It’s come and gone, and
most of Joe Frazier’s fans are
as happy as ever, but for Ali’s
fans, a small faction of
Frazier’s followers and those
of us who didn’t lean one way
or the other it left a dull taste.
A decision just didn’t make a
clear-cut case. It left
something to be desired,
whereas, a knockout would
have settled the matter in
everybodys mind.
Listening to the radio’s
round-by-round summary one
couldn’t help but get excited
through the early rounds.
You could vision the two
fighters landing crunching
blows in rapid fire to their
opponents Body. You were
waiting for somebody to land
the big punch, someone to end
it all, but as the later rounds
drew near you could sense
that horrible thought, “Oh,
no, a decision.” Frazier
raised hope in the eleventh
and twelfth rounds with his
staggering blows to
Muhammed’s head, but it just
wasn’t to be.
wasn’t to be.
The fight had been built up
by the news media to such a
height that boxing fans were
in a daze. They were waiting
for two fighters to barrage
each other with punches until
one hit the canvas. Those fans
were left em pty handed.
There were'thoughts of a
rematch im mediately
following the fight, even
though both men had
previously said this was the
end of the line. Had it been a
KO the cries would have been
silenced, no doubts would
have been left in anybody’s
mind...

As the Behrend Girls’
Basketball Team heads toward
the season finale, a league
championship is well within their
reach.
March 18, Behrend faces
league-leading Villa Maria this
week. A Behrend victory will
wrap up the league crown.
Because of finals, however, the
Behrend-Villa Game, which will
be played at Erie Hall, might be
played at an earlier date. Check
the bulletin board for any
changes.
Last week, Behrend hiked their
league record to 2-1 by defeating
a talented Mercyhurst team 52-
38. Julie Soriero, who has con
sistently led the gals in scoring,
came through with an out
standing performance popping in
31 markers. Supporting Julie
were Lucy Sweely (10 pts.),
Dianne Rossman (5 pts.), Jean
Bovard (4 pts.). and Janice
Koester (2 pts.) Mary Hoffman
paced Mercyhurst with 21 points.
The team sends out a farewell
“good luck” wish to Jean Bovard,
Dianne Rossman, and Kathy
Galiyano who will be transferring
to University Park after this
term.

When asked about the past
season Coach Malkin com
mented, “I can’t be too pleased
finishing under.soo, but the
calibre of teams we play are
improving greatly.
We were too erratic all season
long and we just couldn’t put it all
together. Compared to last year,
we couldn’t get mentally
prepared for each game. It’s
tough to maintain that peak, but
we simply never reached it.

Finish Season
“This season has been one of
my longest,” says Penn State
basketball coach John Bach.
“I’ve lost 15 pounds and gained
some gray hair.”
The Nittany Lions close their
season against Rutgers in New
Brunswick, N.Y., Saturday
(March 6) at 8 p.m.
Bach is a little grayer and a
little lighter after Tuesday’s 86-85
overtime loss at Kent State.
The loss dropped the Lions’
season record to 10-11 and kept
Bach from getting his 300th
coaching victory. The Lion coach
now has a 21-year record of 299
wins and 225 losses, including a
36-31 record in three seasons at
Penn State.
Penn State faces Rutgers next
and in addition Penn State has
had very little success on the
road this season. The Lions are 2-
8 on the opposition’s court and 8-3
at home.
Bach probably will go with the
same lineup he has used the last
six games. That alignment has
Chuck Crist and Bill Kunze at the
forwards, Paul Neumayer at
center and Ron Kodish and Bruce
Mello at guard.
Kunze is the team’s leading
scorer, averaging 16.2 points per
game. The Lions have balanced
scoring from Mello (12.0), Crist
(10.0), Neumayer (9.7), and
Kodish.
Bach went to sophomore Dan
Tarr when Crist got into early
foul trouble at Kent State. Tarr
responded with a 14 point effort.
If Tarr plays, he will be up
against former high school
teammate Gene Armstead. A 6-8
center, Armstead is generally
considered the main difference
