the daily collegian Louisville to top charts in NCAA hoops College basketball is big business these days. Nowhere will that be more evident than at this year's site of the Final Four, the Louisiana Superdome. About 61,000 fans the largest basketball crowd in the history of the National Collegiate Athletic Association are expected to cram the Dome when the Final Four meet in New Orleans March 27-29. And that means big bucks to the NCAA and the four schools involved. But does playing in the Dome and making all that money hurt the game at all? Penn State basketball coach Dick Harter thinks so. "Anything for the money," Harter said. "That's obviously not a great place to play basketball: I'm not looking,for ward to going to the Superdome to see it." 2i.v6Noi V6bio% Maybe Harter isn't, but there are 20 teams that have an excellent chance of making that enviable trip to New Or leans. They are: 1. Louisville: It was only two years ago that Dr. Dunkenstein and Company Came from nowhere to upend UCLA for the national crown. Darrell Griffith is long gone now, but the nucleus of that championship team remains. The Cardi nals return all five starters from last year's 21-9 club. Georgetown: How can Hoya coach John Thompson be awake and sleepy at_ the same time? It's simple. He was so a:Wake that he landed three prize re cruits, the most notable being 7-0 Pat Ewing, the nation's most sought-after high school prospect last year. He's also got All-America guard Eric "Sleepy" Floyd in the backcourt. 3. North Carolina: Coach Dean Smith his taken the Tar Heels to the Final Four Sji,c times in his 19 years at Chapel Hill. "I'here's every reason to believe that this season could be N 0.7. Leading scorer Al Wood is gone, but 6-4 freshman Michael jirdan, labeled by some as the next David Thompson, should adequately fill his shoes. ‘4. UCLA: Everybody's still wondering how the Bruins lost to Brigham Young by 23 points in last year's tournament. But nobody's questioning UCLA's potential this year. The Bruin offense should take Off with the return of junior guard "Ilock d" Rod Foster. ';5: Iowa: For the Hawkeyes, this season boils down to how well coach Lute Olson can work in three outstanding recruits into the lineup. Or it could boil down to the leadership of 6-6 Kevin Boyle, a defensive wizard who averaged 11.7 points last year. .6. Kentucky: The big question in the Wild of the late Adolph Rupp is how effective 7-1 center Sam Bowie will be if he's able to play. He's recovering from a broken bone in his foot that wasn't dis covered until after last season. Without Bowie, the Wildcats may have a rough time improving on last year's 22-6 re cord. :4. DePaul: Mark Aguirre and Clyde El,tadshaw have flocked to the National Basketball Association, but coach Ray Neyer lured Ray McCoy away from San Fikancisco to team with veteran frontline rn.en Teddy Grubbs and Terry Cum ! ;8. Indiana: Despite his harsh discipline and occasional tantrums, coach Bobby knight is a magician. Expect him to do vitimiderful things for the defending na *nal champions this year. "They lost the backcourt man in Isiah (Thomas) that made them go," Harter said. "But they had a very good recruiting year." :`9. Wichita State: The Shockers lived up ti),' their nickname last season when they made it to the NCAA Midwest regional finals. The forward tandem of 6-9 Cliff Levingston and 6-8 Antoine Carr are back to do some more shocking. ;10. Virginia: Losing Jeff Lamp, Lee baker and Terry Gates took a big bite out OF coach Terry Holland's Cavaliers. But the team's skyscraper, Ralph Sampson, returns and should give UVA the punch it needs to challenge North Carolina for the Atlantic Coast Conference title. ,; it. Minnesota: Another skyscraper, 7-2 Center Randy Breuer, will be the key if tfie Golden Gophers hope to make the tournament after last season's 19-11 re cord. 42. Georgia: Dawgonnit, Georgia may j(ist be the surprise team in the country this season. The Bulldogs return every one from last year's 19-12 squad. Heading the list is junior forward Dominique Wilkins (23.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game). 13. Connecticut: This may sound corny, but the Huskies (20-9 last year) could take the Big East crown. The 'reasons are big ones: 6-8 Corny Thomp *on averaged 15.3 points last season while 6-11 Chuck Aleksinas averaged 14.3. ,14.

"This is a real stepping stone for me in field hockey," Finn said. "I'm thinking about trying out for the Americans in,hockey ; nothing's defi nite yet, though. Wednesday, Nov. 11 10 "I just wanted to have a good senior year at Penn State. It's an honor, and 'l'm very happy." Finn's blistering shot has helped her set every Penn State scoring re cord. Her 29 goals so far this season have upped her career total to a school-high 85 goals and 100 points. As far as assists go, Stauffer, a junior; already has set the school record with 42 in her career. Her exceptiobal stickwork and accuracy with the handstop on the corner hit play have earned her the season-high total of 26 assists. Stauffer played in Holland last sum mer as a member of a U.S. national team but said an. true All-America team was never really selected last years "When coach (Gillian) Rattray called me," she said, "I thought, 'Oh my God, it's true!' Just by the sound ' of it, it sounds so good. I was hoping, but I wasn't expecting it." The U.S. Field-Hockey Associatimi , announced the 26 All-American play ers and 12 honorable mentions yester day, along with the college player of the year, Judy Strong, and the coach of the.year, Pam Hixon, both of Mas sachusetts. , The players will travel to Orlando, Fla., on Nov. 29 to play three games against each other. "I just got the Mailgram in the mail saying when and where we're play ing,!" Finn said. "But I can't think about that now. I have to think about nationals. z 33 "I'm more psyched about Penn s a l State going to nationals. This is all extra."- But again, Lasorda rallied his team to two straight victories, this time on the road, sending Los Angeles into the World Series. It seemed unlikely that the Dodgers could bounce back a third time, but they did. After losing the first two games in New York, Los Angeles won three straight at home, then finished off the Yankees in Game Six at New York. Lasorda said it was the Dodgers' finest moment. The world championship came in the Dodgers' third World Series since Lasorda took over as manager Sept. 29, 1976, replacing the esteemed Walter Alston, who had guided the club for 23 years in Brooklyn and Los Angeles. „,,...„,,..,.. _ ...f . r .„.,•_. • ~....„% , ” 2 it. , / savings # ~ , ~.„... . ....

"It may end Cliff's career is what it may do, if he ends up with a broken arm like Robin Cole," Steeler coach' Chuck Noll said. Cole, a linebacker, developed calcium desposits after breaking his arm in 1977. The injury healed slowly, but Cole can still play because he doesn't throw. Noll used grim terms to describe Stoudt's fractured arm. "It was shattered, I'm told," he said. "It's not a `ha-ha' situation. You don't know how bones mend. Maybe he'll be a full-time radio announcer." The Steelers may call up former Pitt quarterback Rick Trocano, who must clear waivers because he was placed on injured reserve before the season started. They might carry just two quar terbacks, or they might sign one who is out of work. "We're going to search around and see," Noll said. "We'll make a decision , later on. "We're talking about a third-string quarterback right now. Whoever it is, is not going to get a lot of playing time." Meanwhile,. Mark Malone is back at quarterbaCk. . • .• • srl
