Swedish Olympics Association.

adopted. We have a lot of support.

Improved Pirates open
at home with Cardinals
. 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.
Overall, the staff has to be rated a plus and
could be better than the Phillie mound corps,

are serious and Jim Kaat succumbs to '
ravages of Father Time. •
OUTFIELD: This is another Pirate stront
point but one not without a few questions. 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.;
