Postmaster general
responds to critic
By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. Post
master General Preston R. Tisch
is taking Federal Trade Commis
sion Chairman Daniel Oliver to
task for . criticizing the Postal
Service.
Oliver wrote Tisch on May 15,
contending that “postal service is
bad and customers are unhappy”
and urging an end to the Postal
Service’s monopoly.
Tisch responded in a letter Tues
day, telling Oliver that he “is flat
out wrong” about the quality of
service and the feelings of mail
ers.
The American public is receiv
ing better mail service than ever
before and “the glib reference to
‘unhappy customers’ is miles off
the mark,” Tisch said.
Oliver, an advocate of competi
tion in most matters, believes that
the American public would be
better off if it had a choice of ways
to get letters delivered.

The laws giving the service a
monopoly on letter delivery pro
tect the agency’s income, so that it
can provide service in all areas
city and rural without huge,
government subsidies, Tisch said.
While the laws do limit the
choices of the public and business

outweigh those costs, he added.

In areas where competition is
allowed, such as parcel post and
overnight delivery, service has
improved, Oliver said. He con
tended that “private companies
have offered consistently better
service to the American people.”
So, he wrote, the public deserves
the liberty to choose among com
petitive letter delivery services
also.
Tisch disagreed.
Several studies and polls have
found the public to be satisfied
with postal service, with between
74 percent and 86 percent of the
public holding favorable views of
his agency, the postmaster gener
al wrote.

NHL awards
Hextall
and Poulin
TORONTO (AP) - Wayne Gretzky
of the Edmonton Oilers won the Hart
Trophy, given to the NHL’s Most
Valuable Player, for a record eighth
consecutive time at the league’s an
nual awards ceremony last night.
Gretzky’s competition was de
fenseman Ray Bourque of the Boston
Bruins and goaltender Mike Liut of
the Hartford Whalers.
Liut also a finalist in the race for
the Vezina Trophy, given to the
league’s top goaltender, lost to Phila
delphia’s Ron Hextall, who won the
Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of
the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Gretzky, who has won the award in
each of his eight NHL seasons, led the
league in scoring for the seventh
consecutive time with 62 goals and
121 assists for 183 points. It marked
the sixth consecutive season he has
scored 150-or-more points.
Dave Poulin of the Flyers won the.
Selke Trophy as the NHL’s best de
fensive forward.
Poulin, who had 25 goals and 70
points in 75 games, beat center Guy
Carbonneau of the Montreal Ca
nadiens and Bobby Gould of the Capi
tals.
Gretzky also added his fifth Lester
B. Pearson Award to his list of
achievements earlier this week. The
award is for the NHL’s outstanding
player as selected by members of the
league’s player association.
Bourque, who led the Bruins in
scoring with 95 points, won the Norris
Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman.
Bourque, the first Bruin to win the
award since Bobby Orr in 1975, beat
out Mark Howe of the Philadelphia
Flyers and Larry Murphy of the
Washington Capitals for the award.
He also won the Calder Trophy as the
NHL’s top rookie in 1980.
Hextall, a rookie, led the NHL in
minutes played, save percentage and
wins while compiling a 3.00 goals
against average.
Edmonton’s Grant Fuhr and Liut
also were finalists for the Vezina,
which was determined by a vote of
the league’s general managers.
Hextall lost out on a third award
when Los Angeles Kings’ forward
Luc Robataille won the Calder Tro
phy as the league’s top rookie. Roba
taille finished his first NHL season
with 45 goals and 84 points. He beat
out Hextall and teammate Jimmy
Carson.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Veteran
outfielder Mike Easier was traded
back to the New York Yankees yes
terday for two minor-league players
outfielder Keith Hughes and short

Phillies announced.
Easier, 36, obtained in a four-play
er trade from the Yankees last De
cember, hit .282 in 33 games with the

where he has been hitting .295
through 40 games. He spent 15 days
with the Yankees last month, going
hitless in four at-bats. The Phillies
assigned him to their Triple-A affil
iate in Maine.
Turner, 24, has been hitting .315
through 20 games with the Yankees’
Double-A affiliate in Albany. The
Phillies assigned him to their Double-
A affiliate in Reading.

Lady laxers win national title

COLLEGE PARK, Md. When
looking back at 1987, Penn State
sports fans will have a lot to be
proud of.
The school notched its first na
tional championship of the year
when the underdog football''team
completed its undefeated season
with a 14-10 win over Miami in one
of the most talked about games of
the century.
But that wasn’t enough.

Lakers look to give Celts
knock-out punch tonight
By BILL BARNARD
AP Basketball Writer
BOSTON The Los Angeles Lakers might be facing a
tougher opponent than the Boston Celtics tonight.
“We have a cushion and as soon as you start thinking
that way, you’re going to lose,” Lakers Coach Pat Riley
said after practice yesterday. “We have to fight that
feeling of security and fight it hard.”
The Lakers lead the best-of-seven NBA championship
series 3-1 thanks to Magic Johnson’s hook shot with two
seconds remaining that beat the Celtics 107-106 Tuesday
night. Game 5 will be played in Boston tonight, but the
sixth and seventh games, if necessary, would be at the
Inglewood Forum, where the Lakers easily won the first
two games.
“We celebrated Tuesday night because we broke
through at Boston Garden,” Riley said, referring to the
Celtics’ third loss in 88 games there. “We took a second to
savor what we had done, but now we have to realize we
still haven’t won it yet.”
Spikers place third at NCAAs

The men’s volleyball team was on a roll. The
Lions had just dominated the University of South
ern California, 15-5, in game three to take a two
games-to-one lead in their best-of-five semi-final
match of the NCAA Tournament May 1.
But Penn State’s road to a national
championship came to a screeching halt that night
in UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion. USC stormed back to
take games four and five, the match, and the
Lions’ dream of a title with a 15-12,9-15,5-15,15-12,
15-9 come-from-behind victory.
“We had taken control of the match (in the third
game),” Head Coach Tom Tait said. “I really
think we should have won it, but in the fourth ball
game we came out with a little less intensity than
we had in the previous three games and allowed
them to kind of work their way back into the flow.”
. USC never got into the flow in its Championship
over 70 million, the women’s la
crosse team garnered an NCAA
title of its own. The Lady Lions

undefeated and top-ranked Temple

May 16.

Riley said that when complacency threatens his team,
“that’s when I talk history with them. That’s when I
remind them that we won Game 1 of the finals in Boston in
1984 and got a false sense of security.
“We won Game 4 last night the way we lost the series in ,
1984,” Riley said.
The Laker players are less concerned than Riley about
a letdown.
“We were younger in ’B4 and made some mistakes after
we won here,” Johnson said. “We haven’t accomplished
what we want yet. It will help that we’ve been in this
position before.”
“I think we’re mentally tough enough to overcome
those feelings of security,” Lakers sixth man Michael
Cooper said. “I think we’ll play hard (tonight). It would
be nice to win it on the parquet floor.”
“I hope they’ll get complacent, but I’m not counting on
it,” Boston Coach K.C. Jones said. “I doubt it will be a
problem for them. If I were them, I would rather take the
title away from us on our own floor.”

match with UCLA, though, as the Bruins swept the
Trojans 15-12, 15-2, 16-14, to win their 12th NCAA
title in 25 years.
Tait said that if his team had executed better in
several crucial situations in games four and five of
the semi-finals, it very easily could have been his
squad that battled UCLA for the title. '
“I think the thing that really hurt us badly in
that match,” Tait said, “was that there were a
couple of critical times in both the fourth and fifth
games when we really needed to win a critical
point or a critical sideout with some aggressive
play and we didn’t get the aggressive play we
needed.
“It certainly was within our reach and I think we
should have gone out and taken it from them, but
we didn’t. We allowed them to get back into it, and
once they got back into it, their outside hitters that
we had controlled fairly well through the match
really got hot and began to put some balls away on
the outside.”

Perhaps having learned a lesson about letting
up, the Lions never let Ohio State into the third
place match, sweeping the Buckeyes 15-3,15-6,15-
6. Tait said that his squad played excellent bail in
the contest, and that defensively Penn State
played better than it had in the second half of the
semi-final match.
“I was very pleased with the way we came
back,” Tait said. “Obviously the whole team was
extremely disappointed and very much down after
the semi-final loss, but we focused in the locker
room after that on the third-place match and the
first step towards winning the national
championship next year.”
And this business about a national championship,
is not just idle'talk from Tait, who led his squad to
its second-straight final four appearance and fifth
in seven years. Penn State will be without senior
outside hitter Jose Rubayo next year, but he was
the only starter the Lions lost to graduation.

T rackmen
first
at IC4As
By STACEY JACOBSON
Collegian Sports Writer
In the sport of track, individual
excellence is necessary for the team
score. But which is more important,
individual achievements or success
for the team? Fortunately for the
men’s track team, it didn’t have to be
satisfied with one or the other. It got
both an IC4A title and four All-
Americans.
The accomplishments of Penn
State’s All-Americans Steve Bal
key, Eric Carter, Ray Levitre and
Dave Masgay, proved that they are
among the best in the country in their
events. And when the Ljons captured
the IC4A title, they placed the whole
team in that elite category of cham
pions.
“The IC4A is far more important
than the NCAA (meet) because you
compete as a team. Winning the IC4A
is like in most sports winning the
national championship,” Head Coach
Harry Groves said.
This year’s victory at Viilanova’s
Jumbo Elliot Track marks Penn
State’s third IC4A Championship and
its second consecutive outdoor title
an accomplishment unmatched since
Maryland captured the title in 1980
and ’Bl.
“You don’t find many teams that
are constant repeaters,” Groves said.
The Lions nipped George Mason by
a five-point margin with a score of 68.
The rest of the places were earned by
Pitt (51), Maryland (43), Villanova
(37), Princeton (35), Manhattan (32),
James Madison (28), Boston Univer
sity (24) and St. John’s (23).
The three-day meet, which began
Friday May 21, started on a high note
for Penn State when Masgay, Barry
Walsh and Chris Green placed first,
second and fifth, respectively in the
decathlon. Masgay’s score of 7,588
qualified him for the NCAA meet and
eventually All-American status.
On Saturday, Penn State chalked
up two more first place finishes with
C. J. Hunter’s shot put throw of 57 feet
3 inches, and Carter’s 30:26.4 run in
the 10,000 meters.
Following Saturday’s victories, the
Lions would gain one more first-place
finish, but an accumulation of six
more scoring finishes helped them
edge the Partiots. The first-place was
tallied by Levitre with a 1:49.25 in the
800 meters. Levitre ran a come-from
behind race in which he sprinted from
the back of the pack in the last 150
meters. Lion Chris Mills placed sixth
in that event with 1:50.57.
Sophomore Michael Timpson
placed fourth in the 100-meters
(10.56), an event which was won in a
