Nine Quakers selected for Ivy Epson Bowl

Compiled by DP Sports Staff Cornell, like the Quakers, had a leading nine players selected for the Epson Bowl team. Princeton will send five players, followed by Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth and Yale with four. Three Harvard athletes were chosen. The group, led by Penn's Bushnell Cup-winning linebacker Pat Goodwillie, is scheduled to leave the United States Jan. 2 and will spend several days practicing and touring cultural sites. The trip is intended to be a reward and an educational experience for student-athletes who have made significant commitments to their schools and the League over the past four years. Representing Penn in addition to Goodwillie are defensive stalwarts Michael "Pup" Turner, Jamie Daniels, Kevin DeLuca and Chris Johnson. DeLuca's presence on the somewhat of a mystery considering he still has another year of eligibility in West Philadelphia. On offense, Terrance Stokes, Andy Glockner, Mike Teller and Pete Giannakoulis will make the trip. Almost all of the Penn players received first-team all-Ivy honors this season, while leading Penn to its second consecutive undefeated Ivy League championship. Wide receiver Leo Congeni and defensive tackle J.C. Lee were mysteriously absent from the elite group. Both had spectacular seasons for the Quakers. Last year's Ancient Eight team destroyed its Japanese counterparts by a 31-14 margin -- even without the services of Princeton tailback Keith Elias who had other obligations and chose not to make the trip. In prior years, the Ivy team has prevailed by 47-10, 24-0 and 68-3 scores. The 1990 game took place in Yokohama Stadium, while the Tokyo Dome has hosted the event for the past three years. To ensure another victory, the League is sending one cheerleader from each school to take part in the experience and root on their classmates. Penn's cheerleading representative is Sandy Benemerito.
