Bowlers drop to 12th in latest poll
By TONY SMITH
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Surprisq!
It comes as no surprise that the wom
en's bowling team is again rated No.l in
collegiate bowling, according to the lat
est poll by the Bowling Writers Associa
tion of America.
It is rather surprising, however, to
Penn State coach Don Ferrell that the
men's bowling team dropped from 10th to
12th in the rankings.
"I believe the people who vote have a
tough job," Ferrell said. "They don't
really get a chance to see all the teams
bowl; they have to go on the final scores.
"The fact is. we have a very fine
collegiate te - .in. We had some outstand
ing sectional roll-offs; our team came
back from adversity to beat a strong
Robert Morris team."
Going into the final round of the Asso
ciation of College Unions-International
sectional tournament, Robert Morris
was ahead by 101 pins. The Lions needed
an inspired performance in the last two
games, and they responded by over
whelming Robert Morris by more than
over 300 pins.
Although Ferrell finds the N 0.12 rating
slightly puzzling, one reason for this lies

in the fact that the rankings were re
leased before the sectional roll-offs. An
other reason may have to dO with the
Lions' only loss of the season a 11 1 / 2 -7 1 .
defeat at the hands of Villanova.
"I believe that it (the No. 12 ranking) is
fait' because of that loss to Villanova,"
Lion bowler John Dombrowski said.
"But since it is after sectionals, I think
we may be ranked higher next time."

Mumphrey no April Fool for Yankees
By HERSCHEL NISSENSON
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) When Jerry Mumphrey was told the
night of March 31 he had been traded from the last-place San
Diego Padres to the first-place New York Yankees, he sus
pected it might be an April Fool's joke.
"There was a get-together for some players training in the
area at my agent's house in Phoenix," Mumphrey recalls.
"Lenny Randle (of the Seattle Mariners) said he heard on the
news that I was traded."
Muniphrey thought it over. First, he considered the fact that
April 1 was a few hours away. Finally, he decided Randle "had
no reason to lie." So Mumphrey and his agent "called to fine
out if it was true."
It was. The Yankees had been trying to reach Mumphrey but
couldn't locate him. Once they touched base, they promptly

field.
Mumphrey was rather stunned by the suddenness of it all.
"I didn't expect to be here," he says.
After four years as a semi-regular with the St. Louis
Cardinals, Mumphrey was traded to Cleveland on Dec. 7, 1979.
Two months later, the Indians shipped him to San Diego, where
he had his most productive season. He batted .298 .328 over
the second half with four homers and 59 RBIs but, more
important to the Yankees' scheme of things, he covered center
field like a glove and stole 52 bases in 57 attempts.
Once the surprise wore off, Mumphrey was eager to accept
his new role. "I was sort of shocked," he admits. "But I was
traded to a great organization, and it could be a great opportu
nity for me."

SObanSkY S shot at Laay Lion track successfu

In 1977, Elaine Sobansky was just a
reshman at Trinity High School in Wash
mgton, Pa. And like' other high school
,students her age naive and unsure
'phe was willing to try new things.
Before high school, Sobansky had nev

1980 Olyinpic Trials in Eugene, Ore., and
she finished 10th. Now she is shooting for

championships. But the highlight of her
career, she said, was being named 1980
Female Athlete of the Year by the Pitts
burgh Post-Gazette. It came as a total
shock to Sobansky.
"I was really surprised, but glad, too,"
she said. "I didn't expect it there were
so many good female athletes in the
Pittsburgh area."
Sobansky said she likes throwing the
shot put better than the discus.
"I never really learned the right tech
nique for the discus," she said, "but now
my discus is picking up because (Penn
State coach Gary) Schwartz knows the
technique."
Like Sobansky, Chambers realizes the
quality of coaching she is receiving is
helping mold her into a class internation

potential to throw in the 60-feet range
to be an international shot putter you
' have to throw in the 605."
Schwartz agreed with Chambers.
"Elaine has already proven herself on
the collegiate level that she is a national
caliber athlete," he said.
Talent at such a young age hasn't
changed Sobansky's frame of mind.
"A lot of people ask me why I'm not
big-headed," Sobansky said. "You are
not going to get any farther if you are big
headed. Everyone is, the same no matter
if you are in sports or not."
The most obvious question people ask
and the easiest one for Sobansky to
answer "Why Penn State?"
The parks and recreation major said
she was heavily recruited by Arizona,
California-Berkley and Georgia but
chose Nittany Valley because she wanted
to go to school- close to home so her
parents and high school coach can come

"I wanted a big school," Sobansky
said. "I knew Schwartz was a good coach
and that Penn State always turned out
good athletes.
"I also didn't want to go to a school that
was building a program. I didn't want to
feel like they were building a program
around me I wanted to go to a school
and be like everyone else."
Sobansky gave people at Penn State
something to look at. She is the new Penn
State record holder in both the shdt and
the discus. She earned her first All-.
America status at the Association for
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women in
door track championships in the shot put
with a heave of 52-9.
"I like being a number at Penn State,"
she said. "In high school, everyone knew
me I wanted to get out and see what I
could do on my own. I wanted to live on
my person not on my ability."
