This I faculty re- ' interpreting ln guage ca dis capacity 3 tacilitator’s 45-2486 for Powerful Panthers Pittsburgh, Penn State still major forces among East teams on used GATE -orner From Office United Press International NEW YORK — When a team aherits a new football coach, it pally takes time to adjust to his ihilosophy. In Pittsburgh’s case, lowever, the adjustment should eeased by the fact the Panthers avea bigger goal — a national Jiampionship. With Coach Jackie Sherrill’s lection to Texas A&M, Pitt- ilirgh named defensive coordi- itor Serafino “Foge” Fazio as ead coach. And it looks as if Fazio not illy has the best team in the Xbuta team capable of a per- ect season, despite one its lughest schedules in years. “We have great respect for >ach Fazio,” says Pitt senior uarterback Dan Marino, who irected the Panthers to three traight 11-1 seasons and claims is team now is capable of win ing the title. “He’s been here for five years nd in that time, he’s made our efense the best in the country, iherrill was a great coach for us nit when he left, the rest of the leaching staff stayed. Sure a lew head coach has a different ihilosophy, but when it comes to certain point, it’s the players hat have to go out and win, and think we can.” If Pitt is to make a run at the lational championship, it will be the arm of Marino. Last sea son he completed 226 of 380 passes for 2,876 yards and 37 TDs. And for good measure, he was named MVP of the Sugar Bowl after guiding the Panthers to a last-minute 24-20 victory over Georgia. Also returning from last year’s No. 2 team are 17 other starters. Among that group are wide receivers Julius Dawkins and Dwight Collins and tight end John Brown, who combined to catch 29 TD passes in 1981. Up front, the line is anchored by tackles Jimbo Covert (6- foot5. 275) and Bill Fralic (6-5, If Pitt is to make a run at the national champion ship, it will be on the arm of quarterback Dan Marino. Last season he completed 226 of 380 passes for 2,876 yards and 37 TDs. 270). Bryan Thomas, a 1,000- yard rusher last season, leads the running corps with Marc Bailey and Marlon McIntyre sharing the fullback spot. Defensively, the Panthers must replace linebacker Sal Sun- seri and safety Pappy Thomas. hes both ss depths and and endless itic’s job t out the that rare Movies in town, ^ what r they’re c so you your fll- rve your on yo« r :Mo* Astros recall J.R. rom Tuscon club United Press International HOUSTON — Pitcher J.R. Richard, called up from the minor agues for September, will have to improve his stuff to pitch again the major leagues, Houston Astros General Manager A1 Rosen indicated. The Astros Monday told Richard, who suffered a massive rokein 1980, to report to Houston next week after he goes to the tound Wednesday night for the final season game with Houston’s ucson minor league team. “1 would love to see him pitch, but I just don’t know,” Rosen said oniNew.York, where the Astros played the Mets Monday night. “He was wild his last time out and he is still working on his tiythm. We will have to see how he progresses.” ■ Richard was placed on the major-league roster last September, ut he did not pitch last season because of the pennant race. The Astros’ failure to get him into a game caused the 6-8, 50-pound Richard to lose intensity in his rehabilitation eff ort and areport to spring training this year out of shape. Richard, placed on the Astros’ lowest minor league team, work- dhisway up and now has a good chance to pitch for the first time nee he collapsed July 30, 1980, with a massive stroke. Rosen said Richard would probably pitch batting practice. “The more he throws from the mound to live hitters, the better lewillbe.” Rosen said. “But all of this is up to the pitching coach. It (Richard) still has the same kind of determination he always Behind we felt he deserved the opportunity to come up.” Richard pitched well in Class A minor-league ball, but has not erformed as well with Class-AAA Tucson. In addition to Richard, the Astros also called up pitchers Mark loss, Dan Boone and Zac Paris, infielder Bill Doran and outfiel- ers Scott Loucks and Larry Ray. fbncvt& 696-7311 Tuesday: Veal Parminana $ 7.25 indudes (Salad and Vegetable) Lunch: 11-2 404 Shopping Center East University 300 (0 Dec. 779-' DIETING?

OPEN Monday through Friday 10:45 AM-1:45 PM QUALITY FIRST Otherwise, the Panthers will start the same players as last year when they gave up just 62.4 yards per game rushing to lead the nation. Unlike previous seasons, the Panthers won’t have many breathers during the season. They open at home against North Carolina (Sept. 9) fol lowed by games at Florida State and Illinois. The Panthers also are hosts to Notre Dame (Nov. 6) and close the season at Penn State (Nov. 26). Joe Paterno, with a winning percentage of 81.9 (151-33-1) during his 16-year coaching reign at Penn State, will be hard- pressed to duplicate last year’s 10-2 campaign, which included a 48-14 victory over Pitt and a 26-10 thrashing of Southern Cal in the Fiesta Bowl. Todd Blackledge returns at quarterback and tailback Curt Warner, if he stays healthy, will star on offense. Question marks on the of fensive line and at line backer, coupled with a schedule that includes Nebraska, Alaba ma, Notre Dame and Pitt, may leave the Nittany Lions just short of the Panthers for East honors. West Virginia, 9-3 last year following a 26-6 triumph over Florida in the Peach Bowl, en ters its third season under Coach Don Nehlen. Penn State trans fer Jeff Hostetler should replace Oliver Luck at quarterback and his primary target will be tight end Mark Raugh. On defense, the Moun taineers return nine starters, in cluding linebackers Dennis Fowlkes and Darryl Talley. With Joe Paterno, with a winning percentage of 81.9 (151-33-1) during his 16-year coaching reign at Penn State, will be hard-pressed to du plicate last year’s 10-2 campaign, which in - eluded a 48-14 victory over Pitt and a 26-10 thrashing of Southern Cal in the Fiesta Bowl. its opening game at Oklahoma and, with Pitt and Penn State on the schedule, finishing with eight victories may be a tall order. At Syracuse, new coach Dick MacPherson has problems. Joe Morris, the Orangemen’s alltime leading rusher, quarter back Dave Warner and kicker Gary Anderson are gone — and there are no sure replacements. A record better than .500 will be a success. Navy, also with a new coach in Gary Tranquill, has installed a multiple-T offense to help quar terback Marco Pagnanelli. Seven starters return on defense but just four on offense. The Midshipmen open against Virgi nia and former coach George Welsh before meeting Arkansas and Notre Dame. A fourth bowl bid in the last five seasons seems unlikely. Having suffered his first los ing season (5-6) in nine years at Rutgers, Coach Frank Burns has 16 starters back. The defense will have to carry the Scarlet Knights until Burns gets the offense together. At Temple, five quarterbacks are vying to replace Tink Mur phy — and the winner will have a capable offensive line, but the defense is weak and that could mean disappointment for the Owls.
