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

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).

points in the first half to boost the
New York Knicks to a 118-107
victory over the New Jersey Nets

TORONTO (AP) Dave Stieb pitched his
way out of a no-out, bases-lbaded jam in the
first inning and went on to record his second
complete-game victory of the season as the
Toronto Blue Jays defeated Cleveland 4-1
last night, handing the Indians their fourth
consecutive loss.

Paul Cino and P.J. O'Sullivan
led Army with three goals apiece.
Tom Florence was in the Penn
State goal the first half and allow

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.
Five out of six of those losses
have come against teams that
were nationally-ranked when they
faced Penn State.
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.

FL scouts start examination of Lions for draft
It's finals week for the NFL scouts.
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.

Bradshaw and the leadership poten
tial of Roger Staubach. Be has proven

an area which he has very little
experience in. Ashley should go in the
third round.
Bill Contz, 7th tackle —Contz could be
the biggest surprise of all the Nittany

makes him an attractive pick. He
should go in the third round.
Pete Speros, Bth guard Speors

ing his playing days at Penn State.
His versatility should also help him.
Speros will, go in the fifth round.

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.

teams have been reluctant to take a
kicker early. 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. Paffenroth and Kelley
should have•have a lot of offers as
free agents, and if anyo7 can re
member Harris' play in th first part

training camp next July.
