Japanese hit Rec Hall
By EDSOCHA
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Japan, the team that won the gold
medal in women’s volleyball at the
1976 Olympics without losing a single
match, is bringing its expertise to
Penn State for a match against the
United States team.
The U.S. team, which has never
qualified for Olympic competition,
will take on the current Olympic
champions in a best-of-five-games
match at Rec Hall tonight at 7:30.
Only general admission tickets are
still available. All reserved seats for
the match have been sold out. Prices
for the remaining tickets are $2.50 for
the general public and $l.OO for Penn
State students and children.
Tickets are available at the ticket
office at 237 Rec Hall or can be
purchased at the door.
Despite the success of the Japanese
team in the most recent Olympic
games and the failure of the U.S.
team to qualify for that competition,

expects the 'match to be closely
contested.
“The American team has made
tremendous progress and certainly
ranks among the top ten teams in the
world right now,” said Tait. This is
the only stop in Pennsylvania for the
touring Japanese team.
Tait called the U.S. team’s per
formance against international
powers this summer as proof of the
Americans’ improvement in the
sport. The U.S. team had victories
over Japan, the USSR and Cuba in
tournaments over the past year.
The U.S. team will have an obvious
height advantage over the Japanese
squad, which has only one player
listed on its roster at 5’10”. The U. S.
roster includes 6’5” Flo Hyman and
6’2” Patty Dowdell.
“The Japanese philosophy is that
thfe ball may not touch the floor,” Tait
says. “Height will not be a deciding
factor in the match between these two
teams, despite the Americans’ edge.”
Tait sees Japanese training
methods, discipline and conditioning
as factors in helping them overcome
the size disadvantage they face
against most of their international
competition.
The Americans, coached by Arie
Selinger, are trying to combat the
Japanese advantages with a year
round conditioning program of their
own.
The American touring team
features the top 24 players in the
country.
Dowdell, an All-American since
1973, is also a powerful spiker and is
rated as an outstanding player.
Hyman, in addition to being the
tallest player on the team, also is one
of the team’s most skillful per
formers.
So far on the tour, the Americans
hold a 13-3 advantage in 16 matches.
The exhibition match will be the
closest thing to Olympic-style
volleyball ever played at Penn State.
For those who won’t make it to
Moscow in 1980, it’s probably the next
best thing. ,

Yankees parade down Wall Street
NEW YORK (UPI) Some two
million deliriously happy New York
Yankee fans threw a massive “com
puter card” tickertape parade in the
Wall Street area yesterday for the World
Series champs.
Leaning from windows, sitting atop
traffic lights, crushing police
barricades, they showered their
comeback heroes and the streets

Polomen in
Penn State’s water polo club will
qualify for the league playoffs after this
weekend’s tournament at Monmouth
according to player-coach Brian Keyser.
“The top four teams in the league go to
the championships,” he said, “and we’re
in for sure."
The big reason for Keyser’s con
fidence was his team’s four game sweep
in the first league tournament two weeks
ago( October 6-8).
The Lions defeated Lehigh (17-4), St.
Francis!Brooklyn) (13-12), RPI (17-6)
and John Hopkins (10-7).

The usually pinstriped Yankees,
dressed in unfamiliar civies, blew back
kisses, signed autographs, wagged their
fingers to proclaim their No. 1 status and
prayed that their 650-member police
guard would hold the fans back as the
parade wound its way up Broadway.
At City Hall, more than 20,000 persons
jammed into an area that usually holds
playoffs;
Keyser said the key was the club’s
defense, especially goalie Tom Frazzo,
and defensemen Brian Miller, Jim Ward
and Mike Snyder.
This weekend’s tournament will not be
as easy, according to Keyser. The Lions
play Monmouth, who also are un
defeated in league play, Princeton and
Villanova.
Penn State (7-2 overall; 4-0 league)
played Princeton earlier this season and
dropped an 18-17 decision in overtime.
That game, however, was in an open
tournament which means Princeton was
