She added that the team has come a long way and that they have become stronger and better with each match.. On October 13th, Coach was World Series Providing Many Thrills by J ohn Blimmel Sports Editor It’s World Series time again, one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world, and this year the games are getting as much publicity for the off-the field antics of one of the teams involved as it is for the actual playing of the games themselves. The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees are battling for baseball supremacy this year. The Dodgers reached the Series by disposing of the Philadelphia Phils in the NL playoffs. After losing the first game they came back to win the next three, including two in Philadelphia, where the Phillies were almost unbeatable during the regular season. The Yankee won the AL playoffs in a similar fashion. They lost the first game to Kansas City, but came back to win three of the next four, in cluding a thrilling come-from behind victory in the final game to nail down their second straight pennant. The World Series started off with a bang, as the Yankees won a 12 inning game 4-3. The Dodgers came back to win the second game 6-1 and then the teams took off to Los Angeles to play the next three games. The Yankees won the third and fourth games with great pitching effort, and looked as if they were about to put away the Dodgers for good. However, the Dodgers still had some life left in them and clob Students ToForm Gym Club by Amy Pagliara Collegian Staff Writer There is now a gymnastics club at the Behrend Campus. It is rather strange the way it came to be. My roommate and I were in the field near the main entrance of the campus, jogging a bit, and doing a few exercises, when we noticed a man approaching us. Letty, who had been hoping someone would start some type of organized gymnastics, turned, to me and said, “Wouldn’t it be great if he would ask us to start a gymnastics club?” Well, we soon found out that the man was Dr. Braude.

Coach Wilson feels that the women’s volleyball team has the skills they need to win matches. I’m sure with some support from you fans that they will.

The clubs went back to New York for a sixth game on Tuesday and, if necessary, a seventh game on Wednesday. This year’s Series, however, is getting more attention for the constant controversies surrounding the Yankees. It started after the second game when Reggie Jackson blasted manager Billy Martin for pit ching Catfish Hunter. Hunter hadn’t pitched for almost a month because of an injury and was rocked for five runs in less than three innings. Since then the following events happened: Martin blasted Jackson for secondguessing him, the two apparently made up, and blamed the writers for blowing the thing out of proportion. Team captain Thurman Munson has said he wants to be traded, several players were upset over the tickets the Dodgers gave them for their wives and relatives, and pitcher Ed Figueroa became upset with Martin for passing over him in the pitching rotation. Yet, the Yankees seem to forget all their personal problems once they take the- field. The Yankees should be just as in teresting to watch in the off season, too,. Many people believe that Billy Martin will be fired no matter how the Yankees fare in the World Series. Another major sporting event troduced himself, and asked if we would be interested in beginning a gymnastics club! My roommate quickly turned to me with a look of surprise and delight on her face.
