Tyrone Dally Herald, Thursday, September 4,1986 Tyrone At Huntingdon, Home For 2nd-Week Grid Assignments By LE.il SLOTHER Herald Sports Writer Their traditional backyard scrap out or the way now, Tyrone High and neighboring Bellwood-Antis get down to the business of handling the rest of their schedules this Friday night, gearing for tough conference tests as they join district scholastic grid teams in second week assignments this weekend. The Golden Eagles, hoping to put together their first winning season since 1982 and off on the right foot with a 7-0 shutout of the Blue Devils, tackle long-standing rival Huntingdon in a Big Eight and Central Counties Conference clash at War Vets Field, while the Blue Devils try to rebound from the Tyrone loss when they host Southern Huntingdon in their first Mid-Penn and Inter-County Conference test. Both games also have bearings on the District 6 and Western Conference ratings. Huntingdon opened with a 7-0 win over backyard rival Southern last week while Tyrone was clipping B-A by the same count at Gray Field. Friday night's Tyrone Huntingdon meeting will be the 55th in their series.

It's one of few a Golden Eagles opponent has a wide edge as Huntingdon commands a 32-19-3 spread, though Tyrone has won three of the last four all shutouts. Last year at Gray Field it was 12-0. Bellwood-Antis and Southern Huntingdon will be lining up for the 22nd time when they jump into the Mid-Penn and I-C football conference waters in the 8 p.m. matchup a't Memorial the series was resumed in 1984 following a five-year break, B-A has won three straight games, including a 34-7 romp enroute to a 12-1 season last year, and has opened a 14-7 lead in the series. Tyrone head coach Tom Miller appeared generally satisfied with the Golden Eagle's opening performance, but is looking for improvements.

"I was disappointed that we TAHS Girls Split, Boys Lose Pair In Cross-Country Meet Tyrone High's cross-country teams opened their regular-season schedule yesterday at Martinsburg with the Lady Eagles topping host Central 2831 and bowing to Lewistown 33-24 and the boys' team losing to Central 30-26 and Lewistown 39-21. Tyrone's Lee Hayes led all runners in the boys' competition with a winning 17:08 time, while Chris Dutrow cracked the top 10 finishers with an 18:53 for 8th. Beth Dutrow (24:26) and Theresa, Webb (24:31) posted the 4th and 5th' best times in the three-team girls' meet. GIRLS SUMMARY Christa Marinos(L). R.

O'Brien, 26th, J. Owens, 27th. couldn't punch in those first two scores," he said, referring to a couple of early thrusts deep into B-A territory which produced nothing. "We graded as well as could be expected for a first game as an offensive unit. a little better than I'd expected.

Defensively, we were steady. "We threw the ball ten times in the first-half and none in the second, but I have a lot of confidence in our passing game. I think you can expect us most of the time to throw 15 or 20 times a game. We didn't throw in the second- half against Bellwood because we didn't have good field position," he explained. "I expect a typically tough Tyrone Huntingdon football game down there Friday," he offered.

"They (H-don) run. a slot-I and have a real good tailback in (Sean) Hoover. He gained over 1,000 yards last year and started with over 200 this year in the game against Southern last week. He'll probably get the ball about 20 times at least. He's a slashing type runner with good speed.

He's their punch. We'll have to stop him. "Up front they're not as big as some of their teams of the past. There I think we'll match up with them, added. Miller indicated the Golden Eagles' lineup would probably remain intact this week, though senior end Steve Weyer was scheduled for a check-up today for possible head injury after complaining of headaches and missing Wednesday's practice.

Bellwood-Antis catches a team like itself on the rebound from a 7-0 opening loss when the Blue Devils go against Southern Huntingdon. Like Huntingdon (Tom Gibboney). the Rockets have a new head coach in Brad Best. "Bellwood is another very physical football team, not much smaller than Huntingdon," says Best. "They are a very sound football team that likes to power you both ways." N.L.

Division Leaders Win: Mets, Astros Move Closer ByFREDMcMANE DPI Assistant Sports Editor When' the York Mets and Houston Astros joined the National League, they barely knew how to get to first base. Twenty-five years later, they're virtually home free. The Mets and Astros moved closer to a silver anniversary showdown in the NL playoffs Wednesday night by increasing their leads in their respective divisions. New York boosted its lead to 20 games over second-place Philadelphia in the NL East by downing the San Francisco Giants, 42. Houston, meanwhile, stretched its lead in the NL West to eight games over second-place Cincinnati by taking two games from the Chicago Cubs.

The Astros won the completion of a suspended game Tuesday. 8-7. in 18 innings then won the regularly scheduled contest 8-2. A quarter century ago when the two clubs first joined the NL as expansion teams, the Mets compiled the worst record in baseball history (42-120) and finished 60'j games out of first place while the Astros finished 32 games under .500 and were games out of first At New York, Bob Ojeda sparked the Mets to victory by pitching a three-hitter to raise his record to 16-4. Ojeda pitched his seventh complete game and gained his 10th victory against two losses in his last 17 starts.

The left-hander walked one and struck out seven. "Everyone said when 1 went around the league a second time, things would get tougher," said Ojeda. "But I've pitched better since June. "Really. I think I'm pitching at the top of my game, but this team can score runs in so manydiffereiitwaysj, r'h'ave to the column." At Chicago, Billy.

Hatcher's solo homer with one out in. the top of the 18th gave the Astros their victory in the opener. In the nightcap, pinch hitter Dickie Thon hit a three-run homer and Denny Walling added a two-run blast to help the Astros to victory.

Lance McCullers pitched the ninth for his third save. Mike Schmidt hit a three-run homer in the first inning to stake the Phillies to a 3-0 lead. Schmidt's homer marked the 12th season he has reached that total', tying him with Jimmie Foxx. Only Hank Aaron (15 times) and Babe Ruth (13) hit 30 or more homers in a season more times than Schmidt. Bosox Relievers Tough A Home By GERRY MONIGAN UPI Sports Writer Baseball lore states no lead is safe in Fenway Park, and the Boston Red Sox cannot withstand pennant race pressure.

This season, the Red Sox are proving both axioms wrong. Entering game against the Texas Rangers. Boston relievers had not lost a decision in Fenway Park, and the Red Sox owned a 4'--game lead in the American League East. BORR'S RBI Double in the Wednesday kept both "That's the way this team has been all year." said Boggs. who also hit a solo homer.

"Everybody's contributed on a different night." Bob Stanley, nearly broke the string of 19 straight saves by Boston relievers in Fenway, yielding a run in the ninth that tied the score 3-3. Starter Tom Seaver left after eight innings with a 3-2 lead. "I wished it would have been a little different." said Stanley, 6-5. who recorded his first victory since June 30, and the 100th of his career. "I was thinking I might be run out of town." The triumph was the fifth in a row for Boston, which has 32 comeback victories this season, including the last four games.

The three-game sweep extended the Rangers' slump to four in a row. Boston pinch hitter Mike Greenwell led off the ninth with a single, and one out later, pinch runner LaSchellc. Tarver scored on Boggs' double to left off reliever Dale Mohorcic. "When it's hit in the gap. you just have to think: Tarver said.

"I was just trying to get a head of steam up. The throw was up the line and it wasn't that close." Boggs maintained a .0001 lead over Minnesota's Kirby Puckett for the AL batting lead. With the game on the line in the ninth. Mohorcic knew he was at a disadvantage against Boggs. to.

Ruess was i going to hit it." fMohorcicisald. "I don't have enough pitches to face a guy like that. "He" knows what's coming. I'm having trouble with my breaking ball, and he probably a fastball's coming." Elsewhere in the AL, Toronto downed Cleveland 3-1 and Oakland topped New York 5-3, Minnesota clobbered Milwaukee 11-5, Kansas City edged Chicago 2-1 in 10 innings, Seattle nipped Detroit 3-2, and California whipped Baltimore 5-2. Blue Jays 3, Indians 1 At Toronto.

Stieb, 5-10, struck out three and walked one en route to his third straight victory. Tom Henke finished for his 20th save. Lions Kick off 100th Year Saturday Night With Owls UNIVERSITY PARK Curtain up! Light the lights! It's a long way from Broadway and 42nd Street but Beaver Stadium will have all the glitter of an opening night Saturday, September 6, when Penn State begins its celebration of a century of collegiate football in a first-ever night game against the Temple Owls. Kickoff is 7:00 p.m.

Coach Joe Paterno, who has been around for 37 of Penn State's 100 years and has won 187 of the Nittany Lions' 600 plus victories, unveils a club that has 50 lettermen and 17 starters back from the team that woundup 11-1 in 1985, one win away from a National Championship. The Lions had plenty of problems with Temple in Game Two a year ago, escaping with a 27-25 triumph. Penn State's chief tormentor last fall was Owl running back Paul Palmer, who finished 1985 as the number two rusher in college football with an average of 168.4 yards per game. Palmer has a season high against the Penn State defense of 206 yards (on 30 carries). The return of Palmer, who has already established 15 Temple records including 3,029 career rushing yards, gives the Owls reason to believe they can present problems for any defense in college football.

"Offensively, we can be as potent as any football team in the country, if we can keep the offensive line healthy," Temple coach Bruce Arians says. Paterno expects the Owls to arrive in State College with upset on their mind. "Some of the people we play early felt that we were lucky against them last year," Paterno said. "Temple, Rutgers, BC, East Carolina, all those people think were were lucky last year and now they believe they can beat us. We're going to have to beat them, they're not going to give it to us.

We've got to be mature enough to understand that." And how does Paterno view his 1986 Lions as they head into the opener? "I think it's a good football team," he said. "We have a good kicking game we have an experienced defensive team coming back that can run and has proven it can play defense. The offensive line should be stronger. The problem is the schedule.and how good we're going to got a tough row ahead of us and we've got to be awfully good. We've got to be really good to have any kind of a decent record." One of the biggest questions surrounding the 1986 Nittany Lions is the opening day starter at quarterback, a job seniors John Shaffer and Matt Knizner both covet.

"I think we've got a great quarterback situation," Paterno said "We've got two kids who are both capable of taking this fdotball team and winning games. Whichever one plays will do really well The squad has great confidence in both of them. They have great confidence in themselves. Both came off very strong spring per- took the Lions to an 11-0 mark at the starter last year and pushed his personal winning streak (dating from seventh grade) to 54-0 before the Orange Bowl loss to Oklahoma. Knizner was Shaffer's backup last year and saw his most significant service in the West Virginia and Oklahoma games.

Against the Mountaineers, Knizner was six of eight for 51 yards and he was eight of eleven for 90 yards in the Orange Bowl. In last year's game at Beaver Stadium, Shaffer completed 15 passes, the best showing by a Penn State quarterback in the Temple series, for 220 yards as the Lions rolled up 485 yards of total offense, also their best total ever against the Owls. While Palmer's rushing exploits attracted the major attention, Penn State had three runing backs turn in excellent afternoons against the Owls in i985--fullback Steve Smith with 96 yards on 13 carries, tailback D.J. Dozier with 81 on 13 tries and tailback David Clark with 61 yards on 16 attempts. Penn State has won eleven straight games in its series with Temple, which dates from 1931.

The Nittany Lions have also captured 18 of the last 19 games in the rivalry, a streak interrupted only by a 7-7 tie in 1950. Temple recorded its last victory over Penn State in 1941 by a count of 140. PENN STATE TEMPLE NOTES: Paul Palmer's 206 yards rushing (on 30 carries) in 1985 was a record for the Temple-Penn State series and represented the fourth best single game rushing total ever against the Nittany Lion defense. Penn State's Curt Warner owns the Lion mark for single game rushing yards against the Owls, 117 yards on 22 carries in 1981. Penn State coach Joe Paterno, who is in his 21st season as skipper of the Nittany Lions and his 37th as a member of the Penn State football staff, is one of three active college coaches who has won more than 80 percent of his games.

Since becoming Penn State head coach in 1966, Paterno is for a percentage of .807, which ranks him behind Barry Switzer of Oklahoma (.831) but ahead of Tom Osborne of Nebraska (.805) among the current Top Three in college football. Paterno is also second (to Bo Schembechler of Michigan with 196) in victories among active coaches. He ranks 14th in total wins and ninth in winning percentage among all-time Division 1A head coaches. In season openers under Paterno, the Lions are 17-3 including a perfect 10-0 at Beaver Stadium fall, Penn State opened with a 20-18 victory over Maryland at College Park and defeated Temple 27-25 a week later in the home opener. The Lions last lost on opening day in 1983 when Nebraska defeated them in the inaugural Kickoff Classic.

In home openers under Paterno, Penn State is 19-1, with only a loss to Cincinnati (14-3 on September 10, 1983) to blemish an otherwise perfect record. D.J. Dozier charges into the 1986 season needing 983 yards to become Penn State's all-time rushing leader. Dozier is also bidding to become the first back in the history of the school to lead the Lions in rushing four consecutive years. He currently ranks fifth on the all-time list with 2,416 career yards, 223 behind John Cappelletti in fourth place.
