During Ray’s freshman year in high school, he played third base on the baseball team, and in the summer between his sophomore and junior year, he played third base with an industrial team (a team organized by a manufactur ing plant) in competition with other plant teams. After his junior year, when Ray’s highest batting average was .412, he was offered a contract with a class D professional team, but be cause he wanted to continue par ticipating in high school baseball in his senior year, he rejected the baseball contract. Ray’s baseball career was not discontinued because of his en listment in the army after gradua tion from high school in June of ‘46. While being stationed at Camp Stoneman in California, Ray play ed third base with the camp team. There he met Tom Brownman who was playing short stop and now plays with the Brooklyn Dodgers. For four weeks in June of ‘47 .Ray was stationed at Stewart Field, and while in New York he played a benefit game at the Yankee Stadium. In July of ‘47 Ray was sent to Fort Monmouth. The Fort Mon mouth team was entered in the championship games among the army camps in .the first army area. The Fort Monmouth team won the championship with Ray playing his position at third base. From Fort Monmouth, Ray was stationed at West Point when he started baseball practice, the first part of April of ‘4B. He played ball for three weeks before he re ceived an injury to his shoulder and was hospitalized for one month until he was discharged. Because of this injury to his shoulder he could no longer play infield, so last summer he pitched for an independent team over the week-ends. This year, Ray will play in the city league, and also play with the New York Penna. League. He hopes to play third base or short stop and perhaps do some relief pitching. Best of luck to you, Buster!

ERIE, R 4. i Qothes for the Family THE NITTANY CUB BEHREND BAS According to a slight error in the McKeesport paper Behrend Center’s floor team had a total of twenty-six victories and eight de feats over the fading seasons. How dare they say we lost any games! Our “packet-full" schedule ended with a string of four wins and no losses. Jim Milliard was high scorer for the season with a total of fifty nine points, almost fifteen points a game. Although not a point scorer, Ray Reed was one of the most valuable men on the squad. His work under both baskets was flawless and his Shots timely. ■ A 1 Liebau also was excellent off the boards. Although an excellent shot A 1 had some trouble finding the range at times. A 1 really hit his stride in the first Dravosburg game when he sank twenty points. Tom Pearce, a dead eye on long shots, played on the outside on both offense and defense. Tom was the main-spring in setting- up the fast breaks. His excellent drib bling and clever ball-handling was a sore spot to .all opponents. Another all around performer was Bob Gallagher, who added snap to both offense and defense. Behrend had little trouble tak ing the first two games which were played at Lawrence Park. The scores were 59-26 over Brad ford and 56-36 topping Dravosburg. At Bradford the team didn’t have a “breeze.” The final score was 38-28 after a very rough game, with Behrend on the long end. That night proved very eventful as Jim Milliard’s car broke down outside of .Carry and he and five other members of the team were stranded there all night. Ever reliable Mr. Demp and Miss Ficker were there to pick them up at eight o’clock the next morning. It seems that Jim’s car is sensitive to name calling. In the second Dravosburg game played at the McKeesport “Y” ‘ near Pittsburgh, the opponents gave a better account of them selves for the first half. However, with the leaving of their 6 ft. 5 in., center at the sixteen minute mark, Behrend started rolling once again. The final outcome was 50-29 with Behrend on top. Reports have it that everyone had a wonderful time at Pitts burgh the week-end of the Dravosburg game. They really got around Pittsburgh, and one car even had a flat tire on the Boule vard of the Allies. Note that, “Pappy!” Behrend’s basketball season was a great success due mainly to the efforts of Coach Marvin Demp. His untiring work was appreciated by all. Following are the results and line-up of the final game with Dravosburg: Behrend FG F FTS Reed r — 3 17 Bernard 2 0 4 Gallagher 0 0 Gourley Mullard Liebau Pearce 0 0 0 Chesley TBALL WIND-UP Stephan Oil Lee 6 2 14 SafcoTOki 2 2 6 Schoor 0 0 0 Brennen 0 2 2 Blade 3 0 6 Candidates Are Reporting for Behrend Golf An 18 hole qualifying round was held on Wednesday, April 20th, on the Lawrence Park Golf Club layout to determine team members for Behrend Center’s first college golf squad. With the local college planning to carry a six man team, there promises to be a stiff battle for positions on the regular lineup. Some dozen or so candidates have registered thus far with Coach Marvin L. Demp. Among them are the 1947 Scholastic Champ Jim Milliard of Strong Vincent and Donald Blair, former number one man on East’s divot digging squad. Others include: Ray Reed, A 1 Lietaau, Donald Beal, Vincent Mays, John Spierling, Ed Kittka, Bob Monahan, Bob Miller, Benny Bernard, Tom Pearce and Joe Rynewicz. Continued from Page Two State’s newest branch, Behrend. There is little need to reiterate on our English Dean’s life at Behrend, for we all realize the debt owed to him. Besides doing a ■bang up job as English Composi tion 1 and 5 instructor, Mr. Thur bon organized our school paper, the Cub, brought a bowling league into being, spurred our golf team into shape, and handled several projects such as the trip to the Penn State —Pitt football game, (hard as this is to mention.) As for . hobbies, omathology (bird study for you laymen) ranks first with golf crowding the rail. All sports seem to fascinate “our boy.” He also likes to read autobio graphies and good novels. Among his favorites are: “The Robe” or “The Big Fisherman.” Last, but not least, is his love of midnight snacks at which he excells. So with this, probably our last “Cub” edition of 1949, it is only fitting that we salute our founder and “Chief”, David G. Thurbon. Lois Braden is a popular gal in Behrend’s “dorm”. If it wasn’t for her many cute habits and jokes, I don’t know what the girls would do to get topics for their themes! (Hope you don’t mind, Mr. Thur bon.) 5 0 10 <Tnnrrgrinnnrryr^ | rollerskate! o at the ° l 12th St. Skating Rink ° l > Eve.—Tuesj, Thurs„ Fri., Sat., ° o and Sun.. 8 'to 11 ° s ' Mat. —Tuec., Thurs. and Sun. ° ® . 2 to 4:30k ° 6 3 IS 2 3 7 3 17 Totals 21 8 60 Dravosburg Totals 11 7 28 Mr. Thurbon SPORTS •* • £it •• • GLANCE By Ottaway and Beniard With the coming of spring the sports at Behrend Center have in creased. Horseshoes, baseball, vol ley 'ball, archery, golf, and outdoor basketball are in full swing. Construction of the tennis court and cleaning of the swimming pool are now in progress, and will be ready after Easter vacation. one is eagerly awaiting the begin ning of these two activities. The horseshoe pits, made by the boys of the Physical Education class under the supervision of Mr. Marvin Demp,' Athletic Director. Participation in this is not limit ed to boys alone .for the girls are also showing skill at throwing shoes. We have noticed the sun burns sported, by Shirley T,ind<*r and Ray Reed as a result of this. On the campus the girls seem to be exhibiting a lot more prowess at baseball than the fellows-could be because Miss Painter makes them practice more. A volleyball league has been or ganized for Wednesday nights in the Lawrence Park High School gym. As soon as the weather per mits it will be moved to the out door court on the campus. Our school is now boasting several “William Tells” in the per sons of Tom Pearce, Joan Baudino, Gene Sundberg, Lee Delia Donne, and Lloyd McGough. These “Ro bin Hoods” practice daily in back of the main house. The fellows you see running for" the parking lot are not in a hurry to get home, they are going to the golf course. The hill behind the chem lab has been adapted for a driving range between classes. Among the fellows showing prow ess at the old Scotch game are Jim Milliard, A 1 Liebau, Ray Reed, Don Blair, and Ken McDannell. The first two men on campus to get the gold bug were our own Mr. Gottlund and Mr. Thurbon. About the only sport left is our old perennial standby, ping pong. As this issue went to press the boys and girls were still fighting for possession of the table with the fellows still out in the lead.
