After the game, Coach Roger Sweeting
sain, "I was pressed with the game our boys
played. Although New Kensington had the
height advantage, we played a good quick
game; hitting about 50% of our shots--and
that's mod shooting in anybody's league."
Tuesday night-however the Cubs had their
record evened at 1-1 when they traveled to
the Ashtabula Campus of Kent State. Behrend
hoopsters were dropped by the tall and power

Kaufmann and McGregor - both scoring 17 points.
Although the Cubs out-rebounded Ashtabula
for the whole game, the Ohio team shot for

Erie County Tech and Johnstown will be the
tvo tough est teams we face all year, so we
