Marquette falls,
Friars cooked
By The Associated Press
Marquette and Providence ran into a
couple of high-pressure zones in Chicago
over the weekend.
No, not the weather the basketball
kind.
As the Midwest has been crippled by a
towering snowstorm, so were Marquette
and Providence brought to their knees
by a pair of stern defenses Saturday
night the second-ranked Warriors
losing to Loyola of Chicago 68-64 and No.
10 Providence dropping a 78-68 decision
to No. 19 DePaul.
‘ ‘They got the job done, what else can I
say?" said Marquette Coach Hank
Raymonds.
"They executed well down the stretch,
especially making the key free throws."
Loyola Coach Jerry Lyne attributed
one of the school’s most significant
victories to his team’s defense, its
domination of the boards and its ability
to keep Marquette out of its game plan.
“Butch Lee wasn’t even a factor in the
game,” said Lyne. "When other people
tried to keep him out he got inside, but he
didn’t get inside tonight."
Andre Wakefield was the star of the
game for Loyola, scoring 25 points, as
Marquette suffered only its second
defeat in 17 games.
DePaul similarly snowed Providence
as Joe Ponsetto and Dave Corzine each

austere training program to win pro tennis titles,

the would-be challengers destroy themselves and rode a
round of 2-under par 70 into his first pro golf tour vic
tory Sunday in the Andy Williams-San Diego Open.
Gene Littler, a 47-year-old veteran and hometown
'favorite, and big Andy Bean both fell victim to their own
mistakes. And that enabled the slender Haas to take the
title with a 3-stroke margin on a 278 total, 10 shots under
par on Torrey Pines’ South course, stretching 7,047
yards along the sun-splashed California coast.
The victory was worth much more than the $40,000

Classy lady cagers
dominate the Knights
By BARBARA KLEIN ' •
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
It was just a matter of class and the
women’s basketball team happened to
have an abundancy of it.
And it was all on display Saturday as
the Lady Lions defeated the visiting
Rutgers team, 78-62.
The Lady Lions dominated the game
from the. beginning, stalling Rutgers’
offense completely for the first four
minutes. Finally, the Scarlet Knights
were able to break through Penn State’s
defense for a total of 28 points during the
first half.
During that same half the Lady Lions
were able' to walk through Rutgers’
defense for 41 points.
“We played our regular, basic man-to
man defense, denying them the ball,”
Penn State assistant coach Maura
McHugh said.
Whatever technique the Lady Lions
were using appeared to work, but it was
not entirely consistent.
“We got a little stale,” Penn State
, center Mag Strittmattersaid. “It’s hard
to keep up with the momentum the entire
game. We had lapses when we were not
playing good defense or offense.”
But the problems annoying Penn State
didn’t compare with the problems
plaguing Rutgers. Even when the Lady
Lions entered a lapse, N the Scarlet
Knights could not take, advantage of the
opportunity.
Despite her efforts, Rutgers’ All-
American candidate Denise Kenney was
also unable to help. She was kept to only
eight points, posing no offensive threat.
The Lady Lions had no trouble keeping

Fencegals: Strongest ever
Coach Beth Cramer’s wish came true
Saturday: To start off on the right foot.
The women fencers, however, not only
started the meet right, but also the
entire season; they returned to Happy
Valley with two in the win column,
demolishing Montclair State, 15-1, in the
opener, and then sneaking by Penn-.,
sylvania, 10-6.
“This is probably the strongest team
Penn State has had in a while," Cramer
said. “We are very strong and should
have a good year.;’
Sophomore Judy Smith started in the
first position and won all her matches
against Montclair, as did Wendy
Pashedag and Carol Jursik.
Donna Grischbowski won the two
matches she fenced before being sub-
time for a -total of 24 points. Betty
McGuire also aided in the scoring with 14
points.
“Betty played an excellent game,"
McHugh said. “She is consistent and she
doesn’t lose her cool. ”
However, the Scarlet Knights seemed
to be losing their patience. As the game
progressed the action got more and
more heated.
“There were a lot of things going on
underneath that you don’t like to see,”
Strittmatter said. “But once it starts,
one team-just goes right back to the
other." .
The tension was evident, but the Lady
Lions managed to preserve their lead.
