BEHREND GAGERS OUTCLASS DYKE 80-75
Cub Courtmen Begin
Second Half Play
The Behrend 1964-1965 cage
season is at the halfway point.
Eleven games have been played so
far and 8 remain in the future.
So far, the Cubs have posted a 3-8
mark which could have been
much better if a few breaks and
better officiating would have been
prevalent.
At any rate, Coach Roger L.
Sweeting can be lauded for doing
an excellent job thus far. Facing
teams such as Point Park and
Robert Morris, which recruit their
athletes, Coach Sweeting has held
his own. With 10 games remaining
against stiff competition, it is
feasible that the team can better
last year's mark of 5-14. Certainly
we all hope so.
In addition to playing against
such stiff competition, Coach
Sweeting has had to assemble
practically an entire new team for
the second term. Seven players
were lost to the team because of
scholastic difficulties or for other
reasons. These seven were: Lou
Hoffman, high scorer on the
team; Frank Ramsey, second high
scorer; Ron. Rose, Rick Masch
gan, Ray May, Bob Mcßride, and
Mike Powaznik. New members of
the team are: Dave Schmidt, Bob
Taylor, Chuck Janicki, Wladimir
Eksarchow, and Pete Bliagous.
Remaining members of the team
WEIGHT LIFTING
CLUB PLANNED
A weight training club is being
newly organized. Need for such
an organization has ' - )e-z!ii voiced
by students interested in both
the security and availability of the
weight training equipment, which
is valued at several hundred dol
lars. Administrative liability for
injury to non-students also makes
-12 ch an organization desirable.
Beginning February 1, the
weight trainging room will be
available only to key-holding
members. A key may be obtained
from Mr. Sweeting, and will re
quire a one dollar deposit. The
money will be refunded when
the key is turned in upon termin
ation of membership. Any Behr
end student is elegible for mem
bership.
are: Dan Casane, Bob Arpin, Dan
Chase, Chip Carnes, John Carda
mone, and Dick Kennedy.
The coach certainly has opti
mism for the rest of the schedule.
Therefore, the Nittany Cub wishes
the team good luck for the rest
of the year.

SKIING, BEHREND SPORT
Skiing has become one of the
most popular winter sports in
America. Within the last few
years statistics show that more
people are learning to ski than
ever before.
Skiing is not a new invention
and did not originate as a sport
but as a means of transportation.
Skis date back to 1200 A.D. when
they were used by the Norwegians.
Tastes in skis vary, but the
average ski is about three inches
wide. Wood skis are becoming
popular. A good ski has a certain
springiness or camber, which
means that the middle part is
raised about 1 1 / 2 -2 inches when
the skis are unoccupied and the
skier's weight just allows the ski
THE NITTANY CUB
CUB CAGERS
HOST RIVALS
Erie Hall will be hopping with
basketball action this weekend.
The Cubs, attempting to move
into the thick of things in league
action, will entertain Point Park
Junior College on Friday at 8:00.
On Saturday, Behrend will be host
to rival Dußois campus. Game
time 's 3:00 P.M.
Ta 1.1 Point Park aims to be a
tor gn foe fvr the Behrend "5".
Park turned back the Cubs earlier
in the season by a 90-71 count as
their height was a major factor.
Behrend will open with Dan Ca
sane—who leads the Cubs in scor
ing with over 160 points—Bob Ar
pin, John Cardamone, Dan Chase,
and high-scoring newcomer Chuck
Janicki.
Ready to move in will be 6-3
Walt Eksarchow—who will pro
vide some badly needed board
strength—and improving Chip
Carnes and Dick Kennedy. Other
newcomers who may see action
are Bob Taylor, Bob Peterson,
Dave Schmidt, Pete Bliagous.
The Saturday encounter prom
ises to be a thriller, and person
nally, we think Behrend will win
by its greatest margin when the
students come out and vibrate
Erie Hall with cheers!
The Cubs will travel to Altoona
Dn January 29, and from ther ,
on to Jamestown (University of
Pitt) January 30.
to touch the snow at all parts.
When choosing skis a common
"thumb" rule should be used.
This means that the ski tip
should come to the skier's palm
when he stands the ski on the
ground vertically and raises his
arm.
A 54-point second half perfor
mance swept Behrend to its third
win of the season, an 80-75 tri
umph over Dyke Community Col
lege, in Cleveland. Leaders in
the Behrend attack were Dan Ca
sane, with twenty-eight points,
and Walt Eksarchow, with twen
ty rebounds and fifteen p pints.
After trailing by 38-31 at half
time, Behrend was ignited by the
defensive play of Bob Arpin and
the fast breaks led by Danny
Chase and Casane. Arpin and
Chase each scored in double fig
ures. Also contributing heavily to
the victory were Chuck Janicki,
Chip Carnes, and Pete Bliagons.
The night following the Dyke
victory saw Behrend lose a 46-41
halftime lead and, subsequently, a
90-73 decision to Ashtabula's Kent
State campus. Casane and Bliag
ons were Behrend's scoring leaders
in the losing cause. Behrend now
:has a 3-8 record, with six games
remaining.
