WIN STREAK 7
Cubs Undefeated At Home
Zimmerman Breaks Record
The last two weeks have prov
en to be very profitable for the
Cub Basketball team as well as
for Doug Zimmerman, one of the
most talented athletes ever to hit
Behrend. First of all, the Cubs
won three more in a row to in
crease their winning streak to 7
and an undefeated home record.
However, perhaps more important
than that was Doug Zimmerman's
record breaking 45 point game
against Jamestown on February
4. Doug broke the previous Beh
rend Campus individual scoring
record of 44.
In the February 6 game against
Cuyahoga (the toughest team the
Cubs have played this season)
Doug won the game for the team
by scoring the winning points in
the last 6 seconds of the game
wwith two foul shots. He also
showed his talent of picking off
the rebounds in those last three
games.
The first of the three victims of
Behrend was Jamestown. It was
in this game that Doug broke the
campus' old scoring record. In ad
dition he copped 18 rebounds.
Other high scorers were Gary
Boroway with 26, Dan Porith
with 19 and Rob Schweitzer with
12. The last time Behrend played
Jamestown the Cubs outpointed
them by only 6 points. This time
they ran up the scoreboard with a
130-83 victory. Once again Coach
Malkin's hoopers applied their
tough zone-press forcing James l
town into 25 turnovers. Shooting
for the night came out to 48%
from the field and 11% from the
foul line.
- Perhaps the biggest thriller in
Behrend history was the game

THE DIAMOND HOUSE
IN ERIE
DAVID
JEWELERS
802 State St.
and Liberty Plaza
against Cuyahoga last Saturday.
Here was the greatest example of
a strong comeback in the scond
half. In the first half, the Cub
tried to play the type of basket
ball that Cuyahoga played, which
was a running, shooting and
jumping ballgarne, with a man
to-man defense. Evidently it
didn't work, for the Cubs were
down by 13 points at halftime.
They were down a many as 19
points 6 minutes into the second
half.
Then the Cubs broke out and
poured on their zone press once
again. Despite Cuyahoga's ad
vantage in height, Behrend's de
fense came out on top forcing 19
turnovers. After shooting only
40% from the floor in the first
half, they made a few adjust
ments in their offense and shot
55% the second half. Mike
Hook beat Cuyahoga's man-to
man press with his outstanding
ball handling as his best game of
the season.
With only 6 seconds left in the
game and the score tied at 101-
101, Doug Zimmerman made
two foul shots to win the game
103-101.
Although Cuyahoga outre
bounded; as the Cubs made a few
mistakes by not throwing the ball
around as much as usual, play
ed an outstanding• defensive
game, and beat the opponents
from the foul line. The Cubs also
showed a well-balanced team with
four players in the double figures
again. They were Doug Zimmer
man Gary Boroway —22,
Mike Hook-19, and Rob Schweit
zer-17. Overall shooting came
out to 45% from the field and
73% on the line.

The league of the 3 paint field goal, the 30 second clock, and
the red, white, and blue basketball . 1 The Atherican Basketball
League, now its third season . . . The ABA plays a different brand
of basketball than the established NBA . . . Shorter centers cause
much action to shift to the guards, who the extra six seconds to
work plays that the NBA couldn't run as effectively . . . Here is a
rundown on each ABA team, its record, and their better players . . .
~ j ~h
East Division . • . First place belongs to the Indiana Pacers, who
sport a 41-12 record . . . Their power lies in the Forecourt where
last year's MVP, Mel Daniels plays center and Roger Brown and
Bob Netolicky are the forwards . . . The Second place 'Kentucky Co
lonels (30=22) rely on a pair of slick guards Darel Carrier and Louie
Dampier • . . Third place belongs to the Carolian Cougars (24-27)
. . . They feature a group of mostly North Carolina players, with Bob
Verga, a guard, the only player left from this transformed Houston
Maverick roster . . . Trades brought in Doug Moe, a forward that
can do everything, and Larry Miller, member of North Carolina's
high ranking college team of 2 years ago . . . Incidentally, Bob Ver
ga leads the lead in scoring with a 27.4 average . . . The fourth
place team is the New York Nets (26-32) who boosted from the cel
lar doormats to playoff contenders . . Bill •Melchionni, an ex-NBA
guard, and Levem Tart, a forward who they traded away and then
got back are their best players . . Fifth place belongs to the Pip
ers of Pittsburgh, who are 19-32 and still feeling the effect of no
Connie Hawkins . . They are now trying to rebuild and sport only
one man in the top 5 -- of any category, that being Mike Lewis aver
aging 13 rebounds a game for fifth place . . . Sixth and last place
belongs to the Miami Flordians (14-38); who landed Larry Cannon
. . . They have Don Freeman to score points, but they lack board
strength as the team is playing without Skip Thoren, a proven ABA
center . . . The Western Division is headed by the New Orleans Buc
caneers (29-22) who rely on a hard working Red Robbins at center
and Jim Jones, a 22 ppg man, plus the team play and contributions
of Mike Butler a forward, and Steve Jones 1 / 2 the Jones guard com
bo . . Second place belongs to Denver and its Rockets (29-25) . . .
They lost most of their first gaMes and have played 17-2 ball late
ly . . . Their big guns are rookie sensation Spencer Haywood, a cen
ter who leads the league in rebounds (19.9 per game) and is second
in scoring, and Larry Jones, fourth in scoring and third in assists
while playing his guard spot . . The Dallas Chaparrels are third
with a 27-25 record . . . They are led by Charlie Beasley and Glen
Combs, and both guards . . . The Washington Capital, who played
the best ball in the league last year as the Oakland Oaks are 26-26,
good for only fourth place . . . A team shake up and injuries to star
NBA-transplant Rick Barry have caused their downfall . They
still have a slick ball handlers Larry Brown and Warren Armstrong,
plus Ira "Large" Barge at center . . They could be the team of
the playoffs, especially if Barry comes back strong (he's showing
signs of it now, scoring 16 points in 27 minutes in their recent all
star game) . . . In last place are the Los Angeles Stars (24-27) who
have two promising second year men, Mery Jackson and George
Stone, plus center Ed Johnson (6'10'") and a great coach, Bill Shar
mon . . . That completes the team-by-team summary . . . If the
ABA can "land" a television contract, and solve their problems with
the NBA (a merger is not the answer yet, as the NBA will field 18
teams next year, they could be here for good . . . One solution
could be a common draft, but this will probably not occur . . un
less tthe ABA draws over successfully the names of Dave Bing, Billy
Cunningham, and Pistol Pete Manavich, the 47.6 ppg record smash
er from LSU . . . To close, if the ABA can strengthen their weak
teams and get several more good players. the ABA will be a perm
anent fixture of America's winter professional sports.

NO COACH REPLACEMENT SOUGHT
University Park, Pa., Feb.—Penn State football coach
Joe Paterno said he has no immediate plans to seek a re
placement for Lion linebacker coach Dan Radakovich who
was named this week as defensive, coordinator and defen
sive line coach at the University_ of Cincinnati.
"We'll probably handle the situation by a realignment
and shifting of responsibilities of certain of our present
staff members—at least for the time being," Paterno said.
Radakovich, a former Penn State star, was a member
of the State coaching staff for the past 13 years. He worked
chiefly with linebackers and helped develop such standouts
as Dennis Onkotz, Jim Kates, Jack Ham and Ralph Baker.
