sports Softball team splits games with Eagles By GWEN FITZGERALD and TINA REIGHARD Collegian Sports Writers The softball team rolled to its fifth consecutive win in the first game of a double-header at Lock Haven (8-4) yesterday, but had its winning streak broken in the sec ond game. Betty Jo Maule pitched her sec ond complete game of the year in leading the Lady Lions to an 8-2 victory in the first game. Rhonda Burg completed her third full game in the second half of the twinbill which the Lady Lions dropped 5-3. Maule (3-2) gave up only six hits, one walk, and struck out one batter in the winning effort. Burg (2-3) allowed seven hits, two walks and struck out two batters. In what is beginning to be 'a trend for the Lady Lions (16-8), they once again played in less than ideal weather conditions. A muddy outfield was combined with a cold, windy, snowy day to test the team. But the cold weather didn't cool off Penn State's bats at least in the first game. Right fielder Cheryl Kent ( .321) had a triple which drove in two runs. Carol Fultz, who was batting .386 before yesterday's game, was two for four and had two stolen bases. Captan Mary Ann Cremo said the Lady Lions were batting ex tremely well in the first game. "We were really slamming the ball," Cremo said. "Everybody was hitting right away. We really jumped on the ball." But as the weather got colder in the second game, so did the Lady Lions' bats.

Marathon's future up in the air By BERT ROSENTHAL AP Sports Writer BOSTON The.B7th Boston Mar athon was historic, but what does history have in store for the future of the 26-mile, 385-yard race? A great cloud has been thrown over the traditional Patriots Day event because of the marathon boom in recent years. "I want with all my heart to see it the Boston race continue," 71- year-old Will Cloney, the director of the race from 1946 until his retire ment last June, said after Monday's race. "But I want people to understand that in 1983, 1984 and 1985, mar athoning is a different sport from 15 years ago. The marathon now is the glamour event of the Summer Olympics." If that is true, perhaps• that ex plains the proliferation of mar athons throughout the, world in recent years. And to attract the best runners, many of the new mar athons are offering exorbitant prize money a $1 million marathon at Las Vegas, Nev., reportedly is in the planning stages, and a lucrative marathon is planned for Sydney, Australia in June. yesterday's game. Catcher Lori Frey, batting for herself for only the second time this year, was two for three with two singles and two RBIs. Frey had been using a designated hitter until now because of a shoulder injury . Frey said she was pleased with her performance at the plate yes terday. "I think I needed to get hits today to get my confidence up since I haven't been batting," Frey said. The second game was closer than the score indicated, with Penn State taking a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth inning. With two outs and Lock Haven runners on first and second, the runner was called safe at first on a controversial call loading the bases. The next batter sent a shot into center field driving in three runs, which gave the Lady Bald Eagles a 4-2 lead. Lock Haven went on to a 5-3 win by adding a run in the sixth. The Lady Lions (16-8) will get the opportunity to get back on the winning track today when it takes on LaSalle at 1 today in a double header at Lady Lion Field. LaSalle has moved up to Divi sion I status this year after its second place finish as a Division II competitor in Eastern Regionals last year. Penn State split against the Lady Explorers last season taking. the first game 5-2 and losing to LaSalle 6-2 in the second game Assistant Coach Kim Seevers said last year LaSalle had a good hitting team which was led by All- American shortstop Julie Reide- nauer "They hit a lot of home runs last year and they hate one girl (Rei denauer) that is an incredible hit ter," Seevers said. 4 • , , % A.a„4r, Boston, however, has remained traditional. It has stuck with its traditional Monday Patriots Day date. By so doing, rather than switching to Sun day, it has discouraged network television stations from bidding for its national TV rights. And it has refused to pay prize money, even under liberal guidelines set up by the Internation al Amateur Athletic Federation, the world governing body for track and field. In stead, the Boston Marathon organizers have tried to retain the race's amateurism, traditional since it began in 1897. Without television and the ac companying sponsor revenue —plus the refusal to offer prize money to the leading finishers, some observ ers think the event might deterio rate into a "good local race" rather than remain the world-class mar athon it has been for many years. It was far from a "good local race" Monday, even though the men's and women's winners each live in Massachusetts. Greg Meyer, a native of Grand Rapids, Mich.,, now living in Wellesley, won the race in 2 hours, 29 minutes, the 10th-fastest clocking in history. Lady laxers record 32-4 win Penn State breaks 7 scoring marks in rout over LHSC By CHRIS LINDSLEY Collegian Sports Writer For the women's lacrosse team, yesterday's 32- 4 victory over visiting Lock Haven was one for the record books. The Lady Lions broke three team and four personal scoring marks as they overwhelmed an inferior Lady Bald Eagle squad. Lock Haven's offense could muster only 13 shots on goal com pared to 58 for No. 1-ranked Penn State, which improved its record to 7-1 on the year. Marsha Florio ( 8), Betsy Williams (7), Laurie Gray (7), and Beth Thompson (5) all came through with career scoring efforts, and along with Laurie Hoke (5), they combined to break the old single game goal record of 31 by scoring for the 32nd time with 1:19 left in the contest. The team also set a new assist mark with 19, as Florio and Gray contributed five assists each, and Thompson and Williams added four and three, respectively. One other record was broken, as team points in a single game was upped from 44 to 51. From the opening draw the game's outcome was never in doubt. The Lady Lions rolled to a 17- 2 halftime advantage on the strength of five goals by Gray. The second half was almost an image of the first, as Penn State put home 15 of the 17 goals scored in the final 25 minutes of action. Offensively, the Lady Lions could do no wrong all afternoon. Head Coach Gillian Rattray said her squad moved the ball around well to find the open person. "We got off to a slow start offensively (first Penn State goal at 7:26), but then we began to show a good passing attack that was helped by our aggressive cutting (towards the goal)," Rat tray said. "Our movement on offense makes it much easier to score, and a performance like this helps to build up confidence within the offensive unit." To score so often against anyone is a real tribute to any offense, but the Lady Lions also had to combat a very cold wind which was mixed with snow off and on throughout the afternoon. But despite the rough playing conditions, third home Laurie Williams said the weather is some thing the team cannot worry about, and must concentrate on other things.

Next year, with the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials scheduled for May, the Boston entry field will suffer in quality, as it does every four years. That will make 1985 a very impor tant year for the race. Will it be able to attract the world's top runners again by contin uing its traditional policies? Or will it be forced to restructure its think ing? Those decisions will have to be made by the new Board of Gover nors of the Boston Athletic Associa tion, the organizer of the race. The three-man board took over 10 months ago, after Cloney's retire ment. "Our commitment was to help run the 'B3 race," said Tim Kilduff, a member of the board. "We haven't thought beyond that yet." "First, we're all going to relax for a little while, then we'll look at 1984 objectively," • continued Kilduff. "Maybe some of us won't contin ue." Kilduff said that the BAA would holds its annual meeting 'in about a Month, "at which point we'll re-, Penn State's Laurie Hoke (11) tries to get away from an attacking Lock Haven player in a game yesterday on Lady Lion Field. The women's lacrosse team crushed the Lady Bald Eagles 324. "The cold was a factor, and I think today was the coldest it has been (in my three years here)," Williams said. "But both teams must play under the same conditions, and in a situation like today we've just got to put it out of our minds and do the best we can (under the conditions). "Today I felt we worked well together on offense, and this has been the key to our attack all season. It allows us to spread out the scoring among several people, and it keeps us all in volved (in the success of the attack). " On this day not even the conditions could slow the Lady Lions, but R.attray said she was not expecting, such an easy victory. In spite of the uneven contest, however, she said playing Lack Haven was a positive experience. "I thought they would be tougher, mainly because we played them indoors prior to the Laxers take on Army By DAVE ENGLE Collegian Sports Writer The men's lacrosse team's season resembles a bro ken record. The Lions have played team after national ly-ranked team and each time they've come up short. First there was University Maryland at Baltimore County (11-10), then Towson State (16-12), and finally last Saturday, Rutgers (10-6). In all three of these games, Penn State has played well and has done everything but win. Against the Scarlet Knights, the Lions were down by two goals late in the game and were forced to play a double-teaming, aggressive defense. This allowed Rutgers to throw in two easy goals in the last 30 seconds to set the final. Bill Schoonmaker, a sophomore midfielder from Greenwich, Conn., compared the Rutgers' loss to those at UMBC and Towson. "They've all been basically close games," he said, "but we can't seem to capitalize on the other teams' mistakes." Penn State Head Coach Glenn Thiel is perplexed by the whole situation. "Something is keeping us from winning, but I don't know what," he said. elect or elect a new board of gover nors." The board relied on such advice this time, and Kilduff said, "It was a thrill to see things come togeth er." The board solicited advice from four-time Boston Marathon 'winner Bill Rodgers and other local run ners at a meeting last December, and from the top 100 men and 50 leading women from last year's race in a mailed questionnaire. In addition to trying to put togeth er the race, the board and the BAA will have to be concerned about a court case involving the event. That was the result of a contract Cloney signed in September 1981 with attorney Marshall Medoff of International Marathons, Inc., making Medoff the exclusive agent to acquire sponsors for the race. Under the contract, Medoff was to keep all sponsor money over $400,000. He raised $712,425. However, the BAA contested the contract and Medoff's money ar rangenient. The BAA claimed it was a charitable organization, arid that laws forbid a. sponsor agent from collecting more than 15 per cent of the monies received from such a group. Thiel, like Schoonmaker, mentioned tie failure to cash in opportunities and also inexperiencas possible answers. "We still might surprise somebody," he\said opti mistically. t\ The Lions hope that somebody is Army \ as they travel to West Point for a game at 4 this afternoon. Penn State (2-5) will have its hands full wit the 6th ranked Cadets, who are 5-2 and have only losto arch rival Navy (11-10) and No. 2 Johns Hopkins (4-6). Over the years, Army has had phenomenal success against the Lions with Penn State only winning once in 25 meetings. A key to the success has been Army's traditional aggressive and intimidating style of play. "They like to intimidate you and take all of your confidence away," said Thiel. "We must play with poise and overcome this intimidation. Thiel also noted that defensemen John Coyle and Mike McCormick will have to .have good games as Army is led by two strong attackers. "We'll have to play our kind of game," Schoonmaker said about today's match. "We must control them defensively and settle the game down." He added, "We're also going to have to control the face-offs." Three runners break from the starting line of the 67th Boston Marathon at Hopkins, Mass.
