Varsity

Collegian Sports Writer
Fifty-three club sports. Twenty
eight varsity sports. Why does only
.one of these, the one played on
Saturday afternoons at Beaver Sta
dium, get all the attention and the
glory? Maybe because it earns sev
eral hundred-thousand dollars dur
ing a single home game. _
That one sport is football, and
although it does bring a lot of atten
tion and revenue to Penn State,
some people can't understand why
so much attention is focused on
varsity sports in general and foot
ball in particular.
One such person is Vance McCul
lough, coordinator for club sports.
To McCullough, club sports are
just as important as varsity sports. .
As he explained, the students in
volved in club sports are only in the
program "for their desire to partic
ipate in a particular sport."
McCullough said there are two
different levels of club sports. The
first is comprised of athletes who
are primarily interested in getting
together and playing for fun of it,
such as the ballroom dance club.
The other level is a lot like varsi
ty, he said, except teams don't have
a paid coaching staff. McCullough
said that these clubs, which include
hockey and women's soccer, have
"excellent athletes and some have
won a number of national
championships."
But along with the "club" label
come certain drawbacks.
In some cases, including women's
soccer, the teams are prevented
from going to post-season play.
The biggest drawback, however,
is financial. McCullough said the
University does support club sports
but to a much lesser degree than if
the team had varsity status.
Club sport status has other neg
ative implications. Some varsity
teams won't play against clubs,
even if they are on the same playing
level.
That means it is tougher to at
tract players to a club sport be
cause they know there will not be as
many opportunities to play the

Sacked:
Krieg falls from a starter to the bench
By JIM COUR
AP Sports Writer
SEATTLE In less than two
years, quarterback Dave Krieg of the
Seattle Seahawks has gone from the
Pro Bowl to the bench.
His future in professional football is
uncertain.
Seahawks' Coach Chuck Knox re
placed Krieg with second-year pro
Gale Gilbert last week and Krieg
watched from the sidelines last Sun
day as the New York Jets beat his
team 38-7.
Gilbert figures to be the Seahawks'
starting quarterback for the remain
der of the season.
The situation bears a striking re
semblance to what happened midway
through the 1983 season when Knox
replaced Jini Zorn with Krieg as the
Seahawks' starting quarterback.
Zorn never regained his former role.
A similar fate could be in store for

Fencers
begin with
big wins
By JOSEPH HAAS
Collegian Sports Writer
The men's and women's fencing
teams got off to positive starts last
weekend with many individual suc
cesses at the Temple Open in Phila
delphia.
Last season, the men's team fin
ished No. 3 in the nation, and fencer
Adam Feldman was the individual
national champion in men's foil. The
women's team finished No. 10 in the
nation.
Both teams hope to improve on
those marks this yedr, and were
looking to the Temple meet to sharp
, en •their skills and examine the tal
ents of the teams' new fencers,
• accoring to Head Coach Emmanuil
Kaidanov.
" I was very pleased with the
results in the competition," .he said,
"especially with the performance of
our leaders and some new fencers."
The team had its best success over
the weekend in the men's foil, where
John Orvos finished first in a field of
78. Orvos was followed by Feldman,
who ended up fourth. Matt Glick
finished seventh, Jason Krasowitz
finished ninth, Moby Childs was 10th,
Brad Cellier was 12th and Michael
Fischer came in 13th.
In men's epee, Penn State was led
by freshman Jim Marsh who was
fencing in his first collegiate competi
tion ever. Marsh came in third in the
58-man field, followed by Lions
George Poslusny (fifth); Joseph Or
vos, the twin brother of foiler John
Orvos, (10th); Matt Caggiano (12th);
and Doug Coyne (18th).
Penn State didn't fare quite as well
in the men's sabre, although Greg
Kaidanov finished fifth out of 61 com
petitors. Peter Cox was 17th, Mune
kazu Kaizumi was 18th, Ki Chang
Mun finished 27th and Jeff Salmon
placed 32nd.
Johanna Picard led the women's
team into competition and placed
eighth in a 105-woman field.
"Johanna Picard showed some im
provement for each bout," said Kai
danov," It was a great result and she
was very stable."
Other women fencers for Penn
State included Lauren Fox (13th
place), Amy Barrett (24th), Adrienne
Zimmer (28th), Stacey Weinreb
(36th), Jennifer Bubb (37th) and
Joanne Rieseck, who finished 87th
after walking on the team from a
fencing class.

who helped the Seahawks into the
playoffs in the 1983 and 1984 seasons.
What happened?
"If I knew the answer to the ques
tion, I wouldn't have let it happen,"
said Ken Meyer, Seattle's quar
terback coach. "It's a whole bunch of
things.
"When a team isn't going good, a
lot of it falls on the quarterback. But
he gets more blame than he should
and he probably gets more praise
than he should. When a team isn't
going good for some reason, then you
make a quarterback change. That's
what happened to Dave."
When Knox arrived in Seattle from
Buffalo in January of 1983, he inher
ited the popular Zorn and Krieg. Zorn
was Knox's starting quarterback for
his first eight games as Seattle's head
coach. Then Knox went to Krieg.

more competitive teams a varsity
team can draw.
Although some of the club spbrt
teams are satisfied with the teams
they play and their own programs,
other club teams want to be includ
ed in the Penn State varsity pro
gram --- which McCullough
described as one of the largest in
the country.
Director of Athletics James Tar
man explained that this isn't so
easily achieved.
"We simply can't afford to add
any more sports," he said.
Football must support itself and
the 28 other varsity sport teams at
Penn State, he added.
Tarman said that no tuition mon
ey or University funds outside of the
athletic budget are put towards the
football program. Rather, the mon
ey that the football team generates
each season through ticket sales,
parking, advertising and private
donations is used to fund the team.
The remaining money is ear
marked for the other varsity teams.
"We'd like to have 40 teams,"
Tarman said. "But 28 is almost too
much of a burden."
Some club sports would like to
receive more money, but other tea
ms would be just as satisfied if they
could could simply get a status
change.
Women's soccer and hockey fall
into this category.
Buddy Hayford, the woman's soc
cer coach, said it is"very frustrat
ing" to be labeled as a club sport
because of the scheduling problems
the designation causes. Hayford
said the team must sometimes
hound other schools to get them on
the schedule.
"We don't want money," 'co-cap
tain Joyce VanGorder said. "We
just want the status so we can play
other varsity teams."
Although these teams want varsi
ty status and not necessarily more
money, Ellen Perry, assistant to
the athletic director, explained it's
not as cut and dry as that.
Perry said it is not just that the
money isn't available, but there are
other factors the University would
be responsible for.
Medical services have to be pro
vided for varsity teams and at this
time the University would be un
able to add services if additional
teams were made varsity.
Also, travel expensives are paid
for by the University for varsity
Green Bay, Zorn was out of the NFL.
Krieg took the Seahawks to the
American Football Conference title
game in the 1983 season. He directed
them to the franchise's best record
ever, 12-4, and into the playoffs again
in the 1984 season. He got an invita
tion to the Pro Bowl.
But Krieg slipped last season and
the Seahawks missed the playoffs
with an 8-8 record. He went from 32
touchdown passes in 1984 to 27 in 1985.
Knox made his decision to switch
from Krieg to Gilbert after the Sea
hawks were beaten in Denver. Krieg
had a dismal performance. He com
pleted six of 16 passes for 26 yards in
a 20-13 loss. He also was sacked five
times.
Krieg was inconsistent last season.
He was intercepted four times in a 28-
7 loss in Kansas City.
"For whatever reason, I don't think
he was having as good as season as he
did in 1984 in some respects," said
Meyer.
sports and the additional funds are
not there, Perry said.
Even though some club teams
said they would handle all financial
problems if they could get a status
change, Perry said the University
will not classify a team as varsity
unless it can provide the support
any other varsity team gets.
`(We) don't have as
good a schedule as
we could. Some
varsity teams are
unwilling to play us
because they have
everything to lose
and we have
everything to gain.'
—lce Hockey Club
Defenseman Davis
Mullholand
"It's a protection of the people
involved," Perry said.
The women's soccer team isn't
the only squad facing this dilemma.
The hockey team has also found
some drawbacks in being a club
sport.
Because the hockey team basical
ly operates on its own income, it
doesn't offer scholarships and it
doesn't have much money to recruit
players. Although team member
Lynn Sipe said the team could live
with just a status change, money
would be a good bonus to attract the
better players needed to form a
powerhouse.
Defenseman Davis Mullholand
said the major drawback is the
schedule.
"(We) don't have as good a
schedule as we could. Some varsity
teams are unwilling to play us be
cause they have everything to lose
and we have everything to gain."
Mullholand said another problem
is publicity.
He said some people don't realize
how good the team is because they
don't have the money for publicity.
He said if the team drew bigger
crowds it could then raise more
money. But because it can't afford
the publicity, it can't get the
crowds.
