Bowling
By BETTS
The “200” club is becoming quite
popular in Behrend’s : “laugh, a
minute” league. At least one bow
ler is added to it each week, and
it looks like .we’ll-have to start
a 300 membership drive before
very long. Evidently Thanksgiv
ing and bowling don’t go together
since we have only one addition
to the “200” series this week Hitc
hcock blasted a neat 218 to take
high scoring honors with “Hot
Shoi” Thurbon a close second with
198 pins.
Adele Gabin could easily have
walked off with uncontested hon
ors in the women’s division with
her high games of 164 and 131
had not Lee Delle Donne fought
back with three beautiful games
of 160, 117 and 123. “Stomp the
Alley” Linder caused note as she
rolled 145, 127 and 133 games. As
the averages go the men were
completely out-classed this week,
and those, three wood-choppers,
Gabin,' Belle Donne and Linder
have something to be proud of.
Let’s have a rally men, they can’t
do this to us.
The Cardinal “All Stars,” cap
tained. by Gene Sundberg are still
the champs among the teams, but
not by much. Their rivals, Harry
Schiemer’s Eagles soared right ov
er the Loons, taking all three
games, and are only 50 percentage
points behind. This could very
easily be an upset. Speaking of
upsets, I think Pitt was just lucky
and it’s about time someone put
Army in their place.
“Ski Captain” Gottiund’s Hawks
could claw only three games from
the under-dog Raven team and
Slmonian’s lowly ducks floated ov
er Schaffner and his Pelican’s two
games'.to one. “R. C. S.” Pen
guins can hoot at the owls this
week. They took two for one from
them in three closely fought games.
The Cardinal- champs could fly
away with only two games from
the Flamingoes. I just happened
to think’— Cardinals and Flamin
goes both are red what a co
incidence.
“Mangier” Don Mallick and
“Ace” Betts have a private duel
going on each week. First' one to
strikeout gets supper from the oth
er. News bits: “Tokyo Rose” Mos
kowitz makes a strike; “Flat Foot”
Fleming and “Brawny” Braden,
spark Ducks to victory; Holmstrum
beats Alexander; Daisy Mae gets
L’il Abner congratulations MF.
We lost an issue of the Cub
somewhere along the line and in
stead of throwing my column away,
I’m combining them so we have
news for a whole month of bowl
ing.
Ah, there’s good news tonight
Santa Pays a Visit
. By Nancy Merrick
’Twasthe night before Christmas,' when all through Behrend Center,
Many-creatures "were stirring, especially'the mice.
Our stockings were hung by the fireplace with care
In hopes that Saint Nick soon would be . there.
The teachers were nestled all snug in their beds,.
While visons of coming tests-danced in their heads
And Marilyn: in her kerchief and Bill in his cap
Had Just finished dancing, when they heard a rap ion the door)
When out, on the campus, there arose, such a ,clatter
Margie sprang' to the window to see what was the matter.
The moon on the-breast of the new fallen, snow,
Showed a midnight, image of a Behrend student below.
When what to John’s wandering eyes did appear,
But a miniature jeep (Mr. Horean’s) and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively, so quick,
Nona knew in a monen-t it must be Shirley'Linger (doesn’t ryme)
More rapid than Jean Shalkham, her coursers they came,
And she whistled and shouted, and called them by name;.
“Now Micky! now Dick! now Bob and Billy!
On John Henry! on Gene! on Tom and Willie!
To the top of the bam to the top of the Dorm
Now dash away, dash-away, dash away all”.
So up to the top of the bam they flew
With a jeep full of the"girls’ Phys. Ed. class, and Shirley too.
And then In a twinkling, Lloyd heard on the roof,
The stamping and stomping of each big boot.
As Joan sipped her coke, and was turning around,
Down the chimney came Shirley with a bound.
She was dressed in angora from her head to her foot
And her clothes were all Shedding on Don’s courderoy soot.
(you knew, , like suit)
A bundle of text books she had flung on her back
And she looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
Her eyes how they twinkled, her dimples how merry
Her cheeks were like roses, her nose like a cherry.
T Chesterfield cigarette she held tight in her teeth
And the smoke it encircled her head like a wreath.
A wink of her eye and a nod of her head'
Soon made us Behrend students realize we had nothing to dread.
For she spoke not a word, but went straight to her work
And filled all our stockings, then turned with a jerk >
And laying her finger aside of her nose.
She gave a quick nod, then up the chimney she rose.
Shirley sprang to her jeep, to her team gave a whistle..
4nd away they-all staggered like the down and the thistle.
But we heard her exclaim as she drove out of sight
■Merry Christmas to all, and to all, good night”.
A 1 Liebau has joined the ranks of
the “600”’ club. He accomplished
this feat by blasting out three
beautiful games of 191, 224 and
191. A 1 is now enrolled-in the of
ficial “600” club of 'the Erie Bowl
ing Association. This club is com
posed of the topnotch bowlers who
have gone over the 600 mark for
a three game total in league com
petition. This is quite an honor
but A 1 deserves it and we extend
our congratulations for such a
show of keglering skill.
If Durante were talking about
your 200 club, he would probably
say “Everybody wants to get into
the act ” Top man, of course, is
THB-JOTTANYJHJB
Tom Pearce with his smashing
242 game. Second is A 1 Liebau
with 224 pins and third, is Frank
Hitchcock on his high 218. Jim
: Mallard blasted his way'in on a
213 and “Sleepy” Thurbon racked
up 207 points. Ed Cunningham
and Mickey Monahan are close
behind with games of 204 and 203
respectively; These scores show
you who the top bowlers are, and
we look and hope for more mem
bers in the future.
This is the last printing of the
Cub until next year, so until then
have a nice vacation and a Merry
Christmas.

Best All-Around Back: First, E.
Petdhell; second, Ragal. Best All-
Around Linesman: First, J. Dra

Valuable Player: S. Tamburo. Most
Dependable: Chuck Drasonovich.
Eleve’s hoping for a squad in ’49
to rival this terrific combine.
Well, the nimroding season is
just about terminated for another
season -with only Jack rabbits yet
to come, (Dec. 15). Several local
boys have made good in the small
game bracket but no big game kills
have registered as yet. Most prom
inent of the hopeful deer slayers
were Tom Pierce and Jim Milliard,
who ventured down (in spare time)
to hunt “the wily pole cat.”
Rumor has it that “Harry’s”
Pratt is high scorer in the rabbits
accounted for circles.
Penn State’s Nittany Lions were
defeated by Pitt's fast moving bas
ketball squad last week 40-33. Pitt
must be a jinx!
Things are moving fast in the
newly organized ping pong league.
Winners will be announced from
time to time.
Mr. Gottland gives us the good
word to all turn out for a swell
time. The Ski Club Officers have
been elected and things are in high
gear. Equipment is the big prob
lem, but several hopeful sources
have been looked into.
Intramural basketball teams are
posted on the bulletin boards. The
games will be on Wednesday and
Monday nights. The Captains are:
Jim Mullard, Ken McDanell, Ray
Reed, Bob Gallagher, A 1 Liebau,
and Tom Pierce. The team names
will be chosen later.
The basketball league got under
way last Wednesday evening at the
Lawrence Park gym with two
scheduled games. In the first game,
the “Whiz Kids” captained by Jim
Mullard got off to a slow start but
gained momentum as the game
progressed and wound up with a
29-18 victory over the “Cord Swi
sher’s” captained by Ken Mac Da
nnel. Mullard was high man with
12 points.
In the second game, Ray Reed’s
Vets eked out a slim 21-20 victory
over Bob Gallagher’s combine. Ray
Sturgelewski is still muttering
about the outcome of the game—
something about magic wasn’t it
Sturg?
