ON THE ROPES: Former
heavyweight ehampion, Evandcr
Holyfield, is considering retiring
after dropping a 12-round
unanimous decision to new
champion, Riddick Bowc.
Holyficld said that he has
accomplished all that he wanted
and he wants to dedicate more
time to his family. Bowc, now
32-0, said that he dedicated his
win to his imprisoned friend,
Mike Tyson.
DRAFT DAY: The
expansion teams, the Colorado
Rockies and the Florida
Marlins, each choose 36 players
from the other major league
teams in Tuesday's expansion
draft. The Rockies' first pick
was David Nied and the Marlins'
snatched Nigel Wilson with
their first selection. Nied, a
former Atlanta Brave, is a right
handed pitcher. Last season,
Nied was 14-9 and had a 2.84
ERA in class AAA ball.
Wilson, a former Toronto Blue
lay, hit 26 homers and had 69
RBl’s in class AA ball last
season.
WHEELIN’ AND
DEALIN’: There were six
draft related trades on Tuesday,
but the big trade had nothing to
do with the draft. The Seattle
Mariners dealt outfielder Kevin
Mitchell to the Cincinnati Reds
for pitcher Norm Charlton.
Charlton had 26 saves and a
2.99 ERA last season, while
Mitchell, who was hampered by
injuries, batted .286 with 67
RBl’s.
NO RESPECT: My friends
have been giving me grief the
past two weeks about the picks
that 1 have made in this column.
In case you have not been
keeping track, I have been
wrong on all 4 of the picks that
I have made. If you are like my
wonderful friends, you may
want to put your tuition money
on the team that I pick against.
MY PICK: This week I will
change my poor performance of
the past two weeks! I feel real
good about this one! The
Buffalo Bills will not be able to
cover the 13.5 point spread
against the Atlanta Falcons. The
Bills arc coming off an
emotional win over the Miami
Dolphins and are ripe for an
upset. The Falcons, on the other
hand, need a win to keep pace in
the competitive NFC play-off
drive.

The Gun and Safety
Organization, formerly known as
the Rifle Club, entered its first
competition meet of the nineteen
nineties last week against
Edinboro’s Rifle Club.
The Gun and Safety
Organization sent five of its best
shooters to join in a match
against four of Edinboro’s best;
(one of Behrcnd’s team members
was discounted.)
In a match that lasted nearly
two hours, Bchrcnd’s rifle team
shot well. Still, they lost to
Edinboro’s team by 2.3 points,
824 to 801. Bchrend had three of
the five top scores of the night.
Afterwards, each Bchrend
member commented on how he
or she might have been able to
add an extra few points. Later, the
organization’s president Bridget
Mooney, said, “you all did quite
well considering they have their
own range and they can practice
much more than you’re able.”
Bchrend’s team consisted of
organization Treasurer, Kristen
Drawl, Vice President, John
(Duke) Ellenberger, Dale
Robinson, Andrew Festa, and
Chris Holliday.
The Ediribbro members were.
Can Prichard, Harry Lance, Chad
Berry, and Ron Yeager.
On hand for the meet were the
club advisors: Edinboro’s Dr.
John Polo, Physics Professor,
and Behrcnd’s Jim Scrafin,
Student Computer Lab
Coordinator.

Fall
ends
by Hal Coffe
The Collegian
The falling snow brought about
the end of both the fall season and
the I.M. men’s football
tournament.
This year, 28 teams played 74
games leading up to the
championship between Tau Kappa
Epsilon black and Smiling
Assassins.
In two feet of snow on
November 16, they dueled in a
grueling game. Steve North
(TKE) connected with "Gasman"
Dan Phillips for a 35 yard TD and
"T-Man" Dan Phillips on a 25
yard TD, but both 2 point
conversions failed. Kurt Spence
(Smiling Assassins) tossed a 7
yard TD to Rob Nelson which
proved to be the Assassins' only
points. The final score was TKE
Black 12, Smiling Assassins 6.
Billiards was held in the Back
Room over a two week period of
round robin and single elimination
rounds.
