"The Day The Earth Stood Still"
By Wes Carter
A shrill •whistle interrupted a
calm, fall atmosphere; there was
a thud, of leather against the ball.
During the hours that followed
one of the (best soccer games in
the history of Behrend Center was
played. The Behrend Lions' rec
ently defeated the Allegheny soc
cer team by the store of 3-0.
To better understand the sig
nificance behind this great vic
tory, let’s turn back the pages of
time. The beginning was not a
practice session- a- month before
the game; it was not a team lec
ture a week before the game. In
stead, the beginning was five
minutes before kickoff time. Agj«u>
from the usual'pre-game pep talk,
the team was lectured on rules
and fundamentals of soccer play.
At the close of the team's brief
talk, it took the field with a very
pessimistic view toward the whole

STRIKES
By Dick Covatto
Strike! and the Bowlers in the
Behrend League are off to an
other fine season. The six teams
in this classic league are 'Wasting
the maples at a torrid clip. At the
rate the pins are flying around,
we’ll need new wood in a few
weeks. I do hope the howling
committee of Student Council will
look into this.
There have been several high
games recordted for both men and
women in the past few weeks. The
gentlemen of Behrend have four
games over 195. The highest game
this past week was your editor’s
effort of 208. Bob Bums threw a
201; this was the first game in
which Bob participated. We hope
you have a great year, Bob. Jerry
Mitchell of the “Bombers” rolled
a 199, only, one pin shy of the
200 mark. Better luck next time,
Mitch. Burt Hackenberg had a 198

situation. They knew they were
doomed to failure.
At one end of the field stood
the debonair© princes of Alle
gheny. Each member, seeming to
weigh no less than 190 pounds, was
clad in a good) looking uniform. At
the opposite end of the field stood
eleven individuals, all of differ
ent sizes and shapes, and not one
had a complete uniform on his
back.
The able bodied members of
this cacophony were Tom Zielin
ski, Cral Torrelli, Harvey Bain,
Bob Verbanic, Nick Smolakov, Bob
Sokoloff, William Roberge, Wes
Carter, Bob Lugo, (the toe), Dave
Rundquist, and Joe Rupczewski.
The team was backed by reliable
personnel such as Philip Smith,
Charles Bail, Charles Vandervort,
and Ed Muirhead. With a
blast of -the whistle and a cheer
from the crowd, the team took
the defensive. At this time I would

future, Burt.
As for the fairer sex, there were
four games over 150. Their high
est was Evelyn Balmer with a 162.
This certainly is the high game
for the women. Close behind is
Helen Goodwin with a 159. Delores
Davies is next in line with 154.
Janet James “Wrong-foot” War
ren also has a 154. With the con
clusion of four weeks of bowling
the five highest averages follow:
Dick Covattcfc—lB2
Bob Bums—l 74
Burt Hackenberg—l66
Joe Rupczewski—l6s
Bill Mosso—ls4

like to state that our crowd con
sisted of none other than Miss
Tudy Russell.
Through the consistency of the
front line attack, the team was
able to score. The persons who
scored) the points were Bob Ver
banic who accounted for two of
them, and Nick Smolakov who
aided with one. No less impor
tant were the halfbacks who
worked so hard to keep the ball
in enemy territory.
One of the most important fac
tors which aided in breaking the
opponent’s spirit was the long
kicks down the field administered'
by our great fullbacks. The goalie
performed in an extraordinary
manner by valiantly defending our
goal when it was threatened.
Many thrills were derived from
this game, but no one was more
thrilled than Coach Goodlwin. It
was for him that the (boys play
ed, and it was for him that they
won.

An important announcement
bias just reached my ears. Doris
won her first badminton game,
defeating Bobbie, 11-3! Janet
Warren has also attained a new
height. Jan, a faithful member
of Hackenberg’s “Choppers," re
cently ibowled 154. Laz is trying
to break this record, and with
her 100 point handicap, she at
least has a chance.

Judy must have more influence
than any other girl on campus—
so influential that she doesn’t
even need to stick pins in gym
class. She relies on the able as
sistance of John Cipriani.
The frosh girls recently went

know that one of the most beau

from a point directly opposite the
