TORRI t FINISH
Behrend rolled to its fourth
victory in its last five games Sat
urday with a 96-90 decision over
the Venango Campus of Clarion
Tourney Held
The Winter Inter-Campus Tour
nament held at McKeesport on
February 5 and 6, had an outcome
like the Fall Campus Tournament
held at Behrend.
Behrend's chess team, composed
of Larry Petroff, Dave Ambro, and
Bob Quintilliano, came in second
to the host McKeesport Campus
team. McKeesport was the team
that dethroned Behrend from. the
title in the Fall Tourney.
McKeesport tied with New Ken
sington with 20 points for first
place in the bowling competition.
Behrend came in next with 15
points. Rick Maschgan had a high
of 198 for the Behrend bowlers.
Also seeing action for Behrend
were Steve Fine, Lew Steckler,
Dave Held and Paul Pecorella.
Altoona Campus was again the
powerhouse as in the fall while
taking the table tennis matches.
Behrend skidded to fourth place
but put up a strong battle all the
way. Members of the team were
Bill Bartlett, Tom Loesch and
Tom Bundy.
Toni Bundy must have been a
tired competitor when he arrived
at McKeesport. Tom and his car
ran into a few difficulties on the
way down. The car got a flat tire
and ran out of gas on a hill. On
top of that Tom and his passen
gers became lost and arrived a
little late. The adventurous trip
took about five hours.
Congratulations to all the mem
bers of the Behrend team.
