He'll have experience on his side with a number of lettermen returning: eight to be exact, including halfback Jim Armstrong, goalie Micky Brosius; lineman John Moore, halfback Paul Peet. center-forward Mark Rudolf. and halfback Kevin Yendall. Also returning for another- season are letter winners John Fleming. center-half and Steve Motycka. halfback. The latter pair will serve as co-captains for this year's squad.

He takes care of the equipment, works out with the team, compiles statistics. shouts encouragement from the sidelines and helps out reporters whose knowledge of soccer is lacking. In previewing the '74 season, Coach Lauffler, quick and to the point with his replies, indicated a need for the Cubs to shore up their defense. "We had difficulty defensively last year. We gave up too many easy goals." He also cited the occurrence of "costly errors" mistakes made in key situations, as one of the overriding factors in several of Behrend's losses. Offensively. the coach em phasized that the Cubs' scoring punch could stand a beefing up. They mustered only 30 goals last year over the course of a twelve game slate, and they could ex perience similar troubles again this season. "We lost our leading scorer of last year with sixteen goals." explained Coach Lauf fler. "Our next best was several people with three."

Tomorrow's' game at Malone may well give an indication as to whether or not the Cubs have been successful in getting more offensive firepower for it was this team which held Coach Lauffler's squad thoroughly in check. pinning a 1-0 loss on them. That much hoped for rejuvenated offense could swing things the other way this time around. Women Lob into Season The women's varsity tennis team, under the careful coaching of Mrs. Janet Wilson. is into full practice sessions in order to prepare for their upcoming season. This year the team started off with a relatively small group of girls and is becoming increasingly popular. The team is now full of energetic dedicated players. A tennis ladder was constructed in which the players were placed in a position. somewhere from one to 12. in accordance to their ability. The girls can challenge any girl two places above her. In this way the girls try to advance up the ladder in order to be in a better playing position. This season the team will play in ten matches battling such teams as Mereyhurst, Allegheny. and Grove City. The season ac tually gets underway today and runs through the middle of October with 90 minute practices daily Captain Kener Fennel Jeff Johnson Ed Driscah Dr. Freed Bill Betz Team The team itself this year features some strong_ and deo . ermined players such as Karen Smogorzewski, Judy Reed, and Donna Gugie. Mrs. Wilson is very optimistic about the team's potential and hopes that the students at Behrend come out and support their girls tennis team. Behrend Collegian by Mary Beth Zabel The women's volleyball team rolled into pre-season practice, showing fan tastic potential for the coming year. Lions' Ticket Sales Reach Roaring Heights Penn State football ticket manager Ken Hosterman isn't sure why the Nittany Lions' season ticket sales are booming, but he isn't going to question it. "There probably are a lot of factors contributing to our ticket sales. Sales are about 1,000 tickets ahead of what they were last year" Hosterman says. That is quite an ac complishment because the Lions were the East's top collegiate football attraction for the ump teenth straight year last season when they drew a record 345.140 fans to their six appearances at Beaver Stadium, aii — altrerage of 57,523 people per game. "We don't have any way of knowing if the pro football strike has had any effect on our ticket ' sales, but that's a possibility." Hosterman says. "I think a lot of people just want to see the color and excitement of college football as compared to the dull - , unimaginative pro game." Hosterman doesn't feel the energy shortage has hurt the ticket situation. In fact. it may have indirectly increased the sale. "Bus companies have in creased their orders. apparently feeling that they will hav i e more people wanting to come to the games that way." Hosterman points out. "Some of the bus companies have doubled their orders." Penn State's season opener—a nationally-televised game with Stanford on Sept. 14 ;has already been announced as a sellout based on the anticipated student ticket sale. Another home game, the Nov. 2 contest with Maryland, is also nearing sellout proportions. This ball seems to be a common source of interest to these two players as they battle to gain possession. The Behrend Booster Club is in desperate need of your support. There are actually many advantages to joining the Booster Club for the Behrend stuoknt. Paramount on the list of advantages is the free admittance to the basketball games and the wrestling matches during Winter term. The cost of a Booster Club card is only a dollar. Since the cost of a basketball game for a student at Behrend is fifty cents one onlyhas to attend two games to break even. Another added attraction to joining the Booster Club is when the team plays Mercyhurst or Gannon the Behrend student gets in free even when the games are not played at home. Tickets are still available for the other four home games— Navy, Sept. 21; Wake Forest. Oct. 12; Syracuse, Oct. 19; and Ohio, Nov. 16. The Lions' game at Army on Oct. 5 has been sold out, but tickets remain for the games at lowa. Sept. 28; at West Virginia.
