January 26, 1978 Give My Regards... by Dave Jordan Editor-in-chief If you’re anything like me, you must have dreamed of making it big in show biz. Having your name flashed all over the town, having one of your movies hit the screen, or record hit the charts. Or maybe you always dreamed real, real big, like appearing on the Dinah Shore Show ... Dinah Shore?? Maybe this sounds a little strange to you, but if you have dreamed of making it big, then your chance has finally come. Six Flags, Inc. Show Productions will be staging its First Annual “Stairway to Stardom” contest, with five finalists appearing on The Long And Wi By John Blimmel Sports Editor There is a widely held belief in sports, especially in basketball, that it is difficult if not almost impossible to win games on the road. In pro basketball, visiting teams lose about 80 per cent of the time, and in the college game, it is not unusual for teams to run off home-court winning streaks of 70 or 80 games. Well, in the next few weeks the Behrend Cubs hope to prove that that theory isn’t all true. In fact, they’ll have to, if they hope to improve their win output this year. Thanks to this year’s schedule, Coach Leon Wright’s crew must play nine of their remaining twelve games on the road, in cluding a string of five con secutive away games, beginning Jan. 14 at Indiana (PA). As this article was being written, the Cubs show a 3-7 record for the current campaign. After splitting their first four games this year, they have won only one of their last six games and have been rather badly beaten in their last two games against Pitt-Johnston and Westminster. Coach Wright says that a lack of consistency and overall in tensity throughout an entire game has been plaguing the Cubs the most. In addition, defense and turnovers have also hint Behrend this year. But Coach Wright remains optimistic about the rest of the campaign. He is pleased with the development of some of the younger players, in par ticular freshmen Shep Robinson and Randy Barr, who are Hand Made Jewelry Room 111 Lawrence the Dinah Shore Show, and the grand prize winner receiving many goodies available in the show biz biz.

If you’d rather listen to a star than be one, perhaps the following information will in terest you: Did you ever want to lock yourself in your room, have some nice acoustic guitar music playing in the background, and riding Road averaging 7.2 and 6.3 points per game respectively. Sophomore Bernard Orr has been Behrend’s most consistent player this year, averaging 16 points per game and 6.6 assists, one of the top three marks in the district. Other players averaging in double figures are Kirk Far bacher, 14.6 points per game, and Ron Williams, 11.8 Farbacher is the team’s leading rebounder, averaging 7.5 rebounds per game. Here is a brief review of the team’s last six games: The Cubs fell to Edinboro State on Dec. 15 at Edinboro, 82-70. Behrend outrebounded the taller Edinboro team, 61-53. The Cubs then lost to Geneva, 83-76, and to Alliance. After breaking for the Christmas holidays, the Cubs returned to action Jan. 5 against Thiel and won 72-62. Shooting 58 per cent from the field, they led at halftime 35-31. Bernard Orr paced Behrend’s attack with 26 points, Randy Barr scored 14, and Ron Williams 12. Next came two losses at home to two very good teams, Pitt-Johnstown and Westminster, by scores of 103-78 and 90-69. The game scheduled for Dec. 20 against California State has been rescheduled for February 2. Coach Wright has been very pleased with the crowds at Behrend home games this year. He believes the fans are good for a 5 to 7 point advantage each game. Because so many of the remaining games are on the road, the coach and players would like to see many of the fans go to the away games if possible to cheer for the team. Behrend Collegian just mellow out? One artist you might consider listening to would be Kenny Rankin. His smooth voice, combined with his laid-back style have helped Rankin sell out concerts all over the country, and hopefully will help him sell out Thursday, February 9,7:30 p.m., at the Warner Theatre in Erie. For an enjoyable evening, check out the Kenny Rankin concert.
