CINCINNATI (AP) John McEnroe
meets Guillermo Vilas in the opening
match of the Davis Cup finals at Riverf
ront Coliseum today, and U.S. Captain
Arthur Ashe couldn't be more pleased.
Roscoe Tanner takes on Argentina's
Jose Luis Clerc in the second singles
match Friday. Tomorrow, McEnroe and
Peter Fleming will team up in doubles
against Vilas and Clerc, with Sunday's
final two singles matches pitting McEn
roe against Clerc and Tanner against
Vilas.
.."It makes it easier for Roscoe," Ashe
said of the first-match pairing of McEn
roe, the world's top-ranked player, and
sixth-ranked Vilas.
If McEnroe wins as expected, Tanner
would not be faced with having to win his
match against Clerc to even the series.
And, even if McEnroe should lose, Tan
ner, ranked 11th in the world, doesn't
have the added pressure of starting the
three-day series.
Vilas holds a career winning edge over
McEnroe, 6-5. But McEnroe holds a 2-1
edge over the sixth-ranked Argentine on
the semi-fast indoor carpet, the surface
that will be used here.
-And Vilas also has been bothered with
a: sore throat and cold because of the
near-freezing temperatures and snowy
weather in this Ohio River city.
"It's better for him than for me," Vilas
said of the carpet surface. "I will have to
serve and volley more, attack more."
,Vilas has said that he gives Argentina
a 30 percent chance of winning the covet
ed Davis Cup for the first time. The
United States, playing in the finals for
the 52nd time, is going after its 27th,title.
"we lost almost all of our matches
(against McEnroe and Tanner) on faster
surfaces," Vilas said, explaining his rea
soning for making the U.S. such a heavy
favorite. "That's what the history says,
but we are here to change it."

Davis Cup win
the slow surface preferred by the Argen
tinians, then he would give the Ameri
cans only a 30 percent chance of winning.
In their last Davis Cup meeting, Argen
tina defeated the United States 4-1 last
year in Buenos Aires on clay. Argentina
also won at home in, 1977, while the
United States has captured all four meets
played between the two countries in the
United States.
"The crowd in Argentina (last year)
just felt like anything they did was okay
because it helped their team to win,"
McEnroe remembered. "You just
couldn't believe how it was. The crowds
in the United States aren't at all like that."
McEnroe, the 22-year-old left-hander
who captured both Wimbledon and the
U.S. Open this year, has a 16-3 record in
Davis Cup play. Tanner is 9-3.
Behind the New Yorker, the United
States has advanced to the finals by
beating Mexico 3-2, defending champion
Czechoslovakia 4-1 and Australia 5-0.
Argentina has eliminated West Ger
many 3-2, Romania 3-2 and Great Britain
/
4-1.
Vilas has won 36 of his 43 Davis Cup
matches, while Clerc has a record of 13-7
in this team competition.
Ashe named Tanner to the U.S. squad
when his first choice, Jimmy Connors,
turned down a spot on the team. Connors
broke his self-imposed Davis Cup exile to
help the Americans stop Czechoslovakia
last July in New York.
Asked why Connors had decided not to
play in the finals, Ashe said the world's
third-ranked player,said "he was getting
ready for the (Volvo Grand Prix) Mas
ters" which will be held in New 'York in
January.
"Fair enough,' I said. 'Good luck in
the Masters,' Ashe said he told Connors.
"We would be marginally strong with
Connors," the American captain ad
mitted. "We wanted Jimmy to play.
"Now we're a great team. With McEn
roe and Connors, we would have been
awesome."

Eagles, Stealers to come up short
By BRUCE LOWITT
AP Sports Writer
Dallas, Cincinnati and Tampa Bay each need only one
more victory to clinch a division title in the 15th
weekend of the National Football League season. The
Cowboys and Bengals will get theirs, the Buccaneers
won't.
Philadelphia still has the best defense in the league,
but it's going up against one of the best offenses. And it's'
doing it in Texas, where the Cowboys rarely lose. And
the Eagles have lost three in a row, while Dallas has
won three straight. Stick with the streaks.
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh will have their starting
quarterbacks riding the bench, but that won't be the
difference. The Bengals' defense has been far superior
to Pittsburgh's.

Wrestlers' loss a bitter pill
LEE DeORIO
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Penn State's 19-17 setback at- Michi
gan on Wednesday was very difficult
for the Nittany Lions to swallow. It was
a heartbreaking and controversial loss
one that will not be easily forgotten.
They led 17-13 going into the final
match, but heavyweight Jim Sleeper
was disqualified for stalling.
The Nittany Lions have no time to
mourn over their defeat, however.
This weekend they travel to Lock Ha
ven to wrestle in the rugged Mat Town
U.S.A. Tournament, which will feature
top teams such as Tennessee, Blooms
burg and Michigan State.
The Spartan wrestlers, in particular,
better be aware of Penn State because
the Lions are very apt to mangle any
opponent even vastly related to Michi
gan.
The controversy swirling around the
meet with the Wolverines sterns from
the results of the last two matches,
between Penn State's Joel Johnson and
Michigan's Pat' McKay at 190 and
Sleeper and the Wolverine's Eric Klas
son, and both involved stalling.

At 190 pounds, McKay took a 2-0 lead
and was riding Johnson effectively
perhaps too effectively.
"All of a sudden, McKay is trying to
hold on instead of working for the fall,"
Penn State head coach Rich Lorenzo
said. "Joel stops for 10_ seconds , and
gets warned for stalling. The ref didn't
call it like this for the first eight
matches.
"He called the match for the first
eight weight classes one way and then,
for the last two, he calls them com
pletely opposite. I don't like to com
plain about referees because I believe
you control your own destiny, but this
guy was totally inconsistent."
The inconsistency became evident
when Johnson took McKay down in the
third period, and the Wolverine decid
ed to take a breather.
"McKay didn't even try to get out,"
Lorenzo said. "The ref let him go a
minute and 20 seconds without warn
ing him. It was his (McKay) first
match back after an injury and he was
really tired."
McKay hung on to defeat Johnson, 3-
2 and cut Penn State's lead to four

division.
In the meet's final match, Sleeper
was warned four times, which cost him
four valuable points, until with only 17
seconds left in the match, he was
warned a fifth time and disqualified. It
was then that Lorenzo went into his
Billy Martin imitation.
"I blew my stack because I don't like
being robbed." Lorenzo said. "I wasn't
angry so much for the referee disqual
ifying Sleeper, but for not penalizing
McKay. He was doing the same - thing
Sleeper was."
However, Lorenzo said the Nittany
Lions did' not lose because of the offi
ciating.
"The referee doesn't win or lose
matches," Lorenzo said. "It shouldn't
have come down to a point where the
ref had an opportunity to control the
match."
The turning point in the match may
have come at 167 pounds when John
Hanrahan struggled to a 4-1 decision
over Michigan's Scott Rechsteiner.

needed a superior decision from him,"

Urerizo said. " I think maybe him and
Jim (Sleeper) were a little tight. Being
seniors, they felt like they had to carry
the team on their shoulders."
The Nittany Lions now must put the
Michigan meet in the past, or better
yet, use it in a positive manner.
"The team was upset but there's
nothing you can do about it," Lorenzo
said. "We have to learn from this and
make sure the refs don't have an
opportunity to control a match."
For the Lock Haven tournament, the
Nittany Lions will field a lineup of Carl

"It's a Very difficult tournament,"
Lorenzo said. "It will be a battle

tion."
The tournament begins with quar
terfinal action at 11 tomorrow morning
and semi-finals at 7:30 tomorrow

San Diego minus 3 over TAMPA BAY: The Chargers
have not only the best passing game around but the
worst pass defense. The guess is that the former,
bolstered by a couple of Chuck Muncie bursts, will
overcome the latter.
CLEVELAND plus 2 1 k over New York Jets: The Jets
never have beaten the Browns. Let's make believe
they're playing Seattle again. UPSET SPECIAL.
Denver minus 9 1 / 2 over Seattle: The Broncos, unbeat
en at home this year, are already a mile high. They'll
bring Dave Krieg down to earth.
Buffalo minus 3 1 / 2 over NEW ENGLAND: The Patri
ots are making a run for the No.l draft choice. They
won't catch Baltimore this week. BEST BET.

National League approves Phils sale
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) The National League
has bestowed its official blessing on the $30.175
million sale of the Philadelphia Phillies to a group
headed by Bill Giles.
The quick, 11-0 vote came yesterday at the request
of former owner Ruly Carpenter during baseball's
annual winter meetings here. The deal is to be closed
officially Monday when the check is turned over in
Philadelphia.
"I hope we can carry on the tradition of the
Carpenter family, and my father," said Giles, a 47-
year-old Rochester, N.Y., native whose late father,
Warren, was president of the National League.
"It's a great honor to run a ball club and we will run
the best we can afford, and let me emphasize 'we can
afford,' " added Giles.
Executive vice president of the Phillies since 1972,
Giles heads the limited partnership that bought the
team in October.
After the approval, Carpenter said he felt the same
way he did when he offered the club for sale last year
during spring training tired of the bickering with
the players, fed up with the esealating salary struc-

"It's hard to be part of something for 38 years and
all of a sudden say you're getting out," Carpenter
said. "But if the club had to be sold,' my family is
pleased that Bill Giles was able to form a group to
buy it.
Giles said his first priority was signing third
baseman Mike Schmidt, the league's Most Valuable
Player for the second straight year who has one year
left on a six-year pact.
The team will also have to negotiate to keep Pete
Rose in a Phillies' uniform in 1984.
"(Rose) definitely does want to play. He wants to
break Ty Cobb's record (for the most hits ever by a
major leaguer), and I'd just as soon it happen in a
Philadelphia uniform," Giles said.
Giles will share ownership of the team with:
