Page Four Nittany Lions , Army Hope To Turn Seasons Around Penn State’s Nittany Lions travel to West Point this Saturday to meet the Cadets of Army in what each hopes will be a turning point in a disappointing season for both football teams. The Lions will once again be seeking to even their record at .500 (they were suc cessful versus Boston College), while the Cadets,- who sport a dismal 1-5 record, cling to the faint hope of a winning season. Coach Joe Paterno, faced with what could be his worst season since taking over the reins at Penn State says, “We have to find a winning combination—one that will play well under pressure. We are going to move some people around and make some changes.” The Lions have been unable to come up with a big offensive day since Navy. . , , , . T , One pleasant surprise has been the job done by senior Joel Ramich while subbing for injured Lydell Mitchell. Ramich rushed for 94 yards in 23 carries last week against Syracuse in leading the team in that department for the second straight week. The Cadet offense has been able to muster,only 40 points in its last five games. Opponents, however, have included 3 of the top 10 teams in the'country. (Tennessee, Nebraska, and Notre Dame). The Army air attack has been bolstered by the return of flanker Joe Albano. Albano has played in only two games, but still ranks as the Black and Gold’s second leading receiver. If past history is any indication, this will be a tight, low-scoring affair. In five of the last six meetings between the two teams, 11 points was enough to win the game. The Lions have had little success in West Point’s Michie Stadium. In their last three visits they have totalled only 12 points. Army leads the series which began in 1899,10-5 with 2 ties. The game will be regionally telecast by ABC-TV. Kick-off is 1:50 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time. Behrend Roundbollers Prepare For “The guys who are here want to play ball and that’s all I care about,” was Head Coach Marty Malkin’s reaction to this year’s turn-out for basketball here at Behrend. The “guys” are led by return ing lettermen Gary Boroway, DanPorath, Ron Kwasneski, Don “Worm” Williams, and Bill May. Promising newcomers include a Behrend first in the person of Glenn McKinney, who was First Team All-Erie County from Union City last year, Bob Hoff man, a three year letterman from Academy, and Doug Nelson, a 6 foot 5 inch transfer from University Park. Coach Malkin is “... very op timistic’ but so are all coaches at this point. This year we’ll have four or five guards I can go to which will make us much quicker than last year.” Last year’s roundballers wound up with an overall record of 1.6 - 6 and were the Penn State University Commonwealth Campus Champions. “We’re not looking past the THE ERIE BOOK STORE 717 FRENCH STREET ERIE, PA. 16501 452-3354 REGISTERED * TCeepsake DIAMOND RINGS WATCHES, JEWELRY AND GIFTS FOR EVERY OCCASION JEWELRY K—MART PLAZA—EAST 4447 BUFFALO ROAD PHONE 899-7825 ifh Eastway Plaza Office NATIONAL BANK OF NORTH EAST New Year Commonwealth Tourney, But this year we’d also like to receive a Region XIX bid to the National Junior College Athletic Association Tournament,” commented Malkin. Steps taken in this direction include the ad dition of such Region XIX teams as the Boyce Campus of Allegheny College, Allegheny South, and Lorain Community College. Behrend’s first taste of com petition comes in a scrimmage this Tuesday versus Academy. Coach Malkin feels the November 7th scrimmage with the Gannon freshmen will give first indications of what’s to come this season. Can Behrend surpass last season’s achievements? Ac cording to Coach Malkin, “It’s going to take a lot of hard work.” The basketball and wrestling squads at Behrend have begun practice in preparation for the onset of new seasons.

Intramural Football Through 3rd Round Director of Intramural Flag Football, Mr. Stoner, has slightly altered the proceedings this year. Instead of the six entrants operating on a strict won-loss basis, the teams are operating on the “ladder system.” In this case, there are three brackets, the teams were drawn from a hat to see what order they would begin in, and after each game the winner moves up a bracket and the loser down a bracket. The two teams in the top bracket of the last complete round as of October 27 will play for the league championship on October 28th, weather permitting. Brackets at the completion of the third round are: FIRST: Faculty AC and No Name; SECOND: The Mardi Gras and the Scholars; THIRD: The Savage Seven and Warriors. Corner turnovers for the Hawks.

Super fragile Joe Namath is about to miss his first regular season game because of injury since he joined the Jets in 1965. For those who don’t know,' Namath chipped his wrist in the Colt game and will sit out Sun day’s game with Buffalo. Was it really necessary to build the baseball field where they did? The entrance to Behrend had a lot more atmosphere before the change. You can bet Walter Alston had nothing to do with the Richie Allen trade. Allen is valuable as a player, but has never played for a winner. Walter" is a firm believer in the “winner theory” and probably argued long and hard about obtaining Allen. The New York Jets are the best . 1-4 team in football. . With old age comes injuries.

During this lesson you will actually fly a Cessna 150 by yourself. In addition, you will receive an official logbook with your recorded time. According to a Flying Club Advisor, Mr. Zimmerman, there is also an excellent possibility that a Campus Ground School can be established.
