the daily collegian CFA battle just the thing to awaken NCAA Don't believe those prophets of doom who've been wailing about the death of the NCAA and even college football as we know it today. They've got reason to be concerned in light of the recent advances of the Col lege Football Association, but the college football world is not going out with a bang or even a whimper. By negotiating its own television con tract, the CFA merely sent much-needed tremors through the NCAA's stodgy halls in Shawnee Mission, Kan. The halls won't come tumbling down, however, because the CFA is not strong enough and the NCAA is just smart enough. The CFA voted 33-20 on Aug. 21 in Atlanta to approve a $lBO million tele vision contract with NBC. That vote was in direct defiance of a $263 million pact signed between the NCAA and ABC and CBS. But the defiant ones didn't shout loudy enough. Penn State football coach and athletic director Joe Paterno, 'a leading spokes man for the CFA, said he was disap pointed with the vote because it didn't. show enough of a commitment by the CFA to challenge the NCAA. Bob Devaney, athletic director at Ne braska, said he was disgusted. "We lost out at Atlanta," said the one time Cornhusker coaching great. "At that CFA conference, it seemed too many people were not informed. Thirty-three to 20 is not really a strong vote. "Our conference (Big Eight) voted 6-2 in favor. We got back to a meeting on Wednesday and if we had a vote, you'd be lucky if you got a 4-4 vote." Maybe the CFA needs Ledh Walesa, but even without him, the potential for solidarity is there. The CFA membership includes all of the heavyweights in col lege football except the teams in the Pacific 10 and Big Ten conferences. Penn btate, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Ala bama are also among the 61 CFA mem bers. The next test of solidarity for the CFA *as to come this Thursday, the deadline -for members to reconsider their votes. But it appears as if the CFA has decided to punt and see what the NCAA does with .the ball. Both the Big Eight and the Atlantic Coast Conference announced they will not sign either television pact until the NCAA convenes to discuss the sealignment of big-time football. The top Division I-A schools believe all college football programs are not cre ated equally and thus should not share Oqually in such things as voting power and television revenues. • Bob James is commmissioner of the ACC and a believer in realignment. ' "If you look at the membership of the CFA," James said, "they contribute much to the NCAA financially, admisi tratively and legislatively a most significant contribution. And it might not Ile wrong to say that these schools proba bly hold the present organization togeth- The NCAA doesn't even argue over the need for realignment. f? "In general, they have a valid argu ment in the attempts made to organize the football-playing membership," said Thomas Hansen, assistant executive di rector of the NCAA. A So why the fuss? The two sides should get together and form a Super Division. Of the 137 Division I-A schools, include in it most of the 61 CFA teams and the Pac 1p and Big Ten members. This group would be free to negotiate its own tele- Vision packages and establish tighter lOgislation for recruiting and academic standards. Yet it would still share a percentage of revenues with the NCAA And still adhere to that organization's official rules and regulations of the game. But nothing with the NCAA comes that easily. The NCAA is a balding, near sighted and pot-bellied old man shuffling his feet through a field of cow manure but smiling as if everything was fine. Yet we all know that what the NCAA is in, stinks. In a time when the very nature of Collegiate sport came under public at tack in the light of scandals and schemes, the NCAA went after the Auburns and Oklahoma States while the self-confessed frauds of the Pac-10 schools went un touched. So it should come as no surprise that when the NCAA finds itself gasping for its bureaucratic life, it tries to choke itself with red tape. The CFA wants realignment now. The NCAA's next scheduled convention is Jan. 11-13 in Houston. A special meeting is in order, but as Hansen said, "There is one technical problem." The NCAA has a 60-day deadline for submission of legislation and probably cbuldn't convene until December, and since Jan. 11 is right around that corner, Please see CFA, Page 9 7 .1 0161.• PAAPAfte Lions shoot down Redmen, 2-0, but search for goalie continues By JEFF SCHULER Daily Collegian Sports Writer When a team takes 52 shots on goal and hblds its opponent to just 12, the coach of that team shouldn't have to worry about the game's outcome. But for almost 74 minutes of last night's soccer match between the Lions and St. John's, Penn State coach Walt Bahr stood silently as his team held a precarious 1-0 lead, despite the obvious statistical edge his Lions had over the stubborn Redmen. It was not until sophomore Jeff Maierhofer scored an insur ance goal at 73:50 to seal the Lions' 2-0 victory at rainy Jeffrey Field, that Bahr finally felt secure. "It (the win) was a little harder than I thought," Bahr said: "We had some excellent opportunities; we played well, moved the ball well, and, for the most part, controlled the game. "But St. John's was a little better than I thought they'd be. Until we got that second goal, I was very uneasy." What Bahr may have been uneasy about was the Lions' tendency to do everything right except put the ball in the net. Penn State took 26 shots in each half, making a busy man out of Redman goalie Tom McCormack. And it was McCormack who played a large part in shutting down the Lion offense, stopping the Lions with save after save. "We got a number of people behind the defense• and in position to score," Bahr said, "but we just couldn't connect." But after McCormack and the goalposts had combined to keep the Lions off the scoreboard for almost 25 Minutes, Penn State finally put the ball in the net. Peter Jancevski did the honors, taking a pass from Duncan Mac Ewan and beating McCormack at 22:24. But•that was all the scoring until Maier hofer knocked in the clincher with 16 minutes left. "If we make one mistake (with a one-goal lead), they're right back in the game," Jancevski said. "We missed a lot of chances; it should have been a lot worse." The unexpectedly close margin prevented Bahr from doing some experimenting in his search for a replacement for graduated goalie Angelo Nickas.

In that span were third-quarter touch down passes of 13 yards to rookie running back James Brooks and 4 yards to veter an back Hank Bauer. Fouts also con- its nected with Ron Smith on a 38-yard TI) pass in the fourth period. . Brooks, the Chargers' No. 1 draft choice out of Auburn, opened the scoring With a 4-yard touchdown run in the first period. And Muncie, obtained in a trade with New Orleans four games into the• 1980 season, matched his personal one game rushing record of 161 yards, set in 1979 against Atlanta. Nine of his yards came on a touchdown run in the second period. It was a devastating performance by Fouts and' his receivers, 'most notably Charlie Joiner, who caught six passes for 191 yards. In all, the Chargers rolled up 535 yards on 66 plays, an average of 8.1 yards per play. Brian Sipe, the NFL's Most Valuable Player and statistical passing leader last year, tried in vain to keep the Browns in to switch to freshman Greg Kenney'in the second half. But the one-goal margin at halftime ended Bahr's hopes of getting Kenney in. "It wouldn't of been fair to either one," Bahr said. "Not to Dave, who built his confidence in the first half, and not to Greg, who would have had to come in cold." Wilson played credibly last night, making nine saves do the 12 shots he faced. But, by the same measure, he wasn't really tested by a'ny difficult shots. "Wilson did a good job, but he was under little pressure," Bahr said. "As of now, no one has been under enough pressure to see how they'd hold up. But they're gaining more confidence with each shot. "I'll find out what kind of keepers we have when we are on the' opposite end of a game like tonight's." But imagining a team ANY team getting 52 shots on Penn State is a bit hard. This was the second straight shutout for the Lions, and part of the reason Wilson wasn't tested was the play of the Lion back line of Bill McDonald, Lou Karbiener, Dan Canter and Greg Dennis. "We're playing well," Jancevski said, "but we just have to start putting the ball in the net more. We need some consisten cy." . Bahr didn't blame the Lions' offense for the two-goal effort, but rather the breaks of the game. • "That's the way it is in soccer," Bahr said. "You can dominate and dominate and dominate and not put the ball in the goal. Having control of the game and scoring are two different things. "Sometimes you get three shots and score on two; then there are times like tonight." CORNER KICKS: Bahr wouldn't say who would be the starting goalie for Fridays's game with Loyola. "It'll depend on practice," he said. . .Wilson played 66 minutes of Friday's 6-0 whiNwash of West Virginia Wesleyan, with Kenney playing the other 24. . .Balfe Morrison scored a pair of goals to lead the Lions in that game. . .St. John's record fell to 0-2, while the Lions moved to 2-0. • the big difference. "Everybody was covering, everybody was tackling," McCormack said. "Our team is totally defensive. I thought Penn State would have given us a lot more pressure. "Our back line held out very strong. The back line was like the difference between a 50 percent effort against Navy (who ,defeated the Redmen 2-1 last Wednesday) and a 100 percent effort tonight. Fitness-wise, we could have gone into overtime." As it turned out, the'Redmen never got close to the thought of overtime because they rarely tested Lion freshman goal tender Dave Wilson, the heir-apparent to the departed Angelo Nickas. Instead, much of the crowd's attention was directed toward the diehard efforts the game. He completed a clubiiecord 31 passes on 57 attempts for / 275 yards, including touchdowns of 18 yards to Ricky Feacl?er in the secpnd quarter and 4 yards to Greg Pruitt in the third quar ter. Sipe was also intercepted twice, the only two turnovers of the game.. Rolf Benirschke kicked field goals of 50, 43 and 33 yards to complete the scoring for the Chargers before a Munici pal Stadium crowd of 78,904. That crowd put the NFL's season-opening weekend total at 866,788, surpassing the league's first-weekend record of 837,755, set two years ago. The game was only 4:10 old when the Chargers took the lead on Brooks' run, capping a seven-play, 52-yard drive high lighted by Fouts' 16-yard pass to Dwight Scales on San Diego's first play of the game. Pete Jancevski (9) scored the first in the Lions' 2-0 win over St. John's Center forward team last night of McCOrmack "He was a good goalie," center for ward Jancevski said of McCormack. "I was a little surprised because they weren't as good when we scrimmaged them in the winter." With a drier ball and a drier field, McCormack said he would have stopped Jancevski's first-half goal, a fast roller that whizzed by his outstretched arms and caught the lower right-hand corner of the goalmouth. The effort by McCormack set the tone for the entire game: Penn State may score a goal or two, but it would be hard earned. "They came to play us tough, and they really did play us tough," said Lion forward Lou Karbiener, who had two shots-on-goal wiped out by the St. John's The Chargers made it 10-0 with eight seconds remaining in the first quarter on Benirschke's 50-yard field goal. The score might have been higher at that point except that Fouts fumbled the snap from center on a third-and-8 play just before the kick. Muncie sprinted 16 yards up the middle to the San Diego 49 and Fouts found Joiner for 19 yards on the next play to highlight that march. The Browns got back into the game briefly on Feacher's scoring catch be hind San Diego cornerback Irvin Phillips in the left side of the end zone 2:26 into the second period. , But just 2:58 later, the Chargers opened up the score to 17-7 on Muncie's run two plays after he had danced around the left side of the Cleveland defense for 17 yards.

And considering that McCormack . said Penn State is one of the Redmen's tough est opponents this season, grabbing 19 saves and surrendering only two goals is all in a good night's work.

Title IX suit by soccer club still in limbo By KAIA K. SMITH Daily Collegian Sports Writer If it is indeed true that all good things come to those who wait, then maybe the women's soccer club should sit back and be patient while it waits for the results of the federal investigation into its Title IX law suit against the University that might move the club one step closer to varsity status. Club coach and adviser Tim Conley said the investigation has not yet begun because the personnel in the Philadelphia Office of Civil Rights have not received an official OK from Secretary of Education Terrel Bell or Vice President George Bush to proceed with the investigation. Conley said Bush recently suggested de laying all Title IX investigations indefi nitely. Conley speculated that Bush might just be testing the general public to see how important sex discrimination cases really are. The club's case, first made public last March, is intended to give it varsity status. The club filed the suit with the federal Office of Civil Rights because the Universi ty has a varsity soccer team for men but not for women. Correcting inequalities like that, in effect, is the reason for the exis tence of Title IX. The law states that male and female athletes should receive equal treatment in all aspects of athletics. Nine of the club's 14 games this year are against varsity teams, including four East ern Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women tournament teams. "We're a varsity group, we play varsity teams," Conley said. "We have more good players than we've ever had before." But playing like a varsity team and play ing other varsity teams do not constitute varsity status, and until they do, the team will have to wait. Conley, however, can't wait forever. "I can't keep doing it (coaching) indefi nitely;" he said. "This would have to be my last year. I'd hate to leave without it being resolved, though, because it's fun. "We're still trying to get this settled here on campus. I'd much rather drop the whole thing. There's some movement toward get ting it solved, but it could take years." Once the investigation begins, it must go through state and federal levels. The Uni versity would probably appeal if the investi gation ruled in the team's favor, but it could also get involved in litigation, all of which would prolong the process indefinitely, Con ley said. The team opens its season Sept. 15 at George Washington as a soccer club. Maybe it will close its season two months later as a varsity team.

They're reserved for a meeting of the chief exec utive officers one from each confer ence and the major independents. Realignment should provide the most lively discussion. In the meantime, the realignment issue is "not on hold, it's under study," according to Hansen. A subcommittee of the NCAA Committee on Governance met last week to look at the problem, and the entire committee meets today. The CFA's intentions behind the re structuring are basically honorable ones. "We're interested in the governance issue," said Gene Corrigan, Notre Dame athletic director.

That's because it is a smaller organization (61 members as opposed to 660), and coaches and athletic directors have greater in volvement. Paterno and Maryland's Jer ry Claiborne have been mavericks in the fight for integrity since the CFA formed in 1977. "That's the great thing about the CFA," ACC commissioner James said.

How much more is not clear, especially since cable tele vision could mean megabucks. Corrigan of Notre Dame said last week it is "not a significant amount." Paterno said on Aug. 23 the CFA pack age "won't make the rich get richer" and the schools "won't get much more than we would have taken in from the NCAA package." Exactly a week before that, Paterno said Notre Dame could make $1.2 million more over the next two years with the CFA package. The CFA schools preach of integrity and pureness, but their breath smells of greed. It's a different kind of greed, though.

Then came the foot-fault call in the sixth game of the third set. The two had traded service breaks, and Gerulaitis was one point away from moving ahead in a 3-3 tie, leading 40-love. The call visibly upset Gerulaitis. On the next serve, Lendl hit a winner and Gerulaitis slammed the ball in the direction of the woman who had made the foot-fault call. The ball went into the stands and struck a man in the face, although it did not injure him. Immediately following the match, Ge- we've been placed in that financial posi tion," James said.

Nebraska's Devaney said: "College football has to be big to compete for the dollar to keep the program going." And what happens if competing for the dollar means having to sign a television contract with NBC? Will the NCAA really kick out Penn State and the other dissent eis? "There is no question that any institu tion that remains in the NBC package is subject to NCAA action," Hansen said. "It goes to the Committee on Infractions.
