Women spikers look to
By PETE WALDRON
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Last year at the NCAA men's basket
ball championships, St. Joseph's upset
No. 1 ranked DePaul and nixed the Blue
Demons chances of winning the 1981
national championship.
:Women's volleyball coach Russ Rose is
hoping the Lady Lions will be the spoiler
for the rest of this year's NCAA women's
volleyball championships. Especially at
7 .(EST) tomorrow night when the Lady
Lions tackle fourth-seeded University of
Ppcific at Northwestern.
."Tournament time is upset time,"
Rime said. "Last year St. Joes defeated
DpPaul in the NCAA basketball
championships. Hopefully, we are going
to be the St. Joes of women's, volleyball.
;"We have to stay together and serve
tough and.we're capable of doing that.
If, we serve easy, they are going to beat
us because their offense is great. We
have to hope we can control their perfor
mance. A lot will come down to serving
and passing.
"We have to hope we can control their
performance," Rose said. "If we play
well we are going to make Pacific work."
:But Pacific is no pansy team and
Rose knows that. They play the game
yearround in California and Rose said
this keeps the. Lady Tigers' competitive
edge up.
The Lady Tigers, three time Nor Cal
Conference champions and 24-11 this
season, were runner-ups in the national
tournament last year to Southern Califor
nia. Last week they upset third-ranked
UCLA, 15-13, 15-7, 15-4, in the first three
games. Rose was not surprised they
demolished UCLA. He knows they have
talent lots of it.
,With a list headed by 6-2 All-America
middle-blocker Jayne Gibson and top
freshman recruits Jan Saunders (5-9
setter) and Linda Vaughn (5-10 setter),
no wonder Rose believes. Pacific should
be the No. 2 or 3 team in the nation.
But enter NCAA match against Pacific 'realistically'
Lady Lion Lori Barberich (left) and the
women's volleyball championship. Penn
"We cannot key in on any one player,"
Rose said. "Pacific's got balance, depth
he's (Pacific coach, Dr. Terry Liske
vych) got everything. I know we are the
underdogs. We are up against a pretty
formidable foe and it is going to take the
best game of the year to beat them.
"They are capable of winning the na
tional championship we are not. We
may be the top team in the East, but they
are one of the top teams in the nation."
Could this be true? Russell D. Rose,
proud of his winning traditions in East
ern women's volleyball, going into a
match pessimistically?
women's volleyball team hope to spoil the University of Pacific's quest for the NCAA
State takes on Pacific at 7. (EST) tomorrow night' at Northwestern. •
"No, realistically," Rose said. "Our
chances of beating them are just as good
as any other teams but it's not 50-50.
Don't get me wrong. I want to win, but
it's going to be tough.
"We control our own destiny. This
,is
not a mail-in ballot or computerized
volleyball game we have to do what we
do best on our side of the net.
"It's college girls playing volleyball
against college girls," Rose said. "The
only difference is they have a sun tan."
The Lady Lions had little time to catch
some rays for they have been drilling
hard all week. Rose has been rattling his
be spoilers
brain. trying to find the right plan to
hopefully stop the Lady Tigers.
"I am hoping the (Pacific) freshmen
can be rattled. I am hoping they don't
respond well to the cold weather and I
hope we play well.
"If those three things happen, we just
may be the St. Joes , of women's volley
ball."
SPIKES AND DIGS If the Lady Lions
win tomorrow they will play the winner
of the Northwestern/Cal Poly-San Luis
Obispo game at 3 p.m. (EST) Sunday.
The winners will then advance to the
semi-finals and finals at UCLA next
weekend. •

Cards, Padres swap
shortstops
By HAL BOCK
AP Sports Writer
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) The
St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego
Padres, locked in day-long negotia
tions for shortstops Garry Temple
ton and Ozzie Smith, announced
what they called a "partial trade" at
baseball's winter meetings yester
day.
The Cardinals will send outfielder
Sixto Lezcano and a playei to be
named later presumably Temple
ton to the Padres for pitcher Steve
Mura and a player to be named later
ostensibly Smith.
The shortstops were not included
in the immediate announcement be
cause of difficulties in the renegotia
tion of their contracts. Templeton is
entering the third year of a six-year,
$4.4 million deal and Smith makes a
reported $300,000 a year on his con
tract.
Earlier the shortstops were "re
ported to be the key men in a much
larger swap between the teams, and
because the trade was within the
same league, there was no deadline
facing the clubs. But general man
agers Whitey Herzog• of the Cardi
nals and Jack McKeon of the Padres
decided to go ahead on the portion of
the deal to which they had agreed.
The winter meetings conclude to
night at midnight the inter-league
trading deadline.
Herzog was asked specifically if
Smith and Templeton were the other
. players involved in the trade.
"Not necessarily," he replied,
grinning.
Mura and Lezcano seemed to be
the appetizers with the main dishes
still ahead.
Mura, 26, a right-hander, was 5=14
with a 4:27 ERA in 23 games for the
Padres last season. His career re-
in trade
cord is 17-27 in three full seasons at
San Diego.
Lezcano, one of the many players
Herzog traded for at these meetings
a year ago, batted .266 with five
homers and 28 RBI last season. He
had demanded a trade.
Meanwhile, the Ron Guidry sign
ing sweepstakes entered their final
stages as John Schneider, attorney
for the free agent left-hander, pre!
pared for a late-night meeting with
New York Yankee owner George
Steinbrenner.
Schneider and Steinbrenner was
set to meet beginning at 11 p.m.
"My gut reaction is we can work
something out with the Yankees,"
Schneider said, indicating that the
pitcher may be prepared to stay in
New York where he has been the ace
of the staff since 1977.
The trade market was quiet fol
lowing a late Wednesday night deal
in which Detroit sent pitchers Dan
Schatzeder and Mike Chris to San
Francisco for outfielder Larry Hern
don.
In another development, outfield
er Tom Paciorek rejected a final
contract offer from Seattle and it
appeared the Mariners would corn
plywith his demand to be traded, if
not by the end of the week then
shortly after that.
With trading stalled, Guidry's con
tract status became a central issue.
Schneider had promised a decision
by the end of the convention and the
long-awaited meeting with Stein
brenner was 'expected to hasten it.
"We'll stay in (the bidding) all the
way," Steinbrenner said before the
meeting. "We'll stay in and never be
out. The Yankees will never say to
him, 'We're out of it.' "
Battered icers to face Delaware
By PAUL ALEXANDER
- Daily Collegian Sports Writer
A battered and bruised men's ice hock
ey team will travel to the University of
Delaware tomorrow to meet a team
that's been playing excellent hockey.
The Lions will be without the services
of their second leading goal scorer, Brad
Rush. He suffered a fractured right hand
against Cortland State last weekend.
They'll also be playing without de
fenseman Dave Hornack and left wing
Wayne Powers. Hornack has been ham
pered by a pinched nerve in his neck and
Powers has strained ligaments in his
knee. Both players have been large con
tributers to the Lions' impressive 8-2
record.
Aside from coming off a very demand
ing weekend with Cortland State —where
dental work and stitches were common,
along with one fractured bone the
Lions will be facing a team that soundly
* beat Penn State rival Villanova and lost
by one goal in overtime toNavy.

home," Lion tri-captain Joe Battista
said. "We haven't played them for two

Lady swimmers on the road for 2
By CHRIS WIGHTMAN
Daily Collegian Spirts Writer
Senior Sandy Bizal, who has been hampered recently by
arthritis in
,her elbow, will not be in the pool tonight at
Princeton when the women's swim team goes against last
year's Eastern champion, Princeton University.
'Fri-captain Bizal, an All-American for the Lady Lions, was
kept out of last week's PSU Relays because of the injury, which
her doctor diagnosed as either arthritis or a broken piece of
cartilage.
"The doctor told me to stay out of the water until it gets
better," Bizal said. "I've had this problem ever since childhood
and it usually comes and goes. Right now it's hanging on longer
than usual. I thought it would never be like this."
Bizal, who is on a therapy program for her elbow, said the
swelling is going down and that she is getting a better range of
movement in her elbow.
"I'm starting to feel better already," she said optimistically.
Joining Bizal on the doubtful list is freshman Sue Beau
champ, who swims the breaststroke and is in the individual
medley for the Lady Lions. She is currently having knee
problems.
However, sophoniore Cindy Post, who was also sidelined for
the relays, will be back in the lineup for Princeton and the Lady

er, this year's team is supposed -to be
their toughest in a while."
A bright spot for the Lions is the fact
that their most productive line of Toby
Ritner, Joe Grainda and Matt Glass is
healthy and, according to Glass, the line
has worked well together this week in
practice.
Grainda leads the team in goals with 11
and also leads the team in total points
with 23. Ritner and Rush are the second
leading goal-getters with nine apiece.
The Lions as a team have outscored
their opponents 67-43, an average - of 6.7
goals for per game and 4.3 goals against.
Despite their average margin of victory,
the 4.3 goals against average does indi
cate that the Lions have been rather
suspect on defense.
"In order to beat Delaware we're going
to have to play a better overall game
defensively," Glass said. "That doesn't
just mean the defensemen. The offense
has to get back more effectively and we
have to have a man in the outer slot.
"We've also been working on stopping
the oppoging team from executing its
breakout play so easily. It seems we're
not getting enough pressure out of our
Krimmel, who said the team had to work on several things
this week if it is going to beat Princeton, was generally pleased
with the way practices went the past week.
"Practice went very well this week," Krimmel said. "We've
had good workouts every day."
Krimmel also said the Lady Lions are very excited about
traveling to a meet for a change.
"We've been swimming in this same pool since December 3,
and the girls are very eager to travel," he said. "Plus a lot of
the girls' parents will be making either the Princeton meet or
the Villanova meet. So we'll have a big following."
However, the Lady Lionns will need more than a big following
to beat Princeton, a team Krimmel said is difficult to accu
rately assess.
"They had a' meet last Saturday," Krimmel said, "but their
swimmers only swam twice, so it's difficult to understand their
times. (Princeton coach) Jane Tyler is an excellent coach and
always comes up with surprises."
Lions' meet at Villanova tomorrow afternoon
"Cindy Post will definitely swim this weekend," said Penn
State coach Bob Krimmel. "She's looked good in practice all
week."
forechecking. We have to bottle up Dela
ware in its own end."
Lion head coach Jon Shellington has
been forced to fill some vacancies cre
ated by the injuries. Roger Furce will
occupy Rush's left wing spot alongside
Clark Dexter and Norm Jacobs, and
freshman Bill Mayer will play a regular
shift on defense.
"I've been stressing technique in prac
tice and Larry (Rocha, Lion assistant
coach) has been drilling them physical
ly," Shellington said. "We're still not in
shape after that two week lay-off over
Thanksgiving.
"I also implemented two new options
to our power play. I'm hoping that they
will pay off against Delaware."
"Our o pride was a little hurt last week
end in that second game with Cortland
State (a 9-4 loss)," Shellington added,
"but we worked on those mistakes and
have more or less got the fine tuning
readjusted."
The Lions won't return to the Indoor
Sports Complex until after Christmas
break, but they'll be home to stay at that
point. Penn State will play 10 consecutive
home games starting Jan. 8.
