Mets crush Red Sox, 6-2, to even Series By JOHN NELSON AP Baseball Writer BOSTON The New York Mets are back in the swing of things. With Gary Carter slugging two home runs and Len Dykstra one, the Mets continued their assault bn Fenway Park and beat the Boston Red Sox 6-2 last night in Game 4 of the World Series to pull even at two games apiece. “The only thing on my mind now is getting that World Series ring,” Carter said. “I’m glad where we are right now.” The Mets had 12 hits, including two dou bles, and now have scored 13 runs on 25 hits in the two games at Boston. They scored only three- runs on 12 hits in losing the first two games in New York. Carter hit two homers over the 37-foot high wall in left field, the infamous Green Monster, to drive in three runs and Dykstra hit his second homer in two nights for two more runs. Ron Darling worked seven scoreless in nings on three days’ rest to beat A 1 Nipper, who hadn’t worked in 17 days. Darling gave up just four hits and held the Red Sox scoreless despite giving up six walks. He stranded nine runners. Darling pitched seven innings in losing the first game 1-0 on an unearned run. “I was hoping I could go nine innings,” said Darling,*who went to high school in nearby Worcester, Mass. “But with all the walks, seven was enough. Stickwomen By ROBERT WILLIAMS Collegian Sports Writer Christmas is still two months away, but the sixth-ranked field hockey team has found itself in a position that it doesn’t especially like that of NCAA-field-hockey-rankings Santa Claus. But starting this afternoon, when the squad hosts Ursinus in a 2:30 contest at Lady Lion Field, the Lady Lions will be looking to be more frugal when it comes to handing out Top 10 invitatons. Ursinus is currently unranked. However, if the recent past is any indication, a strong Bears’ showing could change that very quickly. Two weeks ago, an unranked Rutgers squad tied the Lady Lions 1-1 and vaulted into the Top 10. And Sunday then-14th-ranked Pennsylvania upset Penn State 3-2 and jumped to No. 8 in the most recent poll. “We call ourselves the goodwill, team,” Head Coach Gillian Rattray said. “Everytime we lose to someone, they immediately appear very high in the poll.” Ursinus and Penn State met in an exhibition contest in August’s Lady Lion Invitational. In that contest Junior forward Diane Schleicher salvaged a 1-1 comeback tie for the Lady Lions when she scored with 10 minutes remaining in the game. But that was an exhibiton contest. And 16 games, 11 wins, and a No. 6 national ranking later, Penn State has reached a level where it shouldn’t need any late game heroics against Ursinus (7-5) this time around. Rattray knows this, but nonetheless she is taking nothing for granted. “Heel that (the game) is one that on paper we obviously should win,” she said. “But games aren’t won on paper.” “For purposes of this game we should ignore the win-loss records because they’re tough and they play us tough.” Penn State is-undefeated (9-0-1) in its last 10 contests with Ursinus, but the Lady Lions have been involved in many close, low scoring games with the Bears. Last year Penn State escaped with a 1-0 victory at Ursinus. Rattray said that if her team is to dominate the game, the team will have to to exert itself as it would against any highly-touted squad. “We play them very evenly,” Rattray said. “We’ve got to put something extra out tomorrow to be able to dominate the game. It’s not just going to be a given, but I know we can do it.” Both squads are blessed with big guns on offense and exceptional goaltending'. Jill Johnson (10 goals, six assists) is the workhorse of the Bears’ - l iW iiisijL,. “It meant a lot to win here,” said Darling, who was in the stands as a spectator in Boston the last time the Red Sox were in the World Series in 1975. “I got to pitch in front of all my friends, and I only allowed one ball off the wall.” Red Sox right fielder Dwight Evans took away a homer by Darryl Strawberry in the sixth inning, but then let Dykstra’s'seventh inning homer hit off his glove and drop into the Mets bullpen for a 5-0 lead. While the Mets appear to have broken out of their doldrums, the Red Sox now are struggling. Wade Boggs, the American League’s leading hitter, went 0-for-5, strand . ing five runners. He made the final out of the eighth inning, ending a two-run rally. “Of course,“l’m concerned,” said Red Sox Manager John McNamara, “but what can I do about it? Darling started off shaky with some walks, and Gedman doubled in the second inning, but we couldn’t score. We couldn’t get the basehit when we needed it.” Carter’s first homer, with a man on, opened the scoring as the Mets took a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning against Nipper. The Mets catch er closed New York’s scoring with a solo homer over the screen above the left-field wall in the eighth off reliever Steve Crawford. It was Carter’s seventh RBI in the Series. Dykstra’s two-run homer in the seventh off Crawford as the Mets continued their offen sive resurgence. The Mets won Game 3, 7-1. Dykstra’s homer, a two-out shot, tipped off the glove of Evans and fell into the Mets bullpen. test frugality vs. Ursinus to s>. • iVf ■ *• Tracy Neave, the leading scorer for the women’s field hockey team, will lead the Lady Lions against Ursinus today at 2:30 p.m. at Lady Lion field. offense, while sophomore forward Tracey Neave (12 goals, three assists) is the Lady Lions’ main scoring threat. But Johnson, Neave and the other players on both squads shouldn’t receive any gift goals today. Penn State senior netminder Michele Monahan (1.2 goals against average, six shutouts) and Ursinus goaltender Mia Fields (1.58 goals against average, two shutouts) will see to that. “She’s a very good goalie,” Rattray said of Fields. "You can’t shoot at her. She’s a strong goalie, and you really have to move her out of positioh and get her on the move laterally to get the ball by her.” Today’s game will carry added importance for the Lady Lions, as Ursinus is in Penn State’s NCAA Mideast Region, and the top rated team in ■ ■ t ■ ' ■•■■■ Roger McDowell, who pitched two perfect innings to close the Mets’ victory in Game 3, gave up two runs in the eighth and needed relief from Jesse Orosco. Orosco got the last out of the eighth with two runners on, and then closed out the Red Sox in the ninth. The victory ensured at least a Game 6, giving the Mets the opportunity to bring the Series back to Shea Stadium. R was news that could have been greeted with mixed emo tions. The Mets lost the first two games at home, then won two at Fenway Park. It was the first time since 1923 that visiting teams have won the first four games. The only other time was in 1906. Dwight Gooden, 17-6, who lost Game 2, was scheduled to start for the Mets in Game 5 tonight against Bruce Hurst, 13-8, who worked eight scoreless innings as the winner in Game 1. Darling was not perfect, coming back for the first time this season on such short notice. Nipper, who allowed seven hits in six in nings, came into the game with a 10-12 record and an ERA of 5.38 during the season, the highest of any World Series starter since 1947. That’s when Hal Gregg of Brooklyn brought a 5.87 ERA into Game 7 against the New York Yankees and got knocked out in the fourth inning. Nipper, left out of the Red Sox’s postseason pitching rotation until it became clear that both Hurst and Roger Clemens needed more rest, hadn’t started a game since Oct. 4, the next-to-last day of the season. Calling himself the “Unknown Pitcher,” he was glad for this the region will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs. However, Neave said her squad doesn’t feel added pressure to win these games in the region, but rather that it approaches all games in a similar manner. “We just go into (the game) with the attitude ' like every other game,” Neave said. “You can’t really have another attitude.” Both Rattray and Neave agreed that the game will be an important momentum-setter for the rest of the season. “This will really be a good one for us to re group,” Rattray said. “We’re back on our home field and back on grass.” “It’s extremely important (to win today),” Neave added. “We’ve got to really win the next five games heading into the playoffs.” chance. He had only one bad innings, and it was decisive. Wally Backman led off the New York fourth inning with a single to center, the ball bouncing off the mound and just below Nip per’s glove. Then, with Keith Hernandez at bat, the Mets tried a hit-and-run at the same time the Red Sox tried a pitchout. With Backman running, Hernandez reached for a pitch at least a foot outside, threw his bat at it and hit the ball toward shortstop Spike Owen, whose only play was to first. Carter, who had 24 homers and 105 RBI during the season but struggled through a 4- for-27 playoff slump, hit the next pitch from Nipper for his first postseason homer. The ball landed in the screen above Green Monster in left-center field. The Mets were not finished in the inning, though. Also swinging at the first pitch, Darryl Strawberry poked a ball into the left field corner for a double, only his second hit in 11 Series at-bats, and Ray Knight drove him in with his second single of the game, giving the Mets a 3-0 lead. It was the only time the Mets broke through against Nipper. Darling sputtered early, got on track, then needed a jump start in the fifth. The Red Sox loaded the bases with two out in the first inning, aided by two Darling walks, but came up empty when Evans grounded into a forceout at second. Gedman led off the second inning with a double, but Collegian Pholo I Dan Oleskl Bias' teammates warned of danger BALTIMORE (AP) Two Uni versity of Maryland basketball players reportedly told a grand jury investigating the death of Len Bias that they warned the basket ball star to be careful while snort ing cocaine several hours before he died. Terry Long and David Gregg also testified before a Prince George’s County grand jury last week that Brian Lee Tribble pos sessed the cocaine that killed the star player, the Baltimore Sun reported yesterday. , Long and Gregg, suitemates and teammates of Bias, also told the panel that Bias, regarded by his fans as a notably clean-living young man, had tried cocaine “six or seven times” before the morn ing he died of cocaine intoxication, sources told the newspaper. Tribble, Gregg and Long were with Bias when he collapsed in his dormitory room early in the morn ing of June 19. Bias died later at a hospital of cocaine intoxication. Long and Gregg were indicted by the grand jury in July on charges of cocaine possession and obstruc tion of justice, but those charges were dropped Monday following Thursday’s grand jury testimony. The grand jury indicted Tribble in July on charges of cocaine dis tribution, cocaine possession with intent to distribute, cocaine pos session and PCP possession. Gregg and Long told the panel that Tribble, 24, made a remark 4 indicating he had what amounted to “half a coffee cup” of cocaine, according to the source. The pair said all four individuals spent hours snorting the drug before Bias collapsed just after 6 a.m. “They said Tribble said some thing about it was his last quantity before he got more stuff in, that he said he was scraping the bottom of The Daily Collegian Thursday, Oct. 23, 1986 Darling shut the door again. He struck out Dave Henderson, got Spike Owen on a grounder that sent Gedman to third and ended the inning by getting Wade Boggs on a rare popout. He retired 10 straight until he walked Owen with one out in the fifth. Boggs flied out high and deep to center field for the second out, and, when Barrett singled on a 3-2 pitch with Owen running, the Red Sox had runners at first and third with two out. Darling, howev er, got Bill Buckner to bloop out to second to end the inning. Already having lost several, good scoring opportunities, the Red Sox lost another chance in the sixth after Evans walked on four pitches with two out. Gedman then lined a shot off the wall in left field. Mookie Wilson played the ball off the wall on one hop and threw to second, nailing Gedman at second by several feet as Evans stood helpless at third. The Mets had chances to add to the lead but couldn’t until the seventh inning. They were thwarted in the sixth when Jim Rice threw out Carter at the plate trying to score on a line drive out. The Red Sox jumped on McDowell opening the eighth when Rice opened with a double. After Don Baylor hit a soft liner to short, Evans singled home Rice. Gedman singled Evans to third and Henderson hit a sacrifice fly. Pinch-hitter Mike Greenwell walked but Orosco took over and got Boggs to ground out. Boggs, the leading hitter in the American League, went 0-for-5. Len Bias the bowl,” one source told The Sun. The source said Gregg and Long told the grand jury they were awakened early in the morning of June 19 by Bias and Tribble, the basketball star’s friend and a for mer Maryland student. A large mound of cocaine had been poured onto a mirror on a table in the center of the dormitory suite the players shared, they said. For the next several hours, the players testified, the four sat around the table, talked and snorted cocaine directly from the pile. “They said they each did maybe 15 or 20 lines, but that towards the end, Bias started doing more,” the source said. The others “jokingly warned” Bias to cut down on his intake, but Gregg and Long testified that “he said he could handle it,” the source told The Sun. Sources said Long and Gregg could not testify for certain wheth er Tribble brought the cocaine into the room, but that Tribble implied it was his. AP Lassrphotos Prey a natural for By MARK WOGENRICH Collegian Sports Writer Note to Hollywood producers: If you are currently casting a wom en’s cross country version of the movie “The Natural,” look no fur ther. For at Penn State you will find the perfect leading-lady, Stacy Prey. You won’t even need a stunt double. Prey, a sprightly 19-year-old sophomore, commands attention on the track like virtually no other. Last year she earned All-America honors by placing 23rd in the NCAA Championships and scooping up second-place in the NCAA Region II meet. She also clocked the sec ond-fastest time (16:44.9) in Penn State history on the University’s 5000-meter track. All that as a freshman; all that with just two years experience under her belt. “It’s incredible what (Prey) can do, considering she has only been running competitively for two years,” said Head Coach Teri Jor dan. “She has an amazing amount of pure, natural ability to run cross country.” Prey began her cross country career in her senior year at Brigh ton High School in Rochester, N.Y., where she and her team won the state championship in 1984. After playing soccer and running track for three years, it was a very transitory period iri her life, but Prey said the change wasn’t all that difficult.' “In my senior year I decided that running was a very important part of my life, so I decided to run cross country,” Prey said. “Even though I had never actually raced before, I found the transition relatively smooth.” Prey’s talents did not go unno ticed in high school, considering she was courted by many top cross country schools (Penn State, Villa nova and Virginia among others). But Prey said she chose to be a Lady Lion fairly early. “Each school had things I liked, but Penn State was the school with the most things that I liked,” Prey said. “The team had a good reputa tion, a good coach and a really closely knit team. Plus (the school) also had a good reputation for academics and I really liked the environment.” Once she got to Penn State, Prey pretty much took over as a team leader, although she does not see herself filling that role. “I don’t consider myself to be a team leader, but I do like to help everyone as much as I can,” she said. “I think we are a team first, and that is the major factor in our success.” Prey may not consider herself a team leader, but others do. “She carries the team in a good way,” Jordan said. “She makes practices and meets fun for all the girls.” ' Teammate Amy Aston says Prey For one week only, order and save on the gold ring of your choice.

She works hard and encourages the rest of us to do the same. We can set goals by her successes.” So far in her sophomore season, Prey has continued her top form by winning the Rutgers Invitational, but was sidelined for two meets with an injury to her right quadri cep muscle. Needless to say, the injury was disappointing. “The injury was hard to take,” Prey confessed. “It was very frus trating, but the only thing I could do was to take it one day at a time and try to get back in shape as quickly as possible.” Prey has now worked her way back into condition by working with Nautilus as well as swimming and riding a stationary bike “I hated that!” she said.

Mention the future to Prey, em phasizing the word Olympics, and a sparkle comes to her eyes. But she is reluctant to make any pre dictions. “Right now the Olympics are more of a dream,” Prey said. “Af ter graduation I want to do some road racing, and if the Olympics are there, then I will certainly give it a try.” l l avni*-ni puns jL-diU!i|»- j VISA t. r*V. If. Ultimate team hosts tournament By DANA PENNETT Collegian Staff Writer “Everyone likes a little publicity,” said Bruce Lord, advisor of the Ulti mate Frisbee Club. But, sad to say, publicity is not always easy to come by. The club is hoping to change that, though, as it hosts a tournament at the Pollock fields this weekend. The club plays a 12-week schedule and travels across the United States, but judging by the crowd size at its home tournaments, few people at Penn State are aware of the club’s presence. This lack of recognition, however, is not because the club or the sport is boring. The club has compiled an 11-11 record, placing it fourth in the Mid Atlantic Region of the Ultimate Play ers Association, and giving it a good standing for the sectional playoffs which begin next month. Tide favored to beat Lions By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Football Writer It rarely snows in Tuscaloosa, Ala., but a few flakes alias snow jobs were sighted this week. Tuscaloosa is the site of Bryant-Denny Stadium where second-ranked Alabama (7-0) tangles with No. 6 Penn State (6-0) on Saturday and where never is heard a discouraging word that might find its way onto Penn State's bulletin board: For example: • Alabama linebacker Vantriese Davis: “It’s a per sonal challenge for me to go up against a great back like D. J. Dozier because ever since I was in high school he was one of the running backs I admired the most.” • Alabama defensive tackle Derrick Slaughter: “I look at their fullback, Steve Smith, like a small ‘Refriger ator’ type of guy. He’s got speed and he’s big.” • Alabama fullback Kerry Goode: “The Penn State teams I have played in the past haven’t been as sound as this year’s team ” Both teams enjoyed surprisingly easy tuneups last week, Alabama thrashing Tennessee 56-28 and Penn State pounding Syracuse 42-3.

College live. V 2 Block from the Comer Room Although the members of the club would like to be recognized for their accomplishments, they are satisfied with their present situation. This could, in part, be due to the general casual nature of the game “It’s a very laid-back sport,” said Chris Carson, captian of the team.“lt requires skill, but there really isn’t much pressure.” Club president Joe Keffer agrees. “Ultimate Frisbee provides the se rious competition (of other sports) without the added pressure,” he said. Since the club has no coach, each of the players has a chance to pitch in and do a little coaching, which adds to the club’s informal attitude. This underscores what is perhaps the best aspect of the Ultimate Fris bee Club: the involvement of all of the members. “Since there are no officials, indi vidual players call the fouls,” Keffer said. ft f'i hi Open Dolly 9:30-6:00 Thurs & Fri till 9:00 Sat 9:30-6:00 Sun 11:00-4:00 The Daily Collegian Thursday.

In addition, the tour naments are arranged by the com bined efforts of Lord and Kcffer; allowing for a very informal atmo sphere. Many times, Keffcr said, the tournaments are too crowded for all team members to be able to live with the host team, so the team will bring tents and camp out for the entire weekend. Since, as Carson said,“the goal of Ultimate is to promote the sport across the country,” fan support and recognition are always helpful for a little motivation. While this week’s tournament should prove exciting for the team, team members feel it’s the perfect opportunity for fans to recognize a casual but competitive sport while lending a voice to make Penn State first not only among varsity sports, but among club sports as well.
