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."

Men's team plays
Gary Miller Classic
The Behrend Men's Basketball Team will open their season at the Gan
non Hammermill Center, with the Gary Miller Classic on November 22,
with the tip-off slated for 8:30 pm. 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.

The Women's Basketball team
will open their season this weekend
November 22 and 23 at the
Fredonia Invitational Tournament.
Last season the Lady Cub's finish
ed their season with a 8-17 record,
and third year Head Coach Karin
Sobotta is very optimistic about the
up coming season.
"We are opening up our season
at the Fredonia Tourney which we
won last year, and I feel that we
will win it again. I am not one to
make predictions, but I am confi
dent that the team this year has the
potential to do well," Sobotta said.
The Lady Cubs will face Elmira
College of New. York in the first
game of the tournament. Last
season when the two teams met
Elmira won the contest by five
points.
Coach Sobotta said that she will
be expecting a lot from her
Look for NEW Items:
freshmen, and will be pushing
them to meet their full potential.
Sobotta is especially looking for
great play from freshman point
guard Lisa Dorenkamp. "I will be
expecting Lisa to play like she is a
sophomore with one year of college
playing experience. She is a great
asset to the team and her en
thusiasm really gets the team going,
she will push herself to live up to
the expectations I have set for her
and her attitude will help to carry
the team." Sobotta said.
Sobotta will also be looking for
help in the point guard position
from sophomore Lisa Butch.
Sobotta said that "Lisa has a lot
more confidence than she had last
season, and with one year of col
lege basketball experience she
should help out the team tremen
dously." Sobotta also feels that her
team blocks out very well against
much taller opponents, and this
should be an asset to the team.
