Above are three unidentified Behrend basketball players
practicing and looking foward to their first game with
Westminster College. Cubs are facing a tough season.
Wrestlers Anticipate
An Exciting
by Jim. Concelman
Sports Writer
Wrestling Coach Ed (!norato is
experiencing the biggest squad
ever assembled at Behrend.
Typically of past seasons, the
Cubs this year are strong in the
lower anti - miscue weights yet
somewhat shy in the upper
weights.
Captain Larry Fabiiii should
the first wrestler to earn three
varsity letters at Behrend. Along
with a 7-3 record last year,
Fabrizi also competed in the
N.A.I.A. Nationals. Presently
listed at the 142-pound weight
class, Fabrizi could challenge
sophomore Jeff Wolfendale at 134
pounds. Last Year, Wolfendale
also had a 7-3 record and will be a
tough competitor for Fabrizi.
Junior Keith Richardson at 126
pounds, is returning after a 9-1
sophomore season during which
he also made a trip to the
N.A.I.A. Nationals. As a fresh
man, Richardson was Campus
Champion for the New Ken
sington Campus.
According to Coach Onorato,
sophomore Brian Vollant has his
position at 167 pounds pretty well
sewn up. Last year, Vollant had a
6-2-1 record sparked by five falls.
Sophomore Christ Mucciarone on
the other hand will have a host of
fine freshmen to battle to
maintain his position at 158
pounds.
Sophomore Alan Volkman
highlights the heavier weights.
He is described by Coach Onorato
as "one of the hardest and con
scientious workers on the squad."
Onorato also says that Volkman
should be Behrend's most im
proved player adding valuable
strength to the upper weights.
Coach Onorato is quick to point
out that there are no set starters
on the squad, especially in the
lower weights. There are many
excellent freshmen fighting hard
for most positions and Coach'
Onorato feels Behrend could
come up with a few surprises
during the season.
The Outdoor Information Center
If there are a few interested
dorm' students_ the problem of
having hunting weapons on
campus -can be resolved. The
SGA has investigated the
problem but they can not for
mally solve the problem. If there
are a few interested students in
the dorms, contact me with
regard to forming a gun club and
providing storage facilities for
the weapons. This would be
somewhat complicated and
tedious but a feasible solution is
now possible if it is initiated by
interested students.
The hunting season is now well
underway. The last half of the
split duck season started last
Friday. Thus, all small game and
waterfowl are legal game. As far
as duck hunting goes it.should be
reminded that no canvasbacks or
redheads may be taken. This is
particularly important when
hunting on the lake or in the bay.
The daily limit on ducks is four
per day including not more than
two woodducks and two black
ducks. Additionally, a bonus of.
Mat Season
Along with having • the largest
squad ever, Behrend also has its
toughest schedule ever.
Waynesburg, California State and
Edinboro are probably the three
hardest teams. Behrend has ever
faced.
Onorato is happy with the
schedule this year because he
feels it will give his wrestlers a
chance to wrestle some top op
ponents. Because last year's
schedule was not as hard, Coach
Onorato feels that perhaps some
of his wrestlers that went to the
N.A.I.A. Nationals last year were
not very well prepared because'
they saw little tough competition.
Coach Onorato feels that
although the Cubs have perhaps
their most experienced team
ever, they are still young in terms
of four year competition.
Factilty Tests Skills
Of Students-And Win!
by Dr. Barry Weller
Honorary Sports Writer
Two weeks ago the Fighting
Faculty football team
(degraders) made Behrend
sports history by capturing the
Behrend College Intramural
Football championship, thereby
thoroughly embarrassing thir
teen student teams. The iron lung
brigade did it the hard way,
ending the season with a 6 win, 2
loss record in the Commuter
League, sufficient to qualify for
the championship playoffs. The
two regular season losses were
avenged during the playoffs as
the Fighting Faculty humiliated'
the Dirts (Dorm League leaders)
by a score of 18-14, thereby
qualifying for the championship
game against the Space Kadets,
the Commuter League leaders
and the only other team to score a
win over the Aging Athletes.
Amidst rain, hail, and bitter
cold, playing without substitutes,
the Fighting Faculty scratched,
elbowed, tripped and threatened

two scuap may be taken in the
lake and the bay. This year a new
category of ducks has been
established for Pennsylvania;
this is 'the category of seaducks.
These are the oldsquaws, eiders,
and scoters. Seven seaducks may
be taken per day.
You are reminded that little
things such as picking-up your
shotgun shells, asking permission
to hunt on someone else's land,
and reporting violators will in
sure you future hunting.

Behrend Collegian
Cubs Facing A
But Promising
by Jim Concelman
Staff Writer
This season marks the second
year of senior college basketball
for Behrend College with what
Coach Roger Sweeting calls "the
toughest schedule we have ever
faced." Coach Sweeting hopes to
better last year's record of 5-15
with six veterans and a host of
competent freshmen.
Pacing the Cubs this year is
senior guard, Glenn McKinney,
holder of several Behrend
records including most career
points (1276); most points in one
season (574); and best seasonal
scoring average (28.7 points a
game). Last year McKinney
proved he could handle senior
college_ cornpetion by capturing
Behrend's scoring laurels with
17.5 points per game average.
Sharing the guard duties with
McKinney will most likely be
Frank Moorhead, who has been
described by Coach Sweeting as
"Spectacular but often un
steady". Moorhead can run. and
shoot, and he has the quickness to
be an outstanding defender.
According to Sweeting, the
freshman guard contingent is the
strongest ever to arrive at
Behrend. One of the team's best
outside shooters comes from
Altoona high school in the person
of Larry McAleer. Sweeting
describes McAleer as poised
under pressure and confident.
Coach Sweeting states that
freshman guard Larry Yalich
"may be the best passer we've
ever had." Yalich is from Penn
the opposing team to a 20-20
regulation time tie, thus forcing
the Game into overtime.
A series of pressure packed
plays ensued during which vic
tory was literally snatched from
the - jaws of "de feet" as Michel
Small (Instructor in English) was
illegally touched by a student
player, thereby drawing a game
winning penalty.
Regular members of the
Championship winning team were
Clarence (rubber arm) Stoner,
Michel (stone hands) Small, John
Freed, Ed Masteller, Larry
Eckroat, Gary Mead, Dick
Tomsic, and Barry Weller. Seeing
spot duty were Bob Hostetler,
Roger SWeeting, and Charles (the
enforcer) Redenius. Chuck, in
cidentally, set both personal and
team record by necoming the
first faculty member ever
ejected from the game by a
student referee.
Sideline support for the team
took the form of an occasional
appearance by Warren Hohwald,
the team's most loyal (and only)
fan. One widely circulated rumor
concerning Warren's rather
irregular attendance hinted that
he was actually gathering data
for a forthcoming paper on
deviant behavior among the
aging.
The stunning faculty victory
evidently drove COLLEGIAN
Sports Editor Dave Lojewski into
such a state of shock that he
forgot to report on either the
championship playoffs or their
surprising outcome. Judging
from the recent coverage of in
tramural basketball, Dave has
fully recovered.
Congratulations to the faculty
on a fine season.

Hills High • School where he
developed a good sense of team
play.
The Cubs acquired two good
defensive players in Jack Weber
from Cathedral Prep and Jack
Nill from nearby McDowell.
Although both Nil and Weber are
tough, hustling defenders, they do
not generate enough offense but
this could come with experience.
Returning up front is 6'4" Larry
Szaszorek who last year scored,
200 points for the Cubs. Szoszorek
possesses a good outside shot but
more weight would help him
rebound more aggressively and
improve his defensive play away
from the basket.
Szoszorek may be pa ired, with
6'3" Jo e Olszewski , 6'3" Paul
Ruland or 6'4" Jeff Gillette.
Olszewski is described by
Sweeting as a good rebounder
with a strong medium range
jump shot. Ruland uses his head
and his lack of speed is overcome
by constant hustle and good
stamina. Gillette, on the other
hand, has quickness as his
greatest attribute but in
consistency as a liability.
Forward Jim Davis, a 6'3"
freshman from Erie's East high
school will hopefully lend some

much needed board strength to
the Cubs. Davis will receive some
help from rugged 6'4" Fred
Bartnicki who, according to
Sweeting, "has strength, size and
durability around the boards".
Freshman Mike Verschneider
who at 6'5" is the tallest player on
the team, is surprisingly a better
outside scoring threat than inside.
His teammate last year at Ft.
Leßoeuf, Kevin Campbell, has
some strong moves inside and hag'
a proven ability to score.
Sweeting regards Henry David as
"quick and tough enough to be the
best defender on the squad."
Sweeting also feels that David
has outstanding potential.
Coach .Sweeting is of the opinion
that the Cubs are a young team
with a rugged schedule that is
still experiencing the transition
from junior college competition
to senior college competition.
"There is definitely some in
dividual talent available, but how
it will mold together is anybody's
guess. Our own prediction is that
the Cubs may face some anxious
moments early in the year, but
will be capable of providing some
anxious moments for over
confident opponents before the
season's over."
