Nittany Narrator
By Dave Craley, Nittany Cub Sports Editor
THERE WAS QUITE A SHOW on the Behrend Campus last
Saturday, and the host Campus accounted for much of it. The
Penn State Commonwealth Campuses held their first Inter-Campus
Sports Day on the Behrend Estate and who can say it was not
even more successful than expected? Last year the chess, table
tennis, and bowling stalwarts from one Commonwealth Campus
would travel to another Campus for a few hours of sports fare
just as a basketball team would take on another in a singular
event. But a different set of arrangements this year provides that
three or four Campuses will visit another for a day-long series of
ping-ponging, pinbustfmg, and checkmating. Five or six of these
events are scheduled throughout the year at different Campuses
around the Keystone State, and Behrend, last Saturday, acted as
Test Campus Number One for invaders from Dußois, Altoona,
and New Kensington Campuses. Things turned out quite well from
a Behrend point of view.
WILLI SCHICKHAUS, Behrend's undefeated State Table Ten
nis Champion, forgot all about his injured leg Saturday afternoon
and put on another of his fabulous ping-pong demonstrations. Larry
Sybrandt was Behrend's other table tennis player and together
Schickhaus and Sybrandt were unbeatable in match play
New Kensington and Dußois provided little challange for the
SS-Squad, but Altoona, after running away with the bowling lime
light, decided to try for table tennis, too. Schickhaus won both of
his singles sets in quick fashion, but Sybrandt ran into trouble.
Going into the final set—the doubles—Behrend and Altoona were
deadlocked at two sets apiece. S-S won the first game quickly,
but Altoona's Frank and Davies battled back to take a tight 25-23
second game. The good sized crowd oohed and aaahed all through
the final game and then applauded loudly as Willi and Larry drove
home the match point in another hectic 25-23 contest.

Baker Division
THEY SURE CAN PLAY chess on the Behrend Campus
even the freshmen. Baker Division ran away with more chess
honors Saturday and advanced one step closer toward winning the
Dr. Bernreuter Chess Set for the second straight year. Sam. Hazen,
Nick Pallotto, and Dave Gardner dominated play in the Otto F.
Behrend Science Building and only Altoona again was able to
provide much challange. The only game lost by the hosts was to the
Altoona congregate but opening victories in that three-game match
set up the overall win and an undefeated match ulay record for
Behrend.

Gone With The Wind
A PIZZA PARTY was on tap for the visiting Campuses at
eight o'clock Saturday evening, but the players were well on their
respective ways home before the Dorm Girls came down to en
tertain (and partake). A long, hard day drove the players back
to their adobes and there actually was no reason for staying: the
victories were scantily distributed for the visitors, Penn State lost
a heartbreaker to the fired-up Army Cadets, and the Dorm Girls
sad they didn't want to come to the party because they felt bad
over the Lions' loss. But at eight o'clock there they were. And they
helped eat the pizza, too—all juicy, cheesey, great big fifteen of
them.

Schickhaus Gains
Second Goal
Tremendous is perhaps the only adjective that can best des
cribe the Nittany Cubs latest effort in soccer against the Erie
County Technical Institute of Buffalo.
This was the second encounter of the Cubs' against the
highly touted E.C.T.I. soccer men and perhaps the best soccer
game ever played in Behrend's athletic history. The first match
was a donneybrook in favor of E.C.T.I. by the score of 8-1, and a
shut-out was only avoided by the talented toe of a rookie inside
by the name of Terry Turi, who in the fourth period, booted the
ball home. This second game, however, was completely the opposite.
From the opening kick off, the game was nip and tuck with
Behrend showing more hustle and fight than their highly ranked
opponents. An example of this can be seen by the first period sta
tistics of saves by each of the goalies—Behrend 1, E.C.T.I. 14.
SHUTTER - BUGS
TO ORGANIZE
Do you like to take pictures?
Pictures of pretty girls and pic
tures that trick the eye? Would
you like to improve your technique
and swap ideas with other
camera bugs?
Then the Photography Club
should interest you.
According to the clubs advisor
Mr. Norman B. Patterson, the
club was formed to promote an
interest in photography, improve
the quality of it's member's pic
tures and supply pictures for the
NITTANY iCUB and BEHREND
YEARBOOK.
There have been no meetings
of the club this year as Behrend
has no darkroom. But equipment
has been ordered and will be set
up in room 103 of the Otto
Behrend Science Building.

(Continiz.d from page 1)
the auspices of Tom Garris and
Bob Lipsey, many acts could be
an inspiration for future produc
tions. Dry humor preceded each
act. Paula Harris recited a hu
morous poem on Customs. Dave
Manning gave a rib-tickling mon
ologue on "The Great White
Hunter". Surelle Tosher filled
the air with vibrant sounds of
the "Stripper" from the French
Quarter. At 3:42 p.m. Customs
was officially proclaimed ended.
The rewards and memories of
Freshmen Customs were available
to all freshmen. Unfortunately, a
few failed to reach out and grab
them. A cynical view towards
Customs shows a deficiency in
school spirit and self-enjoyment.
ißehrend's hopes were blackened
!somewhat by a broken leg sustain
ed by Larry "Looper" Loftus early
in the first period. But this did
not dampen the Cub's hustle as
they continued to keep their op
ponents at bay throughout the
second period. At the halftime, one
might see the jaw of a little Irish
man in blue windbreaker and a
delapidated baseball hat drop low
er and lower in disbelief as his
soccer men trotted off the field
to enjoy their halftime break with
the score still 0-0.
The third period was similar to
both preceding periods with the
two teams playing on even terms
for the first fifteen minutes. Then
with aproximatly five minutes re
maining in the period, Willie
Schickhaus deftly side stepped a
huge mountin in a red E. C.
uniform and banged a goal. Pan
dimonium broke loose as Guod
Nazorp practiced his rescue carry
of Willi down the field and
"Knute" croaked to see Behrend
take the lead.
Unfortunatly the joy was short
lived as Tech came early in the
last period to knot the score with
a penalty kick and later move
ahead on a freak goal as big T. I.
couldn't quite stretch his toe to
the top of the goal to avert an
other score. Behrend continued
fighting to the end with Tech ad
ding one more goal and stealing
a victory from Behrend's grasp 3-1.
The fierceness of the game
could only be seen at the end as
Behrend's courageous combatants
hobbled and helped one another
from the field. How sweet it would
have been. And by chance if a
Fredonia "Bluedevil" is reading
this article - Beware.
The Cubs lost another well
played game last Tuesday after
noon when the Slippery Rock
-Junior Varsity whitewashed them,
3-0. Several fantastic near-misses
featured the Behrend attack but
only when the ball actually en
