14—The Daily Collegian Friday, April 26, 1985 Sun, music and By ALAN J. CRAVER Collegian Staff Writer About 25,000 people are expected to lounge in the sun, enjoy live concerts and participate in competitions Sun day afternoon at the 11th annual Beta Sigma Beta Sy Barash Regatta. Howard Miller, co-chairman for the event, said the Regatta is co-spon sored by the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, UniMart and radio station WXLR. The Regatta is expected to raise nearly $32,000, which will be donated to the Centre County unit of the American Cancer Society, he said. Admission into Bald Eagle State Park in Howard will be $3 without a raffle ticket and $1 with a raffle ticket, Miller said. People who attend the Regatta, Which starts at 11 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m., can listen to concerts by musi cal groups The Hooters, The Phyrst Phamily and The Social Voyeurs, which will be playing on stage at a pavilion by the beach. Tug-of-war competitions will take place on the beach and canoe races in the lake, Miller said. Miller said The Phyrst Phamily of State College will take the stage at 41:15 a.m., and The Social Voyeurs of Philadelphia will begin playing at 1 p.m. The Hooters of Ardmore will start at 3:30 p.m. Divisions for the tug-of-war compe tition include fraternity, sorority, in dependent and residence hall teams, Miller said. A 1,200 -pound weight limit is placed on male teams and a 900-pound weight limit is placed on female teams, he said. An entrance fee of $2O is required for each team and registration ends this afternoon at 4 on the HUB ground floor, the mall gate, East Halls and Pollock Halls, he said.

Registration also ends at 4 this afternoon on the HUB ground floor, the mall gate, and East and Pollock halls, he said. In addition, The Ski Station, 224 E. College Ave., will rent windsurfers for $25 for the day and give lessons for $5 per hour. Proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. Raffle tickets will be sold for a grand prize of a trip for two to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., Miller said. Secedid prize is a windsurfer and third prize is a 35-millimeter camera. Several prominent graduates and professional football players are ex pected to make appearances at the Regatta, Miller said, but it is not yet known who will be able to attend. He said 10 buses will be available to take people to the park. The buses will cut down on traffic to and from the park and provide rides for people who do not have transportation to the park, Miller said. The buses will load passengers every 15 minutes in front of the HUB, he added. Miller said there have been no security problems at the Regatta in the past and he expects none this year. But 30 park rangers and state police will patrol the park, he said. No alcohol will be permitted in the park because of state park policy, he said. The Regatta has raised more than $121,000 for the American Cancer Society in memory of Sy Barash. Barash, a former president of Beta Sigma Beta fraternity and a State College businessman, died of cancer in 1975, Miller said. Elaine Jurs, executive director of the Centre County unit of the Ameri can Cancer Society, said the money raised by the Regatta will be handled as any other donation. The money will be used for re search, education and patient serv ices, she said. The money for fun to highlight 1 Ith Regatta research will go to the national chap ter of the society, but most of the money for education and patient services will be used in the State College area, she said. Jurs said the donation from the Regatta is the largest single contribu tion to the society this year and will help them reach their goal of $154,000. Members of the sponsoring frater nity and sorority have also collected money downtown and sold T-shirts to raise money for the charity, Miller said. During the ,past week, the fraterni T tY sponsored a "barithon " at five State College bars to increase prortio-• tion • for the . Regatta, Miller said. Each night a different bar ,had a cover charge and donated money to cover advertising expenses, he said. The participating bars included: Sunday, Cafe 210 West, 210 W. College Ave.; Monday, The Gingerbread Man, 130 Hiester St.; Tuesday, The Lion's Den, 118 S. Garner St.; Wednesday, The All-American Rathskeller, 108 S. Pugh St.; yester day, The Gingerbread Man; and to night, The Saloon, 101 Hiester St. Miller said the barathon raised about $5OO last year. He said he expects it will raise about the same Amount this year. • • ST.

He thinks he knows exactly what kinds of changes and styles, he wants to incorporate, but not until his designs meet the critics' approval does he know he has something that will be a big seller. For a big-name designer like Pa terno, who has fashioned an impres sive 176-43-2 record in his 19 years at the helm, these initial viewings are usually routine as certain styles tend to remain "in style" for years at a time, and are instantly ac cepted. But once it loses its popularity, the market becomes harder to please, as sometimes new styles or 'strate gies have to be sought out to regain the designer's previous level of suc cess. And that's the unfamiliar position Paterno finds himself in this year coming, off a mediocre 6-5 season that saw the Lions get outscored 75- 18 in the last two games. Only three times has Paterno lost five games, and not since . 1966, his initial season as head coach, did he fail to win at least seven games. The thing about most successful designers is that you can't keep them, down long, however, and Pa terno is not about to let things start off the way they ended last season as he prepares to unveil the 1985 edition of the Lions at 1 tomorrow afternoon at Beaver Stadium. "In my business you're only as good as what you've done the last time out, and if you don't think that, you're crazy," Paterno said. "We Shaffer, Knizner set to square off in QB battle By MARK ASHENFELTER Collegian Sports Writer For John Shaffer and Matt knizn ter tomorrow afternoon's Blue- White game will be one last chance to show the coaching staff they each deserve to be the starting quar terback when the regular-season opens against Maryland in Septem ber. Head Coach Joe Paterno has yet to announce a starter for the 1985. season and has said he will wait until he has taken a long Jook at Shaffer, Kniznei and redshirt freshman Craig McCoy to make a decision. A strong performance by a specif ic candidate in the annual scrim mage would not give him the inside track, but Shaffer and Knizer, con sidered the top two candidates for the job, still hope to make a lasting impression. Shaffer, a 6-3, 202-pound native of Cincinnati, Ohio, has more game experience than Knizner, but he does not feel that it will make a big difference when the two go head-to head at Beaver Stadium. " "I don't think that if someone has a great Spring game he will auto matically be the top quarterback," Shaffer said. "I don't think you can put that much importance on a single game. "I really don't think there will be a decision made after spring ball. I think we'll have to go into the pre season and see how the team has developed and we've developed as quarterbacks." Knizner, a 6-2'/z, 191-pound red shirt-sophomore from Youngwood, Pa., saw limited action last season and is ready to prove himself this year. He also realizes that a stellar performance tomorrow will not give him a decisive edge when preseason camp opens in August. ion booters ready to face U.S. World Cup squa. By TOM FLYNN Collegian Sports Writer Soccer with an international flair debuts tonight at Jeffrey Field as Penn State's soccer team hosts the United States nation al team at 7:30 p.m. • Tonight's game will be the sixth and last for the U.S. team, as it completes two weeks of exhibition play in preparation for the second round of World Cup competition. The national team has performed well during its exhibition slate, with a 4-0-1 record against collegiate and semi-profes sional competition. After tonight's game, the national team meets World Cup compe tition, with games against Trinidad-Tobago on May 15 and 19, and a pair with Costa Rica on May 26 and 31. For the Lions, this match is a chance to prepared to unveil new design to public obviously were not 'a very good football team and we were not a very well coached football team the last two games of last year." Paterno, one of the winningest collegiate coaches in history, is not demanding wins, just consistent performance. . "I'm not interested in winning all of our games," Paterno said. "I'm interested in going out there and playing good football. If we do that, everything will take care of itself." For the first time in his Career, Paterno lost the last two games of a season, and the question must now be asked. Can he and the Lions recover and get off on the right foot with virtually the same squad back in uniform from a year ago? Indeed, with 16 of 22 regulars back in 4985, and a schedule that dropped Texas and lowa in favor of the likes of East Carolina, Temple and Cin cinnati, it seems to be anything but a building year for the Lions. Paterno, however, is still wincing from those season-ending losses to Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, and his approach to the situation has been to officially declare all positions open. With such a veteran squad, the basics would seem to be overlooked in favor of more complex strategies to take advantage of the team's experience. But• Paterno said just the opposite is the case. "We haven't done anything fan cy;" Paterno said. "We're just try ing to find out some people who can block and 'tackle. So we really are starting all over." One of the major areas targeted for improvement is the offense, which struggled last year as Doug Strang completed only 39 percent of his passes to a youthful core of receivers. Add to that the fact that tailback D.J. Dozier picked up only 691 bruising yards, and one "I don't think the Blue-White Game will decide anything," Knizn er said. "It'll probably come down to the preseason. Joe has done this in the past -- he's been known to wait until August to make a deci sion. This isn't the first time its happeried. "I think a bad game could hurt you, but I'm not going to say a good game will help you." . A key to last season's dismal 6-5 record was the inconsistency of the quarterback position. Doug Strang suffered through a' dismal senior year in which he completed just 57 for 138 attempts and was inter cepted 10 times while throwing for only five touchdowns. With Strang Seeing the most action last season the Lions averaged a paltry 133.7 yards per game. Shaffer, who started against Syr acuse when Strang was injured and led the Lions .to a 21-3 victory, completed 40 of 96 attempts last season. Knizner who went 7 for 14 last year and ran for two touch downg against William and Mary said that Paterno has the quar terbacks beginning from scratch this season. "We're working on the fundamen tals," Knizner said. "Joe's making us become more aware of the de fenses. He's really emphasizing that this year." Last season ended on a dismal note for the Lions with consecutive losses to Notre Dame and Pitt. Shaffer said the team took the set backs hard, but is looking forward to the upcoming season. "I think the team feels we have an awful lot of talent this year," Shaffer said. "I think the best days are ahead of us. We will do very well in the future because of the talent and the coaching staff that we have." learn, to play against some of the best players in the nation. But as always, the team is preparing to win. "It's a great experience for everybody," Lion forward Niall Harrison said. "We're going in as definite' underdogs, because they're professionals; they're playing at a higher level than us. But we feel that we can beat these guys. We're not going to sit back and watch; we want to win." Penn State Head Coach Walter Bahr expects a good showing from his squad for several reasons. "Even though it's only an exhibition game, it should be a good, com petitive game for two reasons," Bahr said. "One, the Penn State team is out to show that they play a fairly high standard of soccer. We hope to be very competitive with them. Secondly, this World Cup team that the USA is putting together is not set. Lion Ray Isom (left) attempts to stop Texas' Terry Off in a game last season at the Meadowlands.

Knizner will be vying with John Shaffer for the starting quarterback spot during the Blue• White Game at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Beaver Stadium. Paterno is not in any hurry to name his quarterback and has yet to see enough to make what might be the most crucial personnel deci sion for next season's team. "I'm not going to make up my mind as to which is the better quar terback until I have a chance to evaluate (Shaffer and Knizner) in a competitive system," Paterno said. "In all fairness, I don't think they've had a chance to compete against each other long enough for me to say one is better than the They're still working with a pool of 30 players. Of the ones that are playing, only half, maybe not• even half, are sure bets to remain with the team, because they have an awful lot of professionals that are still playing in the MISL. Their playoffs are still going on." The Major Indoor Soccer League playoffs are a major headache to U.S. national team Coach Alkis Panagoulias. Many of his key booters compete in the MISL, which, unlike most leagues in other nations, does not have an agreement with its national soccer feder ation to release players for international competition. Such stars as Ricky Davis of the San Diego Sockers, teammate Kevin Crow, and Angelo Dißernado of Kansas City are caught in their teams' successes, and cannot join the national team until their respective squads are eliminated. "I think they both have a lot of ability, I think it's just a question now of which one performs better. And if neither one performs better and they both perform really well and I think both of them are capable of doing the job, then I think I'm going to have ,to sit on • that for awhile." Until he reaches a final decision Paterno will also have Shaffer and Ktiizner sitting on the edge of their seats. • Penn State defense starts from scratch By CHRIS RAYMOND Collegian Sports Writer With the disappointment of last season's final two games tucked neatly away for posterity's sake, the defensive unit of the football team reported to spring practice in March eager to learn from last year's mistakes. According to Head Coach Joe Paterno that means starting from scratch with 22 players and a lot of hard work. "We have to start all over again with the idea that none of them can play," he said. "We're just start ing over on fundamentals. . . We're not getting very fancy." Fortunately, Penn State has a strong crop of players to begin with. With 19 of 22 players from last year's defensive squad return ing to practice this season, experi ence could prove to be an . important factor. "I feel that experience in any area wherever it may be is always a plus for anybody," defensive end Bob White said. "And I think that's going to help in the long run." White's 1984 stats (33 tackles and seven sacks) make him a strong bet to return to his spot on the defensive line along with vet eran end Don Ginnetti. Dan Mor gan, who picked up 26 tackles and three sacks for the Lions before leaving the West Virginia game with a knee injury, is also a strong contender for one of those spots. The two tackle positions will most likely be filled by senior Todd Moules and junior Mike Rus so, who combined for a total of 87 stops in 1984. Penn State should once again be . Also caught in this dilemma is Penn State alumnus Dan Canter. The former Lion defender now plays for the Chicago Sting, which had a playoff match last night at Cleveland. Bahr said that although Canter wanted to arrive for tonight's game and play perhaps a half, he does not expect Canter to play. One former Penn State alum who will be suiting up tonight is defender Lou Karbien er. Currently an assistant to Bahr, Karbien er will start at sweeper. He represents one of three lineup changes from last season's starting lineup, a team that went 17-5-1 and advanced two rounds into the NCAA tourna ment. Senior Greg Kenney will make his last appearance in the Penn State goal, with Dave Zartman, Gerry Moyer, and Larry Miller (moving back from the forward line) joining Karbeiner as defenders. Steve Pot- The Daily Collegian Friday, April 26, 1985 One of this year's new faces on the line is senior Todd Moules, who started along the defensive front four a year ago. Moules, who played on offense his sophomore year, said with everyone thinking they can win a job, prac tices have been more intense. "I think it has helped the attitude of the team," Moules said. "Every body's been really enthusiastic all spring, and although we still hve a long way to go, the guys have been willing to take that extra step in practice to improve. I think we're getting there as a team." Paterno is one of the believers in the idea that the offense may be exciting, but it is defense that wins games. And with that in mind, the Lions should have no problems bet tering last season's win total. With only linebacker Carmen Masciantonio and cornerback Chris Sydnor lost to graduation, and with many capable backups with consid erable experience, the defense looks to be in need of only a little fine tuning. But linebacker Rogers Alexander said it is not that way at all. "We may have more people back, but after the last two games of last year, we know we still have a lot of work ahead of us," Alexander said. "This spring'we have been working to improve or tackling and our con centration, and although the effott has been there, we still have a long way to go to get where we want to be by the time the season begins." strong in the linebacker depart ment this season as the Lions will return to action in September lacking only the services of Car men Masciantonio. Defensive Coordinator and Line backer Coach Jerry Sandusky said, however, that every line backer position is still up for grabs. "We haven't made any decisions yet in terms of depth," he said, "but we have a number of people that we're considering for a num ber of positions." Shane Conlan, who finished sec ond on the squad in sacks in 1984, heads the list of outside lineback ers, however, he must still contend With the strong play of Chris Col lins and Mike Latsko in order to insure himself of a starting spot. • Rogers Alexander, a 1984 start er, Bob Ontko, Trey Bauer, Greg Johns and Pete Giftopoulos are all competing for a starting position at inside linebacker. Donnie Gra ham has been moved to an outside linebacker/defensive end position. The secondary returns to action in 1985 under Ron Dickerson. "I think we're progressing very well," Dickerson said. "We've been blessed with not getting any major injuries so everything is basically intact." The secondary is lead by senior strong safety Mike Zordich, whose 45 stops earned him All-East hon ors last fall. Ray Isom, the team leader in tackles last season with 82, is a strong favorite to return to safety. At cornerback, the Lions return starter Lance Hamilton along with reserves Drew Bycoskie, Duffy Cobbs, Dwayne Downing, Darrell Giles and Marques Henderson. ter, Kevin Jennings, and Troy Snyder are at midfield, with Jay Ruby joining returning starters Niall Harrison and Thomas Greve at forward. Unlike his college days at Temple, when warm bodies with little soccer ability or experience were recruited to fill out the lineup, Bahr said his problem today is finding roam for all the talent on his roster. One answer is to move Miller, a versatile player, back to the defensive line to open a slot for Ruby, a forward. "It's not so much that we want to move Larry back there as we're trying to find a spot for Jay Ruby, who has done very well," Bahr said.
