Capture Tourney, Then Drop s Pair -
Cubs Face Ups'n Downs
by Jay Schonthaler
Sports Editor
For the Behrend basketball
team, the spirit and good cheer of
the Christmas season has ended
abruptly.
The Cubs fortunes looked
bright after winning the cham
pionship of the Brock Holiday
Tournament during the Christ
mas break. They grabbed an 89-
83 come-from-behind victory
over Brock in the opening round
and then earned the title with a
win over St. Laurenpia. But their
winning ways were reversed with
a 105-50 trouncing.by Mercyhurst
followed by an 87-84 loss against
Waynesburg, a game in which the
Cubs blew a twelve point lead
with seven minutes remaining.
. Coach Roger Sweeting was
pleased overall with his club's
play in the tournament and in
dicated that the event showcased
some solid basketball teams.
"Brock has a lot of size. They also
have a kid by the name of Murray
who was averaging nearly thirty
points a game.'
In that game Behrend trailed at
one point in the first half by a 27-
12 count and with six minutes left
in the game, were down by five
points. They pulled out the vic
tory largely on the, shooting of
Larry MacAleer, who ended the
night with a career-high 26 points.
He was also named MVP for the
tournament in addition to .being
selected for the All Tourney
squad along with team mate Jim
Davis. MacAleer wasn't alone in
displaying some torrid shooting.
As a team Behrend finished with
a 52 per cent field goal average
for the two contests.
In the championship tilt against
Laurenpia. Mark Chesko carried
a good deal of the offensive
burden, pacing the Cubs with 18
points, 16 of them coming in the
second half. MacAleer chipped in
with 14_,
"Laurenpia was supposed to be
pretty good" remarked Sweeting.
"in fact, they were favored to win
it. They were 5-0 in their con
ference at the time." He added, in
summation. "It's not as though
we played a couple of rinkyAink
teams."
Against Mercyhurst things
went much like expected. The
Lakers had vastly superior
personnel, as Sweeting frankly
admitted and the outcome was
not in doubt for too long. That

much . was evidenced merely
from watching 'Hurst coach Dick
Fox. Normally, during the course
of a game, Fox puts on a show
from the bench which itself is
worth the price of admission.
Last Wednesday, however, he
relaxed and watched his team
coast to an easy win.
Though the Cubs were never
expected to present a serious
challenge to the Lakers, Sweeting
was somewhat disappointed with
his team, in particular, their
inability to handle the defensive
pressure. "I knew,Mercyhurst
would play pressur defense. In
fact, we spent four days getting
ready for what they showed us."
What Mercyhurst showed them
was a defense that forced the
Cubs to commit 24 turnovers in
the first half.

were again mistake prone,
making several turnovers late in
the contest to surrender a lead
they had held most of the contest.
Sweating commented, "I thought
we did some very good things in
that game, but then we got
careless and let them tie us and
then get ahead of us."
He attributed the loss, in part,
to the experience of Waynesburg
as opposed to the relatively young
Cub squad. "When you have
people who've been there before
in a pressure situation, they tend
to react better to it than, say, a
freshman or sophomore."
This Saturday, Behrend takes
on Eisenhower, a 99-90 loser to
Brock this season. They are led
by 6' 3" Neil Kromer, who poured
in 34 points against Behrend last
year.

Gals Tip
Gannon
All members of Behrend's
girl's basketball team had a hand
in besting Gannon girls .on
December 14. Thefinal score was
53 to 31. Behrend's starters were
Grimm, Truskey, Howell,
Heenan and Smogorezwski. Their
Gannon counterparts were
Dunbar, Walters, Hoyt,
M acK inlay and Mitchell.
Apparently Gannon held their
star out of the starting lineup, as
Patti Fischer scored into
,the
double figures,. rolling up a total
of 16 points. Our double scorers
were Heenan and Smogorezwski,
with the former being our high
scorer. The bgggest problem to
both teams was fouls. Never
theless, Behrend fought their way
to victory.
