Page 4 - February, 1977 Baseball Returns To Campus Baseball will return to Penn- sylvania State University’s Delaware County Campus this spring according to Tony Filip- pello and Rudy Cerami, student organizers and captains of the baseball club, Cerami, former Senior Babe Ruth player for Aston, said 1975 was the last time Penn State had a baseball club. The club folded in ’76 because there wasn’t enough interest. “In 76 they didn’t have a field and they didn’t bother to look for one either,” he said. ‘We practiced last September and October on Penn State’s soc- cer field. It was cold and the 16 people who showed up constantly made the team automatically,” said Cerami, , “We will use Sun Village’s field in Chester. But our prob- lem is not enough financial backing from Penn State,’”’ he said. “University Park allocated money to its branch campuses, said Filippello, “The allocations Delaware County Campus got were divided among 20 clubs, The baseball club, which organ- ized late, got about $200,’ ‘The players will buy their own uniforms at $25 each, That shows how willing they are,’’ he said. Penn State will play William- son-Trade, Delaware County Community College, University of Pennsylvania, and Penn State’s Ogontz campus, according to Filippello. Sgt. Fairman, ROTC instructor at Penn State, will manage this year’s baseball club, he said.

Bennie, Steph and Inch were really good with the little child- ren, A clown, who would retrieve pucks for the goalies, would es- cort the tots within 3 feet of the net, The child would take a wind up and fire the puck. The goalie would try desperately to make a great save but the, puck would slip through and the goalie would fall to his knees, The children walked away with a sparkle in their eyes and awe intheir minds. It was a thrill of a lifetime, Clowns strolled through the masses of people and gave out lollipops to the youngsters. Bal- loons were sold for a contribu- tion, Bright-eyed children and adults grinned from eartoearall night long, Reggie Leach, 50 goal scorer, was all wet all night. Dunk Reg- gie was the motto of the people who participated in the game, “Rifle?” sat on a plank while people tried to knock him off and into a tank filled with water. “You think you got me!’’ ¢“Ri- fle’’ laughed at one participant who missed on his first try. Well, Rifle opened his mouth too soon, The second after he expres- sed his delight at the miss, he was drenched from the water, Reggie was in good spirits all night -- especially when Bob ‘Chief’ Taylor relieved him at the water tank. Reggie retired to the press box where he downed a couple of well-deserved beers, One fan, seeing Rifle, shouted to him. ‘Yoo, Reggie,’”’ Irene Rovane hollared in her Scottish accent. She motioned Reggie to join her and her friend, Flor- ence Adcock, Reggie put down his beer and answered their beck and call. “Are you having a good time tonight?!’ Reggie asked with an inquisitive but weary voice. -¢“We’re having a ball!’’ Irene and - Florence answered with amazement at their questioneer, The two women were speechless for once in their lives, Cameras clicked every second of the night, People walked around In circles to make sure they saw every Flyer and his game. There was a sign which read ‘NO AUTOGRAPHS.” This demand didn’t last very long, “When people pay $6 a ticket they deserve our autographs and the right to take our pictures,’ Joe Watson, Flyer defenseman said, All of the Flyer’s were en- thusiastic and felt satisfied that their loyal fans were having a great time, LION'S BYE TRAVEL FREE Play Tennis, Scuba Dive In The Bahamas - Openings Are Available For Student Reps.

Ac- cording to a study by University of Texas professor Joel Sher- zer, many of the languages are now spoken by ‘fewer than five persons.’ When the remaining users die, warns Sherzer, so will the languages. He notes, however, that at least a few native tongues are on the rise again, thanks to renewad interest in Indian cul- ture among younger tribe members. The Cherokee lang- uage is making a strong come- back, says Sherzer, and more people speak Navaho today than ever before, %k kk ok ANIMALS MAY GET HEALTH PLAN BEFORE HUMANS Farm animals in Canada may be covered under a comprehen- sive national health insurance plan long before their owners.

Slowly U.S.A, players have been infusing the ranks of the once predomin- ately Canadian NHL teams, One such player is Paul Holmgren, the soft spoken rookie of the Philadelphia Flyers, Holmgren grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota which still remains one of the hockey hotbeds in the US. He started young, moving from the playground in St, Paul to playing junior hockey with the St. Paul Vulcans. : Now that Holmgren has attain- ed one of the highest levels, that of playing in the NHL, he is managing well enjoying his job with the Flyers. According to Holmgren, ‘‘The guys onthe team have been great, they’ll kid around with me and are always ready to help me with anything I might need.?”’ Holmgren’s style of play fits in with that of the Flyers. His size and strength are important for going into the corners to dig the puck out, Another asset is his ability to stand in front of the net and cause general havoc with the puck. Opposing defensemen are already having trouble mov- ing him from out in front of the goalie. Paul has played on a line with Bob Kelly and newly acquired fellow American Harvey Bennett, The line was immediately dubbed the ‘Wrecking Crew,” Their play against the Islanders was a catalyst to a Flyers 5-3 win, | Holmgren has shown his ver- satility by playing both right wing and center, Holmgren says, “I don’t really have any prefer- ences as to who my linemates are, Whoever I play with works hard and we all help each other, As far as center or right wing, Paul Holmgren, American , I enjoy both positions. Wherever they need me to play I’ll play,’ Fred Shero and the Flyers have a much talked about system which all the players learn and execute, He said, “I’m nothaving much trouble picking up the sys- tem, It’s a type of grind ’em down, keep working type of game,’’ Holmgren’s job , with the Flyers is not that of a police- man or goon, His job, as he will tell you himself is to score goals, He remembers his first NHL goal, ¢Oh yea, it was in Toronto, fifth game of the year in the third period. Ihad two goals in that game, and it ended in a 5-5 tie,” Because of an eye injury, Paul plays with a shield in front of his face. He won’t let the shield bother his play, however, he says, ‘At first it used to fog ‘up and took some time to get used to. It’s not really bothering me now, I’m getting used to playing with it,” 3: According to Flyer Joe Wai- son, “Paul is a pleasant surprise, he scored some big goals for us, Other people have made com- ments about Paul and his play, Bernie Parent feels Holmgren fits in good with the team, He’s a big tough kid and he gives us toughness up front where you need it to win games.,?”’ Mel Bridgeman says Holm- gren’s biggest asset is his aggressiveness. He plays as ag- gressively as Clarke. He’s an intelligent player.’”’ And Bill Fleischman of the Philadelphia Daily News believes Holmgren is definitely in the running for Rookie of the Year. “I’ve seen him hit guys hard, so far I haven’t seen him hit anyone illegally. He can play hockey and play it well,” : low the directions on a gelatin package.
