Road Tough on Cagers
By Jay Schonthaler
Sports Editor
Behrend's basketball team took
to the road last week for a pair of
games but got a less than recep
tive welcome both times, drop
ping a 70-66 decision to Grove City
and being subdued by Frostburg,
91-75.
In both contests the Cubs hit a
dry spell that had a definite
bearing on the outcome. Against
Grove City they went scoreless
for five minutes in the latter part
of the second half and watched a
ten point lead disappear. At
Frostburg, they were outscored
by ten points in the final three
minutes of the first half as their
opponent moved to a comfortable
lead.
Behrend led Grove City by as
many as ten points throughout the
first half before the Grovers
brought it to within two at the
midway mark. However,
Behrend again pushed the margin
to ten, holding a 50-40 edge with
11:00 remaining. The action
continued for the next three
minutes with neither team able to
improve their position_
With 8 minutes showing, Grove
City put on a surge, for the most
part via the foul line. Five
minutes later they were on top by
four and stayed there for good.
The Cubs were held without a
point during this stretch while
their foe staged a comeback by
continually marching to the free
throw line.
In the second half Grove City
shot 13 free throws to Behrend's
one. Four of the five Cub starters
did not shoot a free throw the
entire game. The Cubs inability to
pick up fouls in that contest is
shown by the fact that a Grove
City player with a five point
average went to the foul line 13
times in the game while the entire
Behrend team shot only 12.
Despite the oucome, head
coach Roger Sweeting had
praise for his team. "I
don't think you get ahead of
anybody by ten on the road unless
you're playing well."
He also pointed out, however,
that his squad has been lacking in
some areas as of late. "It seems
early in the season we were
playing with a great deal more
confidence." •
He went on to say that con
fidence results in aggressive
play. "With a little more
aggressiveness we could have
won a few more games in
January."
The Cubs appeared to have this
confidence at Frostburg—at least
in their shooting ability. They
shot 17 for 31 in the first half for 55
per cent field goal chart and
trailed by only four points with
approximately three minutes left
in opening half. In those three

minutes, though, Frostburg
considerably damaged Behrend's
prospects for a win.
Frostburg's inside players took
command at that time quickly
dropping in one offensive rebound
after another to push the dif
ference to 53-39 at the half. This
was accomplished by their
deceptive-looking front line ;
deceptive because it is madeup of
two players standing only 6'4"
and the other, 6'5".
"They were just too strong for
us on the boards" Sweeting ad
mitted. "Most people who see
them say they're a bunch of
leapers."
They just dominated the boards
and got the inside shots that we
didn't get.
Behrend experienced no such
slump in the second half and, in
fact, repeated their hot shooting
by again tossing in 17 of 31 shots.
However, they were still unable
to gain any ground and Frostburg
coasted to their sixth win against
eight losses.
Frostburg tested the Cubs
early by throwing a full-court
press at them but were forced out
of it when they got into early foul
trouble. "By and large, I thought
our guards did a good job of
handling the press," Sweeting
said.
However, the Cubs were
hampered by the ineffective
shooting of Jon Kennedy, who
managed only two points.
Sweeting said that Kennedy will
need to score more if the Cubs are
to make a run of it against some
of the better teams. Sweeting also
stated that he will continue to see
action because of his excellent
defensive play, and added "I feel
he has too much size and potential
to be sitting on the bench."
In the scoring department,
Larry McAleer paced the Cubs
with 14, Pat Gahr and Jim Davis
each had 12, Eddie Evans, 11,
Mark Chesko, 10 and Jeff Gillette,
nine.

holds a comfortable lead in
the standings over Aces

petitor for the title.

Looking on the bright side of
things, Sweeting concluded, "I
thought we had some good
passing. We hit the open man and
as a result, shot the best per
centage we've shot all year. To
that extent, I'm pleased."
Saturday night, Behrend is at
home against Houghton.

wrestling promising,
wrestler breaks record
Cub
By John Roach
The Behrend matmen put on
quite a show Saturday at Erie
Hall. Even though they split the
triangular meet 1-1 they showed
the fans that they are a good
wrestling team. "This is a team",
as Coach Onorato puts it, "that
enjoys wrestling and is out there
to win. And also to make it an
exciting sport to watch."
This year has been a pleasant
surprise to many Behrend
wrestling fans. Although they did
drop a close 17-15 battle to
California, they did upset 13th
ranked Mt. Union 31-13. The most
notable accomplishment among
the grapplers came from Brian
Vollant as he tied Ashley Swift's
mark of 54 pts. in a single season
and broke Julian Demarco's
consecutive wins streak of 12 in a
row by winning his 13th straight
match. Brian also holds the
career total pts. of 51 markers
ahead of any other wrestler.
Coach Onorato says that "if he
keeps his head and doesn't make
any mistakes he stands a chance
at going undefeated this season."
The next encounter for the
Behrend pin artists will be
Ryerson Poly. Tech in Montreal,
Canada on Wed. Feb. 5, where
they will wrestle an exhibition
match with Ryerson under
collegiate rules. This is a rivalry
that started last season when
Ryerson came here and wrestled
under freestyle rules.
After Ryerson, the Cubs will
tangle with Grove City next
Saturday at Grove City. And then

The Roundball Luncheon, a

Concerning the Women in
Public Relations Program
featured speakers were Judy
Reed, who is in charge of
Public Relations at Villa Maria
College. Pat Cassidy works for
The First National Bank, and
Kate Shubat of WQLN radio. All
the speakers emphasized that
pre-job experience is not im
portant. All the women thought
that one of the best things to do
while you're in college is to work
on the school paper. Preparation
through your major can help
some. The women agreed that a
Liberal Arts degree is best. One
of them was a History major,
another majored in English and
the other who majored in Jour
nalism said that she ended up
taking a lot of useless courses.
Many of their duties were the
same except for some work that
Ms. Shubat does at WQLN.
Besides her studies of advertising
and publicity at the bank, Ms.
Cassidy also serves on several
boards for the bank. Ms. Reed's
duties at Villa include hosting
visiting newsmen, appointments,
arrangements, advertising,
publication of newspapers and
magazines, writing articles of
publicity for The Erie Times, and
very recently, editing a
promotional movie about Villa.
Kate Shubat at a young 27 does
research, script writing, in
terviewing, fund raising publicity
and promos. She is now director
of publicity. As she put it, she
does the head work while
subordinates do the hand work.
Some problems have arisen
from their gender in their
positions of authority. The women
agreed that they have to work
harder to hold their positions than
men do. They all felt the need to
"prove themselves and gain

'credibility and respect." They
refuse to answer phones or do
their own typing because they
feel that this detracts from the
time they are getting paid for
doing more important jobs. Pat
felt that by going along with the
men on "business" golf and tennis
she was more easily accepted.
Kate disagreed saying that a golf
course was not a place of
business. She refused to attend
those outings. It was a
disagreement of the standards
they said they would set and
supposedly set.
One woman said that you can
use the law to your benefit but it
won't change the attitudes. One
boss illegally asked her if she
were on the pill when he hired
her. She pointed to some studies
that proved that women are more
stable and loyal once successfully
established in a job. They all felt
that women must give them
selves credit for their ac
complishments because no one
else will and that its most im
portant to be comfortable in the
job.
Their advice for job seeking is
to have a portfolio of your
work. Don't settle for a
secretarial job. Erie is wide open
at the entry level at about $B,OOO.
The rest is up to you. Kate and
