Walsh Gets Higher
Out Rebounds Cubs

"Ah-GMY
"Ah-Huh," I commented to
myself after a quick glance at the
program I had just stolen from
the girl in front of me, "They
don't have anyone over 6'3". We
might even win tonight."
I don't know why I became so
naive all of a sudden perhaps the
thought of the post-game party
clouded my mind. Maybe it was
because I was sitting behind the
cheerleaders, I don't really know.
I do know that last Saturday the
Walsh College Cavaliers, sans big
guy, defeated the Cubs 75-67. I
also know that I liked Walsh's
style-they had class.
Actually, Walsh's style of play
was very simple. They were very
quick and they could jump very
high. Let me re-phrase that:
They could jump very high and
they were very quick. There is no
simpler way to put it.
But old Doc Sweeting did his
homework rather well. He put the
Cubs into a 1-3-1 defense that was
very impressive. He had speed up
front in Jack Nill, Jack Weber or
Frank Moorhead, he clogged up
the middle with Jim Davis, Jeff
Gillette and Larry Szoszorek and
he put his play making guard
Larry McAleer under the boards.
What this strategy did was to
match speed for speed up front,
take away the drive or.inside shot
and provide excellent screening
on rebounds.
Of course defense is only half
the game, and Sweeting knew his
team would be up against a torrid
full court press. Dr. Sweeting also
knew a series of good sharp
passes could beat that press and
Dr. Sweeting had that series lined
up well.
With all. these preparations,
why did Behrend lose? Analyzing
the cummulative statistics,
Behrend averages 67 points per
game. Cub opponents average n
points per game. The score of last
Saturday's game was Walsh - 75,
Behrend-67. The Cubs played only
an average game.
The same old problem of re
bounds once again was the Cubs'
down fall. Behrend did a fine job
of forcing Walsh to attempt
outside shots. The Cubs did a fair
job of grabbing defensive
rebounds, but fair wasn't good
enough considering the Cubs got
only 6 offensive rebounds.
The Cubs had trouble as usual
in the shooting department.
Although they shot well, 45 per
cent in both halves as opposed to
a 39 per cent average on the
season, they were still forced to
rely on the long outside shot of
Jack Nill who had 18 points for
the Cubs and played an excellent
game all around. Jeff Gillette
checked in with 10 points and 9
rebounds and he has shown
steady improvement from the
first games_
The Cubs' next home game is
January 29 against Grove City.
Behrend is beginning to play
some exciting basketball as they
near the middle of the season.
There were many excited fans at
last Saturday's game but Erie
Hall was no where near capacity.
By the way, the cheerleaders
were great, the party was fan
tastic and I gave the girl back her
program.

The score stood 17-9 with
Behrend's Cubs behind. What the
score doesn't reflect is the
ferocity and spirit that Cub
grapplers threw against a
superior Waynesburg College.
The Waynesburg coach spent
many anxious, yelling, ap
prehensive moments near the
mat, cajoling and encouraging his
matmen to the slim victories they
won.
Things started out well for the
Cubs as Alir Carter conquered
Waynesburg's Jim Miranda 9-3 in
the 118 lb. division. The first
period had each contestant
testing each other out. Carter was
the first to score on "a takedown
and the score at the end of the
first period was 2-0 in favor of
Carter. In the second period,
Carter's dominance slowly
surfaced as he took a 44 lead.
The 'third period saw Carter's
preponderant strength and
balance secure a 9-3 victory.
A tight battle took place at 126
lbs. between Behrend's Greg
Wozniak and Waynesburg's Tom
Walter. At the end of two periods,
Wozniak held a slight 1-0 edge.
Superior condition payed off for
Walter in the third period as he
was able to hold on to a 4-2 lead
which gave him the victory.
At 134, Larry Fabrizi wrestled
Paul Hoover who placed fourth in

Behrend's Fred Bartnicki goes up for a rebound against a
tough Walsh offense. Walsh won the contest 75-67, with
superior quickness and excellent rebounding. The Cubs used
the 1-3-1 defent.e that seemed very impressive. The next
scheduled home game is January 29, when the Cubs are up
against Grove City.

the NAIA last year. Although
Fabrizi was pinned with 1:39
remaining in the second period,
the score was even 6-6 and only
seconds before, Fabrizi had
Hoover's shoulders dangerously
close to the mat befire being
reversed into the pipping com
bination.
Behrend's Kevin Yendell
wrestled tall Dan Barnickle at
142. Barnickle was quick to use
his height as an advantage in his
7-2 victory. Yendell seemed to
lack the spirit and aggressivness
that was a characteristic of the
rest of the Cub squad as Bar
nickle was on top and in control
most of the latter two' periods.
What few mistakes Barnickle
made, Yendell quickly took
advantage of gaining two escapes
but no reversals.
Once again Ashley Swift
provided Behrend fans not only
with a 10-5 win, but with highly
spirited aggressive wrestling.
Although Swift lead the whole
way, there were a few moments
when he was forced to rely on
what he calls "GRRRR". That's
right—"GRRRR". It seems that
"GRRRR" is used at times when
submission is the only apparent
consequence. "GRRRR" entails
gritting ones teeth, forming a

forboding look on ones face and
wrestling like hell. I might add
that it seems to work.
Vollant remained un
defeated at 167 when he beat
Waynesburg's Al Minella 6-4.
Vollant typified Behrend grap
plers with his spirited, almost
frantic wrestling. Several
judgement calls by the ref that
deprived Vollant of points, plus 3
stalling fouls aginst Minella gave
Vollant added impetus to his win.
Mike Mucciarone, who usually
wrestles 158, met Waynesburg's
Robin Rembold at 117. The
weight difference was too great
for Mucciarone who wrestled
admirably but lost to the stodgy
Rembold 8-3. Jim Tracy and Alan
Volman were merely victims of
superior Waynesburg rnatmen,
Tracy losing at 158 to John Mitsch
7-3 and Volkman succumbed to
Waynesburg's Nevan Gochpour
at 1901bs.
All Behrend matmen wrestled
with spirit and enthusiusm that
was transferred to the near
capacity crowd. What it comes
down to is that it appears there is
an abundance of "GRRR" here at
Behrend.
