Curtain Up Tuesday
On Cubs Basketball
The 1970-71 edition of Behrend
Campus Basketball gets un
derway this coming Tuesday
night as the Cubs will attempt to
avenge one of only six losses last
season while hosting Kent St.’s
Ashtabula Campus. Game time is
8:00 in Erie Hall.
The Cubs-, by Coach Marty
Malkin’s own admission,
“haven’t looked real sharp to
date.” “We are making the kind
of mistakes that you’d expect of a
team starting 3 first year men,”
added Malkin. As of now, the
Cubs have three definite starters
for Tuesday night’s opener. They
are Captain Gary Boroway, Ron
Kwasneski, and Glenn McKin
ney. Coach Malkin expects to
“shuffle” Bobby Hoffman, Ike
Burnett, and Bill May at the other
two starting slots.
The greatest problem facing
our Cubs at this time, according
to Coach Malkin is “the change
from high school to this type of
system. Even the sophomores
who played for me last year have
to adjust because of some
changes in my own thinking.”

First year hoopsters are
McKinney, Hoffman, Burnett,
UP transfer Doug Nelson, and
sophomores Chuck Darnell and
Gary Spragg. Four letter men are
back. They are Boroway,
Kwasneski, May, and Donnie
“Worm” Williams.
“Bill May and Donnie Williams
have come the furthest this year,
while Bobby Hoffman is also
looking much better,” com
mented Malkin.
Cub shooting has been poor
thus far. The team has shot near
the 35 per cent mark in their
scrimmages. Part of the problem
has come from Behrend’s failure
to adapt to Malkin’s “com
bination defense”. The defense,
which is either a zone or man-to
man full court press creates
many fast break scoring op
portunities for Behrend.
However, so far, things haven’t
fallen into place as they did for
last year’s team, which went to
this style with 10 games to go and
finished the ten unbeaten. Coach
Malkin says however, in regard
to the team’s jelling, “I see it
coming.”
Behrend will face the most
difficult schedule in its history. In
an attempt to gain more Region
XIX exposure, Allegheny
Community College Campuses
South and Boyce, and New Castle
Business College have been
added to the schedule. The
athletic staff here at Behrend,
looking to the future when the
campus will go four years
athletically, has established
relations with neighbor Edinboro
State. The Cubs will play the
Edinboro Frosh this year. All
four of the above mentioned
schools are scholarship aide
institutions. Coach Malkin ex
plains,“lt’s much better to play
better teams. You can learn more
losing to a good team by twenty
points than beating a bad team by
thirty.”
When asked what type of
season he expected, Coach Marty
Malkin’s reply was simple and
straightforward. “Undefeated”
was all the man had to say.
Karate Club
A Karate Club has been formed
by interested students here at
Behrend. .According to Bill
Johnson, a student of karate, the
club serves a dual purpose. The
Karate Club plans to teach karate
as a means of self-defense and
hopes to form a demonstration
and competition team composed
of Behrend students.
Future black-belters may take
lessons at the Erie Karate
Academy, 2220 West Bth Street,
from instructor Jerry Durant,
while those interested in tour
nament karate may take lessons
at the Booker T. Washington
Center under fourth-degree
black-belt expert Artis Simmons.

Corner
By Mike McGinley
The NCAA is trying to cut back
on expenses for member schools.
By 1972, each school will be
limited to thirty grant-in-aids for
football. Many powerhouses
have up to seventy-five, at
present. A national signing date
is also being proposed. This
would require member schools to
sign up all prospects for the
coming season, by a particular
date, probably in early January.
. . . Would you look at the
wonderful AFC Central. The
Steelers and Browns tied for first
at 4 wins and 5 losses. If the race
gets any hotter, the division may
melt... The Cowboys are forced
to play 3 games in 10 days
because of television com
mitments. After their game last
Monday night, they’ll play this
Sunday, November 22, and
Thanksgiving Day, November 26.
I’d say they have a legitimate
complaint against the
schedulemakers. . . Will the
ageless George Blanda ever fade
away? Blanda broke in with the
Chicago Bears in 1949, which will
make this his twenty-first season
in pro football . . . .And from
Cleveland comes word that the
Cavaliers are ‘human’. Their
first victory came last week on
the coast . . . And going into the
final weeks of college football tve
have Dartmouth at the top of the
heap in the east. Dartmouth with
the Lambert Trophy. Oh, no! I
guess the Ivy League doesn’t
impress me. . . Watch but don’t
bet department: Air Force over
Colorado, Ohio State _ over
Michigan for the simple fact that
it’s in Columbus, Notre Dame to
down LSU, soundly, they have
something to prove, USC over
floundering UCLA, Stanford to
get back on the track against
California, the 49ers to keep
rolling over the Lions, Vikings
over Packers, and the Cardinals
to down the Chiefs. Last week, 5 -
3, .625 pet. Overall, .708.

SA YGS SA YS:
The first step in predicting the outcome of the rest of this college football
season is to be judged insane. The second is to predict the number one team
in the country. However, since the only measuring stick is the UPI and AP
Polls, also known as the "Duh, Who Won by The Largest Margin Last
Weekend Ratings", it seems rather foolish'Ccome to think of it, this whole
column is rather foolish!;. Nonetheless, I offer up the Fighting Irish of Notre
Dame as the best team in the country simply because I foresee defeats for all
three other undefeated powers.
Before going on to predicted bowl match-ups and their outcomes, let's take
a look at remaining regular season games of importance:
MICHIGAN VS OHIO ST.: As much as I would like to see the Buckeyes
avenge last season's only loss, I think Michigan's Wolverines will prevail
again.- Ohio St. has a super defense, but the offense looked inept against a
Purdue team that had allowed over 24 points a game. The Wolverines defense
has shut out three Big Ten Conference opponents to date, and Ohio State
could make four. Michigan, 14-6.
ARKANSAS VS TEXAS: The first thing to be said about this contest is both
teams are overrated. The Longhorn's 15-14 victory last year smelled like a
can of sardines and I am a firm believer in breaks evening out. Look for the
Razorback's stingy defense to force a couple of Texas errors and spoil the
Cotton Bowl's hoped for "Battle of the Unbeatens". Arkansas, 24-15.
MISSISSIPPI VS LSU: The game, of course, has lost a great deal of it
appeal now that my choice for the Heisman Trophy, Archie Manning, has
been sidelined with an injury. To those who would have questioned Man
ning's right to the trophy, remember it goes to-the outstanding collegiate
player, not to the one "Most Likely to Succeed in the Pros". Nonetheless, the
game still decides the Southeastern Conference Champion, and the likely
choice is the Tigers. LSU, 31-14.
Now, let's move on to New Year's Day
ORANGE BOWL: TENNESSEE VS NEBRASKA. Nebraska has already
accepted a bid to Miami, and we have to go with Tennessee as the likely
opponent on the basis of the Orange Bowl's tendency to simply invite the two
highest ranked team's available. The game itself shapes up as a battle of
contrasting football theories. The Big Eight generally fields the biggest
teams in the nation while the Southeast looks for-the smaller, more
maneuverable player. The schools have two common opponents, Wake
Forest and South Carolina. Nebraska defeated Wake Forest 36-12 and tied
S.C., 21-21. The Volunteers won both games, defeating Wake Forest 41-7, and
S.C. 20-18. Look for Tennessee to continue the Orange Bowl jinx over the Big
Eight Champ (Penn St. defeated the Big 8 rep the past two years). Ten
nessee, 35-27.
ROSE BOWL: OHIO ST. VS STANFORD: The Buckeyes will be here one
way or the other, while the Indians have wrapped up the porest edition of
Pacific Eight football in recent memory. After having viewed both teams on
the tube this season, I think the only fair outcome would be a tie. Neither
team is outstanding. Stanford's defense appears to contain a great hole from
sideline to sideline, though, and the Buckeye's offense will probably be
chomping at the bit in anticipation of next season after a great hole from
sideline to-sideline, though, and the Buckeye's offense will probably be
chomping at the bit in anticipation of next season after a great day in
Pasadena. Ohio St. 38-20.
SUGAR BOWL: LSU VS AIR FORCE: The Falcons, who accepted a Sugar
bid this past Monday, are an exciting, wide-open football team. Averaging
over 36 points a game, the Air Force should create an interesting battle
against a stingy LSU defense. The Tigers from Baton Rouge are a logical
choice for the other bid. Not only do they figure to be the Southeastern
Champs, but they also are the host state's own university. Look for the
Falcons in a thriller. Air Force, 24-21.
COTTON BOWL: NOTRE DAME VS TEXAS: The Irish will have only
revenge to gain and the national title to lose if Texas does indeed fall to
Arkansas. The Longhorns are a classy team, many times pulling games out
in the last seconds these past couple of years. Don't look for it to happen on
New Year's for they won't be close enough to college football's cream of a
frost-bitten crop. Give the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame a victory and a
national championship. Notre Dame, 28-14.
Before closing prognastications, I have to mention one outside possibility
GATOR BOWL: ARKANSAS VS PENN ST
A guy can dream, can't he? The only problem is, this dream will most
likely turn into a nightmare. The Razorbacks will probably feel spited that
the Gator is all they could go to after beating Texas, but with bids going out
November 21, Texas will have already have accepted a Cotton bid. The
Lions, meanwhile, will have fattened up on eastern patsy competition and
will probably be sporting a five game winning streak. A Lion's chances
against a pig? Very slim. Arkansas, 35-10. *
Nothing written about this season in college football would be complete
'without some mention of the tragedies which have occurred at Wichita State
and Marshall University. For most of you, the loss would be more deeply felt
if the tragedy had struck our own Penn State football team. For myself, it
need come no closer. One of the Marshall players to die this past weekend
was a teammate of mine in high school. He was not a great player, in fact he
was unable to start for our team. It is for this reason that I remember his joy
when I saw him at.the holidays his sophomore year at Marshall, and he told
me of his regular playing status for the Thundering Herd. I can only hope
that he, along with the others'who died in these tragic accidents, has found
unending peace.
