"We thought we'd have to score," Perm State coach Joe Pa-temo said afterward. "We worked awfully hard on some things this week." Obviously. You kind of got the feeling that Maryland's football team was in trouble right from the start Saturday, when two of its co-captains showed up for the pre-game eein toss at mldfleld on crutches. Feeling ho compassion at all, though, was Penn State, which piled up 659 yards of total offense, including 526 on the ground. Even though the Terps' 40-polnt-per-game, no-huddle offense received all the acclaim coming into the game, it was the Lions' defense that set the tone once the bell rang.

Boy, did they ever.

After order was restored by officials and police, Perm State did all the damage.

The Red Barons proposal will now go before the Joint-AAA Marketing Committee for final approval today, but no IL recommendation has ever been rejected by the Joint Marketing Commit-tee.

The game will be played Wednesday, July 12. 1995. and will be surrounded by festivities in the days leading up to the event. The vote was held Saturday after two days of discussions by thej IL directors.

The Dallas Mountaineers came to punish people who dared touch the football Saturday. "We're hitting." Dallas defensive back Brian Brady said. "And hitting hard." Nanticoke Area got the message. A ferocious Dallas defense rapped its way to a second straight shutout and paved the way for a pair of touchdowns as the Mountaineers pounded Nanticoke, 29-0.

"Today was a typical Dallas defensive day," Mountaineer coach Ted Jackson said. It took Nanticoke Area three offensive series to produce positive total yardage. Dallas allowed Just 75 yards on the ground and 111 combined yards for the game. And the Mountaineers stretched their string of shutout quarters to eight. It was the third shutout for Dallas in its last four games, and after 20 quarters this year, the Mounts have allowed points in Just four of them.

IN Pennsylvania's archery deer season begins By GEORGE SMITH Times Leader Outdoors Editor WILKES-BARRE A legion of silent hunters clad in camouflage sneaked into nia's October woods when Saturday arrived. Like Native Americans who once roamed Keystone State forests, these hunters were trying to bag a whitetail deer with a bow and arrow. Despite a long autumn archery season that runs from, Oct. 2 through Nov. 13 and a winter season running from Dec.

27 through Jan. 8, bagging a whitetail with a bow won't be as easy as it might seem. Last season, a combined total of 361.224 whitetails were harvested in Pennsylvania. According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, 309.012 archery licenses were issued last year, yet only 25,785 archers took a deer with a bow and arrow. Of that number, 18,958 were ant-lered; 6,827 were antlerless.

Dates to remember October 2: Archery deer season opened. October 16: Early small game season (grouse, squirrel) begins. October 30: Traditional small game season begins. November 22-24: Three-day bear season. November 29-December 11: Antlered deer season.

December 13-15: Antlerless deer season. Game Commission figures indicate that a state record was established last season when more than 300,000 archery licenses were sold. That's more than in any other year. Certainly the state's lengthy archery deer season accounts for this increased interest With this season's total of 49 hunting days designated exclusively for Related stories Page11C Hunting with a bow remains a long-standing tradition in the Keystone State. Pennsylvania's first special bowhuntfng season for whitetails was held 42 years ago, in 1951, and the harvest was limited to antlered deer, In that year, archers reported taking 33 bucks.

The state's archery season regulations did not include the harvesting of a deer of either sex until 1957, when the kill figure jumped dramatically to 1,000 whitetails. That the state Is currently a hotbed of archery activity is well-known; the Game Commission says more than 15 percent of all bowhunters in the nation are licensed in Pennsylvania. Surely the interest in hunting with a bow has been growing throughout the last decade. TIMES LEADERDON CAREY Mora than 300,000 archers entered Pennsylvania's woods when "bow" season opened Saturday to pursue wtiitetailed deer like the one pictured. The archery season will be the longest ever.
