STRIKES and SPARES
by Warren Bose
Bpy! You can fool some of the
peapleupart of the time, but let’s
it . . . some of us peasants
haven’t been “conned” lately.
I7n,referring to the identity of
"Chenne”. I’ve been reading that
mess for four months now; and
if it isn’t a certain eight-ball that
I know very, well. I’ll eat this
typewriter at Tenth and State
an&jgive you ten minutes to draw
a cjpwd. I call him an eight-ball
instead of a bowling ball as he
doesn’t have three holes in his
head . only- one. His name,
beyond any .shadow of a doubt, is
Ronald “Chiefie” Thomas. In
fact, I’m so sure that Chief is
Chenne-that I propose that we
him into.-the pool . . . I’m
willing to gamble on being wrong.
The;, pool might be frozen over,
but -if we drop him off the diving
board (head first) a few times we
should be able to batter him
through the ice into the heated
(?) water. .
Last ’ Friday night the faculty
(big^wheels), bowling, team tan
gled;; with the Jays (small frys)
bowling team. The outcome of
that,match was- the, Jays over the
faculty with two wins-plus total
pins;* Consequently, the members
of thieJays (McLaughlin, Chesley,
roil. • Webster, and Schweitzer)
can took forward to flunking out
of school as a- -result of- this hu
miliation. The faculty’s big gun in
their; blazing defeat was Mr.
Hughes, who bowled-high game
of the evening with a . solid 203.
There was one young feller rolling
for the .-faculty that- • obviously
didn’t have his wheaties for
breakfast . . I won’t mention
any names, but his initials are Mr.
Koch el.
The standings of the Behrend
Center bowling league, after the
third vweek;. of howling,. have re
solvedjru-the following sequence:
The Hawks are out In first place
with a 12-4 record; the . Jays in
secon£ spot with.ll-l; the Vultures
thirds with .8-4 folowed by the
glorious Eagles with a 7-4; buzz
ing along in. a 'fifth position is
the Buzzards'... 5-2;. the Cardinals
In sixth -with-4-8 - followed by the
Robins and Crows with 4-12 and
1-15 records respectively.
I think that it would be a good
Idea if we looked into the varioui

Wilson, with Peggy Forbes handing out the anxiously anticipated
letters. This'is one of the few days Peg escaped being massacred
in the process.
records of the Crow’s team, as
their firm hold on last place in
dicates that , we have a sick crow
in our midst. Captain Robert
Bainbridge is sporting a 148
average which is better than most
of us reclaimed tiddlewink players
can do- However, the second
[member of the team (Connie
Taylor) hasn’t shown us her true
potential as yet (avg. 64) but if
she is as perseverant at bowling
as she is at flunking music, then
she is bound to improve. On the
other hand, Miss Stadler is doing
rather well for the team with a
124 average. But who is this bird
Mr. Sandrock with a blooming
77 average? Ask your captain
how it’s done, -Sandy. Then there
is Judy Young, who bowls for
everyone; . her average is 110,
which is substantial. Mel Fisher
with an 81 average is really giv
ing it the college try and is bound
to improve. Whozzis Elaine “Pep
py” Peplinski? I heard that she
was the colorful personality on
campus. That is understandable
when you look at her bowling
average, which is 73. She is the
best bowler the other teams have
on their side. (Only jesting, Ellie.)
Sue Hicks rounds out the team
and is doing a good job with a
consistent 121. Well, Capy Bain
bridge, with your great sports
background and with this assort
ment of bowling fodder to use
against the opponents, we expect
your team to move out of last
place and become a contender
■for the championship.
In the high game department.
John Kolpien has displaced Bill
Schweitzer with a very game of
221. Nice going, John. Randy
liietoau finally came through, as
predicted, and took over the sec
ond spot with a 210 game. Sch
weitie nailed down third with
206. Laurie Hill is it in th c
women’s department with a high
of 168, followed by Nancy (pino
chle) Hendershot with 158 and
Phyllis Stadler in third with 155
Dennis Polatas lias constructed

See you all in bird land.

The 1955-’56 Behrend Center
basketball team has been prac
ticing hard and often and is now
ready to begin a fast and fiurious
season.
The team consists of eleven men
filled with lots of spirit and . en
thusiasm about the game of bas
ketball. Clark Jamison is the only
returning player from last year’s
team. There is one other sopho
more on the squad. Bill- Gordon.
Bill did not play last year, but
this year he went out for the
team and everyone is glad. Be
sides, Bill’s six foot four inch
frame is greatly needed on the
team, to say nothing of his abili
ty. The remaining nine men are:
Prank Simon, Lee Helmer, Jim
Courtney, Bob Jackson, Gene
Thomas, John Sechriest, Dick
Melzer, Hugh McShane, Bob
Bartlett, and Jerry Buzza. -
Mr. Simon is looking forward
to a successful season. Although
his average team height is under
six foot, the boys make up the
handicap with speed and shoot
ing accuracy. Mr. Simon has also
obtained new royal blue and white
uniforms for the boys" and he has
tried to arrange for the" games
to be played on the nights which
are the most convenient for th'e
student body. -
Bob Pierce, Jerry Adler, “Var
sity Club” Keinath, and “Wild
Bill” Schweitzer will .handle the
managing side of things, while
"'•’red Loell will, keep the score of
the games.
The basketball schedule for this
is as follows:
s'
December 9. Friday—at James
town, 8:00 P. M.
December 12, Monday—at - Al
iance, 7:30 PM.
