Penn State club sports
By TODD A. 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."

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

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

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.

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.

ble," Martha said. "Concessions,
lack of parking, a lack of lighting,
access . . . "
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.
