Capitol B-Ball sets scoring record
By Angelo Vecchio
If the Capitol Campus
basketball team's home opener
is, any indication of what the
1984-85 season has in store,
everyone is in for quite a year.
The Lions defeated Swar
thmore in overtime, 134 - 128,
before a good-sized crowd at
their Nov. 17 home debut.
Bill Ochall's 52 points
established a new Capitol Cam
pus record for the most points
scored in a single game by one
player (Jack Wilson held the
old record of 49 set in 1981).
The team als set a game-high

record by scoring 134.
Coach Charlie Bowen and
assistant Jack Messinger took
Capitol into the locker room at
half-time, leading 58-57. But a
strong second-half performance
by the visitors, led by Tole Hart
(who pulled in Swarthmore's
game high of 33 points), left the
game tied at the end of regula
tion play, 117-117. The Lions
outscored Swarthmore in the
overtime period, 17-11, to cap
ture the. win.
Ochall's sterling perfor
mance was supported by four
other Lions scoring in double
figures: John Thomas, 21; Bill
Styche, 20; Greg Bensing, 17;
and George Nelson, 16. Barry
Richards scored 5 and Jeff
Godzak added 3, all crucial
points in the close match up.
The game provided en
thusiasm among fans. As 1984
graduate Bob Zalno com
mented at half-time, "This is
exciting. The team is much im
proved in all aspects of their
play. The high scoring is great,
but so is the key passing.
Players like Barry Richards

have really come along."
Zalno added that he was en
couraged by fan turnout, but
that a high percentage of those
in attendance were parents and
other family, and that more
students here should come our
to see the team. Athletic Direc
tor Bud Smitley shared Zalno's
view.
"This year's team gives us an
opportunity to see exciting
games. And it's a chance for
the people on this campus to see
a bonafide All-American quali
ty player in Bill Ochall. It's be
a shame if these performances
go unnoticed," Smitley noted.
The team's record, as of this
writing, is three wins and one
loss. The next game, Dec. 1 at
home, is against Gallaudet
(from Washington D.C.).
Runmen take cup
By Angelo Vecchio
The Capitol Campus cross
country team won the Keystone
Athletic Conference (KAC)
Championship Nov. 3,
although the achievement was
tarnished by the fact that only
one other team, Alvernia,
showed up for the KAC-meet.
Athletic Assoc. meets goal
A recent attempt to raise money for Capitol Campus' athletic
department nearly.reached this year's goal, according to Athletic
Director Bud Smitley.
The Capitol Campus Athletic Association's third annual
Jog/Walk-a-thon was held recently and Smitley said that total
contributions, when fully counted, will be close to this year's goal
of $2500.
Fifty runners participated in the fund-raiser, designed to help
with atheletic equipment and expenses on campus. Smitley seem
ed pleased with the event.
"In the three years that the Jog/Walk-a-thon has been held,
the CCAA has managed to raise over $5OOO. This money is used
for things like uniforms and equipment," Smitley said.

in hoop contest
By Angelo Vecchio
Immediately preceding the
exciting Capitol basketball
home-opener was another ex
citing game: Capitol Campus
defeated Capitol Campus,
78-75.
That's right, basketball
playing alumni from the odd
years, 1973-83, defeated
Capitol grads from the even
years, 1974-84.
Capitol won, 22-36, led by Al
Newhart, who ran a time of
29:50, well off from his usual
pace.
Newhart wasn't the only
player turning in an unusually
high time, according to coach
Bud Smitley.

Top scorers from the odd
years included Charlie Stokes,

"Most of the guys were off
pace, and I think the hot
weather had a lot to do with
it." Still, Smitley was quite
pleased with the team's overall
performance over the 1984
season.
"Last year, we had a more
balanced team, with a healthy
Joel Hagger., This year„ Joel
had a nagging foot injury. He'll
still be eligible next year. But
other guys picked up the slack
-- guys like Rich Bergins and
Rob Legath, who hadn's com
peted before -- improved all
year long. That's how we
finished with a record of 12
wins and 4 losses."
Four out of the team's five
starters graduate this year, in
cluding Brian Bachman, Dan
Miller, Greg Nissley, and
Newheart. In addition to Hag
ger, Bergins and Bob Jurinko
could return next year. Still, the
outlook isn't all bright. As
Smitley said, "Next year we'll
be hurting. We just have to
hope that we get an influx of
several runners to join the guys
coming back. It won't be easy,
but we'll pull it together."
