sports Basketball teams tip off season Lisa Butch goes up for a lay-up Funds Raised By Phone by Sue Holmes Collegian Spoils Editor On November 9th the first ever Phone-A-Thon for the athletic department was held at Behrend College. The purpose of the Phone- A-Thon was to generate funds for the sports teams here at Behrend. This was done by calling former Behrend athletes and asking them to pledge to Behrend athletics. There was a very large turn-out, with 40 student athletes, helping in the calling of alumni. Athletic Director Herb Lauffer said "I was very happy with the turn-out of student athletes and cheerleaders and with the great help the coaches gave during the Phone-A-Thon." Lauffer also said that "This is a great way to keep the alumni in touch with what is going on here at Behrend, and it is also good because it gives the athletef an op portunity to talk to the al - nni." As of today the Phon A-Thon has generated 2055.00 :.:;,liars for the Behrend athletic department, with pledges still coming in. Lauf fer said, "That with the great response of this Phone-A-Thon there will definitely be a second one."

Behrend has participated in the tour nament since its start in 1983, defeating Franklin University, and losing to Edinboro and Gannon in the three previous opening games. This year, the Cubs take on the Golden Knights again. Coach Zimmer man and senior Randy Gorniak recently gave their thoughts on the up coming games. "The players are looking forward to it ... we are getting things ac complished," replied Coach Zimmerman, "This is our fourth year at the Classic ... last year we played Gannon strong until the final quarter." Gorniak echoed the coach's statement, "Everybody is pumped up, Gan non is a good measuring stick ... we will know where we stand (after the game)." Gorniak, who has been fighting a cold the last few days, said that the team is looking good during practice, that there is, "A lot of competition, especially when we.are healthy__ " There have been the usual aches and pains, but the only - Major injury has been a stress fracture to JIM" We-55"i— -ankle. Webb is expected to return to the team by Christmas at the latest. Both Coach Zimmerman and Gorniak believe that the team's biggest improvement is the addition of three junior transfers; Gary Zang, Wayne Snyder, and Bob Quarture, all from other Penn State branch campuses. "The new guys are helping out tremendously, they have a combination of fresh blood and experience," said Gorniak, "The whole team is more mature, we are shooting with more confidence." On a personal level, Gorniak thinks there will be increased pressure on him to perform offensively, "Being a senior, more articles are being writ ten about the fact that I have to score more ... more teams will be keying on me." While the Knights might be focusing on Gorniak, Coach Zimmerman does not believe there will be a key match-up. "Team type play is more important than any match-up," said the coach, "We must run when the opportunity arises but we do not want a track meet." Gorniak believes that tempo is an important factor in the upcoming game, "To beat Gannon, we must keep control of the tempo. Also we must be aggressive and most importantly, we must box out their big men." Lady Cubs played in this year. "Many of the teams that are rank ed in the top 20 were teams that we played in tournaments," said Wilson. This has made her job an easier one because she has been able to watch many of the teams play.
