    Meet your team:
Jon Kennedy, at 6'6", 215 lbs., is the tallest member of the team.
His 180 rebounds last year placed him second high in the statistics.
He's improved his game for this year, and has been sinking a kit of
his shots—the
. high-scorer honors being his in several games this
year. His home high school was Harborcreek, Pa., and he is a Civil
Engineering major here at Behrend.

held last Tuesday during common
hour. Interested students who'
missed the meeting are en
couraged to join by leaving their
name and telephone number at
the RUB desk addressed to
Behrend Radio.
The call letters WBCR were
chosen to reflect its identity as an
activity that relates to the
students of Behrend College. As a
student activity, a Constitution to
specify its function was recently
drafted by a committee headed
by Programming • Director Alan
Kirk. It will be voted on at the
next radio station meeting.
Speaking on behalf of the staff
of WBCR,. Ed Fratus publicly
thanked the following people:
The Administration, for their
open minded attitudes and quick
resporises.
WCTL in Union City and Mace
Electronics for their con
tributions. -
The SGA for their liberal
allotment of funds.
The Niagara Construction
Company for the materials used
in the soundproof studio.
And innumerable other people
without whom the station would
not be.
In future years, WBCR. hopes to
become an educational radio
station. Courses in Com
munications could be developed
by the University. These could be
taught without changing the basic
forniat•of the station. Before this
could be dune, the Administration
would have to hire additional
faculty. But with the cooperation
of the students,- faculty and ad
ministration, it could be done.

two more, the game was sealed.
Gain' hit a total of nine foul shots
on the night, and his last two put
the Cubs up 68-59. The rest of the
game was pure enjoyment for the
Cubs, and was climaxed ap
propriately by an Eddie Evans
jumper at the buzzer for a 73-61
final score.
Once again, Jon Kennedy topped
all scores with 27 points. Joining
Jon in double figures were Pat
Gahr (15) and Eddie Evans (11).
Evans scored ten points in the
second half. Bill Fox paced the
losers with 15.

To those who weren't in at
tendance at Erie Hall last
Wednesday, all you missed was
the Behrend Cubs' finest per
formance of the year. The Grove
City Wolverines found the Cubs
too much to handle as Behrend
gave them a 73-61 loss.
The visiting Wolverines
brought their deliberate offense
into the game, and it looks as
though one of those low-scoring,
ball control contests would result.
But before long, Behrend stepped
up the tempo with a man-to-man
press, with seldom-used Steve
Bucik and Pat Gahr applying
back court pressure. Grove City
countered with their own press,
but it was not as effective as the
Cubs'. Jon Kennedy was con
sistently left open f6r lay ups as
the Cubs moved the ball well
through the Wolverine defense.
Kennedy's teammates fed him
beautifully all night, and Jon
usually came through, often
following his own missed shot and
tipping it in.
The first half was basically a
defensive show, with a 39-35
Grove City lead at intermission.
The second twenty minutes was
what Behrend fans have been
waiting for all season. The Cubs
took command of the game and
played good basketball con
sistently throughout the entire
second half. It was the brand of
ball that Cubs have showed
promise of for the last few
games. Starting with defense,
Behrend played their 2-3 zone
almost to perfection with the
guards applying pressure on the
ball in the back court_ Not giving
anything up near the basket, the
Cubs forced the- grovers to
pass the ball around the
perimeter of the zone, not getting
many good shots.
The Wolverines found their
missed shots grabbed by the trio
of Kennedy, Jim Davis, and Mark
Chesko. The visitors got a little
flustered and following a Kennedy
3-point play, they were hit with a
technical foul. Kennedy con
verted the "T" and on the ensuing
inbounds play, Chesko hit a long
range jumper to put the Cubs
ahead 42-41. The lead changed
hands three times with Chesko hit
again to put the home team up for
good, 46-45.
From that point on, the Cubs

played what can only be
described as inspired basketball.
Playing tirelessly in the defensive
end, and impressively controlling
the boards, Behrend simply
overpowered the visitors. Eddie
Evans played equally well on
defense and offense, and his team
mates, sensing victory, just kept
the pressure on the faltering
Grovers. Behrend had to go
without Jon Kennedy for the last
four minutes, when he fouled out
of the game, and also without
Mark Chesko who again went
over the foul limit with three
minutes left. With those two out,
the Cubs had to work a little
harder, - but nevertheless they
kept the Wolverines off the
boards and employed a semi-stall
offense. When Larry Szosjorek hit
