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.

Miller said. An entrance fee of $l5 is
required for individuals or two-mem
ber teams. 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. • •

Paterno
By CHRIS LINDSLEY
Collegian Sports Writer
Every spring around this time,
Head Football Coach Joe Paterno is
like a nervous fashion designer
waiting to present his new ideas to
the public for the first time. 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

White game will be one last chance
to show the coaching staff they each
deserve to be the starting quar

opens against Maryland in Septem

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.

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.

defender applies some pressure during a game at the Meadowlands last
year. 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

evaluate (Shaffer and Knizner) in a
competitive system," Paterno said.

remain with the team, because they have an

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

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.
