spectively.
Last Saturday the Cubs held the-Buffalo
State teem to a 1-1 deadlock at half-time on
a Foal scored by Rick Rlose. Behrend kept
even after the third ouarter, 2-2, on Rudy
McCray's unassisted Foal. The New Yorkers,
however, manaP, - ed to score i two goals in the
final period to pull out a 4-2 victory.
7 /ehrendes Rooters dropped their second
game of the-season, Tuesday, to Bradford.
At the half-way break, the two teams had
held-each other to a scoreless tie. The
dovn-staters managed to push across one
goal in the third auarter, and an insurance
score in. the fourth period, making the
score 2-0 at the end of the game.
Coach Ed Onorato was pleased with
the Cub's performance against the rugged
team from Buffalo, which beat Behrend last
year, 8-0. After the Bradford game, the
coach said, "We outplayed Bradford in the
second half, even though that's when they
scored their two goals. We had a lot of
shots but we just couldn't score."
This Saturday is the Cubs lest home
game of the season. This last home stand
is against 'Lorain County Community College.
The game starts at 2:00 p.m. and the Cubs
will be out to even up their record at 2-2.
This will be the first time that these two
teams have ever clashed on the soccer field.
Next Tuesday's game, the fifth of the
year, is against the Fredonia State Fresh
men team. If last year's encounters have
any bearing on this year's game, then it
is going to be 'bloody battle. Last
year we played Fredonia twice. The first
game we battled to a 2-2 tie. The second
game we went to Fredonia, N.Y. to play
on their field. We lest that one by a
score of 3-1. This year we play them
only once and on thier field... This will
be the first away game of the season and
gets underway at 4:00 p.m.
The Cubs have the potential to take
both games if they put their minds and
becks to it!!

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
by Pete Eichenlaub
Don Finnell, the goalie of the soccer
team, has shown consistent effort and sbili
since the soccer season began. Because of
his outstanding performance in the last two
games, Don has '-een chosen "Athlete of the
Week."
Finnell, a newcomer to the game of
soccer, has displayed exceptional adapt
ability and talent in his first season. Hi
value to the team cannot be measured in the
standard sense of the word, but an example
of his worth can be shown by the numher
of "saves" he has made. Against Buffalo
State's powerful offense, Don turned back
eighteen possible goals and ten against
Bradford-Pitt. Figuring that the 1967
Harborcreek grad has allowed only six goals
to be scored, this comes out to an .800 per
centage, which is extremely high for Junior
College competition.
Intercollegiate baskethall practice
starts Monday. Any interested students who
weren't at Tuesday's meeting are invited to
attend.
ToniP,ht at 9: ?0 the Rooster Club will
sponsor a rally roast in support of the
lest home soccer game against Lorain County
Community College. Bring a friend to keep
you Toarm, and bring your stick to ...
