Hazleton. However, Hazleton
had too much scoring power
that night and handily defeated
the visitors 120-84.
Hazleton, fresh off a
decisive 120-84 victory over
Allentown, found things a little
sticky against Mont Alto
Wednesday night but managed
to squeeze out an 89-85
victory. The Barrett boys,
Steve and Jim, led Hazleton
with 17 points apiece.
Next game will be Tuesday
at St. Pius X.

Come On Out!! Now!
What will the future hold?

Sports Editor
With one-fourth of the
season already history, our
basketball team is sporting a
3-1 record. However this
record could very easily he 4-0
or 2-2.
Fouls and foul shooting
have played a key role in two
of our first four games. Against
Scranton, our poor foul
shooting coupled with the
excessive number of fouls
committed spelled defeat that
night to a team which was in
no way superior to our team.
The situation was no better
against Mont Alto, the only
difference being that this time
we escaped defeat--barely, On
this occasion, Mont Alto
converted 21 of 26 fouls shots
to out 14 of 28. For the
second time in four games, part
of the starting line-up found
itself sitting on the bench in
foul trouble. Fortunately the
clock was on our side and time
ran out before we had time to
defeat ourselves again.
It is common knowledge
that an aggressive team, such as
ours, will commit more fouls
then normally but many of
these fouls were unnecessary:
Some were back court fouls
and many occured more than
3 0 feet from the basket--a
distance at which not many
players can score from.
Unfortunately, the opposition
has been scoring very well from
the foul line. Our defense is
preventing the opposition from
getting off a good shot and
then we give them the scoring
opportunity anyway by
unnecessary fouls.
In every game so far we've
had a commanding lead early
in the game thus forcing the
opposition to become more
aggressive and a greater
tendency to foul us. But the
reverse has happened in each
game. With the lead in our
favor, we continue to have
more fouls called on us and
slowly the opposition cuts into
the lead from their foul line.
To date, the opposition has
been exceptionally accurate
from the foul line, while we've
been very poor from the free
throw line.
We've already lost one
game because of our fouls and
foul shooting, how many more
will be lost for the same
unnecessary reason?

SEVEN SHIPS
Seven ships of years
Owned by the sleeveless ghost,
Cooling to be forever frosted
Three years later
Fate still writes with
A silver pen...
And the ships, fading.
With tattered sails,
Have vanished below the battlefields
(Yet interruptions are more than wars
When grasping grimy bootstraps-
While one hundred thousand ravens wait
Perched on an empty eye.)
IN JULY THE WHEAT
in july the wheat was high
so were you
and so was i.
"the perfect time,"
you said,"my sweet,
for making love
among the wheat."
we took some wine
we made a deal
we set up candles
in the field.
you spread a blanket
-made a wheat-walled room
the sky was our ceiling
our light was the moon.
we toasted the summer
we drank to the earth
we loved quite intently
we loved in much mirth,
until exhausted
and drunken
with july's sweet perfume
we blew out each star
and switched off the moon
"good-nite, now, my darling,"
i can still hear you sigh
cradled gently beside me
in the wheat of july.

LOST PUPPETS
Yellow castles, green lit seas
Puppets scream while angels sing
Dreams invade the silent sky
of ancient ruins deep in mind
Wooden heads, crystal clear,
Search for strings to guide
their fears.
If you don't buy a yearbook, nobody will.

CREATIONS NO. 2,3
Chariots at sunset on 10th Avenue-
Senator and Tailor load each other's gun
Even the moon is afaraid now;
Its tears of perspiration drop like
A human memory...
And its worshippers cringe now at their own reflections
As day ends and hate begins.

MEMORIES
Been away so long
times are hard
lookin down that lonely road
feelin my way across the room
tit I heard a cry
Caress the soul of a newborn pup
Under a fallen cloud
The sky is touching my hand
leading me
Until the flower beside my head
tells me I may go
Before the soil beneath my back
reveals another seed.

BALLAD 44
When the treeless horseman finally fled,
He ran silently on sidewalks
Made of glass and bones.
Leaving behind him empty lots
Filled with unchartered buses
And pastures of miracle workers;
Who remained behind in place
Like Chinese heatpipes or
Troubadors in a 9 ring circus.
Yet their drums give off no
Vibrations of time:
Their windows reach out
With fingers of temptation
To rocks yet unborn.
by mark colasurdo
WANDERING
I want to leave, just float away
change my life, wonder if...
Long time ago, way far away
within a beautiful dream
Above a cloud I sat gazing
While the world spun,
whirling round, wondering how
lonesome time standing by •
feeling blind, knowing why.
Smoldering fire, under the sky.
TOGETHER
Looking into her eyes,
Seeing the things I thought
Her thoughts combine with mine
the world crawls aside, glistening.
Minds linked with a thought
Eyes leading the way
Foraging, seeking, revealing.
Our thoughts mingle, quietly,
for they are one.

"How can you kill those
poor defenseless animals?"
"How would you like it if the
animals would start shooting
back?" "I don't see any sense
in killing defenseless animals,
they aren't doing anyone any
harm."
The above quotations are
the ones used most often by
people who are non-hunters or
who are the type that sit back
with an apple in their one hand
and a book in the other and
probably never had the
opportunity (or never wanted
to have it) to,get out and enjoy
the thrill and excitement of the
hunt.
When avid hunters
confront this type of person, it
seems that nothing the hunter
says or can say will open the
opposition's eyes to the fact
that a hunting season is really a
type of birth control device
used by the state game
commissions to keep the
animal population and food
availability in balance. The
opposition fails to realize that,
if no hunting seasons were
open on wild game, there
would be more animal fatalities
due to overpopulation and
starvation than there would be
due to hunters!
If the above fact still
leaves doubt in the
opposition's mind, a few
examples will enlighten his
views on hunting.
At one time, elk roamed
throughout' Pennsylvania in
great herds. The Pennsylvania
Game Commission established
an open season on these
animals in which each licensed
hunter was allowed to kill one
elk. After a few years, it was
noted that the elk population
was on the decline and, if no
immediate action was taken to
preserve the herd, they would
no longer be found in the wild.
Upon this notice, the
Pennsylvania Game
Commission immediately
declared it illegal to kill an elk
in the state.
by J.T
The same thing has
happened with other wild
game. Again it is shown that
great care and precautions are
taken when it comes to the
care and preservation of
wildlife.
Well, so much for the view
as far as the animal picture
goes. Now we look at the
nature of the hunter himself.
Another thought that
enters the opposition's mind
about the hunter is that of the
hunter's personality and traits.
The hunter is usually pictured
as a demon with a knife in one
hand and a gun in the other,
ready to take out all his
frustrations on the nearest
sight of fur or feather.
When the opposition gets
this picture, he should think
twice and automatically " X it
out." Most hunters agree that t
the whole "thing" about
hunting is not really getting
game, but just being in the
outdoors and closer to nature.
If one of these "indoor" type
oppositions were to be taken
on a hunting trip, he would
learn that there is a lot more to
hunting than merely killing an
animal or a bird. He would
learn that many other things
besides the game being sought
will be found and that many
other experiences besides the
experience of shooting a gun
will be had.
For example, let us look at
the many sights and
experiences a duck hunter will
have:
It is a quiet, misty
morning and the hunter heads
for his favorite blind-on his
favorite beaver dam. While
silently approaching the dam
an old dirt road, he hears a
rustly in the brush ahead and
to one side. He stops to watch
a whitetail deer appear on the
road to have a staring contest.
Wanting to waste no more
time, the hunter moves on and
the deer goes bounding into
the woods.
The hunter is finally at the
dam and stoops to glass the
area with his binoculars in
hope of finding ducks. He
scans, the area very carefully
and focuses on a beaver
swimming out to the hut that
he (the beaver) has constructed
in the middle of the dammed
off lake. Further scanning
reveals the presense of a flock
of Canada honkers impatiently
swimming Around in circles.
ready, to take to the wing and
fly south at any moment. A
little fruther down the shore is
a deer feeding on the moss
which grows only where the
water from the dam can escape
in the form of a small stream.-
The hunter finally enters
his blind to find that a racoon
has taken refuge from one of
his natural enemies. Finally,
the hunter sits down to enjoy
the air, the weather (any kind),
and the hunt. Even if he
returns home with an empty
bag, it won't matter much
because he has spent the day
just enjoying life in its purest
state, the wilds of nature.
So fellow hunters you are
left with that task of listening
to the opposition tear you
down limb from limb becuase
you enjoy the hunt. But try
not to feel too insulted,
because you know the meaning
and reasoning behind the hunt,
and you know what the
indoorsman is missing by not
enjoying nature at its finest.
Now a word to the
opposition. If upon reading
this article, the hunter still
looks the same in your mind.
"Stoop to our standards" and:
try it. You'll find that it takes"
more guts, stamina, and
outright knowhow to become
an outdoorsman than it does to
sit with an apple in one hand
and a book in the other caught
in the frustrations of
civilization, longing to be free!
