Reptiles battle back but lose

The Elon College Reptiles
fought back from a three
goal halftime dcHcit against
the Triad lacrosse club only
to lose in sudden death for
the second straight week,
11-10.
“We played sloppy in the
first half,” president of the
club Steve Burke said, “we
warmed up in the third
quarter and came on very
strong offensively in the
fourth quarter.”
The Reptiles were down
by a score of 6-3 at halftime
but in the second half they
changed the offense and
their strategy, according to
coach Scott Montgomery.
“We worked on driving
the ball to the goal,” he
said, “we changed player
positions and started more
fastbreaks.”
The Reptiles caught up to
the Triad in the second half
and from that point on the
lead changed hands several
times. In the sudden death
Elon had two chances to
score but failed and the
Triad scored on their second
opportunity.
Elon was led by attack-
man Peter Lombardi with
three goals, and midHelders
Clark Price, Barry Meredith
and Art Griffin each had
two goals.
Ken Markosky played
goalie in the first h^f and
let up six goals while Jimbo
Ayers came on to play the
position in the second half
and the sudden death allow
ing five goals.
“We were not up for that
game like we were for the
game Saturday,” Burke
said. Emory and Henry did
not show up Saturday but
Elon and their fans were
ready for the first home
game which turned out to be
a forfeit.
“If our defense had play
ed like they had in our
previous games we would
have won.” Burke said,
“their all americans hurt us
when they managed to ^et a
one-on-one situation.”
The Reptiles’ record is
now 1-2 in the conference
and 1-3 overall. Their next
game is the weekend we
come back from spring
break and it should be the
first home game.

One technical fiaw that
can’t be overlooked was the
sound. Too much noise in
too small a room created a
lot of distortion that made it
difficult to understand lyrics

Nebraska—Penn State Kkkoff
Just before the kickoff of the 1983 college football
season, a game will be played between the best two teams
from last season — Nebraska and Perm State. The game
will bring in considerable revenue from broadcasting rights
and people seeking relief from the United States Football
Leaue.
Nebraska accepted the offer without conmient, but Penn
State coach Joe Patemo took the opportunity to express
some of his feelings about the business side of college
football.
Pateraa Speaks Out
In a press conference called to announce the creation of
the late summer contest, Patemo told reporters that some
of the money generated from the game should be given to
the players in the form of tuition money or some other
arrangement. He went on to say that NCAA officials were
going to have to start rewarding the players who, after all,
are the game.
“We just can’t keep taking without putting something
back into the game,” Patemo said.
A Wise Move
There have been many instances in the past when I have
disagreed with Patemo both on and off the field. But he
has always stuck by the players and fought against
professionalism in college football.
I applaud him for pointing out that it is time for the
players to receive some of the benefits of big money college
football. Since money will forever more be a part of the
college game, it is time that the athlete be rewarded rather
then the officials. It is a problem which the NCAA needs to
address before, like in so many other instances, someone
else decides to act for them. Too little of the revenue is
being put back into the colleges.
Many colleges are becoming embittered with the NCAA
over this issue, and there could be serious problems in the
future if something is not done.
The time to act is now.
