sports Morgan gives Phillies 2-game lead By RALPH BERNSTEIN AP Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA Veteran Joe Morgan celebrated his 40th birth day with four hits, including two home runs and four RBIs, as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to beat the Chicago Cubs 7-6 last night. The victory gave the Phillies a two-game lead in the National League East over the Pittsburgh Pirates, who were beaten 5-4 in 10 innings by the New York M'ets. The Phillies and Pirates each have 12 games left. The score was tied 6-6 with Chi cago's ace reliever, Lee Smith, 4-10, on the mound, when Morgan led off the eighth with his 16th.home run of the season. Morgan's second homer of the game made a winner of Ron Reed, 8-1, who pitched 1 1-3 innings of hitless relief. Al Holland got the last two outs for his 22nd save. Morgan, who has had 10 home runs and 29 RBIs in 51 games since the All-Star break, also had a single and a double. The Cubs took a 3-0 lead in the first off Phillies starter Marty Bys trom. Thad Bosley opened with a single and moved to second on a walk to Ryne Sandberg. Bystrom retired the next two batters and then issued a walk to Ron Cey to load the bases. Keith Moreland then ripped a dou ble to score Bosley and Sandberg and give the Cubs a 2-0 lead. Jody Davis followed with a single to score Cey with the third run of the inning. The Phillies sliced the Cubs' lead to 3-2 in the fourth on a leadoff double by Ozzie Virgil and Morgan's first home run of the night. Nebraska solidifies hold on No. 1 spot By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer The Nebraska Cornhuskers, who mangled Min nesota 84-13, were a near-unanimous choice yes terday as the nation's top college football team, while Notre Dame, Auburn, Michigan and Flor ida State fell out of the Top Ten. The .lopsided lopsided victory was the Cornhuskers' third in a row during which they have outscored the opposition 184-39. Nebiaska received 57 of 59 first-place votes and 1,178 of a possible 1,180 points from a nationwide panel of sports writers and sportscasters. The two voters who did not rank the Cornbuskers No. 1 had them second. ions' offense gained confidence during loss By LIZ KAHN Collegian Sports Writer Heading into the matchup against No. 13 lowa Saturday at Beaver Stadium, the football team was aim ing for a new start. Despite its two previous losses in as many games, the often unsettled Lion offense claimed it was getting things together, gaining confidence and the lowa game would be a chance to prove it. The game is history now, and after a 42-34 loss to the Hawkeyes, Penn State is still waiting for . its first victory. The Lion defense was ru nover by the Hawkeyes, which regis tered 587 total yards. But Penn State at least offensively is gaining confidence. "We know we're. good," tailback D.J. Dozier said. "We know how good we can be, and that we can get better. We lost, but we showed our selves what we can do. We're going to come back we're not going to give up now." After scoring only nine points total in the first two games, Penn State managed 492 offensive yards toward its 34 points against the Hawkeyes and 254 of those were in the air. Considering the quarterback prob lems the Lions struggled with in the beginning of - the season, starting signal caller Doug Strang's 17 com pletions in 36 attempts Saturday was a welcome change. "People on the team started be lieving in themselves," Strang said. "I started feeling it in the last game, the Cincinnati game. The offense started believing and having the confidence in me and I started hav ing the confidence in what they were doing." But where did this confidence on the Lion offense come from? Of course, experience playing together as a team ,is an obvious answer, and a good one. But after Penn State's first loss, 49-6 to Nebraska, Head Coach Joe Paterno said there really wasn't any leadership anywhere on the Lion 'Chicago boosted it to 5-2 in, the sixth. Mel Hall led off with a single and one out later, Keith Moreland was hit by a pitch. Davis then sin gled to score Hall. Larry Bowa walked to load the bases and a second run scored when Ivan DeJe sus booted pitcher Dickie • Noles' potential double-play grounder for an error. The Phillies rallied within 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth. After reliever Craig Lefferts re tired the first two batters, Ivan DeJesus tripled. Von Hayes batted for reliever Larry Andersen and singled, scoring DeJesus. Morgan then doubled to score Hayes and make it 5-4. - The Cubs boosted their lead to 6-4 in the seventh on a leadoff homer by Bill Buckner, his 15th of the season and first since July 25. Mets 5 Pirates 4 NEW YORK (AP) Hubie Brooks drove in Mookie Wilson with a single in the 10th inning to give the New York Mets a 5-4 victory last night over Pittsburgh, handing the Pirates a serious setback in their chase for the National League East title. The loss, coupled with Philadel phia's 7-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs, dropped the Pirates two games behind the Phillies in the National League East. With one out, Wilson started the Mets' winning rally with a single off Kent Tekulve, 7-5. Wilson then stole second just ahead of a strong throw by catcher Tony Pena. Brooks then followed with a single to short center field, easily scoring •Th'e other two first-place votes went to Texas, which opened its season with a convincing 20-7 triumph over Auburn and moved up from third place to second with 1,112 points. The Longhorns replaced Oklahoma, which dropped from second to eighth after losing to Ohio State 24-14. The Buckeyes' victory vaulted them from sixth to third place with 1,038 points. Arizona, whose seventh-place ranking last week was its highest ever, jumped to fourth with 933 points by trouncing Washington State 45-6, while Notre Dame skidded from fourth to 13th following a 28-23 upset at the hands of Michigan State. North Carolina whipped Miami of Ohio 48- 17 and went from 10th to fifth with 847 points, squad. According to most of the players after Saturday's game, the leadership has been found, and uti lized. Several members of last year's national championship team have assumed the leadership role, and it was evident against the Hawkeyes. Some veterans were cheering on the sidelines, and on the field, keeping the players fired up. One of these veterans is tailback Jon Williams, who was sidelined toward the end of the second quarter with a knee injury. "We're going to keep improving on our confidence," Jon Williams said. "If we see someone getting down we're going to try to talk to them and pick them up. You have to look out there and keep everyone going as if you were out there and they were standing there on the sideline cheering you on. "Seniors are starting to take charge now," he said, "because we realize that we have a really good team, we just haven't been able to open it up yet " Senior Co-Captain Kenny Jackson is another player who is helping the Lions as a leader. The 5-11 1 / 2 , 169- pound flanker played a major role in last year's championship season and remembers what it's like to play for a winning team. This year, however, he must help out a team which hasn't been so fortunate. "I love Penn State," Jackson said. "I mean I'm 0-3 and all those other things and people might think I'm kidding. But I'm happy where I'm at and it's awful important as a team leader to make sure these young guys realize that you're with them, and you're going to stay with them no matter what. "I don't care what the heck hap pens from now on, I know we're going to give a good effort, and that's all you can ask."

Booters already eyeing post-season By MATT MICHAEL Collegian Sports Writer It is still only September, but the men's soccer team is already looking toward the start of the NCAA Tournament at the end of November. The No. 6 Lions (4-1) can im prove their chance for a 13th con secutive tournament berth at 2 p.m. today when they take on perennial power Cleveland State at the Vikings' home field. "The next two games are very important as far as our season is concerned," Lion Head Coach Walter Bahr said. "Both games are away and both teams (Cleve land State and Fairleigh. Dickin son on Saturday) have been prominent in the NCAA tourna ment." Since Fairleigh Dickinson is one of the two teams which usually battles Penn State for a tourna ment berth from this region (Phil adelphia Textile is the other), the Lions must be wary of looking past the Vikings. "You might think about a differ ent game but once the whistle blows you concentrate on the game that you're playing," Lion defender Gerry Moyer said. "We're going to take this season game by game and if we keep up this same caliber of play we should get a tournament bid." Moyer said Cleveland State is similar to Penn State in that it is a powerhouse in its respective re gion. Like the Lions, the Vikings annually find themselves in a three-way battle for two playoff berths. "Over the years Cleveland State, Indiana and Akron have been the three top teams in the Midwest area," Bahr said. "Cleveland State has been in the tournament .1 number of times." Bahr said Viking Head Coach Brian Doyle, who is starting his second year at the helm, brought in six freshmen from England and Bermuda last season and all of them will be in Cleveland State's starting lineup today. "Their style of play is similar to West Virginia Wesleyan (which Penn State defeated 2-1 on Friday night)," Bahr said. "But they put more emphasis on their English players." The Lions edged Cleveland State 2-1 last year at Jeffrey Field. Penn State owns a 3-1-1 lifetime record against the Vikings but Bahr said The Daily Collegian Tuesday Sept. 20, 1983 tournament the Lions were clobbered in that one loss at Cleveland State in 1979. After experimenting with seve ral different starting lineups in exhibition and early season games, it looks as though Bahr has settled on a definite starting 11. Freshman Niall Harrison, who scored the game-winning goal on Friday night, has moved into a starting forward spot along with senior co-captains Jeff Maierhofer and Pete Jobling. Maierhofer, who leads the team with six goals, scored the Lions' first goal against West Virginia Wesleyan and Jo bling assisted on Harrison's goal. A trio of sophomores will start at midfield against Cleveland State. They are Kevin Jennings, George Megaloudis and Larry Miller, who is second on the team with four goals. It is unusual that the same four defenders have started every game because they are an inex perienced group. They include sophomore stopper Moyer, sopho more sweeper Geordie Kline, and freshmen wing fullbacks Simon Eccles and Greg Meares. "In the Navy game (a 3-2 Penn State loss) there was some doubt among the four of us," Moyer said. "We still need some improvement but I think we have proven we can play." Bahr said at the beginning of every season he tells his squad to try to win as many games as it can and then it will see how far it can advance in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament. "If we can come home with two wins this week we'll be in good shape for the tournament," he said. "Even a split wouldn't be had because if we finish 17-3 we should still get a tournament bid." Bahr said if his squad ends up with a 15-5 or 14-6 record it proba bly won't see post-season action, although he would still consider this season a good one. But for a man who has taken the Lions to the tournament in each of his nine previous seasons as head coach, you know physically he is in September, but mentally he is thinking November. LION NOTES Bahr said fresh man forward Jay Ruby is the only Lion physically unable to make the trip to Cleveland State. Ruby turned an ankle on Friday night but he should be ready for Satur day's game with Fairleigh Dickin son. Lady spikers to face No. 13 BYU By RICK STOUCH Collegian Sports Writer The women's volleyball team will again dis play a new personnel .twist in a match against No. 13 Brigham Young tonight in Provo, Utah. In addition to continuing to replace the injured Patty Skadeland by platooning Chris Lennon and Lisa Chidester, depending on the need for more offense or defense, respectively, Head Volleyball Coach Russ Rose has switched Lori Barberich and Marcia Leap into middle blocking positions. "They seem to be more comfortable with that," Rose said. "But it does put more pressure on (Lori and Marcia). Now they're separated, so each will get the ball more." Setter Leslie Peters said this rotation is a lot like last year's lineup. "After Patty, got injured, we just put Chris in the lineup for her against Rutgers and it worked," Peters said. "But this past weekend the rotation just wasn't as effective as we would like it to be whether Chris or Lisa was in." Assistant Coach Ellen Crandall said the Lady Lions would also try some new plays this week and those new plays would be important, espe cially against a western squad. "We must remember that we have more in our portfolio than hitting," Crandall said, " that we have four or five different attacks." Tonight's match with BYU is just the first in a week of competition, with the Lady Lions sched Golfers make comeback to finish Bth at Yale Invite By 'JOSEPH BARRETT Collegian Sports Writer In an effort to propel her team into the NCAA tournament next spring, Head Golf Coach Mary Kennedy has the men's golf team preparing for its tournaments a little differently this fall. While the new practice sessions haven't made' things quite perfect yet, they showed signs of paying off for the Lions at the 54-hole Yale Invitational this past weekend. After a case of first tournamen titis during the Friday round in which Penn State carded a near fatal 319 —the Lions turned in team scores of 308 and 307 on Saturday and Sunday for a 934 total and an eighth place finish in the 32-team Yale field. LSU, which shot 901, matched cards with Kent State to take team honors and dethrone defending champion William & Mary. "We beat a lot of good schools, and Bth place out of 32 teams is pretty good as far as I'm con cerned," Kennedy said. Penn.

"In the East, the volleyball is more powerful and you can use the block better," Crandall said. " West Coast teams will be smarter in placing the ball and we'll see a lot more junk shots like off-speed hits. We have to be very quick on defense and read things carefully." Crandall also said that patience, desire and communication among the players will be vital factors. • ' "We lost our patience and our communication broke down when we started to lose this past weekend, and that's probably why we lost," Crandall said."We started to lose trust. - "And we must be pumped up for everyone with as high an intensity as we were with Pitt.

Some players are already giving partial credit for the progress to the revamped practice routines. Rather than just touring the course during practice, Penn State has been concentrating on shots that are useful on the courses which it will play. The Yale Golf Course had many large sand traps. So in preparation for the Yale Inviational, the Lions worked on their sand shots. "Two days before we left for Yale, (Assistant Coach) Dick Guardiola and I spent two hours in the sand trap," said sophomore Dave Treese, whose final round 73 was second best in the field that day. Senior Scott Gerhart, a transfer from Indiana University of Penn sylvania, who, because of injuries, had not played in a collegiate tournament in three years prior to the Yale Invitational, tied for sec ond overall and led the Lions with a 220 (76-69-73). "There are certain types of shots on every golf course," Ger hart said, "and practicing them a week before a tournament is going to giv,e you more confidence when you get there."

He thought for a moment and replied that he didn't think so. He could make more money, he told the interviewer, by remaining an amateur and receiv ing under-the-table offerings. Indeed, amateur. Alberto Salazar, owner of the world record in the marathon, could easily make more than $250,000 this year from endorse ments and covert appearence fees.

On an even larger scale, Miller Brewing and the U.S. Olympic Com mittee have reached a $3.3 million agreement to help fund the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. All of, this is a far cry from 1912 when Jim Thorpe was forced to re turn the two gold medals he won at the Stockholm Olympics held that year. Thorpe was accused of being a professional because for two seasons he , was a $6O-a-month semipro base ball player. A little quick math will tell you that it takes Salazar less than a dozen hours to equal Thorpe's two year baseball income.

Rose said. "I don't think there was a match yet where everyone has played well, but we are making progress. They might still be feeling each other out."

Harris running like old self By ALAN ROBINSON AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers are developing their most balanced offense in seasons because Franco Harris is running like he did a decade ago and the passing attack is gaining confidence in quarterback Cliff Stoudt, said Coach Chuck Noll yesterday Noll, reviewing the Steelers' 40-28 blowout of the Houston Oilers, said the 33-year-old Harris is a perfect example of why certain players should not be stereotyped just be cause they have reached an age when other athletes have retired. Harris has gained 260 yards in three games and needs 34 yards Sun day against New England to surpass O.J. Simpson as the second leading rusher in pro football history. Off to the best start of his 12-year pro career, Harris has 11,203 career yards and is about 1,100 yards behind all-time leader Jim Brown, who has 12,312 yards. "I think there is a tendancy in football to overestimate and underes timate age," Noll said. "I don't think that (age) always stops people. Fran co has been relatively injury free.", Harris has gained over 100 yards in his last two starts and in four of his school," he said. "Can I hold out? I know I can hold out swimming wise, but I don't know about the rest. "Money is tough. It's tough to get a job and train and go to school at the same time. I need some kind of help but people haven't been busting down my door." Or consider the plight of Doug Brothers, a 29-year-old archer from Sharonville, Ohio. Brothers was laid off from his job with an auto company for eight months in 1980 after travel ing to the world championships. In order to support himself and his fami ly upon his return, he sold life insure ance, drew unemployment benefits, worked on his parent's farm and baby-sat while his wife worked as a medical transcriber. Brothers decided not to shoot this year, he said, because he did not want to go to the world championships and risk losing a job he has just started. Clearly, the era of wealthy sports men who happily allied themselves with amateur sport of the 1920 s and 1930 s is long over, yet the idea of purity in sport, where politics and finances are echewed for higher vir tues, lingers. It seems that there is a belief that the evil said to be intrinsic to money will somehow appear in an athlete's performance. Fortunately, it appears to be a belief that is quickly fading. Many governments now assume the responsibility of supporting their athletically proficient countrymen. COLLEGIATE ARMS 218 S. Sparks Street 9 & 12 MONTH LEASES II 2 Bedroom Apts.

"These accomplishments have tak en period over a period of time," said Noll, a former teammate of Brown's with the Cleveland Browns.. "Our primary purpose has always been to try and be the best we can be. These kind of things happen if you do these things." Noll said the 2-1 record Steelers had a dual game plan against the Oilers. They wanted to establish the run the ball during the first half, then open up with a passing attack in the second half. The Steelers led 12-7 at halftime thanks to four Gary Anderson field goals, then blew out to a 33-7 lead in the second half, when they scored 28 points. "Cliff did an excellent job of hand ling the 'running game," Noll said. "He's giving . us pretty good lead ership. When he threw an intercept tion, he took off and went after the guy with the ball. He threw a block on a reverse last week. He's running the ball well. He's a `do as I do' kind of leader." Stoudt completed 16 of 27 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown and ran seven times for 40 yards. He has completed 59 percent. of his passes, throwing for 604 yards. Even the most cursory glance, partic ularly in the direction of Eastern Europe where official support for athletes has been going on for de cades, would show countless athletes training under the watchful eyes of a government organization. There are those quick to point to the paradox of a government, a supposed enforcer of law, handing paychecks to amateur athletes. But often, it is only through the efforts of govern ments and corporations that the truly finest athletes are able to compete, at the level now demanded_ by their opponents and the harsh critics in the stands, without the burden of wonder ing where their next meal is coming from. Shamateurism is a word recently coined to describe the accepting of funds by amateur athletes. While many would argue that an income like Salazar's or Coe's is excessive fora man (or for that matter, three or four men) to receive for racing around a track, so too is Lundquist's or Brother's condition unjust. America places many demands on its athletes; they must be humble, colorful, witty and, most importantly, winners. There is no need in this case to coin a word, what we need is a redefinition of its predecessor. Todd Benoit is a senior English major and a sports columnist for The Daily Collegian.
