I myself would not mind seeing such a matchup, although I might feel sorry for Bryant after it's over with. Our famed school spirit is wearing a little thin of late, in some spots, notably hockey. A bus list was put up for the P.C.-B.C. game and a grand total of nine (9) were willing to pay fifty cents a ride to the auditorium and take in a hockey game. Tonight I'd like to see some• one there to counter the expected crowd from Brown. A little support can go a long way. Basketball is different, perhaps because of an on on campus rink. Last weekend eight sophomores drove 500 miles to Niagara Falls in order to cheer on the five. The SPORTSDESK tips its hat to sophs Tom Tilton, Mickey McNeil, Bill Miller, Lenny Miragliuolo (any rela• tion to the hoop star?), Jeff Schulz, Dennis Quigley, Willis Quinn and Willie Whiting. How about eight fans traveling to Bowdoin this Saturday? If you have looked at our basketball record to date you may have noticed a very unusual pattern. We have won four, dropped four, won three, dropped three until it is now won one and lost one. If the pattern continues where do we go from here against Holy Cross? A petition is now circulating the campus asking the administration to consider construction of an area on the campus. I have been in touch with various people regard• ing feasibility of a rink earning money and in about two weeks a definite report would be ready. If the school is definately interested in making the campus a better place then such a building would fit their plans. Some have a defeatest attitude about the whole pro• ject. They have tried for so long that it seems hopeless. Quite a few times in the past construction has come close to reality and maybe this time it will make it. Whatever sign the petition if you can, whether student, professor or alumni. If you would like a copy to pass around just drop a line to the Sportsdesk c/o the COWL. A new angle on the Providence College sports scene has appeared recently, in the form of Karate. Don Smith of Brown University is attempting to form a Karate club at PC and Brown. According to Smith any interested Friar students would go up to the Brown campus for about six weeks in order to train under a black belt in• structor. The lessons would be free and after six weeks or so the two groups would form campus organizations, with matches between the two.
