try to extend their EWL winning streak to 20 this weekend against Pittsburgh and West Virginia at Rec Hall.
Grapplers ready for EVVI. foes
By CHRIS LINDSLEY
Collegian Sports Writer
After coming off a thrilling 22-21
victory over Cleveland State, the
second best team in the Eastern
Wrestling League, it would, seem
only natural for the wrestling
team to suffer a letdown.
But in preparation for hosting a
pair of EWL foes this weekend
(Pitt at 2 p.m. Saturday and West
Virginia at 2 p.m. on Sunday),
Penn State has been practicing as
hard as It has all season.
The Lions, No. 4 in the country
with a 12-2 mark, have practiced
every day this week at 6:45 in the
morning and again at 3:45 p.m. Of
these additional practices, 167-
pounder Eric Brugel said they will
help in the long run
"We • have been going at it in
practice this week, and we may be
a little tired this weekend," the
junior said. "But I think the extra
practices will benefit us down the
road as we approach tournament
time."
But Penn State is gearing up for
the EWL championships and na
tionals without many of its star
performers
Scott Lynch (126) is still out, as
is John Manotti (134). Filling those
spots this weekend will be Scott
Webster and Marty Bollinger, re
spectively.
Recent developments will also
force Penn State Head Coach Rich
Lorenzo to use backups at the next
two weight classes as well.
. At 142, Eric Childs (10-2-1) is out
• 1.::, ,, I.'!•V:i'•:ig 5 ff" , 1;1•1::'.
..:,:,,"11•;v,::.ii;::.ikcr.:,••
with knee problems and • 150-
pounder Chris Bevilacqua (22-3-3)
is suffering from bronchitis.
Childs was scheduled to wrestle
off this week with Gary Kaschak
for the starting nod at 142, which
will now fall into Kaschak's hands.
And a new face, that of fifth
year senior Jeff Rosenberger, will
be thrust into the lineup for the
first time this year at 150.
One of the many injured start
ers, heavyweight Steve Sefter, is
expected back into the lineup after
a two-match absense.
Although Pitt and West Virginia
are by no means the class of the
EWL, they both are blessed with
quality wrestlers
For Pitt, 126-pounder Kyle Nel
lis (23-6), 142-pounder Joe Throck
morton (15-5) and 167-pounder Jeff
Jelic (22-2) give them a strong
'nucleus.
Even though the Panthers are
only 5-9 coming in, Lorenzo said
that record is deceiving.
"Pitt has some outstanding indi
viduals and they
. are wrestling
better now than they have all
year," Lorenzo said. "Although
they are 5-9, they took Navy down
to the wire and we're not going to
take them lightly."
The feature match on Saturday
is between two of the best 167-
pounders in the country, the Lions'
Brugel (22-6) and the Panthers'
Jelic.
All season long Brugel has had
problems with the top wrestlers in
his weight class and he is hoping to
turn that around on Saturday.

"I'd really love to beat him,
especially since I've lost to him
before," Brugel said. "It will be a
challenge for me, but if I keep my
hedd in the match and I avoid
making mistakes, there's no rea
son I can't win."
West Virginia, like Pitt, has a
few strong weight classes, but
lacks the team depth the Lions
enjoy.
Lorenzo said the Mountaineers
(5-5) are strong from 167 to heavy
weight and should provide his
squad with a good test heading
into EWL's.
The importance of , this week
end's doubleheader is largely in
the seedings of the individual
wrestlers for the EWL tourna
ment, which is done by the EWL
coaches.
And with Penn State missing at
least four wrestlers who have a
good shot at participating in that
tournament, Lorenzo said it's un
fortunate that Pitt and West Vir
ginia will not get to see a stronger
Penn State lineup.
"I wish we had the full team,
because it's important for seeding
purposes," he said. "All the
coaches try to figure out the seeds,
and by not seeing someone wres
tle, it makes that process more
difficult.
"Look at Bevilacqua. He's one
of the best 150-pounders in the
country, but he's 0-0-2 in the EWL
and he's not going to wrestle at all
this weekend. So after five EWL
matches he'll still be 0-0-2."
Gymwomen optimistic for Arizona St.
By RICK STOUCH
Collegian Sports Writer
What the women's gymnastics team could use right now
is some rest. Instead, Penn State will face No. 2 Arizona
State at 8 tonight in Rec Hall.
But the Lady Lions (9-3) are just back from a successful
midwestern swing with no losses and no . injuries. So Head
Coach Judi Avener said although the gymnasts are tired
and the chances of beating Arizona. State are small, the
Penn State team is optimistic and inspired.
"They're just so tired they don't know how tired they
are," Avener said. "but their hearts won't let them be
tired. I think they'll rally because they really want to do a
good job. They don't want to embarrass themselves or.
Penn State in front of this great team. I think they're
really going to try hard."
The Lady Sun Devils, who finished second in the NCAA
last year, appear nothing , less than awesome. Avener
heard from Nebraska's coach that they and Utah are
potentially the highest-scoring and deepest teams ever
assembled in women's gymnastics.
Sh 6 also heard that Arizona State averages 9.4 per event
and has a high meet score of 186, compared to Penn State'g
178. At that rate, Avener wants her team to look at
Swimmen hope

Collegian Sports Writer
The men's swimming and diving
team will face its toughest opponent
of the year, the Harvard University
Crimson, in its final meet of the
season on Sunday in Cambridge,
Mass.
Last weekend, in competition
against Princeton, a shaven Crimson
team placed its best times of the
season. Consequently, Penn State lost
its first place standing in the East to
Harvard and dropped to the second
spot.
Penn State Head Coach Lou Mac -
eill said the reason Harvard shaved
was "to show the Eastern swimming
world they were the best in the East."
The Lions would like nothing more
than to regain that No. 1 ranking.
Penn State followed Harvard's foot-
Flyers rally in 3rd beats Oilers, 4-3
Flyers 4, Oilers 3
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Glen Cochrane and Thomas
Eriksson scored 13 seconds apart in the third period to
rally the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-3 victory over the
Edmonton Oilers last night in a NHL game.
The Flyers trailed 3-2 when Ron Sutter, who had three
assists, shot from about eight feet. Edmonton goalie Grant
Fuhr made a right-skate save, but the puck rebounded to
Cochrane, who scored at 10:32 to tie the game.
Thirteen seconds later, Eriksson, who had an earlier
goal, picked up a loose puck 25 feet out and beat Fuhr with
a slapshot between the goalie's legs to give the Flyers the
winning margin.
The Oilers, leaders of the Smythe Division, played
without their two high scorers, Wayne Gretzky and Jari
Kurri, both nursing injuries.
Red Wings 9, Penguins 3
DETROIT (AP) Detroit's John Ogrodnick scored a
pair of short-handed goals last night as the Red Wings
tonight's opponent more as a teacher than as a challenger. Sk
"Unless Arizona State completely falls apart we can't '
beat them," she said. "I.think to learn just how good they
are and what we can do to try and approach their level of '
expertise will help. They are a young team too, but at a
different level. They are used to the higher, elite level •
"Our goal is to give a good performance and to try to be
more consistent than we were on the trip, to look a little
more polished than • we did on the trip and to let Arizona
State's polish and finesse try to inspire us. I know I'm
going to sound like a broken record, but we want to learn
from this "
If the Lady Lions can learn things as important as what
they did on the road, tomorrow night's lesson could be
helpful indeed. Avener said at Wednesday's Nebraska
meet, a 178.35-178.05 Penn State win, she discovered just
how much desire her team has. -
"They were so exhausted and Nebraska was so hot," she
said. "The Nebraska meet was so loseable. We could have
thrown it away so easily, 'and they just didn't do it. •
"I learned that they are really hungry. I learned to
believe in them and their desire and they learned to
believe in themselves and never to give up. They came ,
through under pressure so many times. As a coach I really
learned they have the heart and desire to go to the top."

day's meet
The Lions have just come off their
last home meet, a win against
Temple. University. The team is pre
paring for the Atlantic 10
Championships scheduled for later
this month. Although a win at Har
vard is important to the Lions, they
are not going to measure their entire
season by this one meet. Penn State's
sights are ultimately set on the
championships.
Harvard's shaven times should
prove stiff competition for the Lions.
But the Lions have no intention of
letting Harvard have an easy victory.
"We originally plapned our taper
more into Harvard," said Captain
Rick Kennedy, "But since we've seen
the results (of the Princeton meet),
we've shifted more toward Atlantic
10s."
skated to a 9-3 NHL victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Pittsburgh's Ron Flockhart scored two goals in a losing
effort, raising his season total to 18.
The Red Wings took an early 3-0 lead on Ron Duguay's
power play goal, his 22nd, and scores by defeitsemen John
Barrett and Brad Park. 3-2. •
After the Penguins closed to within 3-2, Colin Campbell
gave Detroit some breathing room with a goal at 13:44 of '
the second period and Ogrodnick scored his 37th and his
second short-handed goal of the season —late in the
period.

MONTREAL ( AP) Neil Belland and Stan Smyl scored

Vancouver's victory spoiled a brilliant night for Montre

assist and became the team's all-time leading scorer with
1,223 points. He surpassed Jean Beliveau, who had 1,210

And because the chances for a
victory are slim, Mac Neill is not
concerned with winning the meet.
"This is our first venture into New
England," Mac Neill said. "Our goal
is to give them a very strong respecti
able challenge."
The Lions have a good opportunity
to place well in the 200-yard freestyle
and butterfly events and the 400-yard 1,
individual medley and the diving
events, Mac Neill said.
The fact the Lions are partially
thrbugh their taper (preparations for

they will be more rested. But, they.
may not be rested enough.

great halfway through the taper,"
Kennedy said. "But, we'll go crazy'
and we could win."

Spikers get a rest' against Ball St.
By JOHN WEISS
Collegian Sports Writer
The men's volleyball team has been
waiting a long time for this weekend.
After opening the season with four
weekends of either road matches or
tournament play, the No. 7 Nittany
Lions are finally getting what any
team enjoys a single home match.
When Penn State (11-4) takes on
No. 9 Ball State 4 7 p.m. tomorrow at
Rec Hall's South Gym, Head Coach
Tom Tait will see quite a few advan
tages overtaking his team into tour
nament play.
"This weekend it'll surprise me if
we don't come out and play really top
notch volleyball," Tait said. "Those
first four weeks were quite a grind.
"Now we can really focus all of our
attention on one team," the coach
added. "We know who it's going to be
in advance and we know who they are
and what they're like and what they
like to do."
Sophomore setter Duane Trumble
echoed Tait's sentiments.
"It helps us concentrate on just the
one match," Trumble said. "Some
times it's always in the back of your
head who your going to play next and
you shouldn't do that, but it's always
there."
Part of the Lions' problem in last
week's Ohio State Invitational was
not knowing they would be running up
against the host Buckeyes in the
1) semifinals. Penn State lost to No. 10
Ohio State in the five-game match.
"After the Ohio State match we
were all very disappointed," Trum
ble said, "but we had a big talk on the
way home and we got things straight
ened out "
Trumble said the team confirmed it
had to get into each match, intensity
wise, right from the start, instead of
waiting to get too far into the games.
The Lions have worked in practice
this week to turn 'that around.
There is no doubt Penn State's
intensity will have to be soaring
against a team of Ball State's caliber.
The team is one that Cardinal Head
Coach Don Shondell has called "on
paper, the most talented group in my
24 years at Ball State."
The Cardinals are a team much the

opposite of the young Penn State
squad, boasting eight returning let
termen, including four starters.
The heart of the team lies in a trio
which has played together since high
school in Fort Wayne, Ind. setter
Randy Litchfield, middle blocker Bri
an Hyde and outside hitter Corky
Robertson.
But Tait said Ball State has not had
as an outstanding a season as ex
pected, already losing key matches to
Ohio State and George Mason, as well
as to Penn State. The Nittany Lions
defeated the Cardinals two weeks ago
in a Rec Hall comeback thriller 10-15,
13-15, 16-14, 15-10, 15-6.
"They (Ball State) certainly have
the advantage of experience, of all
those players having played togeth
er," Tait said. "That certainly has to
be positive for them."
However, Tait said an abundance
of experience can sometimes work
against a team.
"Experience is good but sometimes
you find out that when you get every
body back and it looks like everything
is together, that from a mental stand
point you don't get things together,"
Tait said. "Sometimes complacency
starts to develop."
Is this what has happened to the
veteran Cardinals? Tait said he is not
sure, but the possibility is there.
But this hardly means the Ball
State squad is to be taken lightly and
it's very doubtful they will be compla
cent.
Trumble mentioned the strong ri
valry that exists between the two
teams. He said he would not be sur
prised if the Cardinals were seeking
revenge from their loss two weeks
ago.
"A lot of the guys don't like Ball
State," Trumble said, "and I think
that across the net there's always
going to be a rivalry with any team,
but we play them every year and
they're always out to beat us.
"They're going to come out after us
pretty hard and we're expecting
that," Trumble added, "but we just
have to keep our intensity level high
right from the first point to the last
point."

Jabbar sets NBA record,
plans to retire next year
BOSTON (AP) Having be
come the NBA's all-time leader in
field goals, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
now is concerned about staying in
the league too long.
"I'm going to play next year and
that will be it," said the 7-2 Los
Angeles Lakers' center after scor
ing 27 points Wednesday night in a
111-109 victory over the Boston
Celtics.
Abdul-Jabbar hit 12 field goals,
making him the NBA's all-time
leader with 12,685. He surpassed
the mark of 12,681 held by Wilt
Chamberlain.
`l've seen some athletes stick
around too long," said the 36-year
old Abdul-Jabbar. "And that was a
disappointment for them personal
ly and their fans.
"Mostly I remember Willie
Mays with the Mets. That made
me feel bad. He was one of the
greatest players in the league and
he stayed too long."
The former UCLA star, the
NBA's Rookie of the Year in the
1969-1970 season, set the record at
4:38 mark of the third period,

That touched off a thunderous
ovation from the normally parti
san Boston Garden crowd of
14,890.
"I know the Boston Garden," he
said. "It has a lot of history and it
was a great feeling to get the
record in this building. People .
here appreciate the game of bas

Now, Abdul-Jabbar can take
aim at another Chamberlain re
cord, the all-time scoring record of
31,419. He needs to average better
than 19 points per game the rest of
the season to break it.
In his 15th NBA season, Abdul-
Jabbar said there's no reason in
being compared with Chamber
lain, whose brilliant NBA career
began in 1960 and ended in 1973.

when I was in high school," he
said. "But I have my own goals to
achieve in the NBA and if I play
long enough I'll probably achieve
them."
