Hey! What's happening with
this year's baseball team?
They've finally put it all together
as they have thoroughly
demolished their last three op
ponents. And they did it in fine
style, to boot.
In winning five of their last six
games, the Cubs have also
managed to break one record on
the diamond and have closed in on
a couple others.
Last Thursday at Westminster
Jim Davis was hurt with a
shoulder injury putting him on the
bench for the rest of the season,
but not. before he set a new season
batting average • record. He
shattered Roger Nolan's old
record of .424 with a new record
of .447. Jim also had a slugging
average of .907 with two home
runs, two triples and five doubles.
Those five doubles bring him
within three of the career total
presently held by Gary Orhn who
has eight. Another record within
his reach is the career hits held
liy Roger Nolan who had 49.
Davis had 17 hits this season and
only went hitless one game.
The scores of last Thursday's
game with Westminster
were: Westminster 6, Behrend 5
and the second game was
Behrend 7 and Westminster 2.
The last game started the Cubs'
winning streak.
Saturday at Houghton,
everything seemed to go wrong.
Off the playing field that is. First
the team got one of the worst
buses that Bluebird can offer. -
Thep the driver got lost on his
way to Houghton, so the team
arrived late. Then came games.
Behrend seemingly took all their
troubles out on an a hapless
Houghton College. Especially
Jim Swalley. •
At his first time at bat, Swalley
hit a homerun over the left field
fence. He did the same thing the
second time at the plate, a belt
which went to the same place.
These two rips put Swalley within
one of tying the season record of
homeruns held by Roger Nolan
with four. Jim also has a slugging
average of .627 and a season
batting average presently at .202.
Next home Baseball
game is May 11
against Youngstown.
Come and support
the team
Fair weather friends
like the seasons of
the year...they come
and go.
Like snow and ice
compassion
builds and melts—
but mostly melts.
And like some love
their friendships are
born in bright
moments of joy
and lost in moments
of pain.
Please
don't be
a
fair weather friend -
to me.

But not everything was done
offensively for the Cub nine. In
the first game, Ray Fritts did the
job as he went the distance. He
struck out seven, walked two and
only gave up three hits. The final
score of the game was Behrend 6
and Houghton 2.
In the second game of the af
ternoon Terry Solvedt came off
the bench to relieve starter Brad
Bova and in doing so picked up his
first win of the season. Terry did
some fine pitching for two and
two thirds innings' as Behrend
went on to win 11-6.
In that second game, John
Marucci put the Cubs in front in
the top of the sixth as he ripped a
double ]-scoripg two, runs. In_ the
seventh Marucci got his second
double of the day to drive in
another run to insure Behrend of
its win.
And now comes the sweet part
It's always nice to win but it's
especially nice win if- that _win
comes over our cross town rivals
Gannon College. And make that
two wins as Behrend proceeded to
take both ends of a double header
at Glenwood Field on Tuesday.
In the first game, the Cubs shut
out the Knights 8-0, behind the
pitching of Tim Slaven, who went
the distance. Tim has been having
an excellent season this year as
he ran his record to three and one.
His other wins came against
Duquesne and Westminster. His
only loss was to Mercyhurst when
Behrend played there. He also
has been doing a good job at the
plate as he has been used as a
designated hitter when he isn't
pitching.
In Tuesday's game with, the
Knights, everything seemed to go
right for Behrend. Leon Daniels
did an excellent job at third as he
got credit for two assists and also
knocked in a run in the top of the
fifth. Rick Kestle set up a rally as
he beat a throw to first by the
catcher who dropped the
_ball on
the third strike.
Myles JohnS moved into the
pitching circuit as he made his
first appearance since last season
and made his debut in fine style.
He picked up his first win by

&Arend Collegian
Cub Win "Close" Record
The Behrend College Tennis
Team recorded a close victory
against Geneva College at Beaver
Falls on May 4th. This win made
Behrend 3 and 5 and dropped
Geneva to a 3 and 7 record.
Although the final score was 8
to 1, it was a close match. Four of
the nine matches could have gone
either way.
Dave Ott, .Behrend's number
one man, took on Geneva's
number one man in Jim Ceperley.
The first set went to Ceperley by
the score of 6-1, but Ott then made
a strong comeback to win the last
two sets and the match, 6-4, 6-3.
The win made Ott's personal
record 3 wins, 5 losses.
Mark Leonard, Behrend's
number two man, took Jeff
Ceperley in a clean sweep 6-0, 6-1.
Leonard is 3-5 on the year.
Then came the only loss of the
day for Behrend. Barry Healy,
number three - man, lost to Ti m
Futato in a sweep. Futato took
the first set 6-3 and then the
second set 6-1. This made the
score 2-1 Behrend. Healy is now 2-
6 this season.
Ken Buchanan beat John Brent
in consecutive sets of 6-1 and 6-4.
This makes Buchanan 3-5 so far.
Coach Lauffer said this next
match was very important for
Behrend. The score was 3-1 and
Geneva was very much in this
match.
Don Fuller, the number five
man, then rose to the occasion by
beating Jack Riley 7-6, 7-6. The
thing that was so important was
Carlson and Hadlock winning both
of their matches along with Glaz
and Smozoryewski.

The final score was 8-2. A total
humiliation of the Gannon nine to
say the least.

Sports Writer
that Fuller's match went to two
tiebreakers. If Fuller hadn't won
the score would have been 3-2
instead of 4-1 Behrend, Fuller is'
now 3ancl 5 for the year.
Mark Fairchild;, the number six
man, made a great comeback
against Bruce Walker. Walker
jumped out quickly against
Fairchild and won the first set 6-4
but Mark just wouldn't quit. He
came back to sweep the second
and third sets 6-0 and 6-2. The
come-from-behind win made
Fairchild's personal record 3-5.
Now the score was 5-1. That put
the match out of reach for
Geneva with 3 double matches to
go.
Dave Ott and Norm Jackson
made their record 1-1 since they
have been playing together. They
bested Jeff and Jim Ceperley in
consecutive sets 6-1 and 7-6 in a
tiebreaker.
Mark Leonard and Ken
Buchanan then beat John Brent
and Bruce Walker. The pair
swept the match by set. scores of
6-3 and 6-2. This made the score 7-
1 Behrend and raised Leonard
and Buchanan's record to 2-1.
Barry Healy and Don Fuller
made their record 1-1 when they
beat Jack Riley. and Tim Gardner
in sets of 7-6 and 6-1. That made
the final score 8-1 in Behrend's
favor.

happy with the victory. He stated
