Menhardt: Two in one

There was a time in collegiate sports

It's not unusual for State fans to watch

"They wanted somebody who had
some experience to step in after they
both left, so by coming here I was more
or less killing two birds with one stone,"
Menhai•dt said, referring to the fact that
he would also play soccer.
How do coaches Joe Paterno and
Walter Bahr react to Menhardt's playing
both sports?
"It's got to be tough," Paterno said.
"The mental approach is different. What
he's got to do with us is an individual
thing. When you are as active as Herb is
in soccer, it's tough to come over and
practice with us. He's very tired
sometimes when he comes over after
soccer practice."
Bahr said that Menhardt's versatility
makes him a valuable member of the
soccer team.
"In fairness to him we've jockeyed
him around a lot using him at striker,
forward and wing," Bahr said. "He
gives us a little bit of muscle up front and
he's a hard-working player. He doesn't
give up on plays; he doesn't shy away."
Bahr said he doesn't know if Menhardt
will continue to split duties between the
football and soccer teams next season,
after placekicker Matt Bahr graduates.
"It has been done in the past, but we're
not going to know until next year if he
can help us and the football team," he
said.

Ramsey a winner in two sports

Gail Ramsay is another athlete who
often fails to receive recognition. In two
sports tennis and squash.
The No. 2 Lady Lion tennis player was
introduced to a squash racquet at age
eight by her father. Since then she has
worked on both games and is the
defending women's intercollegiate
squash champion. Ramsay will attempt
to capture her third straight title
achieved only once before by an ex-
Princeton player in 1972-74 later this
winter. And her brother Bill also is a
noted squash player, ranked fourth
nationally in the 19 and under division.
Ramsay by no means limited her
interest in racquet sports to just squash.
At age 10 she entered her first tennis
tournament.
"Squash and tennis mean a lot to me,"
Ramsay said. "I like them both about
the same, except when I'm playing
badly in one, or if I'm in a rut. Then I
don't like it."
Oddly enough, the Bala Cynwyd
native, who owns career marks of 19-5 in
singles and 18-7 in doubles, played
hockey and lacrosse, not tennis, in high
school.

That didn't hinder her collge per
formance, however. She broke into the
line-up at the No. 5 spot as a freshman
before moving up to the No. 4 position in
her sophomore gear, then this season to
No. 2, where she sports a perfect 4-0
record.
"Gail has risen to that position (No. 2)
beautifully," coach Candy Royer said.
"She is one of the most willing workers
and she puts out 100 percent every
practice."
Ramsay somehow has the energy to
give her total self at every practice
and squash and tennis are a year round
occupation for her.
As soon as the Salisbury Invitational is
over (Oct. 27-29), Ramsay will begin
practicing squash. Tennis resumes in
January so she will have to split her time
between the two sports until the tour
nament ends. After the Collegiates, she
will once again be able to devote her
time to tennis.
But it doesn't bother her.
"If I don't play I feel really guilty,"
Ramsay said. "I don't ,have to do as
much on my own because there's a lot of
conditioning in tennis that helps out in
