Freshman Profile

Admissions PR Releases StatsBy Jeff Adair

Labor Day saw the arrivalof 532 students 250 men and282 women comprising theWooster Class of 1976.

A total oi 1223 applicationswere received by the Admis-sions Office for spaces inthe freshman class. This isthe second most applicationsreceived by Admissions, lastyear's freshman class havingthe largest number ofcations. Of these, 1040qualified students-wer- e ac-cepted.

Byron E. Morris, director ofAdmissions, said that theselection of the class wasdifficult because most of the1223 were capable of. doingthe work at Wooster.

Trends in the past few yearshave shown a decreasing en-rollment at several colleges.This is not the case withWooster, where enrollment hasbeen gradually increasing.

Morris said enrollment hasn'tdropped because of the "magicof Wooster." Wooster'smagic, he elaborated, iscreated through the friendli-ness and enthusiasm of stu-dents and faculty. Thisleaves visitors with favorableimpressions of the school,he said. Other reasons, Morrisstated, are a high regard forthe institution and the over-all good appearance of thecampus.

Last May, five Ohio schoolsclosed admissions becausetheir classes were full. Woos-ter was one of the five.

Morris anticipated a class of

(SGA) president, enumeratedfour reasons supporting ex-

tension:First, the Administration,

he said, should not force stu-dents to comply with a codethey do not support.

Second, hours limit socialexperience, which is neces-sary, Browder argues, in aliberal education.

Third, the rules are not re-- '

spected, often being violated.Fourth he concluded, stu-

dents of college-ag- e are ma-ture enough to be trusted.

Clarifying his negative vote,Bob Newman explained thathe sought complete openhours and disliked any com-

promise.

Along this line, Browderemphasized that he is workingfor the elimination of allvisitation restrictions. The2 a.m. limit, he feels, is justtemporary.

A poll of the eight Councilmembers present revealed thatfive favored an absolute elim-ination, while three felt somemeasure of hours regulation

about 530 students after someapplicants decided to attendother colleges. He did antic-ipate a significantly largernumber of women enrolled inthe freshman class than men.

Students came from severaldifferent educational back-grounds. Public schools con-tributed 209 men and 245women, private schools sent24 men and 29 women, andparochial schools gave 11men and four women.

President"On Becoming Non-Strange- rs"

was the title of Presi-dent Drushal's Convocationaddress as the College ofWooster formally convenedits 106th year last Thursdayin McGaw Chapel. Citingthe title of Vance Packard'sbook, A Nation of Strangers,as descriptive of our contem-porary society, Drushal out-lined the extent to whichsocial fragmentation and per-sonal estrangement has per-meated a highly "technolog-ical, modern" America.

"A kind of apartness seemsto be increasing in our lives,"said Drushal. We have"created private spheres ofliving. . . and redefined theindividual as separate from,rather than part of, society."Using transportation and en-

tertainment as examples ofthe impersonality brought onby American technology,Drushal said that it has be-

come "easier not to know"than to know one another.

Concerning patterns oftertainment, he noted thatthe personableness of watch-ing actors on stage has givenway to the isolation of sittingin front of a television ormovie screen.

Interaction And UnityNew Pastor's Goal

Westminster Church's pastor-ele- ct

J. Barrie Shepherd comesto Wooster in the hope ofbringing together the many re-

ligious factions represented inhis new parish.

He feels that "there needs tobe interaction among the dif-

ferent religious factions-th- e

evangelical outlook, the radi-

cal activists, and those in themiddle."

In his new college-communi- ty

ministry, Shepherd hopes tobring about such interaction.

Shepherd officially assumeshis position at WestminsterJanuary 1, 1973, when he willleave behind five and a halfyears as College Chaplain andAssistant Professor of Relig-ion at Connecticut College,New London, Conn. He is en-

thusiastic about shifting froma chaplaincy to-- a parish minis-try, which he considers "morevalid."

Although his new role willbe more independent of thecollege establishment, Shep-herd will have ample oppor-tunity to use his extensive ex-

perience in the campus minis- -

"We shall have to developa kind of freedom from stereo-types," said Drushal. "Wemust make ... personal en-

counters . . . contribute tothe enrichment of our own andothers' lives" rather than"find satisfaction in narrow-ing our experiences" or being"afraid to venture into new.academic territory," so that"academic experience andexcellence can include mov-

ing closer to each other, ...and to the goal of becomingnon-stranger-s."

Concluding on a note ofoptimism for the coming yearand beyond, Dr. Drushal ex-

pressed his hopes that we willbe able to "think of eachother not as strangers to befeared, but as persons to beknown and, perhaps, ... tobe loved."

versity of Connecticut, Storrs,from 1965 to 1967. He has al-

so published articles in Pres-byterian Life, Youth, Concern,The Pulpit, and other period-icals, and more than twenty-fiv- e

poems.Shepherd was born in York-

shire, England, in 1935. Hespent his youth in Yorkshirebut attended Bathgate Academyin Scotland, leaving at age 15to work' in his family business.

He completed his secondaryeducation through eveningclasses and correspondencecourses and went on to receivea degree in History and Phi-losophy from the Universityof Edinburgh. He receivedhis B.D. from Yale Univer-sity Divinity School in 1964and an M.A. in Biblical Stu-

dies from Yale UniversityGraduate School in 1965.

College, Community V- - --H " ---'.??. v : ; -

Must Work Together ft -- - iTi.J "-

" T'--- ;

By Dave Berkey

Wooster is more than a small, conservative town in ruralMidwestern America.

It is really a microcosm of American life as a whole,blending a variety of backgrounds, economic and socialclasses, people's needs and interests and religious convic-tion into a community of both stability and growth.

Working and living in the Wooster community for the sum-mer, this writer came to know the town more than in four yearsof being a student at the College of Wooster.

Perhaps many C.O.W. students and professors are in thesame boat.

IT'S TIME THAT PEOPLE in the College of Wooster com-

munity become more aware of the town and area in which itexists. There are many exciting things happening here and atthe same time some traumatic struggles, both of which deservethe involvement of the institution on the hill.

The Hill is an unfortunate symbol. Sometimes those atthe College tend to view themselves above the life of the sur-rounding community-e- nd the community has been thinking that,too.

The fact is that the College of Wooster cannot really existapart from the town of Wooster. One is an integral part of theother, irregardless of the difference in "altitude." Hopefullythrough this column and by other means, the Voice can helpthe college community become inv dved in the life of the largecommunity of Wooster.

What type of involvement does that mean?There are countless political, social, religious and aca-

demic functions of the community in which the college can be-come involved. Through this source and others, these activ-ities can become more clear to college students and profes-sors.

POLITICALLY, MUCH IS going on in Wooster with theelection coming to a head. The Wayne County Democratic andRepublican headquarters are located across the street fromone another on E. Liberty Street near the square and both or-

ganizations are looking for volunteers. A recent College ofWooster graduate, Dave Broehl is running for County Commis-

sioner in a hotlv contested race.Religious life in Wayne County is a predominant activity

with over 80 churches and synagogues and numerous religiousorganizations. The Wooster Ministerial Fellowship meets forbreakfast every Wednesday morning at West View Manor resthome. Some of the Fellowship's activities include a "Pastorof the Day" program at the high school and regular servicesat the area rest homes.

A big project for the coming year is participation in the na-

tional evangelistic thrust, Key '73: Calling Our Continent toChrist, for which student participation is needed. The YMCAand other organizations have tutoring programs for high schooland grade school children which need student help. .

A number of college students are already involved in theWooster Community Youth Center, sponsored by a number ofarea churches and service organizations. Held in the basementof Trinity United Church of Christ, the center has an arts andcrafts room, recreation, music, tutoring and other services tothe high school aged youth of the community. It is open threenights a week and needs volunteer help.

A FULL-TIM- E COMMUNITY ministry program will be inoperation beginning next May involving night ministry, indus-trial counseling, tutoring, youth work projects and the like.This summer, an experimental community ministry program wasin operation-on- e project was the painting of the fence sur-rounding the new Ramada Inn building site.

The Wayne County F ood Co-o- p needs volunteer clerks andthe County Welfare Agency is an integral part of the commun-ity. Along with the numerous millionaires and upper middleclass people in Wooster, the town has its poor people, too.

For Wooster is a town of diversity. It has its farmers,its blue collar workers, its black community, its Amish, itsSouthern whites, its academia, its scientists at the Ohio Agr-icultural Research and Development Center, its small mer-

chants, its industrial tycoons at Rubbermaid, Gerstenslager,International Paper and Akron Brass, its motorcycle gang, itsdrug pushers, its drunks, its aged, and all the people in themiddle.

IT'S A WONDER WHY the Urban Studies program at theCollege of Wooster doesn't consider this urban microcosm inits program it's right here and it's real!

Unfortunately, time always has to enter into a discussionof involvement by the college student and professor. Academ-

ics come first. It's too bad that the quarter isn't longer or thematerial isn't less concentrated and the life of a college stu-

dent could be one of total involvement in all facets of the com-

munity around him.Nevertheless, Wooster is here for those who can antf want

to get involved. Let this column be a resource, and a catalystfor better communication and participation between the tradi-tional factions of "Town and Gown".

A common denominator students in all levels of Academiashare, is that: I--can't- think-of-anything-m- ore appropriatelet's-get-acquain- ted topic that teachers, all thru our educa-tions, have assigned: the summer vacation.

The subtitle can be explained in that what I originallyplanned, a traveling diatribe on a miriad of persons, placesand things, has been cleared away, in order that the crux ofthe situation: where I was, and what I discovered, may becommunicated.

I have just concluded nearly three months among Inn aBombeck, big bags, Greenfield crab grass killer, RosemaryPrynz, shopping malls, surface pools, pinched petunias, anddusted tomatoes, Johnson's baby oil; with Joe and Paul Simon,,

Indian Cowboys, Carole King into David Cassidy, Waring,Westinghouse, and Elmer's glue; all panhandled under thecrisp banner of a consumer ethic, bent on consuming. I workedon a writer's journal and in it I wrote;

Suburbia is:1. ... a social free fall, and only the notion one is com-

ing down.2. the cause-effec- ts of affluence, coated with boredom.

My list ends there. The first observation was made inJune, when I considered the strong possibility I would be vic-

tim of the Nixon economy and join the growing percentages ofunemployed. The second entry followed a vacation within thevacation, as I attempted to focus on returning to school - acrossthe all too slowly eroding gap of "nothing to do in the mean-

time."Both phrases, however are applicable.I did eventually get a job so the "free-fal- l" was slowed.

My attention focused on the mainstay of my employment, andto much of an extent, of Adrian, itself.

SGA Pushes StudentVoter Registration

Establishment of the VoterFacilitation Center (VFC)received a unanimous vote ofconfidence from CampusCouncil at this year's firstmeeting.

Operated and funded by theStudent Government Associa-tion (SGA), the VFC, runningfrom September 15 to Novem-ber 8, 1972 will encourageand assist the registration ofstudents.

Goals established by theSGA include: providing "lit-erature on election and voting

. laws"; operation of a toll-fr- ee

telephone service "forstudents to request absenteevoter registration forms";distribution of campaign liter-ature on the two major candi-dates.

Ultimately, the VFC should"determine how many Woosterstudents are or are not regis-tered voters and to work to-ward a 95 per cent voter regis-tration of eligible Woosterstudents."

Burger Ranch soon taught me that - in addition to there beingthree (and only three!) pickles on a Big Steer - there are a lotof disadvantages as well. For instance, a number of the aged,who's major livelihood consisted of frequenting the Ranch,chewing on plain burger and saltless french fries; they wouldsit quietly for hours, eyes fixed on the traffic or the customersor the children of their children and wondered if they too wouldrealize this dull destiny.

I talked with many people during the past summer but noneleft the stark, desperate impression that these lonely visitersdid.

"Why do you come here", I asked one lead haired woman."Where else is there to go ... "Her answer was not followed by a question mark, it was

rather a sad statement of fact. Adrian Michigan and those vastsprawls of "little boxes" like it, in their search to find the"good life" have forgotten how easy it is to get buried in theaffluent clutter of that very "life." What happens when onecan no longer do for oneself and those around himher are al-

ready finished.Somehow in having made our choice we escapistsurban

drop-out- s, have cordened off the choices of others. It is likea plague, this suburban glut. Smothering the lives of what theyused to call the "dream children". Or worse, as with my nowsour sixteen year old sister's friends and foes: leaving themwith material needs that destroy any chance for human commit-ment or understanding.

This rampant affluence has caused undermining of creativ-ity and streamlining of cultural patterns until this bleachedpeople is "efficienticized" into oblivion. And it made me wel-

come a change on the way, as a small number of enlightenedindividuals, unfortunately few of whom have much power, rec-

ognize the folly of this existence. The terror of boredom; theemence waste of time and lack of energy that affect the regionare to be dealt with, the question is when!

In writing this, one has made a primary step, that of expos-ing the problems at hand. More however must follow, as whiteconsciousness grows ever more necessary, the life style of themany Sugar Towns must figure into the opening up.

I am going back to Adrian, next summer, tho I doubt I'll becalling it a "vacation", the following fall. There is all toomuch work to be done. For my neighbors are killing more thantheir crabgrass.

Yeah, Waring, Westinghouse . . . Elmer's glue, and whatsuburbia needs is the compassionate, lasting, flexible strengthof the latter: to put together the stoves and toasters and mostimportantly, the lives, that have worn out.

Perhaps the special, "learned" atmosphere of college canlend its aid, as I and others seek to make liveable those earlyAmerican houses, along sweet streets, U.S.A. To bring somemeaning and substance to the candy apple life-sty- le of we

people who are rotting in Sugar Town.

P.S. Once upon a time there was a person named Margie, who

did terrific things with ink, and it is hoped she will illustratethis column ever after.

Appointment of the VFCdirector will be made by theSGA Cabinet. Expenses willbe paid by a $200 SGA allo-cation, with the VFC directorreceivine an additional $50.

A "special General Assem-bly ad-h-oc sub-committ- ee

whose members shall beelected General Assemblyrepresentatives" will oper-ate the VFC This VoterFacilitation Center sub-committee will hold regularmeetings to "insure thepolitical objectivity" of theCenter.

The VFC director is empow-ered to seek the participationof the Young Democrats andYoung Republicans. Otherlocal organizations, such asthe League of Women Voters,may also be invited to partic-ipate.

John Browder, SGA presi-dent, presented this Cabinetbill to Council for their voteof confidence. He told Coun-cil that the Wayne CountyBoard of Elections would notprovide "an accredited deputyregistrar for on-cam- pus regis-tration." Instead, Browderhopes to provide transporta-tion downtown to the Boardof Elections for students .wishing to register.

At the outset of the meeting.Council Chairman Turner in-

troduced two new membersAcy Jackson, Associate Dean,and Jim Bean, Assistant Pro-fessor of French. Turner thenreported responses to lastyear's legislation.

The Board of Trustees'Executive Committee refusedto comply with Council's re-quest to suspend military re-

cruiting in Lowry Center.The Board's Finance Commi-ttee will make lists of theCollege's investments avail-able upon request. Hereto-fore this information was in-

accessible to non-Truste- es.

An appropriation of $150 toLowry Center Board (LCB)was approved. The funds willhelp finance the White Rootsof Peace program. Scheduledfor Thursday, September 21,the program includes a craftsexhibit, films, visits toclasses, an American Indiandinner and dance. A groupof Mohawk Indians will orga-nize the activities.

Kicking Star Macoritti Outshines Past Fee isBy Ernie Infield

WOOSTER, OHIO-Th-ere isan inverse ratio that appliesto sports. Perhaps to a great-er degree than in other fieldsof endeavor. It goes some- -'

thing like this: Bygone featsincrease by the , square of thepassing years.

Perhaps that isn't mathe-matically sound, but you getthe idea. It is, therefore,somewhat refreshing to reportthat there is a football playeron The College of Woostercampus who is unique. Noone in the previous 73 yearsof varsity competition, eventhe hallowed greats of theHoles' era, ranks with thisindividual in the kicking de-

partment.His name is Bob Macoritti.His accomplishments have

not gone unheeded by theopposition. In fact, he washonored by selection to theOhio Conference first teamlast fall. Incidentally, hewas the first specialist everto be picked.

Now a senior, Macorittiarrived at Wooster the longway around. He was born innorthern Italy 21 years ago inthe small village of Pozzo,which is situated about 50miles east of Venice. With

, little hope for more than abare subsistence future, par-ents Raymond and Noemi emi-grated to Toronto, Canada.Bob was then two years old.

After a couple of job changesthe Macorittis settled downin Hamilton, Ontario, whereRaymond, Sr., works in anautomotive plant. Two addi-tions, Loretta, now 15, andRaymond, Jr., 6, joined thefamily along the way. Com-fortably situated in a tidyresidential area, the Macori-ttis have never regretted theirmove.

The Hamilton school system,in common with some otherCanadian schools, consistsof 13 grades. Bob spent thefour years of high school atWestdale, and his 13th yearat Hamilton Collegiate Insti-tute, a one year school forstudents who plan to attendcollege.

At Westdale he earned ac-

colades as a standout soccergoalie. The only sophomoreon a city championship team,Bob registered nine shutoutsin 12 games and gave up only

Banda's Diary

Scot Soccer Coming AlongThis preview of the 1972

Fighting Scots is written byAlbert Ban da, leading scoreron the 1971 teem.

The Scots soccer team be-

gan its preseason trainingwith all the memories fromlast season exposed and raw.

Fielding probably the bestgroup of players ever andagainst the toughest compe-tition ever, the Nyemen onlymanaged to come up with a5--7 record in the 1971 season.Hence from last season'srecord one can conclude thatit takes more than just ap-

pearances to come up with a.winner -

However, from what hasbeen witnessed in trainingthus far, the Scots prospectsseem to be just as bright asthey were last season, but

3 goals. He continued toplay soccer, a spring sportin Canada, during the 11th and12th grades, but jobs as amovie usher and a departmentstore clerk prevented his goingout for football.

Frank Cooke, then footballcoach at HCI, was faced withthe difficult task of buildinga completely new footballteam year after year. A his-tory teacher, who coached asa hobby with no compensation,his scouting was limited tochecking on 12th graders whoparticipated-i- n spring sports.

"I was simply looking forathletes," relates Cooke."Macoritti caught my eye, andafter I saw him kick during ourpractice sessions that fall,I knew that he was somethingspecial."

Cooke returned to Hamiltonin early August this year aftercompleting his master's de-

gree in history at Wooster.He is taking an administrativeposition at another school, buthis years at HCI were out-- --

standing."Our scholastic rules are

the same as the pros use, andthis puts a premium on kick-ing. Kicks into that deep end-zo- ne

earn a point, or single,if the opposition can't runthem out," he continued.

"Despite the fact that Machadn't played much ball, weused him as our backupquarterback. In one game hecompleted 13 of 18 attempts,which still stands as theschool record. As far as kick-ing was concerned, we could-n't help much. He and hisfather had already developedan excellent technique."

A left-foot- ed soccer stylebooter, Bob clicked on a num- - --

ber of singles, field goals(including a 42-yard- er) andracked up a 42.6 yard puntingaverage.

The next spring Cooke load-ed several of his standoutsinto the family car and madethe rounds of some of theMichigan and Ohio colleges.A cancellation at Ohio Wes-

ley an prompted a spur-of-the-mom-ent

call to Jack Lengyel,then head coach of the Scots.

Jack was on Cornell's staffwhen Pete Gogolak, first of --

the soccer style kickers, be-

came an overnight sensationfor the Big Red. Jack, morethan most coaches, was en-

thused about the possibility

this time for different reasons.For one thing Coach Nye hasa lot of team rebuilding to doand this he must do in termsof what the players haveshown in practice. There areonly four regular startersfrom last year's squad (CraigLevinsky, Tom Kazembe,Howard Cohen, and GregKriebel). Hence, most of thepositions are up for grabs.

For instance, some of theplayers likely to crack theline up on offense includesuch names as Levinsky,co-capta- ins NasonLui,and BillClyde, Joe Mar, Sam Pattersonand Nelson Litweiller. Where-as - Kazembe, Jess Waitman,John Hallowell, Kriebel,Larry Cerniglia, John Sievers,seem to be coming along justfine on defense.There has also been a good

of obtaining a fine booter."I had mixed feelings about

Mac coming to Wooster," re-

calls Cooke, "I appreciatedLengyel's interest in him, butin all truth, I felt that perhapshe should go to a bigger schoolwhere he would receive great-er exposure. After all, sev-eral Canadian pro teams wereinterested in him just fromhis play with us." .

As far as Macoritti is con-cerned, there is no questionthat he made the right choice.

"As soon as I came on cam-pus, I knew that Wooster wasthe place for me. I've enjoyedmy associations here and I'mgetting a first-cla- ss educartion," is the way the 6--1 ,190-poiind- er puts it.

Some of Macoritti's featshave been spectacular. As afreshman he missed a 57-ya- rd

field goal attempt by lessthan a foot. It would haveerased the 56-ya- rd Ohio Con-ference record which hasstood since 1924. In anothergame he booted two 48-yar- d- ;

ers.During his first two seasons,

Dave Poetter handled the ex-

tra points and short field goalattempts. Poetter, now backas coach, graduated in 1971and last season Bob did it all.He converted 17 of 18 extra

turn out of freshmen for thesquad this season. Like therest of the squad they haveshown very encouraging pro-gress during the past 2 weeks.

The coach has reportedlycome up with such commentsas "they are coming along"etc when asked about his ag-

gressive squad.For an opener the Scots

face the U. of Akron Booters(not an easy prey) on Wednes-day the 20th at Akron. Itshould be a tough and excit-ing game. However, it willtake more than a team effortto beat Akron, so come on outand cheer the Scots to vic-tory.

Finally, while keeping thepast record between the 2squads in mind - let's callthis season's record 0-- 0 tillWednesday.

points, the miss coming on abad snap.

Despite the fact that he wasselected to the OAC all starteam last season, Macorittidid not feel that he had a goodyear. He made only five of 13gield goal attempts and hisaverage for 44 punts was 39.2yards.

In all fairness, however,several of the field goal at-

tempts were outer space shotsof the "hope" variety and hispunts were for altitude, ratherthan distance, to limit run-- '

backs.The fact of the matter was

that he played the entire sea-son with an injured left knee.Three weeks before the 1971season started he pulled liga--

'Mac the Knlto" got ready to boot whilo "Mac

ments above the knee in atouch football game. The in-

jury did not heal until Christ-mas vacation, and Bob wasnever able to impart the snapinto his kicks that spelledextra distance and accuracy.

Since then he has movedwith caution. He did not goout for lacrosse this spring,despite winning letters hisfirst two years. This summerhe has worked out every even-ing with his father, followinghis daily chores as a laboreron a motor freight dock.

He tried about 30 field goalsand 20 punts each evening,topped off by a two mile run.With little or no wind, Bob hasbeen booting 50-ya- rd fieldgoals with rejularitj. Hispunting looks better than ever.

The senior Macoritti is astern coach. He watches hisson closely for signs of devi-ation from the pattern that hasspelled success. A devotedfan, Ray has frequently madethe long round trip from Ham-

ilton to Wooster for a gameand home again the same day.It is extremely doubtful if anyScot fan has ever matchedhis mileage record.

A kicking specialist issomething like an ace reliefpitcher. He leads a lonelylife for in most cases he istoo valuable to use in a regu-lar position or even work outas an understudy. Since akicker can actually go staleby practicing too much, work-outs tend to become a boringchore. Lengyel recognizedthis and had Bob running passpattern as an end for a time.

Finally, however, he decidedeven that was too risky andkept him on the sidelines.Current head coach PatO'Brien has followed suit.

"I view Mac as a two-edg- ed

weapon, a sort of Mac theKnife," chuckled Pat. "Hedemoralizes people just bytrotting out on the field. Hecan score from midfield andhis long punts constantly keepus out of danger. My only pro-blem is where and how to finda reasonable facsimile."

Macoritti is quick to pointout that he is only a part ofthe kicking game. A good cen-ter is a must. Steve Clifton,who graduated last spring, andDale Hostenske, the Scots'fine defensive tackle, have

Sr." holds.provided good snaps.

The holder is also important.On some teams., the Scots in-cluded, the quarterback func-tions as the holder. However,he is vulnerable to injury andfrequently other players per-form that duty. For years de-

fensive back Tommy Jamesheld for Lou Groza, the mostfamous of all kickers.

Macoritti does not take hislaurels too seriously. "Afterall," he smiles, "I can, andhave, gone from hero to bum ina few minutes. You can'tdwell very long on a mistake.Another opportunity comesalong and you have to blankeverything out to concentrateon the kick coming up."

With respect to his personallife, Mac has no pet super- - .

stitions. He does admit to afondness for a certain ham-burger cone action that bearsa name similar to his own. Healso lives up to Italian heri-tage by frequently polishingoff a pizza.

He would like to obtain ashot at pro ball and for hislong range goal, a career incriminal law.

In the latter respect he al-ready has a good start. MLVernon sportscaster BobGrimm, who covers the Ken-yo- n

games, had this comment:"The way that Macoritti kidkicks against us is nothingshort of a crime!"

Make a note to come out andsee the Italian Canadian, withthe Irish nickname, play forthe Scots.

He's worth watching.
