Stickwomen rout Princeton, 6-0
By DANA PENNETT
Collegian Sports Writer
They were looking for goals, and
with a little help from senior co
captain Miriam Geller, the field
hockey team got what it was
searching for.
Yesterday, the 13th-ranked Lady
Lions upped their record to 12-3-2
with an impressive 6-0 rout over
Princeton in New Jersey. For her
part, Geller scored three goals to
tally her first hat trick of her career
and became just the 14th woman in
school history to post a three-goal
game.
The Lady Lions came out attack
ing at the onset of the game as
junior Tami Worley played a ball
off of the pads of Princeton goalie
Angela Tucci at the 1:07 mark of the
first half for the game's first.
Six minutes later, the Lady Lions
struck again when freshman Kris
ten Winters tallied her sixth goal of
the season, taking a pass from
senior Beth Stokes and blasting a
shot past Tucci.
It was all Geller for the rest of the
first half. At the 18:40 mark, she
took a pass from Winters to put
Penn State ahead by three, then at
the 31:13 mark, took a feed from
senior Diane Schleicher to end the
half with Penn State ahead 4-0.
Although they jumped out to a
formidable lead, the Lady Lions
still needed to keep momentum if it
were to stay in front of the Lady
Tigers for another 35 minutes. Head
coach Charlene Morett has been
concerned with maintaining a lead
throughout the season, but finally it
seemed as if the Lady Lions had
achieved that particular goal.
"It was very nice to get a lead and
keep it," Morett said. "We really
dominated this time and never even
let Princeton get into the game at
all."
In the second half, once again it
was Worley and Geller on the at
tack.
NFL officials want
to resume bargaining,
revise for stock loss
By DAVE GOLDBERG
AP Football Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. NFL offi
cials said yesterday that they hope to
resume bargaining with the players
union soon, but with a revised offer on
one of the main issues because the
players' pension fund lost $39 million
in the stock market problems of the
past two weeks.
Jack Donlan, executive director of
the NFL Management Council, said
he expects to speak next week with
union head Gene Upshaw to try to
resume negotiations. Earlier, Com
missioner Pete Rozelle had said he
hoped negotiations could be con
cluded by next March so the league
can go ahead with its expansion
plans.
The owners also voted to play the
rest of the season with 50-man rosters
45 players active each Sunday and
a five-man reserve squad.
But the main topic of the discussion
was the 24-day strike that ended
Oct. 15 and its after-effects, including
the antitrust suit filed by the union
against the owners when it ordered
the players back to work. Among
other things, it seeks the free agency
the players were unable to get at the
bargaining table.
During the strike, it was the play
ers who constantly sought negotia
tions, but this time it was the owners.
"I think it's in the interest of both
sides to negotiate," Rozelle said.
"Once things cool down, and the
media spotlight is off, it may be
easier to get things done."
However, the union said it wasn't
interested in resuming talks unless
the owners changed their position on
major issues. And any talks may be
complicated by the effect of the stock
market on the pension fund, a major
area of contention between the two
sides.
Donlan disclosed that "the last
time I checked" what had once been a
$4O million surplus in the pension fund
had been reduced to $1 million by
losses from the fund's stock market
investments.
The owners have been offering to
add $37 million to the fund, but $lB
million of that is money the owners
never put in.
"I don't know how much we're
going to be restricted now by what
happened," Donlan said.
"Now they've got problems with
the stock market thing," Rozelle
said. "They had money to play
around with in the surplus. But they
don't have that anymore."
The two sides last bargained for
mally on Oct. 11, the 20th day of the
strike, with agreement reached on
Penn State's Tami Worley attempts to manuever the ball past New Hampshire's goal e earlier this year. Worley
contributed to the Lady Lion's 6.0 trampling of Princeton yesterday.
`We never even let Princeton get into the
game.'
First, Worley posted her 19th goal
of the season at the 16:42 mark.
Unlike her usual tap-ins, this goal
was a blast from the top of the
circle.
The icing on the cake for both the
Lady Lions and Geller came at the
25:30 mark. Taking a pass from
Schleicher off of a corner shot,
Geller blasted it beyond Tucci to
give herself a hat trick.
Morett was pleased with her en
tire team as all of the bench got into
just eight of 38 contract issues. Addi
tional ones, like management's de
mand for a six-year contract, also
cropped up during the walkout.
Donlan, the chief management ne
gotiator, broke off the talks, saying
he saw no room for further bargain
ing. The strike ended four days later
after threats of en masse defections
by players led the union to send the
players back and file the suit.
The increased roster size was ap
proved without a formal vote, al
though participants at the meeting
said that nearly enough teams spoke
in favor of staying with the current
45-man limit that it seemed in danger
for a while of failing to get the nec
essary 21 votes.
In the first week after the strike,
teams were allowed to keep up to 85
players, but that figure will drop to 55
next week. The 50-man roster will
take effect next Tuesday.
Rozelle said the teams hoped the
increased roster size would allow
them to keep veterans who might
have been cut in favor of replacement
players used during the strike. He
also noted that it would help teams
keep replacements who had been
impressive.
Moreover, each team starts anew
on moves from injured reserve. Each
team is allowed eight free moves
during the season without putting a
player through waivers. Now all
moves used previously will not count
against the eight.
Rozelle, whose only role during the
strike was to try to bring the two sides
together, suggested that it was possi
ble that without a labor contract it
might be difficult to go ahead with
expansion by 1989.
He has said in the past that he
hoped to appoint an expansion com
mittee at the league meeting last
March if the league had gotten over
three major hurdles the television
contract, the USFL suit and the labor
contract. Asked if the absence of a
labor contract could delay appoint
ment of the committee at the next
meetings, Rozelle replied: "I hope
not, but it could."
Doug Allen. the assistant executive
director of the NFL Players Associa
tion, said the union had no interest in
resuming bargaining without sub
stantive changes in the management
position.
"Things stand just where they
stood when they walked away from
the table." Allen said by telephone
from Miami, where he and other
NFLFA officials are attending the
AFL-CIO convention.
"Until we see a substantive change
in their position, we don't see any
reason for resuming talks."
Charlene Morett
the game at some point.
"Everyone finally knows where
everyone else is on the field:* More
tt said. - Consequently, we're play
ing better as a team. The team has
felt that they've been playing well
for the past three games and this
should help us out toward the end of
the season."
Statistically, the Lady Lions dom
mated the game and capitalized on
all of their opportunities. The Penn
State squad recorded 29 shots on
Minnesota Twins pitcher Frank Viola, the 198 World Series MVP, waves to
the crowd of approximately 200,000 people y esterday in Minneapolis. The
crowd gathered to celebrate the city's first-e' rer World Series champs.

Booters reign over
Ohio State, 5-0
By ANN GARRETT

When it rains it pours
And so it goes with the weather
here in Happy Valley, and the soccer
team's scoring habits of late. The
Lions put their offense in fourth gear
in the second of their last three wins
last night when Penn State slipped,
slid and "squished" its way to a 5-0
victory over Ohio State in front of,
maybe, 40 faithful, and just plain wet
fans at Jeffrey Field.
Playing under what Head Coach
Walter Bahr called "perfect soccer
conditions," the Lions burned the
Buckeye net for two early goals and
added three more in the second half,
including two within 15 seconds of
each other.
"These are great soccer conditi
tons," Bahr said. "We should have
played better. This was a good play
ing field because you can slide the
ball. We should have had 10 to 15
goals tonight."
The Lions definitely didn't need 10
or 15 goals. In fact, freshman mid
fielder Danny Kelly's first-of-two
goals on the night 1:18 into the game
would have been enough to put away
the relatively lifeless Buckeyes and
raise Penn State's mark to 8-6-3.
Less than 15 minutes later, sopho
more midfielder Kamel Hadaad, who
also contributed two goals to the
winning effort, took a pass from for
ward Peter Daigle and shot at an
open net to give the Lions a 2-0 lead
that they rode to halftime.
Bahr said the quick start was im
portant to his squad's victory, but
after that he thought the Lions' play
took a sudden turnaround.
"That first goal helped in the early
going, and the second one came fairly
quick after that," Bahr said. "But I
thought for 20 minutes of the first
half, we were absolutely terrible; we
were hopeless.

World

ST. PAUL, Minn. Hundreds of thousands of deliriously happy
Minnesota Twins fans showered their heroes with millions of dollars in
shredded money and waved the ever-present Homer Hankies in a World
Series victory celebration yesterday.
"It's been building up since we won our division," said left fielder and
leadoff man Dan Gladden, whose grand slam homer got the Twins off to a
winning start in the first game.
"It's been parlayed and carried over since then. I guess this is the grand
finale right here. These have got to be the best fans," Gladden said.
Police estimated that more than 200,000 fans turned out for the start of
the parade in Minneapolis, and another 200,000 or more were in St. Paul to
watch the parade and a rally on the steps of the Capitol.
"I could cry. That is so nice I could cry." said team owner Carl Pohlad
as he rode at the head of the parade. A young woman rushed his car.
planted a kiss on his cheek, then apologized to Pohlad's wife, Eloise. who
rode beside him.
Steven Schussler, a Minneapolis nightclub owner, said he distributed
some 17,000 pounds of confetti for the celebration. He said that included 2.-
000 pounds of out-of-circulation, shredded money from the Federal
Reserve Bank in Minneapolis.
Federal Reserve Bank officials estimated their contribution amounted
to millions of dollars in old bills which had been taken out of circulation,
Schussler said.

Gov. Rudy Perpich gave most state employees the afternoon off, and
many Twin Cities schools followed suit. Perpich proclaimed the rest of
1987 "Twins' Year," and promised individual days in honor of each player
and members of the team management.

certainly should have been playing
with more composure when we were
up by two goals. You get a couple of
easy goals and there's a tendency to
let down."
Kelly and Hadaad each picked up a
second tally of the night about 20
minutes into the second half. Kell
capitalized first, after sophomore for
ward Steve Frantz went one-on-one
with Buckeye keeper Norm Delloso
and ended up on the ground in a
collision. Kelly picked up the loose
ball and tapped it into yet another
unguarded net.
Hadaad notched his sixth goal of
the season just 15 ticks later with the
aid of junior forward Steve Frantz,
who fed Hadaad a short pass. Hadaad
then lofted a powerful shot by Delloso
into the left corner of the net.
Bahr said Kelly, who has six goals
on the year, has been improving with
each game and predicts a bright
future for the New City. N.Y native.
"Danny's a good player, - he said.
"I think in the next three years he's
here, he'll do really well. He's a good
player now and he's going to get
better. He's got that burst of speed
and change of pace."
Sophomore Jan Skorpen tallied his
seventh score on the year when he
also dumped the ball into an empty
net with 12:48 to go in the game.
Skorpen went one-on-one with Delloso
then tapped the ball in when the
Buckeye keeper went down.
Hadaad said although OSti was not
a bad team, the Lions simply domi
nated the play, especially at the mid
field area.
"We dominated up front, especially
offensively," Hadaad said. "We put
lots of pressure on their defense and
made them make a lot of mistakes.
"In the last four or five games.
we've been putting on more pressure
at midfield. We don't let them the
opponents) play free, we stay very
close to them. Whenever they get the
ball, they find Penn State players
around them."
