And so, the colorful history
of junior college soccer at
Behrend comes to a great
finish. This year's team was
one of the most exciting
athletic squads ever to
'represent Behrend. After the
few rosses they sustained, the
players worked harder and
were tough enough to bounce
back. So, to Coach Lauffer
and his entire squad, we
would like to say
congratulations and thank you
for their great efforts this
season.
Cagers Hard At Work;
Tough In Scrimmages
by Tom Harvey
Sports Reporter
The Behrend hoopsters par
ticipated in two scrimmages
against Mercyhurst and Alliance
last week and on the whole, Coach
Roger Sweeting was pleased with
the performance of his charges.
Although an official score was 'not
kept, statistics were recorded of
the Cub's performance, giving
Sweeting a yardstick with which
to judge his players.
"I was extremely pleased with
what we learned in the Mer
cyhurst scrimmage," com
mented Coach Sweeting, "we
were exposed to good defensive
pressure and I think the scrim
mage did us a lot of good. On
Saturday we were able to apply
some defensive pressure and we
were also able to run our of
fensive patterns against Alliance
as I had hoped we would do."
Chris Gross, Calvin Fleming,
and Glenn McKinney showed
outstanding talent at Thursday's
Mercyhurst scrimmage.
Sweeting stated: "Statistically
Chris Gross had by far the out
standing effort. Fleming also had
a good workout. Mercyhurst's
Coach Fox was impressed with
the work of Glenn McKinney."
Dennis Deiner turned in a
tremendous performance against

Basketball
Begins Play
Intramural basketball started
this week and a record 24 teams
are participating.
The league is split. into- _two
divisions, consisting of the dorm
division and the commuter
conference. The commuter teams
play on Tuesday night while the
dorm squads vie on Thursdays.
Tuesday opened the commuter
competition and thus far the
teams to beat in that conference
appear to be Daffy's Dunkers and
the Bud Brigade. Daffy's
Dunkers won by a score of 76-18,
and the Brigade demolished their
opponent 90-13.

Last Wednesday afternoon the
Behrend Arena was the scene of
pandemonium and disap
pointment, as the Trojan Rubber
Co. defeated the Bud Brigade 36-
18.
The game was titled "Battle of
the Mouths" as opposing quar
terbacks Al Lopus from the TRC
and Dave Ruef from the Bud
Brigade had been at each other's
throats since the season began
five weeks ago. The "Mouths"
finally met in the championship
game but all Ruef received for
his verbal efforts was big fat foot.
Unfortunately, Al has
mononucleosis and will not give
the TRC writeup until-a later
date.
Ruef pulled a Craig Morton
choke in the final game as five of
his aerials were picked off and
four of them were run back for
touchdowns.
The Bud Brigade, perhaps the
classiest team at Behrend with
their famous Bud T.:shirts, had a
long hard road to climb to reach
the championship game. On
Monday they defeated the
Mystics to gain a tie in their
division. On Tuesday the Bud
Brigade defeated the Commuting
Commands's 30-12 to win the
Commuter Division. But three
days in a row proved unlucky, as

during the soccer season.
Coach Sweeting summed up the
progress to date by commenting:
"We are making the type of
progress that we expect to make
and things are shaping up pretty
well. We still have a lot of work to
do to play as a team and there's
no doubt in my mind that when it
comes time for the - first ball
game, we'll be respectable."
the TRC put an end to the Bud
Brigade's dream.
The offensive unit was led by
Tom "True Blue" Harvey who
led the team with 30 receptions
and 8 touchdowns. Mike "Hands"
Wolf was second in scoring with 5
td's and 18 receptions. "Dapper'?
Dan Porath was next with 2 td's
and 24 grabs. Glynn "Hero"
Chase scored 3 td's and had 12
receptions. Chasbo also led the
team in rushing with over 200 yds.
Dandy Don "I'm open over the
middle" Raydo had 6 receptions
and 1 td. And finally, player
Coach Ray "Bumble Bee"
Majewski had 6 receptions and
scored 2 touchdowns.
Quarterback Dave "JC" Ruef
finished the year completing 99 of
147 passes for a 67 per cent
completion mark and 22 touch
downs passes. Eight of his passes
were intercepted.
The "Doomsday" defense of
the Bud Brigade was led by the
fearsome front line of Mike Wolf
and Bob "Turkey" Trost. The
corps of bruising linebackers
include Tony "Contact" Alo,
Frank "Cruel" Carlson, and Tom
"Dirty" Danowski. The stingy
secondary was led by Tim "Ever
ready" Everett and- Tom "The
Rat" Wright.

Coach Herb Lauffer has named
two athletes to receive this
week's "Athlete of the Week"
honor: Jim Channas, who scored
two goals and added an assist,
and Ed Moore, who turned away
nine Ogontz shots in the big
commonwealth campus cham
pionship win.
Channas becomes the first
repeater in this series with Moore
being so honored for the first
time.
Lauffer said of Channas: "If I
had to select a most valuable
player for the Ogontz game, it
would be Jim Channas. He played
one of his better games all year
and he scored our first and fourth
goals." Channas added two
Behrend records to his ever in
creasing laurels. He scored a
total of 25 goals in his Behrend

Hockey Madness
by Pam Babcock
Sports Reporter
November is a sort of never
never land for sports. The foot
ball season is almost over, the
basketball season has almost
begun, and the cold, cold snow
has everyone wishing it were
baseball season again.
There is only one sport that
combines the animal confusion of
football and the gracefulness of
basketball at the price of a
baseball ticket - ice hockey. Good
ol' ice hockey - the game where
men glide gallantly across the ice
until they can get close enough to
their opponent to clobber him !
Hockey players are incredible.
They skate with the skill of any
Ice Capades heroine - I mean
hero - and fight like brutes. A
hockey game is really exciting to
watch, and easy to understand.
Remember when I told you
soccer was like hockey on grass?
Well, hockey is like soccer on ice,
but this time we have a hockey
puck instead of a ball and a great,

career and scored a total of 13
this season.
Ed Moore played tremendous
soccer all season according to
Coach Lauffer. "He's been our
regular starting goalie for the
past two seasons," commented
Lauffer. "I felt that all year long
he just did a super job. We had 24
goals scored against us in 11
games. Last year in 10 games we
had 45 goals scored on us, and I
think our defense is much better
and much smarter this season.
There are many factors for this
and one of them is Ed Moore who
day in and day out turned in his
usual fine effort."
The Cubs finished the season
with a 7-4 record and the Com
monwealth Campus cham
pionship under their belt. Coach
Lauffer and the entire, team
deserve much credit for the
soccer honors brought to
Behrend.
big stick to kill each other with.
Anyway, it's really something to
see guys who are brutes from the
knees up and ballerinas the rest
of the way gliding all over the ice
and maiming each other while
playing the game of "Puck, puck,
who's got the puck ? -
The object of the game is the
same as soccer - get the puck into
the opponent's goal. But - since
the feet have to be used for
skating instead of kicking as in
soccer, the great, big stick is used
to hit the puck. (Nice way to
justify the great, big stick that
often turns into a weapon in pro
games - don't you think? ).
Next time you make it to a
hockey game and see the screens
separating the players from the
payers. you'll know why. Just
because it may look like the
hockey players are animals
caged in a zoo, you'll know that
your first impressions were
wrong and the real reason is to
protect the fans from the fights.
