12—The Daily Collegian Tuesday, Sept. 2;1986
Clinger/Wachob still going strong
By JANE KOPACKI
Collegian Staff Writer
In anticiption of what may be one of the most
contested races of the nation's 1986 congressional
election, the summer has not been a vacation for
either Pennsylvania Democratic candidate Wil
liam Wachob or Republican incumbent William
Clinger.
The Clinger/Wachob rematch for the U.S. House
seat in the 23rd district has been targeted by the
Democratic Congressional Committee for an Ef
fective Congress as one of the top five races in the
country, said Clinger's campaign manager, Jim
Clark.
The 23rd district includes Centre County and
stretches across 10 central and western Pennsyl
vania counties.
Wachob, a former state representative, first
presented a challenge to Clinger in the 1984 cam
paign, when he came within 6,000 votes of defeat
ing Clinger. Clinger, who has served in the House
since 1978, said the much-awaited 1986 campaign
has been heating up over the last months.
The candidates agree that employment opportu
nities are an important issue in both this campaign
and Pennsylvania
"Although State College is an oasis in the state
as far as jobs are concerned, the importance of
this campaign is to find out who will be more
effective in developing a program to aid the
problem across the state," Clinger said.
One of Wachob's proposals for economic revita
lization in the district includes a national devel
opment investment bank. He said the bank would
provide federal financial assistance through low
interest loans. Wachob said the $5 billion proposal
would include a program to rebuild roads, sewers
and bridges as needed to improve the state's
infrastructure.
"The program is solid for the future," Wachob
said, adding that a job program involved in the
improvements would aid Pennsylvania's employ
ment problem
Clinger said the program will produce only

short-term solutions for a long-term problem. The
increased employment produced by his proposed
program would mainly be construction jobs that
will fade away once the work is finished, he said.
"Congiess cannot afford a new $5 billion pro
gram that does not address the problem at hand,"
Clinger said. "Our main objective is to create
long-term private-sector jobs."
Clinger's record with the Economic Devel
opment Administration and industrial incubation
program has been very positive, he said. The
industrial program revitalizes old factories to
promote the development of new smaller business
es, Clinger said. He said statistics show that 85
percent of new jobs nationally are developed
through small businesses rather than investing
and expanding old industries.
Established industries, such as Pennsylvania's
timber market, are the focus of another of Cling
er's programs. He said the program generates
jobs by keeping the state's resources within the
state.
Clinger said the timber industry, for example,
exports jobs by sending timber , to other states for
processing. With a $4OO million private investment
in a new plant, he said, more than 400 long-term
jobs were created.
Clinger said he is aware of student concerns and
has established a solid record by supporting main
tenance of funding for education, especially in a
district centered around the University. He said he
voted to budget $l4B million for Pell grants.
"I am a fiscal conservative. I believe in invest
ing for the future through education," Clinger
said, adding that the Gramm-Rudman budget act
has forced Congress to get t erious about its priori
ties.
In an effort to promote economic growth and
revitalization in the 23rd district, Wachob said, one
person can make a difference. He said the district
is lagging too far behind the country's averages in
federal and defense spending per capita.
"Hundreds of congressmen in this country are
doing a better job than Mr. Clinger at bringing
federal funds to their districts," Wachob said.

"Mr. Clinger has not brought home the bacon and
has not even turned on the skillet yet."
According to U.S. Bureau of the Census statis
tics, the 23rd District receives only 70 percent of
the national average of federal spending. The
bureau's 1985 "Consolidated Federal Funds Re
port" averages defense spending for the district to
$l7O per person compared to the national average
of $960 per person each year
"The liberal Democrats think that pumping
money into a district is the answer to everything,"
Clinger said. "It is a naive attitude."
Clinger said the economic development funding
and aid to senior citizens through various pro
grams in the district are high above the national
averages. Economic development is 137 percent
over that average,• he said. _ .
Wachob charged that Clinger has proved to be
an "ineffective member of Congress who won't
plunge in full steam ahead for what is needed in
this district."
"We deserve our fair share of federal spending.
We need someone who is wiling to stand up for the
needs and concerns of the district," Wachob said.
He said Clinger saw the trends of federal spend
ing shifting toward increased defense spending but
allowed the defense contracts to be lost to the
country's Sun Belt. Clinger neglected to challenge
the trends to support and aid the already estab
lished industries of Pennsylvania, Wachob said.
Clinger referred to Wachob as a "free-spending
liberal who believes in policies that have led this
country to the brink of federal disaster."
He said the bigger problem in Pennsylvania is
the national deficit that has produced a "spotty"
economy across the state. Clinger added that the
low inflation and interest rates the state is enjoy
ing now would be lost to higher rates and unem
ployment if Congress does not crack down on
spending.
Wachob said the district needs someone who will
challenge the system because the citizens have
waited far too long already. He said the people are
fed up with the lack of leadership and neglect.

Booters open season with 1-1
By STACEY JACOBSON
Collegian Sports Writer
The soccer team rebounded from a
sluggish first half last night to tie
Navy 1-1 in its first game of the 1986
season.
With 10 minutes remaining in the
second period, freshman forward Jan
Skorpen collected a pass from Jay
Ruby and deposited it behind Navy
goaltender Harry Schmidt to even the
score.
The Lions had two more scoring
opportunities before time expired but
neither one , found its mark. Skorpen
had one shot blocked by Midshipman
Mike Florence and senior Steve Pot
ter's. attempt was rejected by
Schmidt.
Penn State worked the ball well in
overtime but after 20 minutes of extra
play neither tejim was able to break
the 1-1 deadlock.
The Midshipmen started the game
with an aggressive attack on the
Lions' left side allowing their right
midfielders to work the ball. That
strategy .paid off approximately 22
minutes into the first period, when
senior Tony Fernandes scored an
unassisted goal to put the Midship
men in front 1-0. Fernandes blasted
the ball into the upper left hand
corner of the goal from 35 yards out.
A disjointed Penn State team held
on defensively through much of the
first half but was unable to coordinate
any serious offensive action.
"(Navy)•came out with a different
formation than we expected and we
just didn't adjust quickly enough,"
Lion Head Coach Walter Bahr said.
According to senior defenseman
Simon Eccles, the Lions also had a
problem with a lack of communica
tion.
"We just didn't gel at first," Eccles
said. "There was no coordination
between us (defense) and the guys up
front."
In the second half, the Lions read
justed their midfielders and used
their skills to squash the aggressive
attack of the Navy team which re
, mained falsely content with a 1-0
4 lead.

Pitt falls to Terps
in Gottfried's debut
By ALAN ROBINSON
AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH The coach was
new, the strategy was different but
the result was disappointingly
iar for the University of Pittsburgh.
The Panthers, debuting under new
Coach Mike Gottfried, choked on
their own mistakes and a disastrous
kicking game last night to lose to
Maryland 10-7 on Dan Plocki's 29-
,i yard field goal with 2:10 to play.
Pitt, a winner only eight times in
former Coach Foge Fazio's final 25
games, has shifted its offensive em
phasis from running to passing under
Gottfried.
But the Panthers, constantly pres
sured into mistakes by a physical
Maryland defense, could reach th,?.
I scoreboard only once although fifth
year senior quarterback John Con
gemi completed 23 of 45 passes for 258
yards.
"This was a real gutty perfor-
mance," said Maryland Coach Bobby
; Ross, whose team was part of several
investigations after the drug-related
death of former Maryland basketball
All-American Len Bias in June.
.1 "It's been a long, long summer.
We've had a lot of adversity within
•
the university . . . so it was great to
win this one," Ross said.
Both teams failed to score in the
first half as Pitt kicker Mark Brasco
missed three field goals.
"I felt we dominated the whole
game," Congemi said. "We did ev-
erything we wanted to do on offense
but get the ball in the end zone. It was
a tough loss."
Maryland's defense throttled Pitt's
running game, limiting the Panthers
to 89 yards on 30 carries as junior
tailback Charles Gladman was lim
' ited to 24 yards on 10 carries. Glad
,:.man ran for more than 1,000 yards as
a sophomore.
"You have to give Maryland cred
it," Gottfried said. "They have an
awfully tough defense and they kept
us off the scorebard for most of the
game. They're strong, physical and
tough to run against."
Maryland'S defense forced a crit-
ical Pitt fumble late in the third
quarter that the Terps turned into
• their only touchdown, then turned
back the Panthers again in the
game's final minute after Pitt had
driven to the Terps' 29.
• Congemi was dropped for a nine-
yard loss on a third-down play before
j being pressured into a fourth-down
incompletion that turned the ball
! back over the Terps, who then ran out
the final few seconds.
"It's a great start for us with a
John Skorpen (10) made an impressive debut with the Lions as he scored the tying goal against Navy last night
ball handling skills," Penn State As
sistant Coach Barry Gorman said,
"so, in the second half we picked up
the slack and added pressure and
opened up some opportunities for
ourselves."
At halftime, the Bill Jeffrey Award
for the Most Valuable Player in the
1985 season was presented to Kevin
Jennings, a four-year letter winner
for the Lions.
Overall, members of the team
seemed pleased with the result of the
great deal of meaning," Ross said.
"It helps our confidence. Defensive
ly, we had it, but offensively we're
young." ~
The loss continued a string of frus
tration for Gottfried, who also failed
to win in his first game in three
previous coaching assignments.
Congemi, contained for 3 1 / 2 quar
ters by a big-play Maryland defense,
rifled a 32-yard scoring pass to Reg
gie Williams on a second-and-15 play
with 5:12 to go to rally Pitt to a 7-7 tie.
Pitt had failed to score in the first
half despite a 13 1 / 2 -minute edge in
time of possession, as Brasco missed
field goal attempts of 41, 29 and 53
yards.
Tommy Neal, who had given
Maryland a 7-0 lead with a one-yard
scoring dive midway through the
third quarter, had runs of 14 and five
yards, and Dan Henning hit Ferrell
Edmunds for 13 yards and Azizuddin
Abdur-Ra'oof for 15 to set up Plocki's
winning kick. .
Maryland's first score came after a
turnover.
Gladman fumbled at the end of a 32-
yard pass play when he was drilled by
safety James Brown, and linebacker
O'Brien Alston recovering at the
Maryland 45.
The officials had initially ruled that
Gladman was down before fumbling,
but reversed their ruling after a con
ference.
Henning, playing his first game as
a college quarterback, hooked up
with Vernon Joines on a 24-yard com
pletion on a third-and-6 play to the
Pitt one. Neal leaped into the end
zone two plays later, with 2:15 to play
in the third quarter.
Pittsburgh drove to the Maryland
24 on its first possession. Gottfried
elected not to try for a first down on a
fourth-and-1 play, but Brasco's 41-
yard field goal try was wide to the
left.
After an interception by Quintin
Jones at the Terps' 41, Pitt marched
to the Maryland 12 with 1:19 to play in
the half. But Brasco, who missed nine
of 15 field goal tries as a sophomore,
was wide right on a 29-yard attempt.
Brasco's 53-yard miss came with
four seconds left in the half.
Maryland, 9-3 last season, failed to
get a first down in the second quarter
and crossed midfield only once in the
first half.
The Terps' first scoring chance
came in the third period after a 41-
yard Henning-to-John Bonato com
pletion that gave Maryland a first
down at the Pitt 24. But 'lenning

tackle Lorenzo Freeman, who recov

mance of newcomers Jan Skorpen
and Kamel Haddad.
"I was happy with the game,"
senior Troy Snyder said. "We played
well."
"The entire freshmen squad has a

asset," he added.
In addition to scoring the only Penn
State goal, Skorpen, a native of Nor

Penn State's Miriam Geller (28) drives the ball past a Purdue opponent in
Sunday's season opener. The Lady Lions clobbered Purdue 5-1. On Satur-
Stickwomen victorious in opener
By ROBERT WILLIAMS
Collegian Sports Writer
The field hockey team had a busy weekend as it
defeated Purdue 5-1 in its regular season home
opener less than 24 hours after hosting the Lady
Lion Invitational.
While Penn State could muster only three goals
in Saturday's exhibition contests, Sunday's victo
ry the Lady Lions' 16th straight at home saw
the offense really come to life.
Penn State looked as if it might be in for a long
afternoon when Purdue took a 1-0 lead five
minutes into the game and then continued to keep
the Lady Lions off balance throughout the first 10
minutes.
Penn State Head Coach Gillian Rattray attrib
uted the team's slow start to Purdue's different
style of play.
"(Purdue) has a very different system from
anyone we've ever played," Rattray said. "They
were doing a lot of cutting. It wasn't that one of
our defenders could stay on one of their offensive
players all the time, because they were con
stantly switching places, and it took us awhile to
settle."
Penn State began pressuring the Lady Boiler
makers until it got the break it needed. At the
11:50 mark of the first half, Purdue goalkeeper
Haddad, a left side midfielder, is a
walk-on player from Tunisia.
"He just came out of the woodwork,
and he was substituted in and played
a very good game," Bahr said.
Last night's game may be instru
mental in helping. Bahr to decide
which players will replace the five
missing starters from last year's
squad.
According to Bahr, the team's per
formance ,was just as he had antic
ipated.

Susan Fleet fell to the ground and covered the
ball without making an attempt to clear it.
Consequently, the officials awarded the Lady
Lions a penalty stroke, which sophomore mid
fielder Tami Worley converted to tie the game 1-
1.
Rattray pointed out the importance of the
penalty stroke goal
"It was good that we got that goal because it
always makes the goaltender just a little down,"
Rattray said. "Then you can really pressure the
goalie which we did."
And the Penn State pressure paid off.
The Lady Lions got a lead they wouldn't
relinquish when junior fullback Beth Stokes
rifled a shot from about 30 yards out that bounced
past Fleet at 24:27 of the first half.
Penn State added to its lead when senior
midfielder Mary McCarthy took the ball at
midfield, beat several defenders en route to the
goal, and slapped another shot past Fleet at
26:56.
Sophomore Tracey Neave then stole the spot
light as she showed the same form that she
displayed during the 1984 campaign in which she
tied the school record for most goals by a
freshman (14).

Worley to up the halftime score to 4-1. She then

Skorpen makes impact
as Lions open season
By CHRISTINE BORN
Collegian Sports Writer
The soccer team may have opened
its 1986 season without the leading
goal scorer of the last two years, but
while Tom Greve may not have been
there physically, his influence was
still strongly felt.
Thanks to an old friendship, Greve
was able to influence fellow country
man Jan Skorpen to attend Penn
State. And Greve's recruiting efforts
may play a major part in the soccer
team's future.
Skorpen, a freshman from Erdal,
Norway, was impressed with his
Norwegian friend's praise of the
Penn State soccer program. Lion
soccer fans were equally impressed
with his debut in the Lion lineup. •
Down 1-0 with 10:25 remaining in
the game, Skorpen took a pass from
Jay Ruby and drilled it past the Navy
goalkeeper for the tying goal.
Lion Head Coach Walter Bahr said
Skorpen's goal was good and he was
pleased with the freshman's game.
Assistant Coach Barry Gorman
said Skorpen did very well for the
first game.
"Jan is a good player coming out of
Norway," Gorman said. "He is an
excellent player in the box, but we
have to get more service to him and
closer to him. He was taking shots
and following up on others, sort of
looking for crumbs and garbage."
The forward was also happy with
his play, despite coming up short of a
win.
"Of course we wanted to win the
first game," Skorpen said. "But over
all I'm pleased personally with the
way I played, for the first game."
Defenseman Simon Eccles said
Skorpen had a good start as a forward
and that should boost his confidence.
day, Penn State played two exhibition games, defeating Lehigh 2.0 and tying
Ursinus 1.1 in the Lady Lion invitational.
The Daily Collegian
Tuesday, Sept. 2, 1986
"Jan scoring a goal for us is a good
start for him," Eccles said. "And
scoring a goal like that (to tie the
game) is a good way to start and give
him a lot more confidence to shoot
more. He's also getting into position,
which is good."
Skorpen said it is hard to break into
a new lineup, but he is beginning to
adjust.
"Every practice and every game is
getting better," he said. "As I get
used to playing with new people, as I
am new to them, things will im
prove."
At least playing in the United States
is not one of the things that Skocpen
will have to adjust to. He played the
1985 season with Orford High School
in Orford, N.H., and set a scoring
record of 54 goals and 45 assists in 16
games.
After finishing high school, Skorpen
returned to Norway and played third
division soccer with the Varegg ama
teur team before coming to Penn
State.
Skorpen's decision to play soccer in
State College came at a good time.
After losing five starters from last
year's squad, Bahr not only had to
look to his returning second stringers
but also to his freshman class.
Along with Skorpen, Penn State has
five freshman who have shown prom
ise. The 1986 class includes Doug
Smith from Cochranville, Peter Dai
gle, a Pittsburgh native, Ted Gillen
from Toms River, N.J., Steve Frantz
of Richland, and Antwi Akom from
State College.
Walk-on Kamel Haddad has also
been added to the Lions' roster. The
Tunisia native started the second half
at midfield and received praise from
starting midfielder Troy Snyder.
"Hammel comes in at midfield and
he did a great job for us tonight," he
said.
closed out the game scoring 1:32 into the second
half when she picked up her own rebound and
rifled it into the empty side of the goal.
Worley, who ended the day with a goal and an
assist, was pleased with her team's performance
in the first game of the Lady Lions' 23rd varsity
field hockey season
"I think everyone is doing well," Worley said.
"I think we've progressed a lot since preseason
and today's game went well."
Neave felt that Saturday's exhibitions, which
saw the Lady Lions defeat Lehigh 2-0 and tie
Ursinus 1-1, played an important role in prepar
ing the squad for Sunday's opener.
"(Saturday) was the first time we played
together against another team," Neave said. "So
we needed that for (Sunday). It was a good
warmup."
Penn State, led by junior fullback Miriam
Geller's goal and assist, controlled the game
against Lehigh, allowing the Lady Engineers
only four shots all outside the circle
throughout the game.
The Lady Lions also owned much of Saturday's
second contest, in which they rarely let Ursinus
out of its half of the field. However, Penn State
had to settle for a come-from-behind • tie, as
junior forward Diane Schleicher deadlocked the
game with 10 minutes remaining.
