Chet's 'tunnel' vision memorable
By MIKE POORMAN
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH Pitt Stadium was
dark and the 60,260 people had all left.
The press box provided the day's last
gasp of light and activity. It was nearly
two hours after Penn State had won when
Chet Parlavecchio walked slowly
through the visting team's tunnel and
onto the edge of the deserted field, the
fifth time that day he went through the
tunnel.
This time was different.
The blood was finally cleaned off his
nose, and the reporters and parents and
fans were taken care of. He was now.
wearing a tie and a blue blazer, not his
familiar blue and white N 0.94. And his
hands were resting comfortably in his
pockets, not raised triumphantly, poking
holes in the air with each thrust, like they
had been all day.
He stood there alone and quiet, silhou
etted against the early evening sky. He
stared hard at the field, trying to grab
that last look at Pitt Stadium, hoping to
freeze all those minutes of glory and
triumph in his mind forever.

:”What is Penn State going to say
no*? " tight end John Brown said,
"They're going to say we knew Pitt
wasn't any good. Pitt's very good and
we're still good and we're going to get
better. I would like to give Penn State
more credit than that.
"lf• it happened in September every
body would have said we knew Pitt
wasn't going to make it to the end of the
season. Everybody's on your wagon
when you're winning and we had a rough

Farrell an All-American choice
Penn State offensive guard Sean Farrell has been named
to the first team on five separate college football All-
America squads. Farrell, a 6-3, 266-poun& senior from
Westhampton Beach, N.Y., has been a three-year starter
for the Nittany Lions.
.• A co-captain of the 9-2 Lions, Farrell was listed first
team on the All-America squads chosen by .Kodak
(Coaches), The Associated Press, Walter Camp, the Foot
.- ball Writers Association of America and Football News.
As a member of the AP All-America team, Farrell will
appear on a Bob Hope , television special on NBC Sunday,
Dec. 20, from 8-9 p.m.
Farrell was also one of four finalists for the prestigious
Outland Trophy, given annually to the nation's outstanding
lineman. Nebraska center Dave Rimington won the
award
Curt Warner, Penn State's junior tailback who rushed
for 1,044 yards this season, joined Farrell on the first team
of the Walter Camp All-America squad.
Warner and senior co-captain Chet Parlavecchio, a
linebacker and Penn State's leading tackler with 70, were
named second team by the Football News.
In addition, Warner and Parlavecchio, along with four
other Penn State players, were named honorable mention
on the AP All-America team. They are: Mike Munchak,
offensive guard; co-captain Leo Wisniewski, defensive
tackle; Mark Robinson, safety; and Ralph Giacomarro,
.1 punter.
Penn State will also be well represented at numerous
postseason college football all-star games.
Farrell and Parlavecchio have been selected to compete
in the East-West Shrine Game, Jan. 9; linebacker Matt
Parlavecchio heats up for intrastate rivalry
There was so much to remember. The
weeks, the terribly difficult weeks, be
fore the game. He had been injured and
missed a couple of games, including the
Lions' incredible loss at Miami. Two
weeks later came an embarrassing de
feat to Alabama, followed by redemption
against Notre Dame.
And then there was the week before
this game, when he made all those com
ments about how "Pitt should schedule
Thiel" and how Penn State's second
season starts Saturday and how Penn
State was going to win.
The morning'of the game, he surveyed
the field along with his teammates. He
was developing a feel for the place where
no one had beaten Pitt since the Nittany
Lions did it 20 games ago, in 1977.
. Despite his boastings, he never said it
was going to be easy, and at first it
wasn't, Pitt jumped to an early 14-0 lead,
but Penn State didn't give up, its defense
playing its finest three quarters of the
season.
There had been that late hit in the
second quarter on Dwight Collins in front

brated his 39th birthday last Saturday,
refused to blame his players for his third
loss in five tries against the Lions and
confidently looked ahead to a New Year's
Day showdown with second-ranked
Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
"You can't take away this year from
our players," he said. "They've done a
great job and they had an opportunity to
reach one of their goals and they had an
opportunity and a challenge to do some
thing else and it was there. But the
momentum changed too quickly fo i r
them. That locomotive was going in one
direction and we couldn't stop it.
"As far as regrouping goes, the pres

of the, pat bench, where Jackie Sherrill
grabbed the Penn State linebacker by the
arm.
"I thought we were going 'to have a
war," Parlavecchio said. "I didn't try to
hurt (Collins) or anything. ,I think we
needed something to give us a spark."
He was taken out for one play, but was
in the next. Five plays later, Roger
Jackson intercepted Dan Marino and
Penn State scored the tying touchdown a
few minutes later. The schedule (spoken
about in reverent terms, i.e. the sched
ule) had prepared the Nittany Lions well.
Pitt's did not.
"That's one of the problems with their
schedule," Parlavecchio told reporters
after the game. "They've been crushing
people early all year."
His was a confident voice, the kind
some call cocky. But he believed in
himself, and his team as he,had done
all season. And more important, he had
just helped show why he had reason to
believe: 48-14 over" Pitt and 9-2 against
the toughest schedule in college football.
And because of the belief, and the
eagerness to express it, he was never

Continued from Page 15.
But the Lions did manage to tie the
score at 14-14 before halftime, despite
Marino's 187 yards passing in the half.
"With four turnovers in the first half,"
Pitt coach Jackie Sherrill said, "we were
very fortunate to still be 14-14."
For Marino, things changed dramati
cally in the second half. The Lions, neu
tralized Marino's ability to change plays
at the line of scrimmage by shifting their
defense right after Marino audiblized. •
But the Panther quarterback, who
switched from throwing from the pocket
to rolling out to pass in the second. half,
blamed a lack of execution, not the Penn
State defense, for the sudden turnaround.
"We were running , the full wide-out
formation the whole first half and we
were successful with it," Marino said,
"and we thought they would come out
and try to do something different and we
said just maybe we'll do something dif
ferent!.
"We'll roll out and run some motion
across the field and we'll roll to . wide side
of the field. And it worked for us a couple
of times. Maybe we should have done it a
little more."
It it didn't matter whether Marino
rolled out or threw from the pocket. Penn
State was dropping its pass coverage so
deep that when Pitt fell behind, it wasn't
able to find those deep passing lanes that
were so open in the first quarter.
"They didn't make any adjustments at
all," Marine said. "They played the
same defense in the second half they did
in the first half.. After they got ahead,
they were dropping deeper, their safeties
were getting a little more depth cause
they knew we were trying to go deep.
They deserved to win.
"We gave it our best shot and that's
what counts, really. You go out on the
field and don't really know what's going
to happem ever. You just have got to go
give it your best shot on every play and
just let the chips fall:"
sure's not on them. The pressure's when
you start the season and say 'OK, we're
the best around' and then you go 8-3 or 9-2
or 7-4. This team came from nowhere and
they've played extremely hard and
we've done some things that we kad to do
to win and they won.
The loss to Penn State had ended any
Panther hopes for the national
championship, but it couldn't erase the
memories of a team that was supposed to
go nowhere, but ended up holding down
the No.l spot for the longest any team did
this season.
"Isn't that something to be proud of? "
Brown said.
Sean Farrell
alone after a game, especially this one.
Reporters had crowded around him more
than anyone else in the Volkswagon-sized
locker room. "
And he didn't disappoint them.
• "The hitting was like it always is for
a Penn State-Pitt game. There was evil
in everybody's eyes, - a little dirty stuff,
some cheap hits."
• "If we beat Southern Cal (in the
Fiesta Bowl), we'll be 10-2 and deserve
as much consideration for No.l as any
body."
At last, he got a chance to take a
shower and talk to his dad, Chester Sr.
On his way' out with the last of the Penn
State players, he saw Sue Paterno, Joe's
wife, who had a "Parlavecchio, the Ital
ian enforcer button" pinned on her coat.
He kissed her on the cheek.
Then he walked out the door and head
ed for the tunnel.
It was a slow walk this time, the
'inevitable postgame soreness beginning
to claim his body. He reached the end of
the tunnel and stopped, his lips pressing
into a smile of satisfaction.
Penn State had beaten Pitt.

A 91-yard interception return for a

emerged as one of college football's top
quarterbacks.
For the season, Marino completed 200

But it was Jackson's shadow Pitt was
grasping for Saturday, especially on'his
first touchdown catch.
It occurred on Penn State's first posse
sion in the second half. Jackson lined up
on the right, went in motion left and then
streaked by Flynn and strong safety Dan
Short. Blackledge found him open near
the 10, where Jackson caught the ball,
turned and stopped to face the sideline, a
blade of Astroturf away from going out of
bounds. Then he about-faced, flashed his
4.5 speed and the Lions led 21-14.

"Danny's the• greatest quarterback
I've ever seen in my said Pitt tight
end John Brown. "I feel fortunate to play
with him."
Penn State Coach Joe Paterno said,
"He's unusual 'for a college quarterback
in that he almost runs the entire football
game from the line of scrimmage.
"Marino was like a hot shooter in
basketball. But in basketball, the basket
never moves. If you can get him out of
whack a little bit, along with 'the receiv

s;
my mind exactly what I should do. Catch
the ball with my hands. I did. Stop, like I
did. Then reverse pivot and cut across
field. I knew I'd never score unless I did
that."
As soon as the Lions got the ball back,
it was the Kenny and Todd Show again,
with Jackson hauling in a 45-yard scoring
bomb to add to his 42-yard score from
three minutes before. Earlier in the
second quarter, Jackson had just missed
a , deep throw and then he
. came back to
catch a 52-yarder, which set up Penn
State's second touchdown.
"Mike Meade said to me, 'lt's so easy,
I might as well tine up out there and run a

ers, it's tough for him to keep it up."
But for now, Marino and the Panthers
have to find a way to put Penn State
behind them before meeting Georgia
New Year's Day in the Sugar Bowl at
New Orleans.
"When you lose it always hurts, but
losing is also part of winning and also
part of football," Marino said. "It's a
kind of thing where I'm probably, if I'm
fortunate enough to play, lose a lot more
times. You can't win all the time and
you've got to take it in stride."

Lions top sycamotps . . `.
to raise record to 3-0
',IBy STEVE GRAHAM
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
It was supposed to be the first legiti
mate showing this season of coach Dick
Harter's new fast-break offense; inter
mingled with what in the past has been a
patient, set-up offense for the men's
basketball team.
40 As it turned out, the 5,526 exuberant
fans in Rec Hall last night were treated
to mostly the lattei as the Lions boosted
their regular-season record to 3-0 with a
60-50 win over Indiana State.
Granted, Penn State did run, or at least
made a die-hard effort to run. But in the
first half, it repeatedly forced some shots
off the break and was often swiped of the
ball before it got the break into high gear.
The solution? Slow things down, of
course.
Thd Lions may have reverted to their
old selves in the second half, but they
* surged to a quick 33-18 lead after inter
mission and held on for the win, thanks to
Mike Edelman's 18 points and an other
wise balanced Penn State attack.
"That was maybe as good a win as
we've had (this season)," Harter said.
"We had, a lot of different people who
ame through for us. But we lost a little
aggressiveness offensively."
Defensively, the game was a • different
story. The Lions continually harassed the
Sycamores, especially in the first half, as
Indiana State coach Bill Hodges tried •to
find the right chemistry to offset Penn
State's offensive attack.
At firsC, it appeared Hodges had found
it in the likes of freshman substitute
guard Rick Fields. Although he played
only eight minutes before halftime,
Fields kept the Sycamores in the game
with two steals, six points and dead-eye
shooting from the field and free-throw
Vine.
But the Lions also unleashed their
secret weapon Edelman. A key player
in Harter's,set offense; Edelman sprang
loose for 10 first-half points and turned in
what Harter called perhaps his best all
around game as a Lion.
"I felt real at egse," said Edelman,
who- also 'dished out five assists and
hauled dowb five rebounds. "Everyone
else was playing 'real great."
Everyone else included reserve guard
Jim Forjan. Forjan came into the game
midway through the second half and fed

forward Dick Mumma for two key inside
baskets just when it looked like Penn
State was going to lose grip of its com
fortable lead.
To Forjan, who's beo plagued this
year by a couple of injuries, the playing
time was welcomed with open arms.
"I knew I was gonna get a shot,"
Forjan said. "It was just a matter of how
much."
Mike Lang, the Lions' steady center
forward, also got a shot. Six, in fact. He
made four of them and garnered four
rebounds. But more importantly, he
checked the Sycamores' skyline of 6-10
Winfred King, 6-9 Ken Bannister and 6-8
Mark Golden.
"We knew we had to screen out and we
screened out well," said Lang, Penn
State's leading rebounder this season.
"They weren't blocking out well. We
showed them what hard work and prac
ticing can do. We showed them we're a
real good basketball team."
Harter isn't ready to label the Lions a
real good basketball team yet. But he
was impressed with Penn State's defense
and said he thinks the fast break is
coming around, even if ever so slowly.
"We can be in the ballgame.if we can
play the type of defense we played ( last)
night," Harter said. "The fast break
didn't get away from us as badly as it has
in some other games this year. It did tire
them ( the Sycamores) out and took some
prdsure off our backs."
There has .been no pressure on .this
yeaes 'squad to run the fast break effecti
vely, simply because it's something en
tirely new to Penn State basketball. And
as Edelman explained, these kind of
things take time.
"In the first half," Edelman said, "I
don't know what it was. We really
haven't had a lot of practice time the last
two weeks, with final exams and every
thing. I think it'll take care of itself."
FREE THROWS: Over term break,"
the Lions defeated Bloomsburg 49-48 and

They lost an exhibition game, however,

forward Rich Fetter broke a bone in his
shooting hand during practice last week

OUR NEWLY EXPANDED LOCATION IS
BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER
Harter's revolving
keeps whole team
By SHARON FINK
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Dick Harter is hardly a follower of
DePaul coach Ray Meyer's basketball
philosophy: "Play your starting five
until they collapse from exhaustion."
In the men's basketball team's first
three games of the season, Harter has
adhered to the "revolving door" • school:
substitute when someone gets in foul
trouble. Substitute when someone needs
to settle down.
So far it's paid off in wins. But no more
so than in last night's 60-50 one over
Indiana State at Rec Hall.
"We had a lot of different people who
came through for us tonight," Harter
said. "I think that's neat. We've played
better teams and beaten better teams,
but as far as coming off the bench and
contributing and growing more mature, I
think that's maybe as good a win as
we've had."
Ten of the 11 Lions played. Nine of the
10 played more than 10 minutes. All 10
scored, and the leading rebounder, Dick
Mumma, had six, followed by Mike Edel
man with five, then others with four,
three, two and one.
It was a team effort. Except for hot
shooting Edelman, no one really stood
out. And there didn't have to be a right
lineup combination. With the exception
of several aborted fast break attempts in
the first half, the Lions played together
no matter which five were on the court.
Guard Craig Buffie played forward for
most of the night. When starter David
Griffin got called for his second foul with
less than three minutes gone, Mumma
stepped in. And when both freshmen
guards Dwight Gibson and Craig Collins
started playing sloppily, Jim Forjan
came off the bench to restore some
order.
points while handing out 11 more assists.
Cheryl Ellison (14 points), Kahadeejah
Herbert (11) and Carol Faultz (10) also
scored in double figures for Penn State.
Val DePaolov led BU with 15 points.
The Lady Lions, without the services of
last year's leading scorer Carol Wall;ler
man on the trip, grabbed a 43-37 halftime
advantage and extended that lead main
ly at the foul line.

"We got a lot accomplished as a
team," Edelman said. "Our trainero
(John Norwig) has a saying before every;
game. Tonight he said, "There's no 'l' in
team," and I think that kind of carried;
over."
Mumma and Forjan, both sophomores,
who have improved in . the past year,:
typified the effort. e:
Early in the second period, the Lions'
saw a 15-point lead reduced to five 42-1
37 with 7 1 / 2 minutes left. But after a
Penn State time-out, Forjan got a pass,to: ,
Mumma at the post, who then hit a short
turnaround jump shot. Penn State then
increased its lead to nine when Forjan r
again passed to Mumma at the post, who:
put up an easy four-foot jumper.
"You have to credit Jim Forjan for two.:•
great passes," Mumma said. "I had the.;
man sealed, and he made two really good t;
passes. (But) last year I couldn't have,:'
made (the shots) because of my sealing-,
ability. I was used to playing outside, and
I couldn't really hold the man in that, !
postion for that peiod of time." •
That's part of the maturing process.,:.
Which is a part of team basketball,
"I love the idea of everyone contribut-:,
ing," he said. "I love the idea of Jimmy
Forjan and Dick Mumma making those
plays. That's the thrill of last year for
me. They couldn't have made those two
plays (then), and they were great basket- :
ball plays."
Having everyone able to step in is
particularly important for the Lions. And
the size of the team is helping make it y,
play as one, Mumma said.
"(In practice) there's more individual ':
attention, and when you have individual
attention, it ties into the team," he said.
"We know we have to stick together and '7
show some people in the community we
can win a few games."
Portland said. "But we've got more 3 ,
talent and our team hustled for every
loose ball."
Portland also said she was surprised
by the play of Fultz and Herbert, who has
only two years experience of competitive i
basketball. Fultz, a walk-on, played the
entire second half at guard to take some . 1 1
