Lady golfers shoot
to make the top 15
By TODD LIGHTY
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
What the women’s golf team could
use more than anything else this
weekend is a case of Sure an
tiperspirant.
The Lady Lions will be competing
in one of the most prestigous tour
naments in the country today,
tomorrow and Sunday at the
Women’s Southern Intercollegiate
Championships at Athens, Ga., and
Penn State coach Annette Thompson
said they must be “cool, calm and
collective.”
Eighteen of the top teams in the
country will be among the 27 teams
slated to play in the tournament. This
is a major obstacle the Lady Lions
must overcome.
After the first two rounds are
played today and tomorrow, the field
will be narrowed down to the 15 teams
with the lowest scores for the com
petition Sunday.
“I think our main objective,”
Thompson said, “is simply this it is
a tournament wherewe face top
competition, which puts a Jot of
pressure on our team, so we are not
trying to look ahead.
“It’s a different course, we know

that. It is within the realm of
possibility that we can make it into
the top 15 for Sunday’s competition.
On almost any given day we can beat
12 of the 27 teams; we have done it
before. However, if we can beat them
again remains to be seen.”
To help Thompson achieve her
objective of making it into the top 15
teams, she is taking five talented
Lady Lions. Leading the Lady Lions
into action will be senior captain
Sally Slater, junior Lynn Marriott
and freshmen Jane Abood, Anne
Holmes and Ellen Black.
Thompson said she expects top
competition to come from San Jose
and Georgia, but she believes the
Lady Lions are ready to meet the
challenge. The tournament marks the
end of the Lady Lions’ regular
season, and they would like nothing
more than to finish the season on an
impressive note.
Thompson thinks the Lady Lions
are as ready as they’ll ever be for the
southern tournament, but they have
one main game plan to follow.
“Our key is very simple,”
Thompson said. “We have to go down
and play every shot and not be
guessing.”

Hofstra test of stickmen's prog re
By BOBGROVE

*■ Now past the halfway point in its
season, the men’s lacrosse team’s
fortunes continue to look up. The Lions
(4-2) have an excellent chance of
reaching Penn State coach Glenn Thiel’s
preseason goal of six victories.
Hofstra, on the other hand, is suffering
through a rather lackluster season. It
has lost five of its first eight games and
so far has been unable to play the tough,
physical game it’s beeTi noted for.
These two teams, seemingly headed in
different directions, will square off at
7:30 tomorrow night at Hofstra in a
game Thiel hopes will manifest the
Lions’ belief that they can play even with
anyone.
“The kids have always believed they
could play with the good teams,” Thiel
said. “But before, we only had the idea
we could play with them. Now we know
it.”
Thiel is referring to the Lions’ per
formances against Syracuse and
Rutgers, two powerful teams which
handed Penn State its only losses this
year. The 7-6 loss to Rutgers last
weekend was a heartbreaker, but junior
defenseman John Farrell doesn’t see it
as adversely affecting the Lions.
“There’s no doubt that it was a tough
game to lose,” Farrell said. “But the
attitude is very positive. It can only
serve to make us want to win even more.
We see how it is to win, and we like it. ”
Thiel said he hopes the Lions will

Thinclads set for Relays

This year’s men’s, field for the
prestigious Penn Relays sounds like
something out of the Six Million

and faster than ever before.

Penn State coach Harry Groves
said the competition this year, which
will be held at Franklin Field in
Philadelphia this weekend, is the best
he has ever seen.

t “This is the best meet ever in
quality,” Groves said. “Every event
is stacked to the hilt. Nobody will be
able to dominate down there.”
The Lions will be entering a full
team this year. This is the 86th year
for the Penn Relays.
Penn State’s distance medley team
taf Larry Mangan, Paul Lankford,
Mike Cook and Alan Scharsu, which
set a new school record of 9:34.67 for
the event at the Dogwood Relays two
weeks ago, should prove to be very
competitive in the meet.
But for the Lions to be successful in
the race, Scharsu must be able to
bounce back after running the 5,000
meters last night. Scharsu will also
run a leg on the 4x1,500-meter relay
team in the meet.
“It doesn’t matter if you double
up,” Groves said. “Everybody is

The Lions will also enter the sprint
relay team of Vern Lucas, Tom
Walchuk, Mike McCahill and Gary
Black. Penn State holds the sixth
fastest time in the nation so far this
season (3:18.9) in this event.
However, Lankford and Mangan, who
helped post this time, will not run in
the event at Penn.
“We’re not going to be able to run in
all of the relays,” Groves said. “It’s
just too many events for Lankford.”
Another top relay entry for Penn
Statewill be in the 4x1,500 meters
where the team of Cook, Tom Rapp,
Scharsu and Mangan will duel it out
with Villanova, one of the pre-meet
favorites, and a large field of
nationally-ranked teams.
“This event is just so stacked,”
Groves said. “Villanova’s Don Paige
is a very prominent factor. I can’t see
anybody beating him on any leg. •
“The rest of their guys can be
coped with, but he’s just so good. I’ll
be glad to see him graduate.”
The Lions’ other relay entries will
be Lucas, Walchuk, McCahill and
Lankford in the .4x400-meter relay
and Rick Garcia, Jeff Adkins, Cook
and Rapp in the 4xBoo-meter relay.

said. “We’re trying to stay
nationally-ranked in two of them and
to do it, we’ve got to make it this
weekend.”
In individual events, Penn State
will enter Lankford in the 400-meter
intermediate hurdles and possibly the
110-meter high hurdles; Adkins at
5,000 meters; world-class
steeplechaser Mangan in the 3,000-
meter steeplechase; and Jim
Clelland at 10,000 meters.
In the field events, the Lions will
enter Jay Behm and John Rosella in
the javelin; Todd Shenk and Mike
Valenti in the discus and shot put;
Bill Carroll and Don Skerpon in the
pole vault; Dave Devito and Paul
Souza in the high jump; DeVito in the
long jump; and Ed Roskiewicz in the
triple jump.
Groves is looking forward to the
meet and is hoping the Lions can do
well, but he is being realistic.
“Anybody who thinks they can be
dominant at a meet like this is totally
remote you can’t dominate
anything,” Groves said.
“Everybody’s going to be there
except for UTEP, UCLA, USC and a
few other quality teams from out
west. Everybody’s got somebody
nowadays, where in the past there
used to be three teams with
everybody.”

Netmen nip tenacious Huskies
ByCAROL BROWN
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Here’s . a variation on the old
junk/treasure cliche: One man’s curse
is another man’s good luck charm.
The little bit of rain that sprinkled on
the outdoor tennis courts yesterday
worked like a charm for the men’s tennis
team but cursed the Bloomsburg squad,
as Penn State nipped Bloomsburg, 5-4.
At the end of singles competition,
which was played under partly sunny
skies, Penn State was down 4-2 in what
was shaping up to be a big upset. A loss
to Bloomsburg would be a first for the
Lions. The only singles wins the Lions
could muster came from the Nos. 3 and 5
spots.
No. 3 Don Lowry beat Craig Die.hl, 6-4,
4-6,6-2, and No. 5 Bill Schmucker won, 6-
3,3-6,6-3, against Steve Bleckschmidt.
Schmucker was also successful in No.
3 doubles, teaming with Tom Beckhard
to win in straight sets.
The Lions’ Nos. 1 and 2 doubles ap
peared not to be as lucky as they split the
first two sets.
But then the rains came. Not much,
but just enough to soak the courts and
force the match indoors.
“We just don’t play indoors,”
Bloomsburg assistant coach Jim
Hollister said. “We practice outside all
the time. I was the one who wanted to
continue playing outside unless it got
really rainy or windy.”
Once inside, No. 2 doubles Bill
Schilling and Don Lowry made the score
4-4 by narrowly defeating Diehl and
Marty Coyne, 6-4,4-6,7-5.
So if the Lions were to win, it was up to
the No. 1 duo of Tim McAvoy and Jon
Whiteside.
Bloomsburg wanted the win very
much perhaps too much as the
pressure came down on Huskies No. 1
team of Rob Vance and Ken Grove.
“I think they were overanxious,”
Hollister said. “I wanted them to be
anxious, but not so much that they would
choke. There were two match points that
they didn’t capitalize on. I’d have to say
they were too anxious. ”
But McAvoy and Whiteside were as
determined as the Huskies were
anxious. Both Lions had lost their singles
matches in three sets and McAvoy’s loss
was probably the biggest upset of the
afternoon.
Vance,McAvoy’s opponent in singles,
was also McAvoy’s doubles partner
during high school. As high school
sophomores, McAvoy and Vance won the
state doubles championship. In college,
Vance had never beaten McAvoy until
yesterday.
“After losing to him (Vance), he
(McAvoy) was pretty down,” Cathrall
said. “Finally in the second set (of
doubles) they (McAvoy and Whiteside)
got together to fight.”
While the pressure only hindered the
Huskies, it helped the Lions. McAvOy
and Whiteside came back from a 4-2
game deficit in the third set to win the
The Daily Collegian Friday, April 25,1980 —9
match, 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5-2 in the
tiebreaker).
“Coming inside didn’t change the way
they played that much," Whiteside said.
“They were anxious and tried to hit
winners all the time. We just kept the
ball in play.”
The battle that Bloomsburg put up
came as no surprise to Cathrall.
“They were absolutely everything I
expected them to be,” he said. “This is
the best Bloomsburg team I’ve seen.”
Bloomsburg squad is very different
this season from the squad Penn State
defeated 8-1 last year. Bloomsburg has a
13-3 record, including impressive wins
over Temple (7-2) and Cornell (6-3). It is
also the Eastern College Athlelic Con
ference Division II champs and expects
a bid to nationals.
“This is by far the best Bloomsburg
team we’ve ever had," Hollister said.
“It has more depth and is much
stronger. If we don’t get a bid to
nationals, we will definitely raise the
roof.”
If the team does get the bid, (here is
still one thing it will not have this season
and that’s its first win against the Lions.
“This would have been a very big
upset,” Hollister said. “It would have
been our Gentle Thursday, that’s for
sure.”
The Lions will not even get a gentle
Friday. They take on Maryland at 3 this
afternoon at the Nittanv Courts.
“This match should be even tougher,"
Ca thrall said.
