Softball team splits
games with Eagles

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. Penn State was held to
only four hits by Lady Bald Eagle
• pitcher Ginny Weiss.
• However, one of those hits was a
home run by Captain Michelle
Turk who was hitting .381 before

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.

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.

And Joan Benoit, who was born in
Portland, Maine, and now lives in
Watertown, ran the fastest woman's
marathon in history 2:22;42.
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

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

the Lady Lions, but R.attray said she was not

uneven contest, however, she said playing Lack

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

"This is the last game it, a long (15 year) series
