BENOIT Collegian Sports Writer Far from the maddening crowd of Beaver Stadium, the chanting throngs of Rec Hall, the boisterous fans of Jeffrey Field, thousands of Penn State athletes compete in vir tual obscurity on the well-tended acres of intramural fields that dot the campus. Women's soccer player Lynette Laberge (16) clears the, ball away from a Slippery Rock defender in action earlier this season.. The women's soccer club is one of the many club sports at Penn State. Although not a varsity sport, icers still complacent By RICH BRADLEY Collegian Sports Writer Imagine a hockey team without a rink. Imagine a Penn State team playing its "home" games in places such as Harris burg and Johnstown. These are just some of the problems the ice hockey team has faced. the University with in its quest to achieve varsity status. In 1978, the University converted the old ice hockey rink into the present Indoor Sports Complex. The University then built an outdoor hockey arena so that the team could practice for the 1978-79 season, but the team had to play its "home" games anytime it could get ice time 1980 saw the opening of the Ice Pavilion, and now the team could play its lime games in Univei•sity Park. But after being promised a 4,000 seat arena, the team was presented with a 1,200 seat stadium. After the opening of the Pavilion, the ice hockey organization made an appeal to the University to be added to the list of 29 other varsity sports Penn State sponsored. It was the first of many rejections. "We were victims of bad timing in our first attempts to go varsity, " recalls Joe Battista, who was president of the ice hock ey organzation in 1981-82. "We started meet ing with officals and found out that hockey is a very, very expensive program and .they were not looking for another white elephant to subsidize. "We still didn't give up, though," Battista continued. "We would go quasi-varsity as an independent Division I team. That has most of the benefits of varsity but we couldn't recruit in terms of scholarship. They said they would consider it." In the summer of - 1982, the ice hockey team was placed under the jurisdiction of the College of Health, Physical Education Morrow leads Islanders over Flyers UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) Ken Morrow, a tower of strength on the New York defense last night, blasted home a 30-foot slapshot in the third period to clinch the Islanders' sixth straight NHL victory, 4-1 over the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers managed 91 shots at goaltender Roland Melanson, but were frustrated by -Melanson's acrobat ics and Morrow's overall efficiency. On several rushes toward the New York goal, the Flyers had . shots blocked by Morrow or saw him strip them of the puck and start the Islanders on attack. Morrow. contributed to that attack with his second goal of the season at 4:49 of the final period to make it 3- 1. The former Olympian slapped a shot past the glove of Flyers goalie Pelle Lindbergh. The' Islanders jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals •by Stefan Persson and Clark Gillies. Persson converted on a slapshot from the point after Bryan Trottier beat Rick MacLeish on a faceoff in the Philadelphia zone. Gillies put a short backhander between Lindbergh's pads on a power play. Philadelphia rookie Ron Sutter was the_only Flyer to beat Melanson. One of four Sutter brothers in the game, Ron scored from behind the net with a wraparound shot. But Brent Sutter got that goal back for the Islanders, knocking in a rebound for his 12th goal of the season. Islanders defenseman Denis Potvin, who had col lected an assist in all 13 of his games this season, did not score a point Tuesday night. The athletic efforts of students who compete on sports clubs, with few exceptions, go unnoticed. Club sports, it seems, are seen largely as the outlets of average athletes with Walter Mittyish dreams. Vance McCullough, Associate Di- rector of Recreatinal Sports in Charge of Club Sports, views club sports as a way. for athletes who have a love for sports to compete at and Recreation as a club team. This was still not varsity status, but it was a start. "Now i:ve were a University sport," Bat tista said. "That gave us credibility in the fact that now we could schedule some oppo nents who wouldn't play us when we weren't• associated with the University. Secondly, it kept our hopes alive that some day we would be a varsity sport." However, according to Assistant Athletic Director Rich Lucas, adding a varsity team, especially one as expensive as hockey, is not feasible. "We think the sports we have now are important when it comes to tradition; histo ry and sponsorship from a high school and NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Asso ciation) standpoint," Lucas said. "The trend has been for schools to adjuit or drop sports, more so than to sustain or improve them, or in this case, add a sport. "It (hockey) is not a top priority program because there are very few high schools in the tri-state area that have hockey. Nor is it a top priority to the NCAA because of the few people that have it." The attitude among team members now is that varsity status would be nice, but it is realistically improbable. "It would be a benefit to get varsity status," says Head Coach Jon Shellington. "If we were to become a varsity sport, we would have to get some additional funding. I don't think we would need the scholarship money. Sometimes scholarships, unless they're for everybody, are more trouble than they are worth." "The guys on the team look at it like we do get a lot," said team captain Art McQuillan. "We do get a sizable'budget from the school right now. We get more than some Division 111 schools get that are varsity." "We're not pushing for it (varsity status) anymore," said Susan Sullivan, president of the - ice hockey organization. "It would help Penguins 4 Flames 4 PITTSBURGH (AP) Lanny McDonald scored his ninth goal of the season with 26 seconds remaining in regulation time to give the Calgary Flames a 4-4 tie with the Pittsburgh Penguins in NHL action yesterday. With the goalie pulled for an extra attacker, McDon ald took a pass at the right point from Jim Peplinski and rifled a slapshot past Michel Dion to extend the Flames' unbeaten streak to six games. Jim Hamilton and Ron Flockhart scored second period goals to give the Penguins a 4-2 lead. Hakan Loth scored his sixth of the year for Calgary at 8:37 of the final period to make it 4-3. Andy Brickley scored twice.in the first period for the Penguins, who stopped a club record home losing streak at seven games. With the scored tied at 2-2, Hamilton scored his second of the season at 8:20 of the second period, taking a pass from Rick Kehoe and flipping a backhander past Don Edwards. Flockhart scored at 18:11, picking off a Calgary pass and beating Edwards for an unassisted goal, his fourth of the year Brickley opened the scoring with a goal at 2:34 of the first period. Mike Eaves and Paul Baxter scored for Calgary in a span of less than three minutes to give the Flames a 2-1 lead. Brickley tied the score with 57 _ seconds left in the first period, sweeping the puck past Edwards, following a shot by Mike Bullard. a high level. "People who are in a sport club are their primarily for the sheer interest of sport," McCullough said. "There are virtually no amenities involved; no laundry money, no scholarships, no preferential treat ment and, in most cases, no glory at all. I think they are motivated more for the pure love of their athletic endevor."

The ice hockey team is not pushing for varsity status anymore. us to go varsity and we'd like the status. We're always , ready to go varsity if they want us to." - "We know what's involved in becoming varsity," alternate captain Clark Dexter said. "Because of the money involved, they're dropping some of the other varsity sports and hockey's a very expensive sport. Lucas agreed that once the costs of spon live in relative obscurity Between 3,000 and 4,000 students compete in sports clubs each year and, though most people are under the impression that there are only half a dozen or so clubs to join, there are, in fact, 46 clubs with such va rious pursuits as aikido, cricket and wheelchair athletics. These clubs offer both healthy diversions from academic stress and strain and in tense competition for top athletes. "In some cases there is a more relaxed attitude, but there are quite a few peOple in all different clubs who are absolutely serious about what they do". said McCullough. "Since I've been here I know we have national champions in boxing, national champions in power-lifting, and top performers in skiing and hockey. "On an international level, our sports clubs has had impact, and nationally we are constantly having impact," he said. Mark Jayne, president of the box ing club, for example, placed second nationally in the 139-lb weight class last year. While Jayne is not a name as well known as, say, D.J. Dozier, his pugilistic accomplishments should be counted no less than the awesome football-toting ability .of the latter. The equestrian team is • another example of a nationally respected team that is virtually ignored in its own backyard. Last year, it placed first in its region and sixth national ly without even a whisper of the Penn State hoopla that normally accompanies athletic success. "We often compete against schools that are just for riding. They don't have regular classes, they just at eft Maulers need place to play PITTSBURGH (AP) The Pitts burgh Maulers have named a coach, signed players, printed tick et brochures, designed a team logo and chosen their official colors. Now, all they need is a place to play. An agreement for the Maulers to play their United States Football League games in Three Rivers Stadium is "close" and an an nouncement is expected shortly, said general manager George Hed dleston. George Whitmer, chairman of the „municipally operated Stadium Authority, said a tentative contract has been worked out for the Maul ers to play' in the stadium. "The ball's in their (the Maul ers') court," he said. But Maulers President Paul Mar tha reportedly has been unwilling to make concessions requested by the Stadium Authority. "Right now, there are certain things we'd like to have that the Stadium Authority's unwilling to concede and that's making the deal difficult," Martha told the Pitts burgh Post-Gazette. ride," said Ann Sarver, co-captain of the equestrian team. "I think the club needs more recognition. We work hard putting in a lot of hours representing the school." Perhaps the main reason the clubs are not given more recognition is that theydo not have varsity status. This, said McCullough, is probably due to finances. "Let's face it, it is a‘lot cheaper to run a sports club program than a varsity program. Penn State has a wonderful varsity program and there might be half a dozen clubs that are possibly varsity teams. "But remember, every time some one puts a line on the football or a line on an intramural field it costs money," McCullough said. "We might pay upwards of $l5O for an hour ice time for the hockey team. Ann Sarver reports similar diffi culties. "Considering the cost of outfits, lessons, transportation and show, we pay about $6OO a year to be on the team, Sarver said." The equestrian club is given $550 a year from the school, just a little less than what it costs one of its 48 members to com pete for a year. Other problems abound. The box ing club, for instance, which placed three of its members in national competition last year, has the use of university facilities three times a week for an hour and a half each. During that time, its 15 members share two heavy bags and, with the aid of advisor Eddie Sulkowski, coach and train its younger mem bers, Jayne said. "Members of the club are ex- . . . . , soring ice hockey was demonstrated to the ice hockey organization, they agreed that it might be just a bit too expensive for the University to support. "The ice hockey people have been very responsible in their approach to posting varsity status," Lucas said. "We really appreciate the role they have assumed in understanding the concern of the athletic Complicating the Maulers' prob lems has been an exclusivity clause in the lease of the National Football League Steelers, who have played in the stadium since it opened in 1970. The Steelers' lease states they are the only professional football team allowed to play in Three Riv ers. However, a similar clause in the Philadelphia Eagles' lease at Vet erans Stadium was struck down in the courts, allowing the Philadel phia Stars to play their USFL games there. The Maulers have tried so far to work behind the scenes and reach an agreement that would allow them use the stadium while avoid ing a possibly image-damaging court fight against the popular Steelers. "It's such a legal snafu," Hed dleston said. The Maulers previously were considering Pitt Stadium on the University of Pittsburgh's campus, but it has no lights and beer is. not sold there. The USFL has deemed the stadium unsuitable. "There are certain drawbacks to The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Nov. 9, 1983 pected to run on their own. I think we would be better if we had more facilities. Boxing is a complicated sport and it takes a lot of technical practice," Jayne said. An ironic problem faced by the women's soccer club is that as they have improved they have found it increasingly difficult to, find compe tition. "Since we beat Princeton," said Arnie Breckenridge, vice president of the team, "they won't play us anymore because it doesn't look good for them to lose to a club team. The better 'we get, the harder it is to find people who will play us." According to McCullough, prob lems for sport clubs run deeper than scheduling efforts. "In the past few years I don't think the University has placed a high, premium on working with students• and it has become difficult to re-. place advisors•as they retire. "Faculty members have told me that it may not be a strategiacally smart thing to become an advisor for a club because their dean then can say 'lf you've got time to fool around with a sport club, you could be writing another article.' "When you remove the faculty' from the students in a context such• as this, then some of your claim to. the title 'university' is forfeited. You' become a job preperation plant, a. training school," McCullough said. "Of course, it is necessary to send: people off to look for research grants• or to write articles, but there must: also be room for the informal inter-, action which has made our sports program so strong," McCullough said. Photo by Eric C. Hegedus department." The ice hockey team does receive funds from the University, but the team obtains most of their funds through their own ef forts. The team receives all gate receipts from home games ($1 for students, $2 for all others), produce and sell their own program and have various promotions with corpora tions such as McDonalds, Pepsi-Cola, and Elby's.

" The Maulers have printed a four-' color brochure aimed at attracting season ticket purchasers. But be cause they have spent months try ing to work out a stadium agreement, they have fallen well behind several other USFL expan sion teams in pre-season ticket sales. The 1984 USFL regular season begins in late February. The brochure features a Three Rivers seating diagram and the Maulers' logo, which depicts an ironworker swinging a sledge ham mer. "It's the kind of logo that every kid in town will want to have on a T shirt," Heddleston said. The Maul ers' colors reportedly will be fuch sia, a purplish red shade; orange and light blue. Maulers' tickets are priced at $l9, $l6, $l4 and $l2. The $l9 seats are in privately owned boxes and will not be sold to the general public.
