sports Lady laxers By CHRIS LINDSLEY Collegian Sports Writer Whenever the women's lacrosse team and Maryland tangle, past records and season statistics mean little in determining the outcome. Both teams are currently ranked in the top three in the country, and the Lady Lions will be trying to hold onto its No. 1 ranking against the visiting Lady Terrapins at 3 this afternoon at Lady Lidn Despite the fact the Lady Lions hold an 8-5 advantage over the visit ing Lady Terrapins, and are unbeat en in the three previous encounters on Lady Lion Field, Maryland has proven to be a thorn in. Penn State's side as the following games indi cate: • In 190, Maryland broke a Lady Lions' 38 game unbeaten streak by registering a 7-6 victory. • In 'Bl Penn State was ranked No. '1 going into the post-season tournament, but again the Lady Terrapins knocked off a favored Lady Lion team and eventually went on to win the national title. • And last season it was Maryland who handed Penn State its only regular season setback by virtue of a 7-5 win at College Park. Again this season Maryland might be a hindrance to the Lady Lions, as its 3-3 tie with defending national champion Temple (who handed Penn State its only loss this season) would indicate. The Lady Terrapins are currently 7-1-1 on the season, and are ranked No. 3 in the country. Their only loss came at the hands of the University of Pennsylvania, 5-4, in their season opener, and since that . time Maryland has been unbeaten in eight straight. Penn State Head Coach Gillian Rattray said Maryland is fielding a well-balanced squad, and added the Lady Terrapins get stronger as the season progresses "Maryland lost its first game of the year, but it has not lost since, and traditionally it gets better as the season goes on," Rattray said. "They have only lost three people from last year's team, and they probably are the most versatile team we will face all season. "They are a very fast team, and arts - effective with both the long and short passing games, which' adds another dimension to their attack," she said. "Also they are capable of playing a strong man to man de fense, but I think they will employ a zone against us similar to the one Temple used (in the second half). We will have to attack it more ets sweep 2 from Pirates, Carlton leads Phils By JOHN NELSON AP Sports Writer NEW YORK Mookie Wilson blooped a run-scoring single that snapped a 5-5 tie in the eighth inning, and the New York Mets completed a double-header sweep from the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 7-5 decision last night. In the nightcap, Pirate reliever Kent Tekulve, 0-1, had two outs before walking Brian Giles and pinch-hitter George Foster consecutively. Wilson then singled to score Giles and when left fielder Brian Harper's throw home was mishandled by catcher Steve Nicosia, Foster scored. The winner was left-handed reliever Car los Diaz, 1-0, and Neil Allen pitched the ninth for his second save. Tom Seaver pitched a three-hitter and Phillies Steve Carlton and catcher Bo Diaz congratulate each other after Cadton's four•hit shutout of the Chicago Cubs, 2.0. meet rival Maryland Penn State's Laurie Gray (center) tries to stick handle between two defenders in a game against Temple earlier this season. The No.l women's lacrosse team will meet No. 3 Maryland at 3 this afternoon on Lady Lion Field. aggressively than we did (against Temple) to win." Defense has been a key to the Lady Terrapins all season, and they are giving'up an average of only 4.8 goals per game. Maryland held a Temple offense which scored. 12 times at Penn,State to three goals, and it has not allowed more than eight goals in any game all year. To be successful offensively against the Lady Terrapins, third home Betsy Williams said Penn State must keep constant pressure on the Maryland defenders, and said it cannot allow them to control the pace of the game "We've got to pass the ball quick ly downfield before they get a chance to set up if we are to beat the tripled home a run in New York's three-run ' second inning, pacing the Mets to a 6-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates iii the first game of the double-header last night night. Dave Kingman ripped a two-run homer, his second, in the seventh inning to help the Mets snap a six-game losing streak. The victory was Seaver's first decision of the year, despite performing well in two previous starts. Seaver has pitched 22 in nings this season and given up only two runs on 11. hits. Against the Pirates, Seaver struck out nine and walked three. On a cold, occasionally drizzly night, the Mets made quick work of Pirates left-hand er Larry McWilliams. With one out in the second, Hodges reached on a fielding error by McWilliams and when McWilliams threw the ball wildly toward first —for his second zone," Williams said. "We also must challenge the zone. We can't be tentative like we were against Temple. We need to take it to them and attack their zone agressively to be successful against them." Offensively, Penn State appears to have the advantage. Maryland, does not have any people with more than 20 goals on the season, whereas the Lady Lions have five people who have scored more than 20 times. But Rattray said this does not mean the. Lady Terripans attack is weak. "They have not been scoring as many goals as we have, but they have played a tough schedule (in the early season)," Rattray said. "They, like us, have a well-bal anced attack, and the fact they had error Hodges took second. Brian Giles doubled home Hodges,,and Seaver tripled on one hop to the wall in left-center, scoring Giles. Seaver scored on a sacrifice fly by Mookie Wilson. The Mets added a run in the third. McWil liams issued consecutive, one-out walks to George Foster and Mark Bradley, and, one out later, Hodges singled home Foster. McWilliams, 1-2, was lifted for a pinch hitter after four innings, yielding four runs, two unearned, on five hits. PHILLIES 2 Cubs 0 PHILADELPHIA (AP) Steve Carlton pitched a four-hitter for his 53rd career shutout, the 13th best of all time, and Joe Morgan socked a two-run homer as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 last night. It was Carlton's 288th career victory, leaving him 12 shy of becoming the 16th pitcher in baseball history to win 300 games. Carlton struck out 10 and walked three in pitching his first complete game of the season and third victory in four starts. It was the 72nd time in Carlton's career that he had struck out 10 or more batters in a game. Chuck Rainey, 0-3, was the loser for the Cubs. Carlton allowed only one hit through the first 6 2-3 innings, a only two-out single in the first by Bill Buckner. Rangers 11 Orioles 2 BALTIMORE (AP) Jim Sundberg and Mike Richardt drove in two runs apiece as the Texas Rangers scored seven of their nine unearned runs in the third inning and defeated the Baltimore Orioles 11-2 last night. Billy Sample had a home run among his three hits and drove in three runs for the Rangers, who had lost four of their last five games. Mickey Rivers contributed four hits and Sundberg three to a 16-hit attack. Mike Smithson, 2-0, allowed three of Balti more's eight hits in the second inning. The loser was Dennis Martinez, 1-3. six different people score in a win over Princeton (14-7) last Tuesday shows they have a diversified at tack, and we are going to have to play well offensively to beat them." The Lady Lion offense is coming off the highest goal performance in Penn State history with 32 against ' Lock Haven on Tuesday. Williams said that type of game could help the team prepare for the Lady Ter rapins. "The Maryland game is always a tough game for us, and it is a big traditional rivalry," Williams said. "But I feel the game against Lock Haven gave us the opportunity to try some new things, some of which may help us in preparing for Maryland." Lions crushed by Army By DAVE ENGLE CollOglan Sports Writer The men's lacrosse team fell prey to a strong Army squad, 17-2, yesterday afternoon at West Poiht. ' The sixth-ranked Cadets proved to be too much for the Lions, holding Penn State scoreless until four minutes had elapsed in the third period. . Army jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead and led by nine at the half. The Cadets then proceeded to outscore Penn. State 8-2 in the second. half. Although the score was lopsided, Army had only four more shots on goal than the Lions (40-36). Bill Schoonmaker scored Penn State's first goal at 4:01 of the third period while attacker Gary Eagles may be bought by Minneapolis banker PHILADELPHIA (AP) Phila delphia Eagles Vice President Su san Fletcher said she has had serious discussions with a Minne apolis banker ,and several other parties about the possible sale of the NFL team.

Pohlad, who contacted the Ea gles several months ago, said he would get back in (ouch with her at an unspecified time, Fletcher said. "The ball is in his court," said Fletcher, an attorney who has taken over the Eagles' financial operations. • King's 40 points leads N.Y. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.

O'Sullivan led Army with three goals apiece. Tom Florence was in the Penn State goal the first half and allow ed nine goals while recording eight saves. Freshman E.G. Rall tended the net in the second half,' giving up eight goals while making seven saves. The Cadet goalies combined for 16 saves while allowing the two second-half goals. The Army loss was Penn State's sixth out of the last seven games and puts the Lions' record at 2-6 on the season.

In Minneapolis, Pohlad's secre tary said yesterday he was not in his office and could not be reached elsewhere, but was expected back "sometime Friday." Tose, who paid $16.1 million for the franchise in 1969, and his daughter said they would consider selling the team for about $lOO million. The current value is esti mated at between $25 million and $3O million, and the team has debts estimated at $l4 million to $l6 million. "My father doesn't want to sell, his business," Fletcher said. ' In January, Tose said his daugh ter would eventually assume con trol of the Eagles, while a non controlling share (up to 47 per cent) would be sold to reduce the team's indebtedness. now 0-5 in post-season competition since coming into the NBA in 1977, ` 1 can even the series tonight when it y resumes at Madison Square Gar den. -• King's brother, Albert, led the Nets with 17 points, while Buck Williams added 16 points and 13 rebounds for New Jersey.

After spending February and March In either the Bahamas or Bermuda, the. NFL scouts . are cramming for next Tuesday's marathon multiple guess test, the NFL draft. Due to intimidation from the USFL, the NFL has decided to cut its draft to a one-day extravaganza lasting for 17 consecutive hours. This year's draft includes some of the best talent the NFL has ever had to choose from. Included in this pool are 16 Penn State players 'with a chance to be selected.. The following is an analysis of each of these players with a ranking for each player at his position as given by the Palmer Hughes Draft Ratings, courtesy of the Football Nevi's. Curt Warner, 2nd halfback —Due to improved blocking and pass receiv ing, Warner could turn out to be one of the greatest running backs of all time. Unless a major trade occurs, the all-time-Penn State 'rushing lead er will be the third pick in the draft by the Los Angeles (Anaheim) Rams, with only Stanford's John Elway and SMU's Eric Dickerson going ahead of him. ; Todd Blackledge, sth quarterback i—Blackledge has the stength of Terry Bradshaw and the leadership poten tial of Roger Staubach.

Ashley should go in the third round. Bill Contz, 7th tackle —Contz could be the biggest surprise of all the Nittany Lions going pro. His pass blocking makes him an attractive pick. He should go in the third round. Pete Speros, Bth guard Speors has been a mark of consistency dur ing his playing days at Penn State. His versatility should also help him. Speros will, go in the fifth round. Mike McCloskey, 16th tight end —lf he can bulk up and improve his block ing, McCloskey could be an excep tional player. Penn State did not utilize his potential properly, and that cut down his production. He could be another Randy Grossman. He should go in the ninth round. . Joel Coles, 15th fullback —Coles was an all-everything back in high school, but due to injuries and tough competition, he never quite devel oped at Penn State. His lack of speed compared with other fullbacks will hold him back from being picked earlier. He should hear from a NFL team in'the 10th round.

Regardless of where he is picked, though, Giacomarro will make an NFL club. He has proven he can punt in all kinds of weather and has great hang time, which the NFL scouts drool over. This four year starter should go somewhere in the eighth or ninth round. Dave Laube, 20th guard —Due to non-football distractions, Laube was not able to prove himself this, past season. Although he ,is not terribly fast, he could get drafted in the last couple of rounds. Gregg Garrity, 70th wide receiver If Garrity can play on the special teams ,effectively, he should be able to hook-up with an NFL team. His tremendous acceleration and his abil ity to make the clutch reception (i.e. the Sugar Bowl) makes him the type of money ballplayer NFL teams need. May not get drafted, but should be a highly sought after free agent. Dave Paffenroth, 66th linebacker. Ken Kelley, 76th linebacker. Al Har ris, 89th linebacker —All three of these players are in the same boat. None of them have tremendous speed and are not likely to be selected Tuesday.
