cubs drop
The Behrend soccer team ended a four
game home stand, and began a three-game road
trip on a losing note, dropping a hard-fought
contest to Lorain, 5-0, Saturday, and losing
to Fredonia on Tuesday, 3-0.
Lorain controlled the ball for most of
the game with consistent penetration of the
Cubs' defense on the mud-slicked field,
taking over 40 shots. The Cleveland, Ohio,
team held a 2-0 halftime lead, and continued
to dominate throughout the second half,
scoring one goal in the third quarter and
two in the final period.
Coach Onorato . conmented on the game by
saying, "They (Lorain) undoubtedly had the
best-organized team we've played yet this
year. I feel that we played one of our
better games, but they were a better team
and outplayed us." Although it was a losing
effort, the Cubs showed tremendous spirit and
never gave up.
Tuesday's loss to Fredonia was a heart
llreaking one for the Cubs. Behrend dis
played better ball control than the "Blue
Devils" from Fredonia, but the offensive
front line was ineffective inside the goal
area. The score at halftime was 2-0 with
the "coup de gras" being delivered in the
final period.

two more games
Although the records don't show it,
the Behrend soccer team has displayed a
tremendous effort in all of their games
this season. A consistent leader of the
team, center halfback, Bill Benko, had
been on defense. The game captain for the
last five games, Bill has been chosen to be
the "Athlete of the Week."
"Willie; a returning letterman from
last year, graduated from Cathedral Prep
in 1966, where he was a defensive halfback
on the football team. Bill, however, made
the switch from football to soccer as if he
were a natural.
In the last two games against Lorain
and Fredonia, Bill has proven outstanding
defensive ability by breaking up numerous
scoring drives. Particularly known for his
"heading" the ball, Bill is an invaluable
member of the team and an inspiration to
his freshman team members.
This year's soccer season is slowly draw
ing to a close with only two games to go. This
Saturday, October 28th, will be the Cubs sixth
game of the year. They will take on well equipped
Erie County Tech, a junior college from Buffalq
New York. The action will get underway at 2:00
on their field.
This Saturday's game should be completely
different than last year's game. Last year the
C-bs lost to Erie County Tech by a score of 7-0
on our own field. This year's much better coon
dineted team should upset the Buffalo team and
take our second victory of the season.
On Tuesday, October 31, the Cubs will meet
again with Dußois Campus of PSU. This "hallowed"
encounter takes place at Dußois at 3:30. As the
seventh and last game of the season, the Cubs
will be out to duplicate their previous victory
over Dußois. The season's opener saw Behrend
defeat Dußois 5-2 on our own field.
Dußois is the only sister campus Behrend
plays in soccer and competition is always at
its highest when they meet. Last year we played
them twice and tied twice by scores of 2-2 and
1-1 respectively.
Since both of these are away games the team
will be traveling by bus. There will be the
possibility of vacant seats to be filled on the
bus by spectators. Watch the bulletin boards
for farther announcements, or see Coach Onorato.
Intermural basketball play begins
Nov. 2, 1967. All team rosters should
be turned in to Coach Sweeting's office
before Oct. 30, 1967.
