Mount Union Mat Quad Is Saturday Why change a good thing? That's the attitude Mount Union has taken as it prepares (or Saturday's annual quadrangular wrestling tournament. The field for the varsity junior varsity event includes the same four teams as in the past two years. Joining Mount Union in the tournament will be Class AAA Milton Hershey of District Three, Class AAA Shamokin of District Four and Class AA Everett of District Five. The schedule for the day includes: 1 p.m., junior varsity first round; 2:30, varsity first round; 6 p.m., varsity and junior varsity consolations; 7:30, varsity and junior varsity championships. Two mats will be used for all sessions.

The tournament is sponsored jointly by Mount Union Area Wrestling Club and the school district. Vickie Stewart and Gladys Gaisior head the project for the club while athletic director Dayton Shugarts oversees the tourney for the school district. Individual trophies will be awarded to champions in both divisions as well as team trophies. There will also be trophies for the quickest pins in both divisions. It marks the first competition of the season for the Trojans, who finished second to Milton Hershey in both the varsity and junior varsity team standings last year.

Mount Union had swept both crowns in the Inaugural event. "We've had different sets of officials each of the first two years and they came away commenting on the quality of the wrestling for so early in the season," Mount Union coach Randy Stewart points out. "it's proved to be a great way to kick off our season. "Past fan support has been excellent and folks should be in for another treat Saturday. The meet has been very competitive in the last two years and should be as good or even belter this year." The wrestling club will operate the cafeteria for the convenience of fans and a light supper will be served between rounds.

Five defending varsity champions will be in the field this year, including Mount Union junior Eric Stewart, the only two time champ. Stewart won at 105 as a freshman and at 112 last year. He'll goat 119 on Saturday. Other returning champs (listed with last year's weights) are Everett's'Hank Neville (105), Shamokin's Tim Milbrand (126) and Milton Hershey's Nico Boyd (98) and CarltonBIeiler(hwt). Six of last year's runners up are back.

They are: Darrell Beckwith (015) and Stewart 126) of Mount Union; Everett's Scott Mearkle (98) and Ken Shipley (112); and Lambert Goes To Pitt Team ByFREDMcMANE UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) The University of Pittsburgh still hasn't given up hope of winning the national championship in college football. Although currently ranked No. 4 in the nalion, Coach Jackie Sherrill believes his club could slill finish No. 1 if il beals South Carolina in the Gator Bowl on Dec. 29.

"I think we still have a chance for the, championship," said Sherrill, who accepted the Lambert Trophy Thursday on behalf of his 10-1 club at a luncheon honoring the best college football teams in the East. "Personally, I feel we're as good as any team in the nation right now. I think any team that finishes ranked among the top five can say 'we are the Offensive guard Mark May, the Outland Trophy winner as the nation's best interior lineman, concurred. May also felt that given another chance Pitt could avenge its only loss of the season, a 36-22 setback to third-ranked Florida State on Oct. 11 at Tallahassee, Fla, Since then the Panthers have won six in a row and are ranked second nationally to the Seminoles in total defense.

"If we were to play them (the Seminoles) four more times, I think we'd be 4-1," said May. "We made a lot of mistakes the game we played them. We had some disciplinary problems. It was cold at home and a lot of guys came down to Florida and jumped in the pool and let distractions get in the way. We didn't have our minds on the game.

"1 really think we'd beat Georgia (the nation's No. ranked team) if we played them. We're capable of beating anyone in the country." May has all it figured out how the Panthers can win the national championship. "If Florida were to upset Florida Stale and Southern California beat Notre Dame (No. 2) this week then we could be No.

2 going into the bowls," said May. "Then, if Notre Dame beats Georgia and we beat South Carolina we should be No. Even if Florida State beats Florida Saturday, May said Pitt still isn't out of the national championship picture. "USC would still have to beat Notre Dame, Oklahoma beat Florida State in the Orange Bowl and Notre Dame beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl," said May. What sticks in the throat of May and Sherrill is that Alabama, with two losses and a No.

8 ranking, was invited, to play in the prestigious Cotton Bowl while the Panthers were relegated to the Gator Bowl. "There's no question the mystique of gear Bryant got Alabama invited to the Cotton Bowl," said May. "If you have two losses and go to the highest paying b.owl, someone is holding the carcj- ShsrrUl said he S9S i derstafl4 why thj cQjBjn Wees 4J4 what He iiwt wishes "I can understand why the bowls picked the people they did but I don't necessarily agree," said Sherrill. "They're Irying to make money and satisfy their community. When they're making a decision it's sort of like dating two girls.

When you marry one, you don'l want to slap the other one in the face. "1 just wish they'd'said, 'we're taking Notre Dame 'we're taking Alabama because of Coach Shamokin's Kevin Hockenbrock (138) and Jay Llewellyn (hwt). Here's a Ihumbnall sketch of the visitng teams: MILTON MERSMEY The Spartans are under first year coach Rod Chamberlain, who served five years as an assistanl under Carl Rhodes. Milton Hershey lost to Elizabethlown and Wilson in a triangular meet last weekend and wrestled Mechanicsburg last night. The return six letlermen from lasl year's 9-8 learn, but Chamberlain points out that a few of his seniors may not compete Saturday due to confliclions wilh college board examinations.

Vets with expected weghls are' Nico Boyd (105), Kevin King (98), Dave Maclvor (126), Dave Pinkney (132), Bob Marlin (145) and Carllon Bleiler (hwt). King and Maclvor are juniors and the others are seniors. SHAMOKIN The Indians are also under a rookie coach, Bruce Vic- loriano, who served three years as an assislanl under Harry Reed. Shamokin has six vels back from lasl year's 5-12 leam, which made a much improved showing in Ihe quad over its first appearance. Shamokin competed in the Norlh Schuylkill Tournamenl last weekend and had one champion and five runners up.

The Indians opened their dual schedule last night against Bloomsburg. Victoriano rales his, lop matmen as: Mike Strohecker (98), Jeff Fabian (126), Tim Milbrand (132), Kevin Hockenbrock (145) and Jay Llewellyn (185). Hockenbrock won Ihe lille al Norlh Schuylkill. EVERETT Third year coach Pal Crawford has five lellermen back from lasl winler's oul- slanding 16-2 squad. The Warriors opened Iheir campaign last night at Penn Cambria.

Neville, who wrestled al Tussey Mounlain as a freshman, was a Dislrict 5-AA" runner up last year. He's expecled lo be al 112 pounds onSatuday. Other key returnees are Scott Merakle (105), Ken Shipley (119), Alan Feathers (126) and Todd Allman (145). sports action SATURDAY (ABC) NCAA FOOTBALL: 12:00 NOON E.S.T. 11:00 AM C.S.T.

The University of Georgia laid further claim to its status as the No. 1 college football team in the nation Thursday with three of its players named to United Press International's All-America team. Running back Herschel Walker, defensive back Scott Woerner and kicker Rex Robinson were chosen for the 24-member All-America first team, with W.alker receiving the additional honor of being the first freshman ever to make UPI's starting unit. The University of Southern California also had three players on the first team, which was selected by more than 100 sports writers and broadcasters from across the nation. Offensive tackle Keith Van Home, offensive guard Roy Foster and defensive back Ronnie Lott were selected from the Trojans' squad.

Purdue, Notre Dame, Florida State and Nebraska each had two players selected while Stanford, South Carolina, Alabama, Houston, Texas, Baylor, North Carolina, UCLA and Michigan State each named one player to the team. It marked the 18th year in a row that at least one player from Notre Dame received first-team All-America honors. Joining Walker in the starting backfield were Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers of South Carolina, running back Jarvis Redwine of Nebraska and quarterback Mark Herrmann of Purdue. Others named to the offensive team were wide' receiver Ken Margerum of Stanford, light end Dave Young of Purdue, tackle Mark May of Pittsburgh, guard Randy Schleusener of Nebraska and center John Scully of Notre Dame. Margerum is a repeater from last year's team while Rogers was a second team selection a year ago.

Defensive end Hugh Green of Pitlsburgh and deep back Ken Easley of UCLA made the squad for the third year in a row and middle guard Ron Simmons of Florida State was named to the first learn for the second straight year. Also selected to the defensive unit were end E.J. Junior of Alabama, tackles Leonard Mitchell of Houston and Kenneth Sims of Texas, linebackers Mike Singletary of Baylor, Lawrence Taylor of North Carolina and Bob Crable of Notre Dame and punter Rohn Stark of Florida State. Besides Walker, only four other players are underclassmen. Stark, Sims, Foster and Crable all are juniors.

Oilers Edge Steelers 6-0 And Remain Alive By GARY TAYLOR UPI Sports Writer HOUSTON (UPI) Bum Phillips found out he was wrong to have believed "the road to the Super Bowl leads through Piltsburgh," and the realization that it didn't hit him hard. "We will miss not playing them in the playoffs," said the coach of the Houston Oilers.

The last two AFC championship games between the Steelers and the Oilers have become as much a part of his holiday season as turkey and dressing, and he was sincerely saddened when thai possibjlily was virtually eliminated by the Oilers' 6-0 victory Thursday night. "It makes me a little sad to think we may not be playing them in the playoffs, providing we get in," Phillips said. "We're used to seeing them in January. They're a bunch of class guys and we will miss not playing them." With three regular season games remaining for every team except Houston and Pittsburgh, it cannot be said that the Oilers, 9-5, have clinched a playoff berth or the Steelers, 8-6, have been eliminated. Steelers linebacker Jack Lambert said it was "100 to 1" he would not be playing for a fifth Super Bowl ring this season.

Two Toni Fritsch field goals in Ihe second half were all Ihe Oilers mustered following a scoreless first half which dragged by like a dying armadillo. "It was a great game," said Steelers head coach Chuck Noll, "if you appreciate defense." Phillips was so impressed with the Steelers last season he said "the road to the Super Bowl leads through Pittsburgh." Despite a number of Steelers injuries this season, Phillips still believes that to be true. Steelers personnel losses in the offensive line were crucial Thursday night as a strong Oilers pass rush sacked quarterback Terry Bradshaw three times and caused him to throw three interceptions. "I 'feel like I let the team down," he said. Bradshaw added the noise level in the Astrodome was so great he failed to call a single audible during the game.

Noll said the loss, which could keep the Steelers from the playoffs for the first time in nine seasons, was nothing more than an "interruption" in the Steelers' NFL domination. Phillips agreed. "I don't think you can say we ended a dynasty," he said. "Those people never can be counted down." Steelers defensive end Joe Greene said he would remember the team's proud string of 113 games in which they scored instead of the loss than ended "1 can stand it," he said. "It's not frustrating at all.

We had a stranglehold on this division for a long time and if we're going to lose it, I'd be damned proud of the way we lost it." To Earl Campbell, the Oilers' NFL-leading running back, the victory meant "a lot of housenotes for a lot of guys." He was referring lo the extra playoff money the Oilers would receive if they can defeat their remaining two opponents, the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. The game was as even as it could have been, except for the turnovers. Pitlsburgh outgained the Oilers 278 to 268 yards and generaled 18 firsl downs to the Oilers'13. The Steelers failed to take advantage of Iheir two scoring opportunities. On the first, Bradshaw was intercepted by safety Mike Reinfeldt in the Oilers' end zone.

On the second, Matt Bahr was wide right on a 42-yard field goal attempt. nn i Rebuilding lulsa Upsets Louisville By FRED LIEF UPI Sports Wriler Junior college basketball came out of the bushes Thursday nighl. The University of Tulsa, composed largely of last year's JC championship team Western Texas delivered the first shocker of the college season with a 68-60 victory over defending NCAA champion Louisville. "We wanted this more than any game we'll play all year," said Tulsa's David Brown, who scored 15 points in clipping the third-ranked Cardinals. "We wanled lo prove to ourselves we could play with the big boys." Tulsa's first-year Coach Nolan Richardson, whose recruiting has taken him through virtually every tumbleweed lown in the South- wesl, was called on lo revive a program at the school that has suffered through five straight losing seasons.

"The players wanted this game very badly," he said. Tulsa went right to the Cardinals, playing rugged defense and taking a 35-32 lead at Ihe half. In Ihe second half, Brown took over but it didn't come without cost. After trading elbows wilh Louisville's Scooler McCray, Wiley Brown bolted off the Cardinals' bench and landed a right hook in Ihe face of the Tulsa forward. David Brown remained in the game; Wiley Brown was ejected; and Louisville was in trouble.

Tulsa clung to a 64-60 lead before David Brown broke loose for a dunk lo give the Hurricane some insurance. Michael Anderson then stole the ball for a layup with nine seconds left, lo ice 11. "Whal can I say? We didn't shoot well or do much of anything right," said Louisville Coach Denny Crum. "I don'l mean to take anything away from Tulsa, but we can't beat anybody with 35 turnovers."
