a friendly affair
the_ likes of which haven't been seen
since George "The Animal" Steel and
Gorilla Monsoon last met in the Spec
trum.
Don't expect any feelings to be spared
tomorrow either.
Temple will pitch its top right-hander,
7-0 Tom Williams, in the first game and
either 4-2 lefty Gary Enoch or freshman
right-hander Steve Loden in the second
game. •
The Lions will go with their two aces
Dave June and Jim Bennett. Both have
4-1 records and ERAs below 2.00.
Two wins this weekend would be a nice
way for the Lions to finish their road
trip. Especially since they've lost four of
their last six games.
"We haven't been playing that bad,"
said Orwig, the Lions' second leading
hitter. "We're just not getting the hits we
need at the right time. I'm not too
worried about it."
If things go well tomorrow, he may not
have any worries at all.
NOTES: Bill Benner still leads the
Lions in hitting with a .365 average.

For several members of the women's track team, the Lady
j a tion Invitational at 10 tomorrow morning at the Nittany Lion
Track has some significance it will give them one more
opportunity to qualify for the national championships in two
weeks at Eugene, Ore. ,
Freshman Vivian Riddick, who has been hampered by shin
splints, is one Lady Lion who hasn't qualified yet, but she
hopes to change that tomorrow.
"The meet means a lot to me," Riddick said. "I would really
like to qualify.
"If I don't qualify then I'll really feel bad because I was able
to qualify during the indoor season but not outdoors. I think my
best chance to qualify is in the long jump."
Lady Lions who have already qualified for the Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women championships are

Penn State coach Gary Schwartz believes that the In
vitational is important in two respects.
"It will be a quality type of meet," Schwartz said. "Most
teams will either be attempting to qualify people or trying to
keep their people sharp for the nationals. Individuals only
have this weekend and next to qualify."
So far, five teams Morgan State, Howard University, John
Hopkins, Frostburg State and the Kettering Striders from
Dayton, Ohio—will compete in the meet.
But Schwartz said he is expecting a lot of last minute calls to
come in from other teams.
The meet will feature 20 events, but Schwartz still hasn't
reached a decision yet on who will be participating in which
event for the Lady Lions.
"I'm not sure what events our kids will be running in yet,"
he said. "It will all depend on whose going to show up.,"

Temple no easy win for netmen
The men's tennis team will have to be
wiser than owls in order to beat its op
ponent Sunday.
The Lions will travel to Temple to play
the Owls, a team which in the past has
given them problems.
"We've had troubles with Temple,"
Penn State coach Holmes Ca thrall said.
"(Bill) Schmucker lost A couple of times
there and (Bill) Schilling lost to a guy
there. They're gonna be up for us."
The Owls have a reputation of being
wise in more than one way.
"I think Temple is real tough,"
Schilling said. "They try to mess up your
head. We have to be prepared for
anything. We will all have to play really
PITTSBURGH (AP) The Pitt
sburgh Penguins yesterday fired
coach Johnny Wilson, whose National
Hockey League club faltered in mid
season and ended up 13th in the
standings.
"The Penguins did not play the kind
of hockey the last half of the season
that they had the potential of
playing," Penguin president and
board chairman Vincent J. Bartimo
said in announcing that Wilson's
contract would not be renewed.
"The record has to be laid at
Wilson's door, though he was not
totally to blame. Unfortunately, the
coach has to accept the respon
sibilities for his team's shortcomings.
"We have the highest personal
regard for John and his coaching
ability. A change, however, was felt

well to win."
Although Penn State has consistently
beaten Temple since the series began in
1977, it has never been an easy win.
"The past two years have been really
close," co-captain Schmucker said.
"Most, of the guys we know of are good
solid players. HarveyFleegler (Temple
coach) builds this up to be their biggest
match."
Last year, the Owls came to Penn
State and lost to the Lions, 5-4. The loser
of the deciding match threw his rackets
over the fence and broke the latch on the
gate. ,
This season the Owls have dropped
only one match in the East Coast Con-

The Penguins ended the regular

Boston in the first round of the
Stanley Cup playoffs.
Bartimo said a successor to Wilson
hasn't been selected. A replacement
is expected to be named soon.
Although Wilson does not have a
contract for the coming season,
Bartimo said he will be paid a full
salary if he doesn't get a job with
another team.
Wilson's 22-year-old son, Kelly,
said his father was vacationing in
Florida.
Asked by the Pittsburgh Press how
his father would react to the news,
young Wilson said: "He'd be glad to
get out of the city. The fans are
terrible around here. This is a foot
ball city."
