Maryland's top three will be challenged by Darnell Adams, Claudia Karabedian, and Kelly Nelson, respectively.

The Icers (4-0) will tangle with Canisius today at 5 p.m., while Ho bart takes on the host team in the nightcap. In their last meeting with Canisius (during the 1984-85 season), the team dropped a 12-6 decision. This year's high-scoring Penn State squad has averaged 9.25 goals per game while surrendering an average of just 3.25 in wins over Fredonia (10- 0), Gannon (12-3), Rochester (8-5) and Niagara-Welland (7-5). "That was two years ago, and we have a totally different team now than we did then," said Head Coach Swimmen challenge Clarion By JOSEPH HAAS Collegian Sports Writer t i - '' After a strong season-opening road victory last weekend, the women's swimming and diving team returns home tonight to face Division II powerhouse Clarion University at 7 p.m.' at McCoy Natatorium. On Saturday, the team easily defeated George Wash ington University, 147-102, but it knows it will need a better effort and more intensity when it faces Clarion, the defending NCAA Division II champions. , Y'i 'l4"' "My major hope is that we improve on our .perfor mance over last weekend, individually and as a team (and) that we maintain our intensity throughout the meet," Head Coach Bob Krimmell said. "Last week we got out to such a big lead that we lost intensity. In this meet we'll have to keep it throughout. "Clarion is a much more difficult opponent for us," he added. "Last year the score was 75-65 and the meet came'down to the next to last event. Talent-wise, they are comparable to most Division I schools. They have a very strong swimming tradition." Some critics might look at this season as a rebuilding year for Penn State, since the Lions graduated a large class of talented swimmers and divers last spring. et ' Maryland continued from page 15 Last weekend the Terps lost for the fourth time in five weeks and a weak ened offense didn't make things any easier against North Carolina. Maryland managed to score often in the 32-30 final-second loss, but it did so without the tailback duo of Alvin Blount and Tommy Neal. Between them they've gained 770 yards, mak ing things tough for opposing de fenses. Blount is expected to start tomorrow, but Neal's status is ques tionable. "We've had some things that have gone wrong, the toughest one being injuries," Ross said. "I'm not going to cry over all that, though." `lt's been a distraction, it's not fashionable to be a - student-athlete at Maryland right now. The situation has had some effect on them.' On offense the Terrapins have quarterback Dan Henning, • who's completed 144 of 255 passes for 2,068 yards and 13 touchdowns while being intercpeted eight times. Henning's compiled these statistics despite los then bring the bowl back during November and get a delicious REFILL for 50 plus the outside temperature (temperature established at 10 a.m.) Bobby Ross Special "Soup On The Go" Buy, a delicious bowl of soup f0r51.99 Jon Shellington, referring to the pre vious contest with Canisius. "They have one high-scoring line and it's our plan to sit on those guys and I'm convinced that we will. "Our strategy is to sit on their hot line and play good team defense," Shellington continued. "We have a lot of depth up front and we're going to score a lot of goals. The main ques tion, especially this weekend, is how well are we going to play in our own zone." After four games, senior co-captain Lynn Sipe leads the leers with 12 points (three goals, nine assists). Sipe, the Lions' leading scorer for the past three seasons and Penn State's all-time leading scorer, deposited all three of his goals on power plays against Gannon two weeks ago. Newcomer Rob Smith, a junior transfer from Kent State, has pro vided instant offense for the Icers. Krimmel, however, feels the team still ought to be successful this season. Tonight's meet, then, could set the table for a prosperous winter. "I would hope we're going to do well in each event because then it would show that we're strong . . . from top to bottom in the lineup," Krimmel said. "You don't want to have a place (in the scoring) where you get nailed. I hope we will show some depth in each event. "Our freshmen swam well last week in the meet against George Washington," he added. "It's a chance to find out about our talents and strengths." ing split end Azizuddin Abdur-Ra'oof during the fourth game of the season. He suffered a season-ending achilles tendon injury, leaving a big hole in the offense. Henning has switched his attention to wide receiver Jim Milling, who's caught 27 ballS for 525 yards and six touchdowns, five in the last two games. Vernon Joines, who replaced Abdur-Ra'oof, has added 22 recep tions for a 14-yard average. Tight end Ferrell Edmunds has made 20 grabs and stored on three of them. Henning said the injuries have kept the team from generating any mo mentum as the season has pro gressed. "I think there has been a difficulty with . continuity," Henning said. "We've had guys in and out. Last week was the first time we've started the same offensive line two weeks in a row all year " Ross has characterized the Terps' defense as "up and down" this season as injuries have again taken their toll. The team's been without the services of lineman Bruce Mesner and halfback Keeta Covington. O'Bri en Alston (linebacker) and Irvin Smith (defensive back) missed last week's game as well. _ _ To stop a Lion attack that has been blowing out their opponents, the Ter rapin defense will have to be in peak form. Ross knows it will take a lot to defeat the No. 2 Lions. "I'm expecting to see a great foot ball team," he said. "There's not one weakness you can see. They have good size, speed, depth and they're Smith pumped in seven goals and tallied a ,pair of assists in the first four outings, including a pair of hat tricks last weekend against Roches ter and Niagara-Welland. The 6-0, 187-pound center has two short-hand ed goals and a pair of game-winning goals to his credit, while Jim Yab lecki has 10 points (five goals and five assists) in the first four games. '• "We recruited him (Smith) as a freshman before he went to Kent State and when we played them, we always had to keep an eye on him," Shellington said of his high-flying transfer. "He's such a complete play er and he has that special knack for scoring goals whenever he touches the puck. "With Smith, Sipe and Mike Cardo nick, I feel very confident in our top line," Shellington said. "They're starting to click and if they jell half as ,well as I think they will, they're going to roll up some big-league numbers. Diving Head Coach Craig Brown is optimistic that tonight will yield positive results in both the one and three meter diving competitions despite the presence of Clarion's Dorie Namilo, who finished 11th individu ally in Division I diving last year. "We're physically strong," Brown said. "We're ten times stronger this year than at this time last year." Krimmel is also looking forward to the meet and expects tough competition, especially from Clarion's Tina Bair, Kathy Hansen and Kristi Rosenbaum. "It's going to bean exciting meet for us because the competition is higher than last week," Krimmel said. "I'll be pleased if we show substantial improvement from this week over last week." playing with a lot of confidence. "They're an extremely well coached and disciplined type of foot ball team. Looking at the two deep most of them are seniors and there's nobody under a junior listed —that's a healthy type of situation." It's also the exact opposite of Ross' team, but the veteran coach isn't conceding anything to the Lions. "I think we've got to play two good halves," he said. "We've played some very good halves as a team, but never two in one game. "I'm just hopeful we can stay healthy. We don't have to play a perfect game you never do but we can't make mistakes in critical areas." Ferrell Edmunds COUNT THE BULBS! Confused about tanning beds? Let us enlighten you.

A-10 releases poll, TV plans EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Temple was selected yesterday as the preseason favorite to win the Atlantic 10 Conference basketball ti tle and the league announced it has gained a corporate sponsor for 15 games that will be televised. • Commissioner Ron Bertovich said the league has agreed with Mazda Motors of America (East) Inc. on a 15-game syndicated television pack age, called the Mazda Game of 'the Week. The games will be seen throughout the northeastern United States on both over-the-air stations and major cable networks, including Home Team Sports and Madison Square Garden Network. "Two - of our television related goals were to maximize the exposure of Atlantic 10 Conference teams, and to make certain that every member school was involved in our television plans," Bertovich said. "This syndi cated Game of the Week package enables us to accomplish both of those tasks." The Game of the Week package features eight regular-season games as well as quarterfinal, semifinal and championship games in postseason action. Some games involving league tea ms also will be shown on CBS, NBC, ESPN and the USA Network, and Bertovich said more than 60 league games will appear on TV this season. St. Joseph's Coach Jim Boyle said the entire TV package will help re cruiting efforts. "All the young players out there, the high school players, are-going to see our best players and are going to be impressed with the level of compe tition and the general quality of the league," he said. "That's going to really help us recruiting." In the preseason poll among 20 members of the news media who cover the league, Temple received 198 out of a possible 200 points, includ ing 18 first place votes. The Owls were 25-6 last season and are led by center Tim Perry and guard Nate Blackwell, both chosen to the presea son all-league team. St. Joseph's, which captured last year's regular season and tourna ment titles, was second, followed by West Virginia, Duquesne, St. Bona venture, Penn State, Massachusetts, George Washington, Rutgers and Rhode Island. West Virginia Coach Gile Catlett said the top three teams traditionally are the league's best. "However, I'm trying to acclimate our fans because one of the other teams might slip through this year," he said. 237-3300 FUEL FOR THE FIRE MEXICAN MADNESS Only $1.99 (reg. $2.99) 2"TACOS Chips & Medium soft drink SPECIAL RUNS Bpm-10pm112am•CLOSE DAILY PEDROS 131 S.
