THE NITTANY CUB Volume XIV—No. 5 CUBS SHOCK JOHNSTOWN IN 88 TO 80 THRILLER The Behrend Campus Nittany Cubs pulled a shocking 88 to 80 upset over perennial powerhouse Johnstown Junior College Saturday afternoon and set the stage for perhaps the most optimistic basket ball outlook in Behrend history. Using a fast break and a man to man attack, the Cubs led the surprised Johnnies at halftime, 43 to 40, and then put them to rout in the final few minutes of play. Jim "the Hands" Golembeski and Jack "the Hustler" Bohman tallied 28 and 22 points respective 19 for good measure. At 5'6" Bohman hardly seems to have the height for college basketball. But what Jack lacks in height he makes up in hustle. His sparkling pumpers and fantastic fast breaking drivers kept the Cubs constantly in the momentum that eventually spelled victory. Golembeski, with those marvelous hands and tremendous ball con trol, is at long last the "big man" Coach Gallagher has been looking for. Jim pumped sixteen of his twenty-eight total in the second half and kept a pressure on Johnstown she could never over come. And his spectacular drives and layups kept the crowd roaring throughout the game. The victory evened the Cubs re cord at one and one. Friday night at Jamestown they lost a dull af fair to the tall Muskies, 65 to 44. Dispite Jim Golembeski's twenty three points, Behrend failed to show any sign of an offensive cap ability reaching the eighty- eight points it did less than twenty four hours later. The Cubs un questionably had stage fright. They tallied only two goals during the entire first half and limped into the dressing room at halftime trailing by a disappointing 26 to 12. Only when they switched to a quicker paced man to man did the chilly blood start moving and the baskets start coming. But the lead the Muskies had gained in the first twenty minutes was too big for the Cubs to overcome, and the christening of the new Community College gymnasium was a rather large success. The Cubs are back on the road this weekend and the two games they play before the holidays loom very important indeed. Altoona and Dubois Campuses supply the opposition tonight and tomorrow night.

Bob Ropelewski, Edith Behrend Will See Many Changes Over Vacation The face of Behrend will have undergone extensive plastic surgery by the time that students resume classes after their Christ mas vacation. Changes will be made in four of the campus' buildings during the December 6-January 7, vacation period. Included among these buildings are the library, Turnbull Hall, Erie Hall, and the adminis tration building.

No definite plans have yet been approved for the area left vacant by the removal of the cafeteria from the administration building. It has been suggested, however, that the space will probably be used as a study area for the dorm girls. Erie Hall will also undergo several changes. Under an SGA submitted plan, layout of the basement recreation area will be given considerable revamping. Re location of ping-pong and pool tables and the purchase of several new pieces of furniture by the SGA highlight the changes being made in this building.
