Preseason questions look like they are answered
By JERRY MICCO
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
After 60 minutes of playing time, the
doubts were replaced , by confidence.
All the preseason hoopla about the
Penn State offense being one big series
of question marks gave its critics all
they could handle Saturday.
"We just seemed to come together this
week," Penn State quarterback Dayle
Tate said about the Lions' offensive unit.
"We came out and started working hard
and practicing hard. The offense was
waiting to see how we would do. We
knew we had a lot of potential."
The "coming together" of the of
fensive unit paid off in 449 yards total
offense for the Lions as they ran and
passed over what was to be a solid
Rutgers defensive unit.
No matter how well the offense played
Saturday, Penn State coach Joe Paterno
remained cautious as usual.
"We tried to be as poised as we could
(on offense)," Paterno said. "We have
an inexperienced line and only one
inexperienced wideout (Mike Guman).
It's a young squad and we want to bring
it along step-by-step."
One big question, mark answered
Saturday was Tate's ability to run the
Lions' offense. The junior from An
nandale, Va., showed complete con
fidence in himself after six of 10 passes
for 112 yards, including two touchdowns
and one interception.
"I think I showed I can throw the ball
on occasion," Tate said. "I was excited
about being on the button.
"Thet'e's more things tO our offense.
We had a good opener and we learned
some things, but we have, a long way to
go."
Paterno praised his new quarterback,
but not only for his passing.
Booters' scoring barrage results in split
By TIM BEIDE', .
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
The men's soccer team scored two
goals in its first two games this
season not exactly an auspicious
debut.
The Lions busted out' of it this
weekend, scoring seven goals in their
two games, but even that didn't solve
all the problems.
If the goals would have been spread
out a little more, Penn State would be
3-0-1. But five goals on Friday and
two goals yesterday in a 3-2 loss to
Rhode Island resulted in a weekend
split, and the Lions will now have to
be content with just a winning record.
Friday night's shutout of Long
Island was an impressive display of
explosiveness, as the Lions scored all
five of 'their goals' in• the• last' thirty
minutes of the game; and three of the
goals were from non-starters.
"It was just great coaching," Penn
State coach Walt Bahr said with a
laugh. "I put in a couple of subs, and
they came right in and scored."
Nigel Munyati, Dan Murphy and
Robert Cunningham . came off the
pine to'score, with Cunningham's and
Murphy's goals being the first two
goals in the game.
"We never expected a 5-0 game,"
Long Island coach Arnold Ramirez
said. "It was a pretty good game in
the first half."
The first half was played mostly at
midfield, with Penn State taking the
edge, though not a clear one, as the
half developed.
"I thought that we had taken
control of the game after the first ten
minutes," Bahr said. "We dominated

"Dayle is a smart, smooth, excellent
ball handler," Paterno said. "He doesn't
have a super arm, but it's good."
Saturday also opened a new chapter in
the Lions' offensive playbook. It marked
the first appearance in recent memory
of an option-type offense that most
people are accustomed to seeing at
Oklahoma and Texas.
One key to that option is how well the
quarterback runs the ball. And when
that quarterback is someone who has
had to sit out the past two seasons with
injuries, it could tend to make him
gunshy. But not Tate. '
"I'm not too tremendous a runner, but
I can move the ball upfield," Tate said.
"If you do things with intensity in
practice, you will play the game with
intensity."
Offensive captain Iry Pankey, along
with many other players, was pleased
with the offensive line, one which opened
enough holes to allow Lion runners to
total 324 yards rushing.
"We did a very good job and we
worked well together," Pankey said.
"We just tried to blow people off the
line."
As much running as the Lions did
against the Knights, there was little need
to pass. The newest member of the Penn
State receiving corps, Mike Guman,
explained the rationale behind the game
plan.
"We didn't throw too much today,"
said Guman, the tailback-turned
flanker. "We wanted to execute to see
how our offense was. We wanted to see
how we were in a game."
Guman, who has played three dif
ferent positions in four years, was not an
important part of the Penn State attack
Saturday, but Paterno isn't writing him
off.
Late game ball control enabled the Lion soccer team to erupt for five goals during the last 30 minutes in a 5-0 whitewash over
Long Island Friday night. The Lions were not so fortunate yesterday as they dropped a 3-2 decision at Rhode Island.
after that. We were happy to keep
even with them in the first half."
Long Island seemed to have the
edge in team speed, but they Couldn't
use it to any great advantage, much
to Bahr's enjoyment.
"We have some spots where I'm
concerned with our speed," he said.
"But they didn't burn us all night."

"Guman can do a lot of things for us,"
Paterno said. "You'll see more of him
offensively; he's smart and adaptable."
One final question mark answered
Saturday was how well the patched-up
defensive secondary will hold up. It was
burned only once when flanker DaVe
Dorn grabbed a 72-yard third quarter
scoring strike from quarterback Ed
McMichael.
Bahr was happy that the Lions
scored first, even though it was an
hour into the contest.
"We were concerned with not
allowing them to score first," he said.
"They wouldn't sit back and play
defense, they would play with con
fidence."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Barefoot
booter Tony Franklin said he had no
problems with rookie jitters as he kicked
the four field /goals that provided the
winning margin - in the Philadelphia
Eagles' 26-14 : victory over New 'Orleans
in a National Football League game
yesterday. i
"I .just wanted to put points on the
board wheh we needed it," the third
round draft choice said after the game.
Eagles coach Dick Vermeil said he
was somewhat upset by the number of
penalties/ called against his team. The
Eagles were assessed 66 yards on nine
penaltiOs most of them for holding.
"I think there'd have been a lot more
sacks if they'd called , holding. The
amount of holding on Claude Humphrey
was unbelievable," he said.
"I was so disappointed with all those
penalties. It was unbelievable."
Vermeil said his quarterback, Ron
Jaworski, came up with the big plays
when they were needed.
"He came up with a big run to keep a
drive alive, and he came up with some
big completions," he said.
"He did a super job.
Saints coach Dick Nolan rattled off the
reasons for his team's third straight
defeat.
"No pass protection, missed tackles,
dropped passes, and penalties killed us,"
he said. "We had no consistent pass
rush."
Jaworski threw for 181 yards, con
necting on 12 of 23 attempts, including a
26-yarder to Wilbert Montgomery for a
second quarter touchdown.
Franklin's field goals were good for 24
yards in the first quarter, 36 yards in the
second quarter, 19 yards in the third, and
44 yards in the final period.
New Orleans got its first score on the
final play of the first half, a 52-yard pass
play from Manning to wide receiver Wes
Chandler. .•
The other touchdown came on a one

Tenniswomen host gutsy Lock Haven
By GLENN KAUP
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Ater last Thursday's landslide victory
over Syracuse, the women's tennis' team
has to be wary of a gutsy Lock Haven
squad at 3 p.m. today at home.
"In the past, we have always beaten
Lock Haven," women's tennis coach
Candy Royer said. "But they have
always pulled out some exceptional
players in the lineup. Their team is not
that highly skilled, but they have always
been a team that hustles.
"Physically, they are in good con
dition," she said. "Their players always
play and move well, so we can't discount
them as a team."
(24) is too little too late as Philadelphia's Charles Smith leaps to haul in a 39-yard pass
up a second quarter field goal as the Eagles went on to defeat the Saints 29-14.
"We didn't do as well in the C
division," Holmes said.
The Lion's John Whiteside had a first
round loss while Tom Beckhard won one
match before he was beaten by the C
division wine er, • ,
In the doubles competition, McAvoy
and Whiteside lost to Hampton In
stitute's Clark and Moral Harmon 6-4, 6-
4 in the A division.
The Lady Lions opened their fall
season last year with a 9-0 victory over
Lock Haven.
"Chances are that Lock Haven has a
better team than last year," Royer said.
"But I don't know of anybody right
now."
Starting for Lock Haven in the No. 1
spot is senior Cathy Peterman, the
Pennsylvania conference singles
champion. Peterman has an overall
record of 25-4 and posted a 11-2 record in
singles matches last year. She com
