Women's Tennis Team
Ends Successful Year
I
The women's intercollegiate
tennis team had a very successful
Fall season. After sponsoring the
Women's Eastern Collegiate
Tennis Tournament on October
4-6 at which 33 colleges in the
East all congregated at Albany,
they went on to play a five match
schedule.
They first traveled to Oneonta,
winning 3-2. Winners were Dolly
Magaril, playing manager, and the
number one doubles team of
Georgann Jose and Carol Perkins.
Then two freshmen, Kathy Ferger
and Robin Sacks, went on to win
their first match, 4-6, 6-0, 6-2.
On October 15, the team
traveled to Green Mountain in
Poultney Vermont and swept
every match, winning 4-0. Shetia
Jacobs, no. 1 singles, and Belinda
Stanton won hard fought 3-set
matches.
The scheduled match against
Potsdam was rained out, but the
weather was perfect in a 4-1 loss
to Vassar. Belinda Stanton was
the sole winner for Albany as she
recorded a 6-4, 6-2 win over her
opponent.
The last match scheduled at
home against New Paltz was again
rained out and since the weather
was becoming too cold to
compete in, the rest of the season
was cancelled.

The league leaders overcame a
determined pass rush and tight
secondary
to throw two
touchdown passes, one to Denny
Elkin and one to Jack Sinnott.
The Nads, who have yet to win
this year, looked as if they might
pull the upset of the year in the
first half as they refused to give
up any substantial gains to APA'S
strong passing attack.
In the second quarter, however,
Gary Torino found Denny Elkin
open and hurled a pass which
resulted in a six point lead for
APA. The point-after attempt
failed, and the APA men took a
6-0 lead into the second half.
Led by quarterback Tom
Mullins, the Nads drove down the
field only to have their drive
halted when a long pass was
dropped in the end zone.

opening season loss to Potter Club
when they gave up 13 points.
In other games Saturday, Potter
Club goes against the Nads, KB
meets Waterbury and UFS tries
for their first win of the year
against Tappan.
APA, helped by two successive
pass interference calls, brought
the ball to the Nads five yard line
where they scoredon a pass from
Gary Torino to Jack Sinnott.
In the game played Tuesday,
STB, who are tied for second with
Tappan Hall, registered two
safeties and a touchdown in their
victory over UFS.
The STB defense scored the
first safety when a snap from
center went over the quarterbacks
head and into the end zone. The
second safety came when the UFS
quarterback was caught in the end
zone by a strong pass rush.
STB's lone touchdown came on
a pass from quarterback Bruce
Sand to tight end Mike Pavy.
This Saturday, APA and STB
meet in a must game for both
teams. If STB is to remain in
contention for the title, they must
register a win over the APA men.
Although a loss will not
eliminated A'BA it will make their
first place position much less
secure. If the game results in a tie,
STB will be eliminated from the
race whereas APA will then only
be a game ahead of Tappan whom
they play a week from tomorrow.
The game this Saturday will pit
the league's two strongest offenses
against the two strongest defenses.
APA has scored an amzing 107
points for an average of over
twenty points a game. Their
defense, on the other hand has
given up only one touchdown all
year.

"By December, if the situation
doesn't change, 25,000 people a
day will die of starvation in
Biafra." This statement was made
by Walter Ofonagoro, one of the
speakers at an informal meeting
Tuesday night of students
concerned about the shocking
situation in Biafra. The other
speaker was Mary Umolu.
Ofonagoro began by reviewing
the history of Biafra and the
political difficulties that led to the
present crisis there. He went into
how Nigeria is trying "to wipe
Biafrans from the face of the
•arth."
Umolu noted mat deliberate
starvation is not the only method
rjy which Nigeria is trying to wipe
out the Biafrans. They are also
killing boys over the age of eight
years, abusing the women, and
depriving children of protein,
which will make them mentally
deficient.
People asked why the Riafrans

they have good reason for their
fear of being poisoned.
The iwo speakers also urged
that political pressure be applied
to the United States government
in order to get a cease fire. Umolu
charged the United States with
not wanting to change the face of
Nigeria, yet the United States has
greatly changed its face.
She went on to say that
Senator Brooke had reported to
the U.S. government that
genocide did not exist in Biafra.
She was told that "He travelled
with three women, and the three
women were afraid to go to
Biafra." She said, therefore, that
the Senator could not say that
genocide didn't exist because he
had not even been there.
One of the most effective
agencies to work through is the
Biafra Relief Service Foundation.
Another organization which sends
aid is the World Council of
Churches.

local supermarkets at Stuyvesant
Plaza on Friday met with legal
obstacles.
The Committee had originally
planned to picket Grand Union
and Central Markets at the Plaza
since the stores had refused to
cooperate with their request to
halt the purchase and sale of
California grapes. Plans were
revised when it was learned that
Stuyvesant Plaza is private
property and large-scale picketing
and distributing of printed
material would be illegal.
It was decided that two people
carrying posters would be
stationed in front of each store in
continuing shifts. The Btores were

Saturday during store hours. The
Committee plans to risume this
schedule next weekend.

Collier said that some limit

able to drop some without

The Commission will consider,
