Lack of Housing to
Limit New Frosh
The size of next fall's in
coming freshman class will
again be impaired by the lack
of adequate housing facilities.
Dean of Admisions C. 0.
Williams said yesterday that
the University again will be able
to admit only about one-third of
the approximately • 10,000 high
school graduates who will seek
admission.
Williams pointed out that of the
more than 3000 who will be ad
mitted, only about 2500 will be
enrolled on campus because of
limited dormitory facilities. Off
campus centers are limited in
classroom and laboratory space,
he said.
University officials expect• the
demand for admission to reach
its peak proportions'in 1965. Au
thoritative studies indicate the to
tal enrollment by 1970 will top
20,000.
Currently there are more than
12,000 students, including those in

rollment is 15,352. •
While several additional wo
men's dormitories are in the plan
ning stage, they are not expected
to be finished until 1956. Univer
sity officials say this necessitates
a ceiling of 500 on new women en
rollees. Women's dormitories can
now hold a •maximum of about
2300 students.
A requirement that freshman
men live on campus also will hold
down that figure to appro'ximate

Maximum men's dormitory ca
pacity is about 2900. New male
dormitories, like the women's
quarters, are , projected into the
future.

Lady

Daily Collegian Sports Writer
BATON ROUGE, La. From the
outset of the season, it was the team.
It was , the team that led the Lady
Lion gymnasts to a 12-2 record. It was
the team that swept the Eastern
regionals. It was the team that
earned the No. 1 national seed.
And on a balmy southern night, it
was the team that captured its second
national championship in three
years. Friday night at Louisiana
State's immense yet nearly empty
Assembly Center, Penn State out
classed and outshone the best teams
in the nation in the Association for
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women
National Gymnastics Championship.
In fact, it wasn't even close.
After losing the title last year to
Cal-State Fullerton by 0.10 point, the
Lady Lions scored 145.50 points to
dominate the competition, defeating
a youthful University of Utah squad
(144.10) by 1.40 points and an aging,
inconsistent Fullerton squad (143.65)
by 1.85 points. The Lady Lions' mar
gin of victory was the largest in the
meet since 1974.
"We were very consistent and
tough under the pressure," Penn
State coach Judi Avener said. "We
knew all along if we hit, we'd have a
good chance to win, so we geared
everything toward hitting."
Getting off to a good start is essen
tial to success in a championship
meet. Last year, while Fullerton was
nailing solid vaults and building an
insurmountable lead, Penn State was
falling from the beam and losing
ground. Friday night the opposite
occurred.
• With critical, low-scoring judges,
Lady Lion Lisa Ingebretsen set the
pace on vault with a solid 8.9, paving
the way for Margie Foster's and
Marcy Levine's 9.2 s and Ann Carr's
9.3.
And in what has become a habit
under pressure, Lynne Samuels spun
perhaps her best handspring front of
the season to earn a 9A5:'
Meanwhile, the defending cham
pions were finding life miserable on
beam. Only two Titans senior Su
san Archer-Bennefather and fresh

ady cagers capture fourth straight A-10 title
By MATT HERB
Collegian Sports Writer
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. In the giant numbers
game that was the Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball
Tournament, the digit that cropped up most fre
quently was the number three.
Three as in the number of Atlantic 10 titles the
Lady Lions had already captured prior to this
season, and coincidently, the identical amount of
title games played in the conference's brief histo
ry.
Three as in the number of games Penn State
neeeded to win in a row to bring home another
Atlantic 10 championship.
And three as in the number of losses the Lady
Lions had already suffered at the hands of the 27-2
Rutgers Lady Knights when the two teams met in
the championship game Saturday.
When it was all over, the numeral on every
body's lips was four. As in four Atlantic 10
championships, all in a row and all owned by Penn
State. The newest addition came when the Lady
Lions overcame whatever voodoo Rutgers normal
ly used on them, racing past the Lady Knights 84-
69 at West Virginia, University's Coliseum.
In the first round on Thursday, the Lady Lions
(23-7) trashed the University of Massachusetts 88-
93, and followed it with a convincing 80-60 victory
over St. Joseph's in the semifinals on Friday.
The victory earned Penn State an automatic bid
to the National Collegiate Athletic Association
tournament, which the Lady Lions will begin when
they play North Carolina State at 7:30 p.m. Friday
at Rec Hall.
"All along," Lady Lion Head Coach Rene Port
land said, "we've had the motto, 'three's the
charm, four'S the trophy.' As soon as we lost to
RUtgers the third time we had to come up with
something quick. This tournament and this trophy
mean an awful lot to us."
For Rutgers Head Coach Theresa Grentz, those
same numbers were the most logical way of
explaining her team's first loss to Penn State this
season.
"It's damn tough to beat a team three times,"
she said. "Four times and you're asking almost
the impossible."
On a more tangible front, Grentz put the loss
down to inexperience. The Lady Knights' all-ev
erything forward, 17-year-old sophomore Sue
Wicks, passed up a fistful of key scoring opportuni
ties in the second half and freshmen guards
Telicher Austin and Janet Malouf were held in
check by Suzie McConnell's tenacious full-court
defense.
"You live with a freshman backcourt," Grentz
said, "you die with a freshman backcourt, it's that
simple. They're looking to the upperclassmen and
the upper classmen are awful darned young. It's
an experience. It's a lesson. You learn. You move
on." •
or s

junior Nancy Jones, both seasoned
veterans, suffered falls on beam.
After one event, Penn State led
Fullerton by over two points and
although the Titans perforiried well on
vault, they fell victim to their own
strategy on floor and bars.
Fullerton coach Lynn Rogers believes
in never holding back and insists on
highly difficult routines, regardless of
the risks. If his team hits,. they're
awesome. If not.. .
Rogers said he was disappointed his
talented team did not respond• under
pressure. •
"It's hard to compete with your hands
around your throat," Rogers said. "We
choked. Susan did real well for us. She's
an 'old horse' so to speak and can still
pull the wagon. But we had a couple of
horses out there that maybe should have
been put out to pasture."
Jones and Karilyn Burdick, each an
All-American last season (top six in the
nation), did not place in the top 10
Friday. Myslak, who placed second last
season, could only manage seventh this
time around. The Lady Lions however,
equally as experienced as Fullerton,
pulled together and covered for each
other whenever someone faltered.
"I do think we were the best prepared
team and best equipped to handle the
pressure," Avener said.
Since the team scores were not posted
or announced during the meet, the Lady
Lions were uncertain of exactly how
close either Fullerton, Utah or LSU were
to them. •
Therefore, with the tension remaining
high, Penn State kept turning in con
sistent performances. •
On bars, Ingebretsen faltered
somewhat during her graceful, flowing
routine, yet still led the team with a 9.2.
Carr and Foster backed her with a 9.15
and 9.1, respectively.
On beam, the harshest-judged event of
the meet - only three 9.0 s or above were
awarded to 120 gymnasts - two Lady
Lions fell, yet Carr managed an 8.95 and
Levine an 8.7. Freshman Joanne Beltz
also contributed a solid 8.6. •

Penn State's Jeannie O'Brien protects the ball from a Massachusett's defender during the Atlantic 10
Championship Tournament last Thursday In Morgantown, W.Va. O'Brien and her teammates overcame a
threelame losing streak to Rutgers to capture their fourth straight Atlantic 10 crown.
freshmen Eileen Huck and Shannon
Coleman - were on vault, their poorest
event, while the Lady Lions were on
their strongest event, floor exercise.
"I knew we had to be leading going
into vault, if we.were to have a chance,"
Utah coach Greg Marsden said. "But
when we were three-tenths of a point
down, we just tried,to hang onto second
place."
Second place was the best any team
could hope for. Penn State, with a total of
37.10, put on a floor exercise per
formance that dazzled the nearly 2,000
spectators in the the 10,000 seat arena.
Lady Lion Anne McGeachy, who didn't
even compete in regionals, smiled and
danced her way to a 9.2. Foster used a
double-twist and a tumbling pass for the
first time this season and earned a 9.25.
Carr's routine earned the same score.
Levine, the defending national floor
champion, led Penn State with a 9.4.
MU, the fourth-seeded team led by
freshman Sandra Smith, the nation's No.
2 all-arounder, performed well on its
first two events,lloor and vault. But an
injury to its second best all-arounder,
Teri Harris, caused the team to nosedive
on bars and beam to finish a disap
pointing sixth.
"We lost the nucleus of our team and
our one-two punch when Terri got hurt,"
LSU coach D.D. Breaux said.
Penn State howet;er, finished the meet
strong and healthy - just as it has all
season. But there was another, more
important key to the the Lady Lions'
victory, a factor that caused Fullerton's
demise.
"We worked for clean routines we
were able to handle," Carr said. "We
didn't overload and it worked for us."
In the all-around competiton, Carr put
the finishing touches on a brilliant
career in performing as consistent as
she has all season. 'Totalling 36.65, she
placed second behind UCLA's dynamic
freshman Sharon Shapiro (38.0). Archer-
Pennefather(36.2s) ranked third, while

Lady Knight offense
pulls disappearing act
By MATT HERB
Collegian Sports Writer
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Strang
er things have happened in this world
than the sudden disappearance of
Rutgers' uncontainable offense late
in Saturday's Atlantic 10
Championship Game with the wom
en's basketball team.
The eighth-ranked Lady Knights
were, after all, only one (barely)
missed shot away from an early
departure from the tournament in
their semifinal game with of all tea
ms, 11-16 West Virginia. Rarely,
though, have the above mentioned
strange things been less expected,
and never have they come at a more
inopportune time than they did
against the Lady Lions.
Consider the following: Sue Wicks,
the Lady Knights' record-breaking,
league-leading, add-your-own-adjec
tive sophomore scoring sensation fol
lowed a 17-point first half
performance with three points in the
second.
Or how about this one: the Lady
Knights, who had been hitting nearly
70 percent of their free throws prior to
Saturday, tossed a couple of clutch
one-on-one situations off the glass and
into Penn State arms late in the
game.
And finally: the same Rutgers
team that scorched the nets with 41
points in the first 20 minutes, was
held to 28 in the final stanza.
"The crusher was that in the sec
ond half they only scored twenty
some points," Penn State Head Coach
Rene Portland said. "We went into
the locker room and they had 41
points. You can't give them that
many points in a half. If this is going
to be an 80-point game, we're going to
be in trouble."
lENRI
That's a lesson the Lady Lions had
learn6d well before the Atlantic 10
tournament. In its three regular-sea
son losses to Rutgers, Penn State
never surrendered fewer than 73
points.

It may not have held much comfort,
but the Lady Lions were not in poor
company. Rutgers averaged a con
ference-leading 79 points per game,
manhandling opponents by an equal
ly intimidating .16.2 points per game,
also tops in the conference.
When West Virginia dropped an
extremely winnable 57-56 decision to
the Lady Knights in the semifinals, it
was seen by most observers as one of
those freak occurences that happen
oh, say once in a lifetime.
And Penn State did not have a 6-7
bruiser like the Mountaineers'
Georgeann Wells swatting down shots
and clogging up the lane. How would
the Lady Lions possibly stop the likes
of Wicks (22.6 points and 10.2 re
bounds per game), center Regina
Howard (14.8 ppg), and forward Kris
ten Foley (10.7 ppg)?
As it turned out, by not even trying.
"Our game plan going in was to
take (guard Telicher) Austin out of
the game," Portland said. "Every
body has tried to take Wicks out of the
game and I don't know if you can. We
went in to frustrate Austin. She had
seven points.
"I think in the end, they tried to go
to her because she's been the money
player through the whole tournament
for them."
Lady Lion guards Suzie McConnell
and Patti Longenecker were most
responsible for keeping Austin, as
well as fellow guard Janet Malouf at
bay. Their full-court pressure often
left the Lady Knights with less than 20
seconds on the shot clock by the time
they brought the ball upcourt.
"We took Austin out of the game,"
Lady Lion forward Joanie O'Brien
said. "She was running their offense
way out at halfcourt trying to get by
Suzie. And the big people Vicki
(Link), Bethany (Collins), Pia (Ed
vinsson), Laura (Hugues) had
control of the inside with a little bump
here and a little bump there."
