October 5,1972 Behrend Soccer Team Joins 4-Year Competition Soccer and the Behrend Campus are old friends. The campus has sponsored a team since 1960. However, this season holds a few changes and bright promises in store for the Behrend Cubs. Perhaps the most notable change is in the schedule of op ponents. For the first time Behrend will play teams from other senior or four year schools. The Cubs will participate in the Western Pennsylvania Inter collegiate Soccer Association. Six of the scheduled nine games are against members of the association. This should provide somewhat heavier competition simply for the fact that at four year colleges, players have more experience playing as a team. However, the Behrend squad lacks nothing in the way of ex perience. Returning from last year’s Commonwealth Cham pionship team, eight lettermen make ud the starting line-uo and six more able lettermen provide ample depth from the bench. In a game of constant physical exertion for two 45-minute halves, substitutions are vital to a team’s success. The starting lettermen are: Mike Marsh - captain, Dave Aloiz co-captain, Bill Hildenbrand, John Hoge, Bob Cheerleader Tryouts Held Behrend cheerleading tryouts and “Cub Power” in pairs.

Willey. Jeffrey, Mike Joyce, Roger Noland and Charles Rainey. Three other players complete the starting line-up of eleven. They are: Ed Hunkele, Steve Motycka, and “Sparky” Scheaffer. The team has practiced daily since September ll and Coach Lauffer sees this group of players as the best he’s had. He has been coaching at Behrend for five /ears. “They’ve got a great at titude and confidence in their ability to play the game.” Yet all is not left to this. The team practices one and a half hours each day. They do sprints, en durance running and practice the fundamentals of the sport. This fulfills the Coaches philosophy of “being in shape”. As he put it, “Losing to a better team is un derstandable but losing because of poor conditioning is un forgivable.” As the season opened, on September 28, the team was physically and emotionally keyed up for the contest against Canisius of Buffalo. Unfor tunately, the first half yielded only a 2-1 lead. Substitution op portunities had been few and the starters were quite exhausted. They lacked the spark necessary to maintain the lead in the second half and had to settle for a 3-3 tie. Behrend Collegian However, the second game was quite a different story. The first same nervous energy was ex pended and gave way to sharp, alert play, producing a 12-0 romp over Duquesne. “Scoring twelve points in any soccer match is like scoring 100 points in basketball,” said Coach Lauffer. If you’ve ever watched soccer you’d have to agree with him. So now, as they look forward the season holds its most pressing challenges yet to come. Every team remaining on the schedule will demand the fullest of con centration and endurance on the part of every player. Yet to hear Coach Lauffer talk, it seems likely the Behrend Cubs will perform and work toward that “goal” of championship soccer. Girls Begins Intramurals Intramural sports will soon begin at Behrend. The girls organization is being sponsored by Mrs. Janet Wilson, physical education instructor.
