Q: Are there any other new
sports teams planned for
Behrend in the near future? If
so, what are they and when will
they be formed?
A: It is hoped that when the
multi-sport facility opens in
the fall of 2000, we will be in
the early stages of planning
for a men's and women's
swim team.
Q: Why doesn't Behrend have
a football team? Is one being
discussed for our future?
A: Football has been
discussed for years on the
Behrend campus. At present
budget limitations are the
major drawback in having
this sport on campus. We also
would have to deal with Title
9 issues, in regards to equal
opportunities for men and
women, if this sport was
offered here on campus.

Track and Field coming to Behrend
Many students here at Behrend,
would like to see and participate in
more athletic events. The new
Varsity sports that students would
like to see here include: hockey,
football, wrestling, fencing, and
track and field. Julie Davis, 05
Accounting, stated, "The students
from Behrend would benefit from
having a track and field team."
In the Spring of 1999 track and
field will be a varsity sport, and will

be a club this spring. According to
John Drew, cross country coach,
"The ideal situation for this Spring
will be to identify &Mall groups of
people interested in similar events
that will work together as mini
teams." The events that students
can participate in include: sprints,
hurdles, distance runs, jumps and
throws. Many of the events are
designed for both men and women
to compete in. Practice for the
events will be held once or twice a
week at a local high school. Other
forms of practices can be done on

Senior center Steve Hout had a
huge game for the Behrend men's
basketball team, helping the team
to a 78-69 win against Alfred
University. His performance also
earned him the Housing and Food
Services Athlete of the Week
Award.
Hout poured in 21 points for the
Lions during Tuesday nights' win.
The win moved Behrend's record
to 3-1.
"He was a man on a mission, that
was the best I've seen him play,"
said sophomore teammate John
Park.
Not only did the senior score for
the Lions he also played a big part
in the teams rebounding and
defense.

Behrend will not host any track
meets. The schedule includes meets
at Carnegie-Melon, Slippery Rock,
and Grove City. John Drew said,
"Last Spring two men and women
qualified for the NCAA Mideast
regional meet in Philadelphia. I
expect at least this many will
qualify again. The only drawback
of being a club is that if anyone
qualifils for Nationals they won't
be able to go."

Hout grabbed 11 rebounds, four
offensive, and had a steal while
holding last year's Pennsylvania
Athletic Conference player of the
year, Dan Yeager, to just one point
and three rebounds.
"He played like a man possessed.
He was all over the place on both
ends of the floor," said fellow big
man Nate Willson.
Hout made eight of 11 shoots
from the floor and five of nine free
throws to record his career high 21
points. Eleven rebounds was also
a career high for the senior.
"I was disappointed with my
performance in the first three
games and was looking for a
turnaround. It was nice to come
out and play well," said Hout.
Hout and the rest of the Lions will
return to action Saturday afternoon
at 3:00 pm. Behrend will be
looking to avenge their only loss
of the year when they face the
Tomcats from Thiel College.
Many students have already
shown interest in participating in
Track and Field. "I think that any
program that the athletic
department adds would be a benefit
to our school." stated Chemistry
major Angela Hudak.
For further information, student
athletes should stop by John Drew's
office in Erie Hall, preferably
before the semester break. Students
can also call him at extension 6239,
or email him at jad2o@psu.edu.
