A short, hot summer ended with one descriptive word, pain. On August 20, 1988, all interested candidates were in training for the Behrend soccer team. There were thirty-four male students who worked hard to make the team. During orientation, they practiced two sessions a day including Sunday, which most athletic teams take off. After a designated period of time, coach Herb Lauffer had to eliminate and decide on twenty-four team members. They are expected to be relaxed when playing and to play within themselves.

On the 18th they take on cross town rival Mercyhurst and then return home to battle Allegheny on Oct. 9.

Lauffer is very optimistic about the season. He thinks that the team is better than last year. Returning this year are eleven lettermen, Paul Hurley, Mark Shreck, Jim O’Kane, Gary Smelko, Mike Smelko, Tim Fry, Tom Kerr, Ken Crumb, Chris Hahn, John Bondanella, and Jay Varcoe. They didn't all start last year but received a lot of playing time. These eleven lettermen are considered and expected to be the "nucleus” of the team this year. They have the ability to make things happen. Another reason for optimism is the teams speed which is very good in comparison to last year. Tbere is no time for slacking off which is Tennis Team Full of New Faces by Ken Shimko Collegian Staff Writer Coach Grignol has his Lady Lions fired up for this fall's tennis season. Though the majority of the team is young and inexperienced, their talent alone should gain them some respect What litde experience the Lady Lions have comes from their top three seeds. Seeded first is sophomore Richann Bryant The number two seed, and team leader, is sophomore Michelle Jewell. Closing out the top three is sophomore Sheila Saeed. Other team members include freshman Victoria Rice, seeded fourth, Sophomore Onkham Rattanaphasouk, seeded fifth, and freshman Colleen Holzer, seeded sixth. Two newcomers to the team who have not been seeded are freshmen Jennifer Neuman and Ozaki Kayoko. With the season at hand, Coach Grignol pointed out a few problems the team may have. "Many of the other colleges are Division II schools," Grignol stated, "They have better recruiting programs and have more experienced juniors and seniors." Although this team lacks competitive experience, they do not lack desire. By combining their raw talent with a little luck, they could open some eyes this year.

The final reason is that they have a better scoring punch this year. This was a big problem last year and it is now being overcome. This years schedule will be one of Behrend’s toughest. They can take no team lightly, for most of the matches will be 50/50. Even the teams they have defeated last year have improved. The teams they are watching out for are Gannon and Mercyhurst, Allegheny, Grove City, and Fredonia. "With a lot of hard work, success isn't too far our out of reach," said Lauffcr. Lauffer's philosophy of a good season for them is to "play hard, execute, and keep our mistakes minimum." Underwater hockey. OSU intramural official David Griner said he believes Ohio State is part of a new, well, wave of underwater hockey popularity about to wash oyer campused nationwide. Griner estimates only "five or six" schools— among them the universities of Miami and Illinois— have underwater hockey teams, although about 1,000 such, teams play in Europe. But football and basketball fans need not worry - ,- underwater hockey is not likely to upstage their sports any time soon. "We know nothibng about underwater hockey," said Yvonne Comelli of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The game is played by two 6- player teams. The players wear fins, snorkels and diving masks, and, using 12-inch sticks, try to push the puck - - which is slightly larger than a hockey puck - - into the opponents' goal. "You have to come up for air all the time," OSU swimming instructor Bill Margiotta explained to the Lantern, Ohio State’s student student paper. Government Books & More!

On Sept. 7, the Lady Lions lost to Edinboro, (11-15, 1- 15, 3-15). Over the weekend they traveled to the Cortland Tournament.

A combination of skiing, swimming, bicycling and running, the fifth -; annual QUAD games were-; completed over the weekend with Samuels finishing fifth in the ; running event Margiotta thinks that if the intramural version of the game succeeds in the fall, when it will be started, OSU might be willing to fund an intercollegiate team. But while Ohio State was talking about adding a new team, the University of Arkansas-Little Rock was dropping others. The school dropped women's basketball and men's golf, said spokeswoman Nancy Stewart, but added women’s volleyball to its roster. Budget defecits forced the cuts, she said. Arkansas-Little Rock's athletic department finished last year with a $1.2 million deficit, although the deficit has already been paid off. "We're trying to run a first rate program without overbudgeting," said Athletic Director Mike Newell. * * V * m ;^IBP |j| lit If;.. |l V M wSlM'lllltisgS® •* Under ujaFtsr “J+oc -*•
