By SHARON FINK Daily Collegian Sports Writer Seven of the preseason's Top 20 teams in the country are on the Lady Lions' 11-meet schedule, plus an inter national meet against the top women's gymnastics team in Western Europe. Therefore, it's not surprising to hear that Penn State is facing possibly its most dif ficult schedule ever. "There are a lot of challenges there a lot of challenges," Marcy Levine said, "especially as we get more into the season and our harder meets. "It builds up. It gets a little more exciting as the season goes on. And if we can't win, at least we can learn from the meets we go through." The traditional rivals are still there former na tional powers Clarion and Massachusetts, along with Rutgers and Pitt but the rest of the schedule is pack ed with nationally-ranked teams with top-caliber per formers, including an Olympian, World Games par ticipants and the defending national champion in the all-around and the four individual events. In their home opener on Jan. 9, the Lady Lions face the first of the top teams the University of Southern California. "(This) will be very interesting," Marshall said, "because they have a very good freshman in the name of Suzy Kellems, who was on the United States team to the world championships in 1979. "They'll have a good team, one that could beat us if we're not sharp. I would have to say that we would be favored, but Kellems could win the all-around, which I'm sure a couple of our girls wouldn't like to see." In the preseason poll, Kellems is ranked second na tionally in the all-around. But ranked third is Penn State's, Heidi Anderson, while Levine is fifth, Margie Foster seventh, Linda Tardiff 11th and Lisa. In gebretsen 19th. February could be the toughest month for the Lady Lions. The first two meets are against No. 17 Michigan State' and No. 14 Utah State. More Feb.mportantly, they are followed by No. 4 UCLA and, on b 15, Great Bri tain's national team. It has been six years since Penn State has hosted an international gymnastics competition. Between 1954 and 1975, the Lady Lions hosted 12 international meets. Marshall said he and head coach Judi Avener have wanted to revive international competition at the school since taking over the women's program, but first they wanted to establish a strong base for Penn State gymnastics. And now that they have, they think it's time for international competition. "(The international) aspect of our schedule makes Penn State gymnastics somewhat special," Marshall said. "And we really enjoy it. It gives the girls a marvelous opportunity. "I guess the overriding lure of international competi tion is to provide the Penn State gymnastics audience, which we have a great deal of respect for, with in teresting, innovative and enjoyable comepetition. We think this will be that." And it will be Penn State against a whole country, Marshall said. • • "That will be the next real tough meet. They're sen ding some of their real top girls," he said. "An awfully tough one to win we'll see but one we're looking forward to." Once again UCLA should provide quite a challenge for the. Lady Lions. The Bruins finished fifth at the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women na tional championships last year and are ranked fourth in the current poll. But the coach of the No. 1-ranked team in the country, the University of Utah's Greg Marsden, said UCLA could and deserve to be higher. "I know they're only fourth," he said, "and a lot of people are overlooking them. But I think they'll really be in there. They should be up there even higher." The Bruins' best asset is the woman Marshall said is the single most successful lemale athlete in college history Sharon Shapiro. Shapiro won the all-around title and the four individual events at last year's na tional championships. In addition to Shapiro, UCLA has a good crop of freshmen "They recruited some very potent young ladies behind Shapiro," Marshall said. "And they're gonna give us a strong threat. We could lose that meet. That'll be very tough competition for us." During Winter Term break, Penn State makes a Southern road trip, taking on sixth-ranked Louisiana State and 11th-ranked University of Florida.

Florida, a rising power, is in its second year under former Clarion coach Ernestine Weaver. While at Claiion, Weaver coached two separate squads into con secutive national championship appearances. When Weaver left Clarion after the 1979 season, she took Clarion's top all-arounder, Ann Woods. Now junior, Woods finished fourth in the all-around as a freshman at the 1979 national tournament and in the top six in three of the four individual events. The meet of the season could be on March 11 against Utah, currently ranked No. 1. The Utes return everyone from last year's team, which was second at, nationals— 1.4 points behind Penn State. Utah starts this year with a talented group of freshmen and six all arounders ranked among the top 20.. "Of course, it's the toughest meet of the season, the epitomy of tough competition," Marshall said. "They recruited two very top people in freshman Linda Kar dos, a 1979 World Games team member, and freshman Christa Canary, who was on this past Olympic team.? Utah coach Greg Marsden laughed when asked about meeting the Lady• Lions and said he still doesn't know whether he's excited or disappointed about the pro spect. But he does know the Utes are looking forward to performing in front of a Rec Hall crowd. "It's exciting any time you can pack the house," he said. "And no doubt that'll give a definite home advanl tage to Penn State. The fans will probably be very vocal in their support. We were there for nationals two 'years ago, and that's the thing that we talked about the most." For Penn State this year, all the opposition is tough; but the Lady Lions are still the defending national champions. And Judi pinned down the position they're "Of course, everybody's out to get us," she said. "You know we're the toughest meet on everyone's schedule. Everybody wants to beat us. So we gotta watch. There's so many challenges." ....J .. w..w3 ... -4 0 0 0 0 > -1 0 D I. -< COMMUNICATIONS WOMEN RACE RELATIONS DEPARTMENT . . . SERVICES . . .

He pitched for nine years with Minnesota and Texas, compiling a 122-133 career 'record and a 2.97 ERA.

DALLAS (AP) Dave Bristol was fired as manager of the San Francisco Giants yesterday and Whitey Herzog continued collecting quality relief pit chers for the St. Louis Cardinals at baseball's winter meetings. Herzog, still doing business at a brisk pace, obtained bullpen ace Bruce Sutter from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for third baseman Ken Reitz, outfielder Leon Durham and a player to be named later. The trade came one day after Herzog assembled an 11-player deal with San Diego which delivered reliever Rollie Fingers to the Cardinals. Bristol's firing jolted the annual lun cheon gathering of major league managers. It developed out of a two-hour meeting yesterday between Bristol and Giants' owner Bob Lurie.

"We felt we needed more pitching," said Dave Garcia, manager of the In dians. "Blyleven was the best available pitcher." Lurie, citing "philosophical differences of opinion," with Bristol, who had piloted the Giants to a disappointing fifth-place finish this year. "I was surprised. I had no idea it was going to happen," said Bristol, who had previously managed at Cincinnati, Milwaukee and Atlanta. "It was just philosophy." Lurie had become angry with Bristol during the World Series when the manager called first baseman Mike Ivie "a cancer on the club." Ivie left the team for about two weeks last summer and walked out three days before the end of the season, without any word to Bristol. "I'm not bitter. I won't burn any bridges," Bristol said. "Only Dave Bristol got Dave Bristol fired." Bristol had been named manager of the Giants in September 1979 and spent a stormy year with the club. M__ Se ahawk Classic
