Hoosierland has
everything for
basketball fan
In my 21 years, I’ve seen and done and
been involved in things that are often
“officially” labeled “experiences.”
In junior high, there was “The Disney
World Experience.” On my senior high
school class trip to New York, we saw a
slide show extravaganza about the city in
the McGraw-Hill Building called “The
New York Experience.” And for the last
four years, my Saturdays in the fall have
been spent as part of the “experience” of
Penn State football.
The first definition of the term “experi
ence” in the “Illustrated Heritage Dic
tionary and Information Book” is “the
apprehension of an object, thought or
ejnotion through the senses or mind.”
That qualifies all of the above as legiti
mate experiences.
All are objects and thoughts and emo
tions at the same time. The characters
and rituals and sights that are involved
with each, seep into the mind and eyes,
drawing you into what is going on, fas
cinating and tantalizing you, leaving you
almost awed with what surrounds you.
Last weekend I had the chance to
witness another thing that is definitely an
“experience” Indiana Hoosier basket
ball.
Being a college basketall fan ever
since I was 11,1 knew Indiana basketball
was an “experience” before I knew Penn
State football was, and I knew it was
something I had to see, somehow some
day. And I wasn’t disappointed.
The world of Hoosiers revolves around
their Assembly Hall, where they play
their games and where the Indiana Uni
versity Athletic Department is head
quartered. The 17,000-seat arena opened
for the 1971-72 season and now is more
commonly called in the state as the
“House that Bobby Built,” referring to
Indiana coach Bob Knight’s 133-12 record
in games played there.
“But it’s really ‘The House that George
Built,’ ” said an Indiana student who
works part-time for a Bloomington radio
station covering IU games. “When
George McGinnis played here in 1971,
they played their games in the field
house (right beside the Hall). And they
wanted to get this place finished for him
to play in the next season.
“But he went hardship that year.”
So now it is Knight’s domain, the red
and-white walled building. And those
walls around the athletic offices are.
covered with about 20 five-foot by 10-foot
pictures of every Indiana team that has
won a Big Ten championship or co
championship and that has played in the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
or the National Invitational tourna
ments.
The pictures of the Hoosiers’ four
NCAA championship teams are the first
things you see when you walk in the main
door and stand in the red-carpeted lobby.
The hallways in the office section of the
Hall are covered with deep red pile
carpeting.
There’s even red carpeting (with IU in
white cut into it in five different places)
surrounding the Hall’s new trophy case,
which, generously enough, hold trophies
won by other teams besides basketball.
The carpet was installed Friday af
ternoon, and the installers left a mess of
red scraps behind for the women jani
tors.
“Isn’t it nice?” one said as she
watched the other sweep the scraps up.
“This is $37-a-yard carpet.”
“Thirty-sevea?” the sweeper said
rather incredulously.
“Yeah,” the other replied. “But Ca :
sey’s Carpets donated it because Mr.
Casey is a member of the Alumni Club or
something.”
“Yeah, but they still left too much of a
mess,” the sweeper finished crossly.
Assembly Hall on a game night is a
Beaver Stadium microcosm. Two large
parking lots sit behind the Hall, and the
fans make the walk from their cars to the
building passing on Friday night the
ticket .«>■ ilpers and on Saturday night the
peop> .louting, “Who’s got tickets?
Who’s g >t extra tickets?”
It was another first for me. I’d never
seen anyone scalping tickets to a college
basketball game before.
Once inside, the fans make their way to
red-and-white-covered seats in the main
stands and the small red bleacher sec
tions on" the main floor. Going down to
court level for the first time is the most
impressive thing about the Hall. You go
down two flights of steps and a short,
dimly-lit hallway before suddenly walk
ing into the brightly lit main gym.
More red. Red all over the walls and
seats. And everyone is wearing some
thing red and white. The ushers are in
red jackets. Others have on red jackets,
red sweaters, red T-shirts, red skirts, red
cowboy hats with white “I”s on them.

TV deal between CFA, NBC falls through
NEW YORK (AP) The $lBO million
contract between NBC-TV and the Col
lege Football Association died yesterday
when the CFA was unable to get enough
of its 61 miembers to' go along with the
pact, the network said.
Arthur A. Watson, president of NBC
Sports, said he was advised by CFA
Executive Director Chuck Neinas at 5
p.m. EST that CFA could not get enough
members to ratify the four-year deal
which would have guaranteed each CFA
Pryts and linebacking:
Till death do them part
By MIKE POORMAN
Daily Collegain Sports Writer
Ever since Ed Pryts was little
Eddie Pryts, an 8-year-old toughie in
the-midget football league back in
Brookfield, Ohio, he knew he wanted
to be a linebacker.
Even then, he was working quietly
and steadily towards that goal.
He starred at linebacker on the
Brookfield Junior High team, and the
same was later true on his senior high
football team.
Oh, sure, along the way he played
some offense, too. In fact, as the
starting quarterback for the Brook
field High Warriors his senior year,
Pryts threw for 10 touchdown passes
and rushed for more than 700 yards
while operating out of the Delaware
WingT.
But it was his prowess as a line
backer that got Pryts named third
team all-state his junior year, and
first team all-state his senior year.
Prowess that attracted Penn State,
“Linebacker U.” Other schools
wanted Pryts too, some even as a
quarterback.
“I always knew I’d play defense
and be a linebacker,” says Pryts,
who narrowed his choices down to
Ohio State and Penn State.
“Penn State told me I was going to
be a iinebacker but there was no
runaround. They didn’ t tell me I was
going to start right away or anything
like that.”
Pryts knew he had to work quietly
and steadily towards that goal. \
The first guy Pryts met at Penn
State was Matt Bradley, and the pair
quickly became best friends. Bradley
was to play linebacker as well. Pryts
also met a third budding linebacker,
Chet Parlavecchio, and together the
trio (all starters now) spent their
freshman year on the foreign team.
“After your freshman season,
you’re ready,” Pryts says. “But it
gets frustrating, like you want to
pack your bags and leave. I didn’t
ever really consider it though.”
Rams' 21-16 win hurts Falcons' playoff chances
LOS ANGELES (AP) Wendell Tyler ran for
two touchdowns, the second with 7:43, left to play,
and led the Los Angeles Rams to a 21-16 victory over
Atlanta last night, severely dampening the Falcons’
National Football League playoff hopes.
The Rams trailed 16-14 until they went on an 80-
yard march in the fourth quarter that was sustained
by two pass-interference penalties against Atlanta.
The Falcons’ Bobby Butler was charged with one
of the pass interference calls, wiping out his appar

member $1 million.
The contract was signed earlier this
year in opposition to the National Colle
giate Athletic Association’s own new
four-year agreement with ABC and CBS.
In a statement, Watson said:
“NBC Sports is naturally disappointed
that we will not be in a position to pursue
the objectives of our innovative prime
time college football package.”
The CFA, which consists of all the
nation’s major college football schools
‘Fiesta ‘Bowl
His sophomore season was pretty
much the same, although he moved
up to where he was Steve Griffiths’
back-up.
“It was a long way from being in
high school (and) being a star,”
Pryts says. “The people here were all
No. 1. Each player came here with
the same goal.”
. Still, he was improving steadily and
quietly. Perhaps too quietly. At the
beginning of last season, Lion coach
Joe Paterno said, “Ed needs to be
more intense.”
“I just go out and do my jbb,” Pryts
counters. “You need somebody like
Chet on the team, but you can’t have
everybody like that. I get fired up like
that —inside. Everybody has a style
special to himself.”
By his junior year, Pryts’ style was
good enough to earn him the chance
to start. Also, he says, because “I
worked my butt off.”
He did it in a low key way, and
that’s the way he still plays, almost
because he has to, positioned between
emotional types like Bradley and
Parlavecchio.
“I’m a nut and Chet’s a nut,”
Bradley says, “and Ed’s the one who
keeps us both sane.
“He’s a steady person all the time.
He rarely gets in moods and that’s the
way he is on the field. He’s really
consistent and doesn’t get excited. He
just plays his own steady game;
that’s why we call him ‘Steady Ed
die.’ ”
Because of his temperament and
intelligence, Pryts is responsible for
calling the defensive signals. On each
play, Parlavecchio will call out the
formation and Pryts will respond by

ent interception and 42-yard touchdown run. That
call moved Los Angeles 25 yards to its 44-yard line.
Two plays later, the Falcons’ Kenny Johnson was
cited for pass interference, giving the Rams a 49-
yard advance to the Atlanta 7-yard line. Tyler then
skirted right end for the winning touchdown.
The Falcons had a late chance to pull out a victory
when, with the ball at the Los Angeles 28, Rod Perry
intercepted a Steve Bartkowski pass at the 7-yard
line with 1:39 to play.

“The person in charge of that must

he gets riled up sometimes.
“But he’s smart enough to know
that he has a great responsibility and
has to recognize certain things, so he
has to remain calm.”

Picture Heidi Anderson and Marcy
Levine as a comedy team,
Anderson would play the straight, no
nonsense role ala Bud Abbott, Dean
Martin and Ed McMahon. Her precise
and calculating manner would make her
perfect for the role.
Levine would be the clown, the joker,
much like Lou Costello, Jerry Lewis and
Johnny Carson. Her fun-loving style
would make her perfect opposite Ander
son. What a hit they’d be.
Rut Anderson and Levine are gym
nasts and while they don’t team up to
make people laugh, they do combine to
make Penn State women’s gymnastics
opponents cry with their unique style and
talent. 9
“I’d have to say that Heidi and Marcy
are very important to us,” head coach
Judi Avener said, at a recent practice. “I
don’t like to rate the girls in any order.
But Heidi and Marcy are definitely our
best all-around gymnasts.”
Anderson and Levine proved that fact
in the Lady Lions’ season-opening win
over Clarion State on Saturday.
Anderson had' simply a sensational
day, winning three events and tying
Levine for the top spot in the other. She
had scores of 9.00 and above all afternoon
and looked to be in mid-season form. Her
performances were far more entertain
ing than even that of the Clarion Golden
Eagle, who tried to delight the crowd
with falls off the balance beam.
Levine had what assistant coach Mar
shall Avener called “a disappointing
The Atlanta loss did not necessarily knock the
Falcons out of the playoffs, but they must beat the
Cincinnati Bengals next Sunday to have a shot at an
NFC wild card berth. The Atlanta defeat gave the
Philadelphia Eagles one of the, conference’s wild
card spots.
If Atlanta beats Cincinnati Sunday, it would finish
8;8 and have a chance at the wild card only if the
New York Giants and Green Bay Packers lose.
Tyler’s first touchdown came on a 6-yard jaunt
day” but her all-around total of 34.95 is
still a score that most gymnasts would do
a belly flop off the beam for.
She tied for first with Anderson on the 1
vault (both had a 9.00), finished second
on the uneven bars and was third in the
floor exercise.
Perhaps it was a sub-par day for the*
1979 national floor exercise champion
and regional titlist on the beam in, both
1979 and 1980. Still, her performance
coupled with Anderson’s formed a pow
erful one-two punch that should be the
Lady Lions’ trademark throughout the
season.
Not that the Lady Lions are a two
gymnast team.
Karen Polak, Linda Tardiff, Joanne
Beltz and freshman Joanna Sime could
probably perform for any team in the
country.
But with Penn State down to just eight
gymnasts this season because of injuries,
the pressure falls on leaders like Ander
son and Levine to be better than ever.
The two have somewhat different
views on the subject.
“I don’t think there’s more pressure on
us because of our lack of depth,” Ander
son said during a workout. “The other
teams know we don’t have the depth this
year and they don’t expect us to do well.
So we don’t have the pressure and can
just go out and do our best and see what
happens.”
“Everyone always expects Penn State
to be good,” Levine said. “But we don’t
feel a lot pressure to do well. There’s
more pressure on us in the practices not
to do anything stupid.
league’s eight members would back it.
The CFA voted 33-20 with five absten
tions several months ago in favor of the
package. The NCAA had threatened re
prisals against members signing it. All 61
CFA members also belong to the NCAA..
Penn State is a.member of the CFA and
athletic director and head football coach
Joe Paterno was a leading proponent of
the television deal.
There also was no word on how yester
day’s action would affect lawsuits
their outgoing personalities, got a
little more publicity. But hll three see
themselves as a trio of equals.
“We’ve reached the point, the three
of us, that we know where the other is
going to be,” Parlavecchio says.
“We’ve developed it to a situation to
where I know if I do something,
Eddie’s there, and Eddie knows if he
wants to do something, I’ll back him
up.”
“Ed,” Bradley says, “doesn’t take
a back seat to anyone. He could
possibly be the best linebacker we
have. And that’s all kidding aside.”
With his Nittany Lion career steadi
ly reaching a close, two things loom
on Pryts’ football horizon. One is the

The thorny issue of TV property rights

major victory for the NCAA.

“There’s a lot of emotion about it,”
he says. “If we win this last game, it
will be my best memory.”
The other is the draft in the spring
by the National Football League,
which has a particular fondness for
Penn State linebackers.
“That’s a plus. We play so many
we’re used to the thinking

you can play for us, you’re good

around left end to tie the score at 7-7 early in the
second.quarter.
The other Los Angeles score came on a three-yard
burst by Mike Guman that staked the Rams to a 14-
10 halftime lead.
Mick Luckhurst kicked field goals of 45,25 and 22
yards for the Falcons, the last giving Atlanta a 16-14
advantage 6:20 into the final period.
The only Atlanta touchdown came on a 2-yard run
by Lynn Cain late in the opening period.
“We don’t want to get hurt doing some
thing unnecessary,” Levine continued.
“We must be more aware and make sure
we’re strong enough to handle the tricks
we attempt.
“It might look like we’re watering
down our routines. Blit, it’s just that we
have to do things when we feel most
confident about doing them.”

But the thing that catches the eye are the banners.
In the west end of the.gym are the red banners with
the white letters marking the Hoosiers’ appearance
in the NCAA Final Four in 1973, their 29-0 season of
1974-75 and the United Press International national
championship and their 1979 NIT title.
On the east side, with no more than four inches
separating them, are the four NCAA championship
banners —1940,1953,1976 and 1981. Only in UCLA’s
Pauley Pavilion do more of them hang.
The Hoosiers played in the Indiana Classic’s 7
o’clock game Friday night. The crowd was cheering
and the Indiana Alumni band was playing fight
songs as they warmed up at 6:30. The Alumni Band
is a group of 50 Hoosier alumni ranging in age from
early 20s to over 60 who dress in red jackets and red
and white hats and play for the home games, getting
the crowd motivated by playing Indiana standards.
Len Carlson is an Indiana State basketball scout
who scouted Indiana’s first-round opponent, Colora
do State, Friday night. He was sitting in the first
row of the press area, and when he heard someone
say something to me about being from Penn State,
he turned around and asked if I’d ever been to the
Diner and what was the name of that bar on the
corner where you had to go down the stairs to get
to?
“Zeno’s,” I said.

VI guess football’s like a religion out there,” he
said, “a lot like basketball is here. They tell a story
here about how one 'Hoosier died and went to
Heaven, and when he got there he asked St. Peter
where they played basketball so he could go and
watch.
“St. Peter said, ‘Go to your left and go down nine
clouds.’ So the guy followed the directions, and
when he got there, he saw kids playing games all
over. But there was one guy who was throwing
temper fits and throwing kids all around and getting
real excited.
“So the guy turns to someone and says, ‘ls that
Bobby Knight?’ And the other guys says, ‘No. It’s
God, but he always wanted to be Bobby Knight.’
That’s the way they feel about basketball here.”

chie and John Flowers and said, “That’s an
Indiana all-state line-uD.”
Nine of the 12 Hoosiers were all-state selections in
Indiana.
“We’ve got a guard, Chuck Franz,” the student
from the radio station’ said Saturday night, “who
isn’t even that good. But he contacted Knight and
said all he ever wanted to do was play for Bobby
Knight and Indiana. That’s the dream here. And
Knight likes that in a guy.”
The old Hoosier watcher knew his history, too.
When he looked at the Penn State roster, he com
mented on the presence of Wally Choice.
“His dad played here op. the 1953-54 team,” the
man said. “Had the same name, too Wally.”
But when the Lions came out to warm up before
their game, the man said, “That Wally Choice is a
lot better looking than his father.” 1
The crowds love those players. They’re very
vocal in their support, particulary for 7-2 freshman
Uwe (pronounced U-vay) Blabb (Blubb) from West
Germany by way of the Rotary Exchange Student
program and Effingham, 111. Every time he at
tempted to touch the ball against Colorado, the
crowd shouted, “U-vay” in unison Hoosier twangs.
The crowd’s favorite this year, though, doesn’t
play. But it always gives Landon Turner, the
Hoosier senior who was paralyzed in a car accident
in July, a standing ovation when he’s rolled, in his
wheelchair, onto the court.

court before the game, Wittman, Kitchel and Bou
chie shook hands with the Lions’ Craig Buffie and
Mike Edelman.
“Why don’t they roll Turner out there?” I asked
Jeff.
“That’s old,” he replied. "They did that before
the Miami game.”
The crowd would have loved it again anyway.
The only time Indiana crowds are quiet are when
Bobby Knight yells. Otherwise, there’s constant
noise of some kind, and the crowd is always in the
game. In the second half of the championship game,
after the Hoosiers’ lead over the Lions was cut from
28 to 23 points and Indiana was bringing the ball
down the court, the crowd was on its feet scream
ing. And the Hoosiers got a slam dunk from Flow
ers.
I’d never heard 13,000 people in closed quarters
cheer loudly before. And those 13,000 were .a lot
louder than most Beaver Stadium crowds of 80,000
this year. Just hearing that noise started my adren
alin going, and I could feel myself getting swept up
in the crowd, the cheers just washing down on me
and then bringing me up to join them.
I know I won’t hear noise like that for quite a
while. Unless I got back there to see Indiana play
arch-rival Purdue.

North Carolina
leads cage poll
Preseason favorite North Carolina
continued to dominate The Asso
ciated Press college basketball poll
yesterday as the top eight teams
held their ground and only one team
slipped from the Top 20.
North Carolina, which crushed
South Florida by 36 points in its only
game last week, was tabbed No.l on
42-of-58 first-place ballots. The Tar
Heels, now 4-0, collected 1,137 points
in the voting by a nationwide panel
of sports writers and broadcasters.
Kentucky held the N 0.2 position
and once again was followed by ’
Louisville, Wichita State, Virginia, '
lowa, DePaul and Minnesota. Ar
kansas and San Francisco both
moved up two notches, and rounded
out the Top 10.
Missouri, N 0.13 last week, headed ,
the Second 10. Tulsa, whose only loss
this year was to North Carolina, was ‘
12th and was followed by Indiana, '
Alabama, Southwestern Louisiana,
Alabama-Birmingham, UCLA, Vil
lanova, Georgetown and Oregon
State, which was surprised by Port
land last week.
