Five trackwomen to run
Five members of the women’s track team will compete in
the Amateur Athletic Union Indoor. Nationals Feb. 23 at

the girls to high levels of competition.
‘‘Our girls will be competing against top athletes in the
country,” Brooks said. “We’re just going to try and make the
finals.”

morning of the competition. A few runners with the best times
from each trial get to compete in the finals.-
The five Lady Lions competing will be Sandy Miller, Patty
Mufnane, Tina Leatherman, Penny Fales and Lea Ventura.
They have all participated in this meet before.
“I just hope to do well,” Fales said. “Being in the first four
or top three in the finals would be really good.” Fales finished
sixth in the finals last year.

in Nationals
with teammates Ventura, Miller and Fales said their best time
this season was five seconds faster than last year.
“That should give us a pretty good seed in the heats,” she
said, “but in a meet of such high caliber our main goal is to
make the finals.”
Miller will be going to a meet at West Point Sunday to try to
qualify for the 800 meter event. She’s one tenth of a second
from qualification.
“I’m pretty confident that I’ll qualify this time,” Miller said.
Assistant coach Carolyn Court agrees that Miller should
have no trouble making qualifying time.
Mary Rawe, who has to better her time by four seconds to
qualify for the 1500 meter event at the AAU, will also be going
to West Point.
“She has a good shot at qualifying,” Miller said. “It’s only a
matter of four seconds.”

Haddix to serve as
Pirate pitching coach
PITTSBURGH (AP) Former Pitt
sburgh Pirate pitcher Harvey Haddix
will return to the team this season as
pitching coach.
The appointment was announced
Tuesday after' poor health prevented
Don Osborn from taking the job vacated
by Larry Sherry, who joined hhe
California Angels.
Haddix, 53, who played in the major
leagues 15 years with St. Louis,
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, was a
Pirate pitcher in May 1959 when he
retired 36 consecutive Milwaukee
Braves’ batters.
The record still stands, but Haddix and
the Pirates lost the game on a hit by Joe
Adcock in the 13th inning.
Haddix was a pitching 'coach for the
Cleveland Indians from 1974-1978 and
prior to that with the New York Mets,
Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Red Sox.

Carbon House wins dorm crown
With experience on its side, Carbon
House of East’s McKean Hall defeated
Washington (Devo) House of Beaver
Hall, 39-25, last night in Rec Hall to take
the Intramural Dormitory Basketball
Championship.
After being in the play-offs for the past
four years, and losing in the semi-finals
last year, Carbon’s practices paid off.
The East Halls teams led 17-13 at
halftime, and continued to wear down its
opponents as the second half resumed.
“Our strategy was to run the ball as
much as possible, and just tire them
out,” Carbon’s co-captain Jim Brizek
said.
“This is pretty much the same team as
we had last year,” Carbon’s co-captain
Tom Thimons said.
The Washington, team, on the other
hand, had a majority of freshmen
playing.
High scorer in the game was Carbon
House’s Paul Tomasofsky who con
tributed 23 points to his team’s winning
cause.

The Vectors, comprised of philosophy
and anthropology grad students, were
led by a 13-point effort from Denny
Landine, 12 points from Len Ortmann
and eight points from captain Tom
Melancon.
Melancon credited his team’s victory
to tough workouts and hard work. He
said he thought his team’s strength
came from “ team play.”
It was the inside game against the
outside and the strong versus the fast in
last night’s fraternity basketball- final
between Phi Gamma Delta and Kappa
Alpha Psi.
Phi Gamma Delta took advantage of
its huge size advantage and defeated
Kappa Alpha Psi, 44-32. Kappa Alpha Psi
used good outside shooting to jump to a
first half lead, 17-15. The second half was
a little different.
“We were a little shaky in the first
half,” said Phi Gamma Delta leading
scorer Mike Guman. “In the second half
we settled down. We knew we could go
inside.”

Phi Gamma Delta’s front line con
sisted of Guman, Bucko Stewart, and 6-2,
260 pound power forward Bruce Clark.
