Behrend baseball
drops two
b Paul Benim
The Collegian
This past weekend, the Behrend
baseball team dropped two games
at the Edinboro Fall Baseball
Classic.
Gannon University handed
Behrend a 4-2 setback on
Saturday and the Lions lost 15-2
to the Fighting Scots on Sunday.
In Saturday's game, Scott
Frantz produced another solid
Behrend attempted a rally in the ninth,
but came up just short,
pitching performance by going 8
1/3 innings, giving up three
earned runs, one base on balls,
and striking out five.
Frantz was unfortunately
saddled with the loss because the
Lions' offensive was kept in
check by Steve Schubert's 4-
hitter.
Behrend attempted to rally in
the bottom of the ninth. Chad
Dworsky singled and scored on
Andy Wheeling's base hit, and

And now for the national news...
Instead of gambling, Pete Rose is making his
money elsewhere...signing autographs. Rose
charges $l7 for an autograph if it's on a flat
surface, $ 22 if it's on a baseball, and $ 50 if
its on a baseball bat or jersey. Don't think of
Pete Rose as being greedy though, he limns
himself to 1,000 signatures per three hour sit.
Or
ug hly one every 10 seconds. What a guy.

Wheeling came home on an RBI
ground-out by Dave Mazur, but
the rally came up just short.
Wheeling had two hits for the 1-2
Lions .
Behrend lost to Edinboro in a
one-sided affair on Sunday. Jim
Tibor, Rick lacobucci, and Frantz
had base hits for the squad. The
two RBl's in the game came in
on a pinch-hit double by Billy
Graham and an RBI groundout by
Don Rhoads.
Last weekend when the Lions
split with Allegheny, the club
had no problem with offensive
production. The squad pounded
out twenty-four hits, and scored
twenty-two runs.
This past cold weekend the
Lions were held to eight hits and
four runs.
Behrend ended the fall season
with a record of 1-3, but look
forward to a successful spring.

Land * - acquisition expands PSB
athletic capabilities
b Christi Luden
The Collegian
Some of Behrend's recent land
acquisitions will help to expand
the athletic capabilities of the
campus.
New varsity sports fields will
be installed on a c-shaped piece of
land located to the north, west
and south of Kanty Village.
Although plans are just
beginning and an architect must
be appointed to look at the
available acreage and
topographical issues, Athletic
Director Herb Lauffer gave some
of the preliminary plans.
"It's important to Behrend's
growth that the students are aware
of the plans and support them,"
said Lauffer.
The land will contain one
baseball field, at least two
softball fields and a few soccer
fields as well.
Lauffer also stated that the
new fields will provide two
things for the Behrend
community.
"They will give athletes a
higher quality of playing

sponsoring tournaments and
providing activities and games for
youths.
When asked if the distance of
the fields from campus would be
a problem, Lauffer replied,
"Initially it will be a problem,
but when you stop to think about
the future growth of the college,
the distance isn't really that far
and the students will be able to
adjust."
Lauffer also pointed out that
Allegheny college has a similar
situation. Their varsity athletic
fields are 2-3 miles from the
campus and it's worked well for
them.
While the varsity fields will
most likely be developed first,
the intramural fields along the
Mack Estate will closely follow.
However, as the varsity fields
are completed, the present fields
will be maintained and used only
for intramural and physical
education sports.
