"We have no glaring weaknesses or strengths," Stewart comments. "This team is as dedicated as any I've had and takes a very business like approach to the sport. They treat it as a job and that's good as long as they like their The Trojans will field a young squad this season.

The roster of 28 varsity candidates includes eight seniors, five juniors and bumper crop of 11 sophomores and four freshmen. "Our lineup could be dominated by underclassmen. Most are unproven at the varsity level, but have good junior high backgrounds and should give us decent knowledgable balance," Stewart says. "It will be a challenging and interesting season. We lost a lot of kids who were with us for a long time and some had a family background in the sport which made things a bit easier." Mount Union must replace seven regulars (Mike Grove, Larry White, John Shugarts, Marc Aurand, Bill Stidfole, Dale Brown and Ron Helton) who combined for an overall record of 87 40 3 while leading the Trojans to an 8 -1 1 campaign a year ago.

During the four years they were with the Mount Union mat program, the Trojans churned out a sparkling dual meet record of 49 3 -1. Helton led the Trojans with 22 wins last season and reached the PIAA Tournament before being eliminated. Stewart emphasizes that there's a lot of potential from the seven lettermen who return. The ve.ts include seniors Bill Myers (119), Winsor Eveland (132) and Larry Ernest (145), junior Greg Beeler (138) and sophs Darrell Beckwith (105), Eric Stewart (112) and Pete Swanger(167). Ernest was 15 6 a year ago, Beeler 12 8, Eveland 8-6-1, Myers 10 8, Stewart 10 9, Swanger 7 8 and Beckwith 6-0.

Stewart was the only freshman to compete in the District Six, Class AA Tournament. Among the non lettermen candidates are seniors Joe Dinardi (119), Kevin Varner (138), Todd Speck (167), Brian Brown (185) and Leroy Carbaugh (185); juniors Terry McMullen (112), Sam Mansberger (132), Tim Sunderland (132) and Cory Shumaker(185). Also, sophomores John Sarra (119), Ron Uttley (112), Dave Whitsel (112), Drew Mease (105 112), Sheridan Collins (126), Gary David (138), Pete Pagano (167) and Mike Beeler (185); and freshmen Robert David (98), Thad Stewart (126), Matt Kitting (145) and John Alexander (155). "This is the first time since I've been head coach there that we have no depth in the lighter weights. We'll still have to battle the depth problem in the upper weights," Stewart explains.

"Our weights are already pretty much adjusted. I'm pleased with the efforts of the boys to make weights. Being ready so early is an unusual situation and attributes to the dedication of the "We have somewhat of a tradition to maintain and it puts a little extra pressure on the boys. We face a tougher schedule this year and we'll do it with a lot of new boys in the lineup." The Trojans were to have opened Dec. '6 against Johnstown, but that match had to be cancelled when Johnstown dropped the sport for this year due to lack of participation.

The Trojan debut will now be the second annual Mount Union Quadrangular Tournament Dec. 8 when the Trojans compete against Shamokin, Everett and Milton Hershey. The card includes a quadrangular at Bellefonte and the Lewistown Panther Club Tournament as well as 11 dual meets. Stewart goes into his ninth year with an 80 23 1 coaching mark. Ron Smith is the junior varsity assistant, newcomers Dan Brown and Dave Hummel work with the junior high and Rick Wilson supervises the elemtnary intramural program.

Tar Heels Smash Inexperienced Foe By TONY FA VIA Sports Writer North Carolina Coach Dean Smith was happy about his seventh-ranked Tar Heels' victory Monday night, but he also took the opposition into account. "We played the best game we have played this year," Smith said.

"Of course our people are more experienced than the South Florida team. They are made up mostly of sophomores and that can hurt." Al Woods scored a career-high 34 points in North Carolina's 93-62 romp. South Florida held the lead only briefly, at 12-8, when Tony Grier hit a layup early in the game. The Tar Heels retaliated with six unanswered baskets to take a lead they never relinquished. The Tar Heels are now for the season wbjle the Bulls, took their first loss, falling to North Carolina opened up late in the first half to grab a 44-28 lead at intermission.

The Bulls rallied in the second half but the closest they came was 10 points with 12:22 left in the game. "We had it handed to us tonight," said South Florida Coach Chip Conner. "They played some great ball and are just so consistent. We were not consistent. In other games involving top teams, fourth-ranked Notre Dame topped Iowa State, 8777, No.

5 LSU routed New Orleans, 104-78, ninth-rated Purdue downed Butler, 83-60, Virginia defeated Randolph- Macon, 76-55, Oral Roberts upset Kansas, 75-72, and Arkansas beat Centenary, 6553. Notre Dame upped its season record to 2-0 over first- time foe Iowa State. Except for a brief moment in the early going, Coach Digger Phelps 1 Fighting Irish never trailed in the contest. Their biggest lead was 16 points late in the second half. Willie Sims, Dwayne Scales and Durand Mackland scored 20 points each in LSU's victory over cross-state rival New Orleans.

Larry Robinson says it's just the other Way around. "You have to keep up with the rest of the league," the allstar defenseman said Monday night, after scoring a goal and two assists to lead the four-time defending Stanley Cup champions to a 3-3 tie with, the New York Rangers. "It's obvious that the rest of the league is stronger," Robinson continued, explaining how the Canadiens are reacting to the new 21- Jeam NHL. "We don't play other teams often enough to adjust to their style, so we have to play well every night." Robinson scored a first- period goal to tie the score, 11, then set up power-play goals 35 seconds apart in the second to vault Montreal into a 3-2 lead.

He played his usual dominating game on defense despite a spunky Ranger offense. He impressed Steve Baker, 22, the Ranger rookie who seems to be playing his way into the No. 1 goaltending spot. "Boy, that goal by Robinson was something," Baker said. "He got it away so fast after receiving the pass.

I figured, 'Well, this is it, welcome to the They have guys who can shoot the puck." Baker handled most of the shots Montreal fired his way, including a first-period, pointblank attempt by Guy Lafleur and a second-period semibreakaway by Steve Shutt. Baker's eagerness seems to be rubbing off on his teammates, who are battling out of their slump to play respectable defensive hockey. Warren Miller scored his first goal as a Ranger to give New York a 1-0 lead. Phil E.sposito later made it 2-1, then tied the score at 3-3. The Rangers might have won the first Madison Square Garden meeting between the clubs since the Stanley Cup finals were it not for a two- man disadvantage in the second period.

With New York leading, 2-1, Ranger captain Dave Maloney was penalized for holding. The Rangers killed 64 seconds of that penalty, then Ron Greschner was called for hooking. Montreal responded with Lafleur's 22nd goal and Pierre Larouche's 18th. "The two penalties changed the complexion of the game," said Baker. "The second one didn't have to be called." Montreal Coach Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoff rion appeared satisifed with the tie, which left the Canadiens with a .500 road record at 4-4-5.

"No team in the NHL is going to to into an arena and come out with an automatic two points," he said. "I'd rather gel out of here with one than none. I'm more than pleased." Tide Is Solid In 1st Place half, LSU, 2-0, increased its lead to 31 points at 86-55 with more than six minutes to play. Center Joe Barry Carroll scored 27 points for Purdue, which raced to a 16-0 lead as Butler went scoreless for nearly the first six minutes of the game. The Boilermakers stretched the lead to 41-29 at halftlme.

Freshman Ralph Sampson pumped in 23 points and Garland Jefferson added 16 more as Virginia used an llpoint burst to blow past Randolpb-Macon and win its third game of the season. Oral Roberts forward Calvin Garrett and guard Gary "Cat" Johnson combined for 37 points to lead the Titans. Johnson scored 19 on four field goals and free throws. Junior guard U.S. Reed ignited a second-half flurry for Arkansas against tough Centenary, for a 32-31 halftime lead- Arkansas then scored six straight In the second half to pad the margin.

By IRA KAUFMAN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) Alabama, which extended its winning streak to 20 games Saturday with a tense 25-18 victory over Auburn that propelled the Crimson Tide into the Sugar Bowl, remained the solid choice as the nation's No. 1 team in UPI's final regular-season college football, ratings showed today. The Tide, who trailed in the fourth quarter for the first time this season, rallied behind quarterback Steadman Shealy to cap an 11-0 regular season and clinch the Southeastern Conference title. Alabama received 22 first- place votes and 426 overall points from the 29 coaches participating in the ratings. The final ratings from the UPI Board of Coaches will be announced after all the major bowl games are over.

Southern California and Ohio State, both idle, remained second and third, respectively, and Florida Stale moved up a notch to No. 4, changing places with Oklahoma, now fifth. Houston, Arkansas, Nebraska, Brigham Young and Pittsburgh round out the top 10 as Texas faded from the top 10, after being upset by Texas 137. The Trojans, NHM, picked up four first-place votes and 393 points as they prepare to meet Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Charles White, the Trojans' latest in a long line of talented tailbacks, was a runaway winner Monday of the 45th Heisman Trophy, emblematic of the nation's outstanding college football player.

Ohio State, 11-0, received the remaining three first- place ballots and 377 points. Florida State, U-o, which will play Oklahoma In the Orange Bowl, picked up 326 points for fourth and the Sooners received 308 points for No. 5. Houston, 10-1, moved up three notches to sixth with 275 points after trouncing Rice, 63-0, Saturday to earn a share of the Southwest Conference title with Arkansas and a Cotton Bowl berth against Nebraska. The idle Razorbacks, 10-1, picked up 238 points to remain seventh and will meet Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

Nebraska, 10-1, remained eighth with 236 points and Brigham Young moved up one spot to No. 9 with 223 points. The Cougars, 11-0, will meet Indiana in the Holiday Bowl. Pittsburgh, 10-1, beat Penn State, 29-14, Saturday to move up one notch to No. 10 with 192 points and will play Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl.

Coaches Comer, 7 p.m. out of Peters' mouth when offers began pouring in from Kansas City, St. Louis and California. It probably is only the beginning. Kansas City has made the best offer thus far, putting up outfielder Al Cowens and lefthanded pitcher Paul Splittorff.

If the Orioles accept, they most likely will have to part with either reserve infielder Billy Smith or outfielder Gary Roenicke. While California hasn't yet put together an attractive enough package, the Cardinals have a promising young catcher, Terry Kennedy, the Orioles covet. Palmer, who makes $265,000 a year for Baltimore, is seeking a five-year $3.5 million contract and the Royals appear willing to meet that price. There was only one minor trade completed Monday the Chicago White Sox sent reserve catcher Bill Nahorodny to the Atlanta Braves for minor-league pitcher Rick Wieters. Nahorodny, 26, gives the Braves the extra catcher they have needed since Biff Pocoroba not expected to return this season injured his shoulder last year.

In another move Monday, the Montreal Expos bolstered an already strong pitching staff by signing 37-year-old lefthander Fred Norman as a free agent. Norman pitched last season with Cincinnati and posted an 11-13 record. Seven major league clubs used the draft of minor-league personnel to strengthen their rosters at a cost of $25,000 per player. Minnesota led the way by drafting three players, including two pitchers from the Reds' Indianapolis farm team. The Twins chose slick- fielding shortstop Guy Sularz from Phoenix and pitchers David Moore and Douglas Corbett of Indianapolis.

Other players chosen were third baseman Mike Macha of Richmond (by Toronto), outfielder Andres Mora of Rochester (by Cleveland), third baseman Esteban Castillo of Springfield (by Kansas City), pitcher Alfredo Martinez of Tidewater (by California) and outfielder Mark Brouhard of Salt Lake City (by Milwaukee). Prior to the draft, baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn gave his annual "state of the union" address and painted a rather bleak picture of baseball's financial situation. "The bottom A clubs in baseball lost on the average of $2 million a club in 1978," said Kuhn. "More than half our clubs are in a lost position." Kuhn indicated talks between the owners and the players over a new basic agreement were proceeding smoothly and he doubted there would be any threats of a lockout or a strike during spring training. "I'm optinjistic a settlement can be reached and I'd say the pobability of any work stoppage is remote," said Kuhn.

WVU Fans Applaud Cignetti MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (UPI) A rousing ovation from 400 fans greeted fired West Virginia University football coach Frank Cignetti at the annual banquet of the Morgantown Touchdown Club banquet. Cignetti, who failed to produce a winning team in four years, made his final appearance as head coach at the Sunday banquet. His reception visibly affected him. "It really has been a privilege and a pleasure to have been the head coach here," Cignetti said.

"I am proud of it and my family is proud of it." Cignetti, who is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, said the 1979 season was probably his most enjoyable in 19 years of coaching. "I have had good days and some tough days," he said, "but it was great watching this team become cohesive and come together during the season." Awards were presented to two senior captains of the Mountaineers football squad Jerry Holmes and Jim Himic. Holmes, a defensive back, was presented the Ira Errett Rodgers Award as the WVU player who "has shown high leadership and academic qualities as well as football performance." Himic, an offensive guard, was given the John Russell Award as the lineman who demonstrated "the best spirit and leadership on the team." Poca High School senior Bill Legg was honored as the state high school Player of the Year. Legg played center on offense and defensive tackle. TORONTO (UPI) Randy Schafer, a 25-year-old catcher, was acquired by the Detroit Tigers Monday from Montreal to complete the deal that sent Rusty Staub to the Expos last July.
