Final 4 field bracing
for NCAA semifinals
By JOHN NELSON
AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) Dean
Smith has taken North Carolina to the
Final Four of the NCAA basketball
tournament seven times. Denny Crum
of Louisville is heading into his fourth
Final Four. Houston's Guy Lewis is
working on No. 3, and John Thompson
of Georgetown is the rookie.
"It's a new experience," says
Thompson. "I just hope that I can
control my excitement to the extent
that I can be rational enough to
coach."
Showing the impatience of newcom
ers, the sixth-ranked Hoyas were the
first to arrive for the Final Four.
However, as he has done in the past,
Thompson chose to keep his players
out of harm's way. They arrived at
their hotel Wednesday in Biloxi,
Miss., about 60 miles down the 'pike
from New Orleans.
The Final Four begins Saturday at
2:39 p.m. CST before a sellout crowd
of 61,000 at the Louisiana Superdome.
Georgetown and 20th-ranked Louis
ville start the show. They will be
followed by No. 1-ranked North Caro
lina and Houston. The final' will be
held Monday night.
The Hoyas, 29-6, come into the Final
Four on a tear. They won their first
three games of the tournament by an
average margin of 16.6 points, includ
ing a 24-point victory over fourth
ranked Oregon State in the final of the
West Regional at Provo, Utah.
"I feel like we must sustain the play
we have had," Thompson said. "We
were really pleased with the way we
played in the regionals, and, as in any
tournament, I hope we can sustain a
certain level of consistency so that our
team is able to survive.
"Basically, that's what it takes," he
said.
While trailing Smith in number of
appearances, Crum is the only coach
among the four that has won the title.
The Cardinals, led by Darrell Griffith,
won the 1980 national 'championship,

And tell that to your dog, too
and Crum has seven players, includ
ing four starters, back from that
squad. Crum guided Louisville to a
third-place finish in the 1975 Final
Four, and the Cardinals were fourth
in 1972.
Louisville, 23-9, matches George
town in the depth of its bench and
speed. Each team also uses a full
court pressure defense, but the ob
vious difference is in the middle.
Patrick Ewing, a 7-0 freshman, pa
trols the middle for Georgetown and,
although he has yet to fulfill his offen
sive potential, he has become a strong
factor on defense, leading the nation
in blocked shots with 116.
Another major concern for Louis
ville is its physical condition. Reserve
forward Pancho Wright has a stubbed
toe, and freshman guard Milt Wagner
i suffering from a virus. Starting
forward Derek Smith has six stitches
in his upper lip and a sore jaw, suf
fered in the regionals.
"And they say this is a non-contact
sport," Smith said. "I believe it's
more a collision sport."
North Carolina, 30-2, will be a big
favorite over the Cougars, 25-7, al
though Houston is the only team that
has played in. the Superdome this
season. Houston beat Louisiana State
73-69 for the title of the Sugar Bowl
tournament, which was held the week
after Christmas.
Roy Danforth, former Tulane coach
and now an associate athletic direc
tor, has seem teams flounder in their
first trip to the Superdome.
"Initially, there is a problem of
depth perception," Danforth said. "A
player, going into the dome for the
first time, after playing in the normal
basketball arenas, tends to overshoot.
He finds his shots hitting the back of
the rim."
Smith, who has yet to win the tour
nament in six appearances, may have
assembled the best starting five of his
20 years at North Carolina.
Finn-less Lady Lions open season
By MARIA MARTINO
Collegian Sports Writer
Along with the normal round of opening-day anxieties,
the first women's lacrosse game of the season will serve
up its own helping of problems and promises.
Problem One: When the Lady Lions travel to play
James Madison at 2 tomorrow, they will be without
seven 0112 players who started last year.
Make that eight Problem Two as senior All-
American Candy Finn will also be sidelined for the
season opener with an injured knee.
Firm said she sprained a ligament six weeks ago on
the Astroturf at the Indoor Sport Complex when she
"was in the air and came down on (her leg) the wrong
way." She is waiting for a restrictive brace to arrive
before working her way back into the lineup.
"I have to be patient;" she said. "I've been running,
but I've been helping out the attack mostly. I'll be
starting some drills, then a scrimmage. I'll take it in
steps."
The Lady Lions, who have won three national titles in
the past four years, intend to take this season step by
step. With only two seniors and six returning varsity
players, the squad is relatively young.
"I'm reluctant to say we'll win the national
championship," Finn said, "but we have a team that
could be in contention."
The team promises to be almost as strong off the
bench as on the field. Now with the new Association for
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women rule' that allows
unlimited substitution, the Lady Lions will be able to
take full advantage of their depth.
"We're optimistic," Penn State coach Gillian Rattray
said. "We hope the pressure will be off of us. We have
the skill. We have the potential but not the experience.
The tough thing is molding it into a team."
Rattray has Betsy Williams slated to start at first
home, Marcia Flore at second home, Laurie Gray at
third home, Lindsay Sheehan at center and Laurie Hoke
at left attack wing, with senior Janet" Dolan and sopho
more Chris Moon fighting it out at point.
"It doesn't matter who's starting, because whoever's
backing up is just as strong," cover point Pattie Sue
Ewan said. "We have a lot of depth. We look very
strong.
"Our game is still one of quick, short passes and
finesse, not running with the ball. The girls we have,
though they're young, I don't think we'll be lacking in
experience. They'll pick up the slack. We have a lot of
faith in them."
Rattray said Ewan was in-and-out twice with a
hyperextended knee, but Ewan said she will play
tomorrow. Ewan and junior right defensive wing Jane
Koffenberger are the only two returning defenders.
They'll be joined at left defensive wing by freshman
Barb Jordan one of the Lady Lions' brightest prom
ises for spring.
"She's doing a real good job," Ewan said. "She's a
—' l v good little player."

The women's lacrosse team will be without the services of senior All-American Candy Finn (right) when it opens its
season at James Madison at 2 tommorrow afternoon.
But as young as Penn State's team is, James Madison
should field an equally young squad that has should be
much stronger than the Duchesses that Penn State beat

Lions start 'Shorty' season
By LEE DeORIO
•
Collegian Sports Writer
A new era in Penn State baseball begins tomorrow when the
Lions travel to Annapolis, Md., to face Navy in a double-header.
For 19 years, Chuck Medlar was the Lions' coach on opening
day, and over the course of those 19 seasons, Medlar guided his
clubs to 312 victories the second-highest total in school
history.
Medlar, who served as an assistant for 14 years prior to be
being named coach, announced his retirement last May. The
Lions' new skipper, Clarence "Shorty" Stoner, was barely
three years old when Medlar began his Penn State coaching
career.
It would seem that succeeding a coach with Medlar's record
would cause Stoner a few sleepless nights;but Stoner thinks the
pressure to win comes from another source.
"I feel the pressure from Chuck a little. I think he only had
one losing season," Stoner said. "The real pressure comes from
the other sports they're so successful. Just look around you,
nobody loses."
Stoner didn't have to worry about the other sports at Behrend
College, where he managed the last 12 seasons. His teams
racked up 147 wins during that time and appeared in the NAIA
playoffs the last four years. ,
Stoner has had no trouble adapting to Division I coaching, but
he has noticed the differences.
"The big change is facilities," Stoner said. "The indoor
complex is a tremondous asset. Now, if it's wet or muddy
outside, we can still work out. We are able to use machine
baseballs on the Astroturf."
The only problem Stoner has encountered so far is one that
every manager can live with too much talent. The Lions can
have only 19 players on the traveling squad, so players like
Gary Binduga and John Aimino have to stay home.
"The competition is good," Stoner said. "There are some
people who are really pushing the others. It was a toss-up on
who we decided on. We know if someone gets hurt, we have the

The Lions' leader on the field this year is, without a doubt,
captain Bob D'Ambrosio. The senior from Wethersfeld, Conn.,
hit a lofty .330 last year, led the team in at-bats and doubles,
and was second in RBIs.
"Bob commands a lot of respect. He's a very heady ballplay
er," Stoner said. "He's one of the better second baseman I've
seen in a long time."
The only other .300 hitter returning from last year's team is
first baseman Randy Simcox. Despite returning only two .300
hitters, Stoner expects the Lions to be a good offensive club.
"We're hitting the ball pretty well," he said. "We emphasize
being aggressive and making contact. Our third, fourth and
fifth hitters have the potential to get some extra base hits.
"It's hard to hit home runs at Beaver Field. I define power as
a man who hits the ball in the gaps and down the lines."
Simcox is slated to hit fifth, with third baseman Todd
Hostetler hitting third and newcomer Mike Puharic in the
clean-up slot.
The Lions are hoping Puharic, a transfer from Allegheny
Community College, can take up some of the slack left by the
graduation of left fielder Dale Reynolds. Reynolds led the club
with a .436 average, three homers and 23 Rig's.
Hostetler will be hitting third, despite hitting a paltry .221 last
season.
"Those stats can be deceiving," Stoner said. "Todd was just
a freshman, and not many freshman can jump right out of high
school and be successful. Todd is just starting to come into his
own."
Stoner pointed out that despite having a young team, the
Lions are not inexperienced. Hostetler and shortstop Joe
Phillips both played more than 20 games in their freshman
seasons last year.
Of course, all of this means very little if the Lions' pitching
staff fails to perform. And right now, it is surrounded by
nothing but question marks.
Slated to start against Navy are righthanders Dave Spamer
and Tom Bart.
