‘spring’ training.
Baseball Team
On The Stick
The outlook for Behrend’s 1971
baseball team appears very
bright as the team prepares for
its season opener April 14. Coach
Stoner has a wealth of talent to
work with.
Returning from last year is
second baseman Terry Kestle, a
former All-County star at Fort
Leßoeuf. Kestle was a plus .300
bitter and an excellent defensive
player for the Cubs last year. He
apparently is set at second base
at this point.
Other returnees from last year
include Ron Wasson, Shelby
Flom, Rich Weldon, Jack
Richenbacher, Ed Deni, and
Mike McGinley.
Another All-County performer,
Donny Hill, from Iroquois High
School, will most likely gain an
infield position on the starting
nine. Jim Greishober and Don
Raydo are sure shots for catcher
and'outfielder respectively. Both
will also see some pitching duty
during the season.
The pitching staff looks tough
at this point. It is led by
Behrend’s third All-County
player, hard throwing Mark
Lytle. Lytle, who will be
counted on heavily this season, is
described by Coach Stoner as his
bv Tony Alo
CUB Sports Writer
“number one” hurler. Other
members of the mighty mound
staff will include multi-talented
Dave Ruef, who will most likely
double at first base, Tom Wright,
Rich Shroeder, Dwight Weibel,
Raydo, Greishober, and Mike
Kushinikon, the only southpaw on
the staff.
Other players who will
probably see action are Rich
Veely, Tom Harvey, Jack Fava,
Jim Bowser, Bob Marx, Gary
Miller, Roger Spacht, Tom
Ramsdell, Bob Rack, and Greg
Shaw. All have good chances of
breaking into the starting nine.
Doug Hoover, Jerry Kinston,
Craig Blum, Mark Hedges, and
Mike Wolf are also out for the
team.
Except for Kestle, Hill, Raydo,
and Greishober and most of the
pitching staff, everything is still
“up in the air” as far as the
starting lineups are concerned.
Intra-squad games and scrim
mages against area high schools
are scheduled before opening
day. These games will serve to
show the coach “what some of his
people look like” under game
conditions.
Definitely, the strong points of
die team are its pitching and
defense. The hitting is not
Dverpowering although there are
a few “big sticks'’ on the team.
Most of the players are single
hitters.
The attitude of the team is
excellent and spirit is sky-high.
Coach Stoner is very optimistic
toward the coming season.
However, it is just a little early
for him to present a clear picture
of how the season will shape up.
He was cautious in stating that,
“Potentially we have a good ball
club, but potential doesn’t always
come through.” Yet, if that
potential does come through, and
if all the talent can be put
together, many Behrend op
ponents are going to find
themselves on the short end of the
score this season.
THE NITTANY CUB
Golf Team
Swings
For 4th
By Joe Engerski
CU B Sports Writer
The frigid skies over Behrend
having not yet departed, the golf
team anxiously waits its chance
to use the first opportunity it gets
to hit the iinks. The home course
is the Lakeview Country Club in
North East. Behrend's first-test
will be on April 13 when the golf
team will play its first, match
’ against the Beaver Campus.
This year's team, under the
supervision of Coach Marty
Malkin, will try for its fourth
consecufive Commonwealth
Campus title. Coach Malkin
sounded very optimistic as he
told of four returning varsity
members of last year's team.
Although tryouts for the team
have been hampered by the cold
weather. Coach Malkin said the
nucleus of the team will probably
revolve around the four returning
members. Those returning
lettermen include Jim Codrea,
Gary Faulhober, Ron Kwasneski
and Ray Pagliari.
Jim Correa was the only
Behrend golfer last year to
compete at the Region XIX Golf
Tournament in Baltimore,
Maryland where he placed
el even fh wi th a score of 86 and 79.
It looks very much like the
Behrend golf team will be very
tough to beat as it has been in the
past years.

“We are limited on experience
and will probably open the season
with a predominantly freshmen
line-up. I expect mistakes to be
made early in the season because
of this lack of experience, but
hope that the team will steadily
improve as the season
progresses. I am satisfied with
the interest the team members
have shown in trying-to improve
their game,” commented Coach
Lauffer.
Team members include Bob
Mangels, the only returning
letterman, Jim Lyons, John
Long, Rick Caldwell, Jim Kyle,
Jay Baker, Dave Eastburn, Al
