8 BASKETBALL AND HOCKEY TEAM JINXED?

by John Gillooly, Sports Information Director

An injury jinx has somewhat marred the banner year that both the basket­ ball and hockey teams were sup­ posed to be enjoying this season. As Providence Journal sportswriter Art Turgeon wrote ina recent Journal story, "Like demons who have found themselves a happy home, injuries and illnesses have so plagued the Bryant basketball and hockey teams this season, the most lasting record they've been able to notch this far is in the use of trainer's tape." The problems started even before the season. Only a few days after the start of basketball practice in Octo­ ber, freshman Mike Travassos dislo­ cated his shoulder. Mike, the high Kim Kaplan school All-American from New Bed­ ford, was expected to fill the void left to the halfway point," moaned Tom by the graduation of Ned Bohan. Folliard.

Those two injur­ shots in the two games against New ies, coupled with several others, either kept starters out of the lineup, or limited their playing ability. This handicapped the Indians during the first two weeks of the season. They lost four of their first five games. During the final week before the holiday break, the Indians (with all their manpower) proved they can compete with the best teams in Divi­ sion Two. Boosted by the return of Grimn and Jolly, they registered suc­ cessive triumphs over Division Two powerhouses, Boston State and U. of New Haven. Reali and his troops have ample time to atone for those early season setbacks. During the last week of January and the month of February, they play 15 games, including six home contests. This begins with the Wesleyan game on January 26 at the Smithfield Arena. One of the few bright spots for Reali throughout the first month of the season was the play of his sopho­ more goaltender, Bob Fisette. Fis­ ette, the Division Three "Rookie of the Year" last season, kept the In­ dians in several of the early season games. Three of the first four losses were by one goal. Mark Jolly

14 MBA Graduate Flys High

Excerpted from the Rhode Island Pendu· lum, November 5, 1975. Story by Mark Thompson. Edited by larry Clancy

With a top speed of 241 miles per hour, and a flight ceiling of 24,000 feet, Frederick S. Tanner is building a BD-5 in his garage at 661 Shippee­ Town Road, East Greenwich, RI. For a guy who used to pilot a B-47 and has dreams of flying, Fred 's BD-5 appears as a dream come true. Fred Tanner started building his one-seat aircraft in his garage back in May of 1973. Pieces of aluminum, all numbered, lie strewn about the clean, heated garage. Fred figures it will take about 2,000 man-hours to build his airplane.

lIyou don 't get into the airplane," said Fred's wife, June. Hyou put it on."

When Fred Tanner's airplane rolls to the end of the runway, ready for takeoff, it will weigh 335 pounds, contained within a length of just over 13 feet, and have a wingspan of al­ most 14 and a half feet. From ground zero to the tip of the tail, the plane will measure a scant four-feet two­ inches high. The plane's Xenoah en­ gine will enable it to travel at speeds nearing 250 miles per hour. Construc­ tion materials include aluminum, plastic, and balsa. Fred entered the Air Force after graduating from Moses Brown. He grew up on Tillinghast Road in East Greenwich. He received a degree in economics from the University of Omaha, and just recently earned a Masters in Business Administration from Bryant College. Presently, he works as an electric buyer for B.I.F. in West Warwick. While all this was going on, he managed to marry June Reardon . They now have two children. Fred's aircraft comes from Bede Aircraft Incorporated of Newton, Kansas. He bought the entire air­ plane kit two years ago for $2600. The fact that only a dozen BO-5s are fly-
