Tennis Schedule Very Heavy
Team Overly "Aggressive"
by Jim Coucelman
Staff Writer
Behrend's season record
slipped to 2-5 last weekend as the
tennis squad lost two and won
one, playing three matches in
three days.
Thursday, the Cubs paddled
Alliance 9-0 in their second shut
out of the season. Friday, the
Cubs hosted a superior Edinboro
team and were shutout 0-9.
Saturday saw the Cubs losing in
Ohio to Malone 1-8.
So far this year, the Cubs have
either won big or lost big. The
reason for this, according to
Coach Lauffer, is simply that
there is a large difference in
ability between the various
teams in the district. However,
Lauffer thinks this situation wi ll
change. "I would be surprised if
more than one of those remaining
matches is 9-0."
A good indication concerning
the rest of the season occurred
last Saturday at Malone.

The Commonwealth Campus
Swimming Championships
proved very successful to
Behrend College last Saturday
with record-breaking times in
both the men's and women's
competition,
Behrend men racked up a total
of 75 points for first place with
Ogontz at 56 points taking a
second place and McKeesport
with 52 points at third. Hazelton's
28 points put them fourth in a six
team field.
In distaff swimming Behrend
took Hazelton 58-55 in an eight
team field with Ogontz at 51 and
McKeesport at 30 points and
fourth place.
Behrend's men's 200 freestyle
relay team blazed to a record of
1:37.72. Those who participated
were Gary Moras, Danny
O'Leary, Larry Matz and Chris
Messenkoff. Matz won the 100-
yard freestyle in 55.58 and came

Tournament
Last Saturday
Although the team lost 1-8, there
were four matches that went to
three sets. Behrend was close but
not close enough.
Playing three matches in three
days may seem to be a -for
midable task but Lauffer didn't
feel any real disadvantage from
it. "It's a matter that you have to
get used to it." Lauffer also
pointed out that Thursday and
Friday's matches were both
shutouts and therefore short in
duration.
"The thing that has hurt us so
far is that we're trying to play
aggressive tennis. We have to be
more selective." By selective
Lauffer means better "per
centage tennis" which in turn
means playing for the best shot.
At times it is better to play the
base line instead of rushing the
net and hitting a poor volley.
Half the problem has been
solved, due to the prevailing
attitude of the team. "Their
attitude has been great" Lauffer

said, "they're willing to make
changes."
Next Thursday the team
travels to Gannon. Lauffer
predicts a close match with the
Cubs' cross town rivals. Gannon
has only three courts instead of
the usual six, so the four, five and
six men are going to know
exactly where the team stands,
and exactly what they have to do.
Obviously this puts more
pressure on the players. In order
to relieve some of the pressure, it
would help to have a large
Behrend turnout at the courts
which are located on sth street
behind the girls dorm. (That
should be incentive enough).
When it Rains
When it rains it pours. An old
cliche, but it seems to sum up the
trouble Behrend is having in
baseball this year.
In the first game of the season,
.the Cubs began by making errors,
a problem which plagued them in
their first six games. In the
hitting department, they weren't
doing so hot either.
Then, sometime in the first
game of a double header with
Mercyhurst, at Mercyhurst, their
bats came alive. Everyone began
to stroke the ball better, but the
Cubs still made too many errors
that cost them the games.
Well, they took their hitting into
the Grove City game last
Saturday, and didn't commit a

In the first game, Ray Fritts
had some trouble with control as
he walked four batters. Bill
Sanders came on in relief and had
his share of troubles as he walked
three and gave up five earned
runs.
Jeff Cadden proved his
throwing arm once again as he
•threw out a Grove City runner in
their only attempted steal of the
day.
Offensively Behrend did a good
job as they collected a total of
eighteen hits in two games. Lee
