The Nittany Narrator
COACH JIM GALLAGHER is trying to set up another soccer game.
Allegheny seems to be the best bet. Experience is the keyword to Cub
success—and they will receive plenty of just that—experience—when
Fredonia State Teachers' College plays host to Behrend on Monday. If
the Cubs can avoid those penalty kicks, they should stand a decent
chance of up-ending the high-ranking Blue Devils junior varsity. As
viewed during their recent practices, the Cubs seem to be improving by
leaps and bounds.
COACH RIP ENGLE of the big brother Lions must be in frustration
over a hot and cold team plagued by injuries. A record turnout at
Beaver Field Saturday sat through rain to root State home, but time
ran out on a last-minute drive. State seems to be cold on even numbered
games, so we 'should be hot for game number five against the Orange
men of Syracuse this week. If the pattern runs true: PENN STATE 19,
SYRACUSE 17.
•CO-EDUCATIONAL BOWLING should begin next Monday providing
there are enough teams. The girls from Hamot are interested, and that
should make matters more intriguing. If things get going on Monday,
bowling will begin at 6:30 p.m. and cost fifteen cents a line. Those in
terested in forming a team see either Coach Gallagher, John Fleming,
or Bill May.
CO-CAPTAINS of the soccer team are ED PAAUWE and WILLI
SCHICKHAUS. Ed's hometown in the Netherlands is Leidschendam,
although he was born in Barendrecht. Willi comes from Bielefeld in
what is now West Germany. He has been in the United 'States for ten
years, whereas Ed has been here for only fifteen months. Both played
soccer in Europe although not on an established team. Their presence
on the Nittany Cub squad, however, gives the team a foreign flavor
which elevates its prowess considerably.
FOCUS ON FREDONIA.

THE NITTAN' CUB
FIRST INTERCOLLEGIATE HOME
SOCCER GAME SUCCESSFUL
IN A HISTORY-MAKING soccer keeping the ball in enemy territory
game, Behrend's Nittany Cubs for the most part. But Behrend be
came out on the short end of a came more aggressive in the sec
-4-0 score last Saturday afternoon, and 22-minute span and had sev
enabling Grove City to even its eral excellent scoring opportuni
junior varsity record at one victory ties, including a penalty kick at
and one defeat. 10:30.
The match was the first inter
collegiate soccer game ever played
on the local field. Regardless of the
final outcome, the Cubs made an
exceptionally fine showing, kick
ing and heading the ball with sur
prising ability for a team with less
than two weeks practice under its
belt. From its Saturday showing,
it becomes apparent that the Beh
rend Campus soccer team has a
bright future.
Playing in complete contrast to
its nickname, the Grove City "B"
squad of Bainbridge, Becker and
Bostur accounted for all the scor
ing in the game with two of the
goals resulting from direct free
kicks at the twelve yard penalty
marker.
Lyle Bainbridge scored the
game's first goal from his right
forward position at 16:05 of the
initial quarter. The Cityites domi
nated play in the opening quarter,

Grove City outshot the locals in
the first half, fifteen to seven, but
this was only an indication of
things to come. At 2:05 of the
third quarter, Bainbridge missed a
penalty kick, evening things up as
far as missed penalty kicks were
concerned. But the Grovers' star
forward came back at 8:30 of the
same frame to put the Crimson
runners into a two goal advantage.
With two seconds remaining in the
same quarter, he bombed the ball
for his third goal of the day. Both
scores came on penalty kicks.
After the two third period
scores, Behrend was never in the
game; and in the second half,
Grove City had 21 scoring chances
to the Cubs' three. With an assist
from Bostur, Becker drove for the
visitors' fourth goal at 4:15 of the
final frame. Bostur later missed a
penalty kick.
