—The Daily Collegian Friday, March 9, 1979 Rooker: to Pirate fortunes BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) It's clear to Pittsburgh Pirate Jim Rooker what is needed to nose out Philadelphia in the National League East this season. "Defense. If we don't have defense, we might as well pack up and go home," he said at the Pirates' training camp here ,earlier this week. Mistakes and bobbles hindered the Pirates in their quest for a pennant last year and the club finished 1 1 / 2 games behind the Phillies. "We had quite a few disappointments last year. We can't wait until July or August to start playing ball. This year, we've got to come out smoking right away, quit fooling around, develop the right attitude," the 36-year-old left hander said. It is a widely held view that the Phillies will leave Pittsburgh in a cloud of dust this year unless the Pirates get off to a solid start. "The Phils can put eight better players out there every day than we can, no question. "We can't afford to play defense like Jacobson paces keglers .!

We simply can't do that anymore," Rooker said, adding that he doesn't think Montreal is that far behind. "It takes balance to keep one team running away with it and we have to stay close to have a shot," he said. Philadelphia's acquisition of Pete Rose and Manny Trillo may make the pursuit a little harder. "The only thing that's going to help us is if their pitching doesn't hold up. That's their biggest weakness," Rooker said. "Our bench is stronger than it's been in four or five years, but myself and a couple of other guys have to do the job we're expected to do," he said. Rooker is in his ninth season' as a major leaguer and his sixth with Pitt sburgh. Last year, he turned in his fewest wins since becoming a Pirate, pitching nine wins and 11 losses. The previous season, however, he was the club's second leading winner with a 14-9 record. He missed a chance for a 15th win when his right arm was frac tured in a September auto accident. "If it wasn't for Jacques' 280 game we never would have qualified," Long said. In the final round, Penn State scored an 819, 668, and a 757. Long had the high series, average and game with a 634, 211 and 266, respectively. Penn State also sent a women's doubles team to the tournament. Lady Lions' April Long and Liz Baudy placed second behind a team from William and Patterson. Long bowled a 488 for three games while Baudy rolled a 480. The women's team bowls this weekend at the Robin Lanes Classic at Marshall University. April Long, Heidi Derk, Valerie Bright, 'Paula Richley and Tina Clark will represent the Lady Lions. —by Caryl Kaufman ; as ' , ANS) v '4 A^:k j ‘ 4 , 144. .44 N0!.31, ~, t i ; . ~.i `> .. > 1~ UPI wlrephoto Wayne Levi displays his emotions after a putt on the final hole of first-round play in the Inverrary Golf Classic, held in Lauderhill, Fla. yesterday.

Levi's 6-under ties for Inverrary lead LAUDERHILL, Fla. (AP) Wayne Levi fired a 6-under-par 66 and tied veteran Tommy Aaron for the ,first round lead yesterday in the $300,000 Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic. Aaron, a former Masters champ who has endured a long, dismal slump, birdied four holes in a row over one stretch and played his back nine in 31. "It was a tough day to play," Aaron said of the gusty, whipping winds that kicked up in the afternoon. "I'm ex tremely pleased with my score." Aaron, who celebrated his 42nd bir thday on the same date Feb. 23 that Levi celebrated his 26th, said he's "playing better than any times since '73. I'm swinging better, but mostly it's a matter of confidence and having patience with myself. And, when you shoot a few good scores, that tends to build confidence." Larry Nelson was 1 shot back at 67. The group at 68, 4 under par on the 7,127- yard Inverrary Country Club course, included British Ryder Cup player Mark James, Australian veteran Bruce Devlin and former Masters winner Charles Coody. At 69 were Ray Floyd, Tom Purtzer, Mark Hayes, Jim Simons and U.S. Open champ Andy North. Jack Nicklaus, winner of the last three tournaments on this course, shot a disappointing 74 that left him 8 strokes off the pace. "Just nothing happened," Nicklaus 50,000 Summer Job Openings!
