14. He was a big man also in the
late-January game against Dyke
College of Cleveland as the Cubs
won 79-78 in overtime, probably
the most exciting game ever play
ed on the local floor. It was Bob
play
with 15 seconds remaining that
McCammon's three point
turned the trick here. Other sea
son highlights include the two
jubilant games with Johnstown
College, the first won by the Cubs

bonus of three credits in speech,
Oliver added.
He said the exemption plan is
an experimental program and is
being studied by speech depart
ment officials.
Students' grades in speech and
other courses will be compared
with their test results to de
termine whether or not the tests
are too difficult, too easy, or
reasonably accurate.
Students desiring to take the
test, which is offered each term
during orientation week, may ob
tain application forms from the
speech department, have their
advisors sign them, then return

Odds & Ends
Two other big men on the Nit
tany squad were Walt Pierce and
Bob McCammon. These were es
sentially Behrend's "r ebo u n d
boys." McCammon totaled 46
points for the season and Pierce
scored 60. The remaining three
regulars, Doug Prozan, Bill Sau
ko, and Tom Apuke scored 30, 10.
and 5 points, respectively. Fifty
three remaining points were divid
ed among seven players who ap
peared with the club intermittent
ly throughout the year.
Some odds and ends (that will
live forever) : Doug Prozan loses
his mashed potatoes and gravy on
the Dußois Campus gym floor!
The Morning News' Doug Smith
broadcasts the entire Penn State-
Cub game out-loud to himself !
Rocco Agostini speeds up the
games by inducing the scoreboard
clock into frequent twenty second
skips! The manager forgets most
of the uniforms and the Cubs ap
pear against Bryant-Stratton
wearing dark blue jerseys and dark
green shorts!
It was that kind of a season.

S.G.A. President Jim Runzo,
Host President, states that this
should be one of the highlights
for Behrend for the 1962-63 ac
ademic year. "We are extremely
honored to have as our guests the
regular members and officers of
O.S.G.A. and their delegations, as
well as various University person

successful conference, one which
will help solve the many student
government problems which daily
face student leadership through
