Penn State sophomore Mike Doherty made the most of his first starting assignment at 150 pounds, beating Michigan's Tim
Fagan, 8-7, to help the Lions defeat the Wolverines, 22-20, last night at Rec Hall.
Matmen edge Michigan, 22-20
By JEFF SCHULER
Daily, Collegian Sports Writer •
It's hard to believe that the wrestling
team that took the mat last night against
Michigan was the same team that was
body-slammed by Cal Poly last Thurs
day night, Except for two exceptions, the
lineup was the same. Only this time the
result was different.
The Lions scored 19 takedowns last
night they had only nine against Cal
Poly and edged the Wolverines 22-20
before 508 noisy fans in Rec Hall.
"This was a big win for us," Penn
State wrestling coach Rich Lorenzo said.
"We came back from the pits (Cal Poly).
To see the team turn around over the
weekend is really encouraging.
"There's some real pride on this team.
It hurt to see people walking out from the
stands (as they did in the Cal Poly
match). That's going to stick out in the
kids mind more than the loss."!
Lion co-captain Bernie Fritz, who
helped the cause with a 10-6 decision
over Mark Pearson, said the Lions
'Little Lock Haven' to host Lady Lions

coached and I know the type of program they are working on
top 20. We're just little Lock Haven.
"Don't get me wrong, we're excited to play them. We're op
timistic to a point. But realistically, just looking at the lineup,
you can make your own judgment. We're not harboring any
great illusions."
Portland, on the other hand, is confident. And she has reason
to be. The Lady Lions (3-1) have five players 6-foot or taller,
compared to two for the Lady Eagles.
"We are going to use this game as a confidence builder,"
Portland said, "for people who lost it during the (Pittsburgh)
tournament or who never had the chance to gain any."
• Portland said she is looking for more consistency from her
players, who won two of their three games at last weekend's
tournament to finish third out of eight teams.

"would like to forget Cal Poly
"That was not indicative of Penn State
wrestling," he said. "We made up for it
tonight."
Although the Lions (1-1) jumped off to
a 16-6 lead after the first five bouts,
Michigan (1-1) had a chance to pull it out
in the final two. The Wolverines cut the
lead to 19-15 heading into the 190-pound
bout, with' Big 10 and Penn State Invita
tional champion Eric Klassen waiting at
heavyweight. But Joel Johnson came up
with a 6-0 win over Dean Rechberger,
putting the match out of reach for
Michigan.
Michigan took the first bout, with Joe
McFarland pinning Scott Webster at
4:42. But the Lions came back, winning
at 126 (John Manotti by disqualifica-
tion), at 134 (Bob Bury), at 142 (Fritz),
and at 150 (Mike Doherty).
Doherty provided the Lions with a big
boost. The sophomore, making his first
start of the year, came up with a big
third period to decision Tim Fagan, 8-7.
Lorenzo said Doherty earned the start

Portland is pleased with the overall play of the Lady Lions
and said many people are making important contributions.
• "Positions are always open," she said. "And that's fair. If
you give it all you got, then you have that position. If you want
it, you have to earn it. And it makes practices a lot more
interesting." .
Portland said she sees the upcoming week as pivotal for the
Lady Lions they could be 6-1 by the time it's over.
"We can rebound after a loss," she said, refering to the fact
that Penn State defeated DePaul after it suffered its firSt loss

"We liked what we saw of him," said
Lorenzo, "and the way he wrestled in

type we wanted; he doesn't muscle like

turned out, it was enough.
"We got a big lift from Manotti."
Johnson said. "Another big plus was

Gagers face Nebraska
By RICH SCARCELLA
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
When a square dance begins, the pairs
usually prance through their do-si-dos in
a festive mood, keeping in step with the
instructions of the caller and the sound
of the fiddle.
However, the host of the ho-down at
8:35 tonight at the Devaney Sports
Center in Lincoln, Neb., won't be frolick-
ing since Nebraska has been out-of step
since the basketball season started.
After three straight losses, the Cor
nhuskers will be after their first win of
the season when they entertain the
men's basketball team (3-0).
Besides suffering those losses, the
Huskers were also dealt a tragic blow
when their head coach of 17 seasons, Joe
Cipriano, died on Nov. 25, three days
before Nebraska's season opener
against Wyoming.
"I'm sure Joe's death didn't help us
starting the season," Nebraska's new
head coach Moe Iba said. "Losing Andre
Smith hurt more than anything else,
though."
The Buskers fell to Wyoming in over
time, 62-59, and a day later lost to Idaho,
64-53.
"I would feel much better if they had
won three games," Penn State coach
Dick Harter said. "They had good
reason for losing their first three games
with the death of their coach. I wish they
were 3-0. They tell me Smith's an
outstanding player."
Smith, a 6-7 senior center who was a
unanimous first-team All-Big Eight
choice last year, sprained his right ankle
early in the second half of the Wyoming
game.
He didn't return to the lineup until
Saturday.night, when Nebraska dropped
another overtime decision, 66-61, to
cross-state rival Creighton.
"We were prepared for Wyoming,
Idaho and Creighton, also," Iba said.
"This game is very important. We need
a win. We're disappointed after a slow
start. The confidence factor might be
bad. We've played well. We just got
beat."
Even though the Nittany Lions are not
in such dire straits for a victory after
three successive wins, they are in the
midst of their most challenging stretch
of games.
"It's very important," Harter said. "It
will set the stage for East Carolina and
that'll ; give
,tis -flve (5-Q) going intolhe
real tough games next week against
Syracuse and Rutgers."
Penn State has utilized its size and
strength advantage in chalking up wins
over Ursinus, Indiana State and
Southern Methodist.
With the Huskers sporting a lineup of
Smith, 6-6 forward Jerry Shoecraft, 6-2
forward Greg Downing, 6-3 guard Ray
Collins and 5-9 guard Jack Moore, the
Lions should be able to continue that in
side domination.
"We have the size edge," Harter said.
"There are some tough matchups.
Dickie (Mumma) is going to have to play
another player that's quicker than he
is."

Miami dims Patriot playoff hopes
MIAMI (AP) Uwe von Schamann's
third field goal of the game, a 23-yarder
3:20 into overtime, lifted the Miami
Dolphins to a 16-13 upset of New England
last night and dealt a serious blow to the
Patriots' chances for a National Football
League playoff berth.
Von Schamann's game-winning kick
was set up by a 54-yard pass play from
rookie quarterback David Woodley to
wide receiver Duriel Harris.
Shortly after the Dolphins took the
opening kickoff in the overtime period,
Harris made a leaping catch over
Patriots free safety Tim Fox at the New
England 10-yard line and stumbled to the
5.
The victory improved the Dolphins'
record to 7-7, while the Patriots dropped
to 8-6 two games off the pace set by
Buffalo, the AFC East leaders.
Tight end Russ Francis' diving, juggl
ing catch of a 38-yard touchdown pass
from Matt Cavanaugh gave the Patriots
a 13-7 lead with 12:55 left in the fourth
quarter.
The Dolphins forced the overtime,
however, by launching a 10-play, 78-yard
drive that Woodley capped with an
8-yard touchdown pass which deflected
off the hand of tight end Joe Rose into the
grasp of wide receiver Nat Moore.
Horace Ivory returned the ensuing
kickoff 39 yards to give the Patriots the
ball at their own 36.
Cavanaugh moved the team downfield
to the Miami 20-yard line, where John
Smith came on to attempt a potential
game-winning 35-yard field goal with
three seconds left. 192 yards, while Cavanaugh, playing
