The Behrend Cubs held two scrim
ages last week. The Coach remained
optimistic as to the team's success
this season after the practice games.
At least ten men seem eaual in ability
and Coach Sweating admits that it is
almost impossible to chose five
starters. Coach Sweating plans to
solve this problem by taking advan
tage of a strong bench. He has bro
ken the ten man down into two units.
One unit plays a better defensive
game. This unit includes Tom Taylor
at center, Can Chase and Ron Hornyak
at guard, and Joe Williams and Rick
Dylewski at forwards. The other unit
containing Bob Arpin and Tom Schultz
at guards, Randy Lackowski at center,
and Dan Casane and "Barney" Etzel
at forwards. This unit is good on
the fast break.
Tuesday evening the Cubs scrimm
aged the Gannon Freshmen. The two
unit system seemed to work well as
Behrend had the upper hand through
out the game. The units were alter
nated frequently with the first unit
applying an effective defense. The
second unit came up with a smooth
scoring attack. Although the
Gannon team was larger, Behrend con
trolled the rebounding. Eleven men
scored for Behrend with no individual
being more outstanding than the rest.
Coach Sweeting stated that he thought
the game was a real team effort and
that he was pleased with the balance
between the scoring and rebounding.
The team had a lot of hustle and
showed a team spirit that hasn't
been seen at Behrend in a long time.
Behrend's basketball future looks
bright this year. In co—captain
Dan Chase's words, "We have a well
rounded team." Behrend students can
look forward to a season of good
basketball. As the Coach stated,
"For a change s we have a ball club that
the whole student body can be proud of."
Remember--the first game is this
Saturday at 3:00 P.M. Cone out and see
our fine team.
At noon on T7ednesday the cheerleadc - 9
held the first pep rally of the basket
ball season.. A crowd of enthusiastic
students learned the cheers through the
instructions of the cheerleaders. The
Coach gave a talk introducing the member -
of the team and this year's co-captains
Dan Chase and Dan Casane. He also rema
ked that this year's team is the best
Behrend has ever had,
Saturday, November 20, was a day
that many would like to forget as quickly
as possible, especially those Behrend
students who were in attendance when
Penn State's football team bowed to that
of the University of Fittsburgh by a
heart-breaking score of 30-27. An old
cliohe which comes to mind: "It's not
whether you win or lose, but how you
play the game." But, when a game is lost
by three points, there is some call for
tears, or at least a few moans.
However, we can be proud of our team
for the fine fight they put up and their
good sportsmanship.
