Knizner working to show improvement
By DOUG FRANK
Collegian Sports Writer
If junior quarterback Matt Knizner had his way,
he would be a better player each time he picked up
a football, and he seems to be doing just that.
Two years ago, Knizner saw no action with the
Lions, and in 1984 he had very limited time behind
the center, attempting only 14 passes all year.
Compare that with 1985, when Knizner and John
Shaffer went down to the wire in the contest for the
starting job, with Shaffer getting the nod by the
smallest of margins.
Quite a dramatic improvement for Knizner in
one year..
“You just go out with a positive attitude,”
Knizner said. “You say, ‘Hey, I’m going to get
better,’ every time you go onto the field.”
Knizner would need the University’s computer
to count the number of times he has gone out onto
the field since he first started tossing a football at
the age of eight.
From those early beginnings, Knizner said he
received nothing but support from his parents.
“It was all encouragement,” Knizner said.
Bahr seeks 150th win as hooters face WVU
By CAROL D. RATH
Collegian Sports Writer
Despite moving up one notch to No. 6, in the
Intercollegiate Soccer Association of America
poll, Coach Walter Bahr, who is looking for his
150th win, said the ranking will not influence his
team’s play when it meets West Virginia (7:15
tonight at Jeffrey Field) and travels to No. 13
Akron on Sunday.
“Those rankings are flattering but they’re cer
tainly unrealistic at this point in the season after
only four games,” Bahr said. “If we had played 18
games and were coming towards the end of the
season, and we were ranked No. 6, I’d be very
flattered. But as of now, it’s just a nice' comple
ment, and whether it’s deserving or not, we don’t
know.”
The Lions (3-1) will appear in their second home
game against the (1-3) Mountaineers and will
meet the 3-1-1 Zippies at 2 p.m. Sunday.
“The history of the West Virginia series (PSU—
-15, WVU—4) has been that we always have a very
difficult game with them, particularly at West
Virginia,” Bahr said. “But we win most of the
games we play at Penn State. We don’t play in that
section with West Virginia that much and it’s
Netmen head South

As the men’s tennis team travels to
Norfolk, Va., this weekend to do bat
tle against three Southern tennis pow
erhouses, the squad will have an
opportunity to test some of the un
tapped resources the talent-ridden
squad possesses.
The Lions want to prove to them
selves as well as to the rest of the
tennis world that they have the sub
stance it takes to be the winning team
they strive to be. And against Old
Dominion, Kentucky and North Caro
lina State, the team will have more
than its hands full.
Last season, Kentucky dominated
its opponents and earned a presti
gious Top 10 ranking in collegiate
tennis. Although North Carolina State
was runner-up in the Atlantic Coast
Conference, the WoUpack lost the
division title in the final match of the
season to Virginia. Old Dominion
continued its excellence in tennis by
being consistent in a highly compet
itive Southern conference.
During last year’s competition, the
Lions soundly defeated Old Dominion
for the first time in four years, 6-3. By
far the biggest challenge facing the

“They never forced me to play football; it was
really up to me. Sports was in my family my
brothers played, and my father loved sports ...
and the area I’m from, they love football.”
Perhaps “worship football” would be a be a
better way to phrase it. Knizner hails from Young
wood, Pa., a town not far removed from Pitts
burgh and what could be mildly termed rabid
Steeler mania.
Not oqjy that, but there was another quar
terback who came out of Youngwood a few years
ago who managed to make a name for himself in
professional football a man by the name of
George Blanda.
Blanda was still playing when Knizner was
beginning his football career, and he lists Blanda.
as his favorite player in those years.
With such a football legend as a role model,
Knizner almost couldn’t help rising to stardom
himself. In his junior year at Greensburg’s Hemp
field High School, he threw for 1,090 yards, which
he followed with 789 yards in his senior season.
And those numbers were from an option offense
geared to the run.
Knizner’s junior year statistics were enough to
always an unknown when we come up against
them, unless they have a lot of players back from
the year before.”
Besides having to face the Lions, the West
Virginia team may encounter two other disadvan
tages: the fans and the field.
The attendence for last year’s WVU-PSU at
Morgantown game was about 200, tiny compared
to the Lions’ average home attendence of 2,000.
“When we played West Virginia last year, we
were down there and it was on astroturf,” mid
fielder Steve Potter said. “Whenever we play on
turf, it more or less equalizes the game. I think
we’re a much better team than West Virginia, but
I think it’s just a matter of us going out there and
showing it.”
“The teams that play on astroturf tell me that
they usually prefer the grass, not the other way
around,” Bahr added. “They don’t seem to have
any problems moving from astroturf to grass. The
teams that complain all the time are the teams
that play on grass and have to play an occasional
game on astroturf. It doesn’t seem to work the
other way around.”
“It always is a disadvantage for a team like
West Virginia to come here,” Potter said. “I know
a lot of teams hate to come here and play at
Lions is no doubt Kentucky.
Little is known about the Kentucky
team this season except to expect the
same type of quality players charac
teristic by Kentucky team for the
past several seasons.
“ We are definitely playing a higher
class of teams,” Lee Sponaugle said.
“ With this type of competition we
will pull together as a unit. This is one
of our biggest assets.”
“.This will probably be the toughest
competition this season,” Adam
Steinberg said. “ I think the team will
perform well.”
The means of achieving victory this
weekend against three well-respected
opponents has not been determined
by the team as of yet
“ If we win at least three singles
matches, we can probably win two of
the three doubles matches,” Sponau
gle said. “ We are always strong in
doubles teams.”
But that is not the strategy main
tained by all due to some new combi
nations of doubles players. Early in
the tennis season, the communication
abilities and familiarization between
partners is not at its peak. Some still
feel the consistency of four returning
upperclassmen in the singles rotation
is the key to success.

Golfers ready for Open
By MARK FURRY
Collegian Sports Writer
If competition breeds success, then
this year’s men’s golf team should be
successful.
The 1985 version of the team will be
unveiled this weekend as the team
travels to West Point, N.Y., to partici
pate in the West Point Fall Intercolle
giate Golf Championship.
With several returning player’s
from last years squad, and a quality
freshmen class, Coach Mary Kenne
dy said she feels this team could be
one of her best.
“This team really has a chance to
be one of the best we’ve had here at
Penn State,” said Kennedy. “The
depth on this year’s team is quite
good. We have 12 guys that could play
at any time.”
Returning sophomore Terry Her
zog agrees. “We really have more
depth this year than last year. This
year’s freshmen class is excellent,”
said Herzog.
Kennedy has six freshmen on this
year’s 12-man squad, and said it is a
quality group.
“This freshmen class is one of the
best I’ve had here, and they will push
r/ -
seriously impress the Lions, and by his senior year
he had not only Penn State but Georgia Tech,
Virginia, Michigan and Michigan State courting
him.
Knizner’s senior season also Penn State’s
national championship season, and he indicated
that the championship whs one factor that in
fluenced his decision to join the Lions, but not the
only one.
“I felt that Penn State was the type of school that
suited me best because of the way Joe Paterno
coaches,” Knizner said. “He demands a lot out of
the players, and I felt if I did come to Penn State, it
would make me the best athlete I could be, and a
student as well.”
Quarterback Coach Bob Phillips, a veteran of
scores of Penn State signal callers, said the switch
from high school star to college sidelines can be a
difficult one.
“It is a big adjustment,” Phillips said. “Most of
them don’t expect to play right away, especially
when it comes to a school Where there are good
athletes. So they’re ready to sit out a year or two
and learn.”
Jeffrey (Field) as far as they know that we’re
going to have the crowd behind us and we’re also a
much tougher team at home. But as far as the fans
and the horpe field advantage, I don’t think they
want to play here.”
The Mountaineers dropped their third consec
utive game of the season Wednesday night to West
Virginia Wesleyan University, 3-0. West Virginia
also was defeated by No. 3 Virginia, 3-0 and the
University of Tampa, 2-1 (double overtime). The
Mountaineers sole victory came against the Uni
versity of Charleston.
West Virginia is led by co-captains senior de
fenders Abibou Niang and Tony Lopes. Some of the
key players for the Mountaineers are sophomore
midfielder Omid Namazi, freshman midfielder
Chris Bennett, and goalie Brian Hartlove.
The University of Akron is also coming off a
defeat Wednesday night against Evansville, 1-0.
The Zippies have posted victories against the
University of Massachusetts, Adelphi University
and Quincy College. A double overtime-game with
Wisconsin-Green Bay ended in a 0-0 tie.
Against Akron, the Lions will be guarding
against the Zippies’ leading scorers, junior mid
fielder Michael Berish, sophomore midfielder Pat
Nash, and freshman forward Kory Sensky.
the upperclassmen for playing
spots,” she said.
One of those upperclassmen, Hert
zog,said, “It’s going to be tougher to
qualify for the tournaments this year
because of the new guys. The compe
tition on the team has really in
creased from last year.”
Because of the depth of this year’s
team, Kennedy will try to look at as
many people as possible under tour
nament conditions.
“We want to let our new player’s
get their feet wet, for the experience
they receive now will be invaluable
later in the season,” said Kennedy.
One way Kennedy is doing this is by
trimming back the number of players
who are allowed to skip the team’s
qualifying round. Last year, the play
er’s with the three lowest scores from
the previous tournament were
exempt from the qualifying round.
This year, however, only two will be
exempt, opening up three spots for
new people.
“This tournament will be a good
test for us because a lot of the team’s
in our district will be competing. 1
won’t say it’s crucial for us to dp well,
but we do want to start out on the
right foot,” said Kennedy.

LOCK HAVEN Missed oppor
tunities and a second half letdown
offset an overall good game by the
field hockey team as it lost to Lock
Haven yesterday 3-2.
Although the Lady Lions (2-2)
dominated most of the game and
outshot the Bald Eagles (2-0) 21-
11, Lock Haven rallied from a 2-1
deficit with two goals in the last 10
minutes rallied them from a 2-1
deficit.
Coach Gillian Rattray said her
team did not put Lock Haven away
when it had the chance.
“In the beginning of the game
we were actually a little hesitant
we were backing off and waiting
to see what happened instead of
really putting the pressure on
them,” she said. “In the last part
of the first half I thought we were
really dominating the game. Then
in the second half we slacked off a
little, and Lock Haven capitalized
on the fast breaks.”
Rattray’s offensive strategy
paid off at 25:32 of the first period
when junior forward Stacia Palah
nuk scored through a crowded net
for a 1-0 Penn State lead.
“I was rushing the goalie’s pads,
and that puts pressure on her and
she is less likely to save a goal,”
Palahnuk said. “So when I got the
chance I hit it in.”
The Lady Lions continued to
keep the ball in the Bald Eagles’
end of the field, but after several
shots narrowly missed the oppos
ing goal the score remained 1-0 at
the half.

Sure, the women’s volleyball team
won big last weekend against Villano
va, Queens and Toledo, and they do
have a 12-game win streak, but Head
Coach Russ Rose is more than just
worried about this weekend’s
matches against Michigan State,
Ohio State and LSU.
“Practice has been bad all week,”
Rose said. “Maybe it’s the hot weath
er; the girls just don’t have much
energy. I’ve seen a lot of sloppy
play ”
Rose said the player’s attitudes
have been bad, too.
“They aren’t nearly as spirited as
they were in the pre-season,” he said,
“and you’ve got to have a good atti
tude to win.”
And attitude isn’t Rose’s only prob
lem. Pre-season injuries still hamper
three of his six starters. Izetta Phil
lips, a 5-8 middle blocker twisted her
ankle two weeks ago, and Rose said
starting her is highly unlikely. He
said the loss of Phillips is especially
devastating, because she is such an
important part of his rebuilding plans
for a young Lady Lion squad.
Also out of the lineup is outside
hitter Rachel Ash, who dislocated her

glad we got some offense going,
but we have to learn to finish our
drives,” Rattray said. “Those
near misses at the end of the first
half were heartbreakers,”
Penn State continued its domi
nation at the outset of the second
half, but the Lady Lions’s attack
stalled when sophomore back Beth
Stokes went down with an arm
injury about 12 minutes into the
period.
“When Beth got injured and
came out of that game the momen
tum really dropped,” Rattray
said. “Not because she was out of
the game, but because when you
take a pause like that from an
injury break you can lose the feel
of the game and I think that is
what happened.”
Stokes said she was too close to
her opponent’s backswing.
“She hit me on the elbow, and I
couldn’t pick up my stick, so I had
to come out of the game,” she
said.
Lock Haven scored its first goal
five minutes later when forward
Doobie Caprio’s shot deflected off
goalie Michele Monahan’s glove.
But the Lady Lions made it 2-1 less
than two minutes later when fresh
man forward Kathy Klein, playing
in place of an injured Alix Hughes,
fired a shot into the left corner of
the Lock Haven goal. Junior link
Chris Vitale got the assist.
“I didn’t even see it go in,” Klein
said. “I saw Chris pass the ball up,
and I went to drive it, and I
thought it hit the goalie or de

when I turned around there was

shoulder two ago. Rose said
Ash won’t even be able to practice for
two-weeks, let alone compete in a
game situation. Her return is not yet
known. Ash’s absence will be hard
felt also, said Rose.
“She’s tough both physically and
emotionally,” said Rose of Ash.
“She’s the type of player I want in my
program. I have all the confidence in
the world that she'll come back
stronger than ever.”
This' week a third player was in
jured and again it was a shoulder
injury. Heidi Pilecki will be out for at
least a week, said Rose.
Rose’s strategy centers on serving
aggressively, and playing good de
fense. He predicts that LSU will be
Penn State’s toughest opponent of the
weekend, with Ohio State second and
Michigan third.
“Michigan will prepare us for Ohio
State, a better team, which will pre
pare us for LSU, the best team of the
three,” he said.
Rose said his starting lineup may
consist of three veterans, senior mid
dle hitter, Marcia Leap, and juniors
setters, Vida Kemich and Ellen
Hensler. Rounding out the lineup are
right side hitter Lisa Leap, left side
hitter Lisa Chidester, and middle
hitter Colleen Cody.

Rose puts all-time hit record in perspective
By JOHN NELSON
AP Sports Writer
CINCINNATI History will be the judge of Pete
Rose.
Only time will lend perspective to his accom
plishments.
“I don’t ever really worry about how people will
remember me,” Rose says. “Some people will
remember my fight with Bud Harrelson (of the
New York Mets in the 1973 playoffs).
“Some people will remember me for running
into Ray Fosse at home plate in the 1970 All-Star
Game.
“Some people will remember me for the paterni
ty suit against me, and some will remember the
divorce.
“That’s why I never worry about that. You can’t
worry about something you can’t control.”
Indeed, historians will keep records of those
occurences intact somewhere in their chronicles of
Pete Rose. But he will be remembered primarily
as the feisty little guy with average talent who
became the game’s most prolific hitmaker.
When he broke Ty Cobb’s mark of 4,191 career
hits Wednesday night in his hometown of Cincin
nati, the Reds’ player-manager ensured that he
would be remembered as the game’s greatest
hitmaker. Rose broke the record with two'hits,
giving him 4,193 in his 23rd major league season.
“It’s one of the game’s better records,” said San
Diego Manager Dick Williams, against whose
team Rose broke the record.
“Some records won’t be reached Cy Young’s
victories (511), Joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak (56
games), Cobb’s lifetime batting average (.367)
and Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games (2,130).
“And now another is added. Rose is 4,193 and
counting.”
Still intent on playing another year while he
manages for the Reds, Rose could end his playing
career with about 4,300 hits, putting the 4,191 hits
of Cobb’s 24-year career well into the shadows of
history.
Although Rose has said he doesn’t believe him
self to be the greatest player in the game, some of
his teammates disagree.
“He is the greatest player in baseball,” says
Reds outfielder Dave Parker, who once during his
career with Pittsburgh proclaimed himself the
best.

It is difficult to imagine anyone ever reaching
Rose’s mark. In order to get 4,200 hits, a player
would have to have 210 hits in each season of a 20-
year career.
“I can’t comprehend 4,000 hits,” Padres right
fielder Tony Gwynn says, ‘‘and I don’t think
anyone else can either.”
Rose holds major league records for most sea
sons, 10, with 200 or more hits, and most consec
utive seasons, 22, with 100 or more hits. With 96
hits after his record-breaking game Wednesday
night, Rose easily will increase the 100-hit record.
Lee Weyer, an umpire since 1962, the year
before Rose broke in with Cincinnati, also was at
third base when Henry Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s

“I talked to Pete about three, four, five years
ago, and I told him I would be behind .the plate
when he broke Cobb’s record,” Weyer said. “It
was a great thrill. It’s a record that will never be
broken.”
In a postgame ceremony at Riverfront Stadium,
Rose received a telephone call from President
Ronald Reagan, who may have some sense of
historical perspective.
“I want to congratulate you for breaking one of
the most enduring records in sports history,” the
President said. “Your record may be broken, but
your reputation and fegacy are secure. It will be a
long time before anyone stands where you stand
now.”
