And, since Cheyney has an agreement with Community College of Philadelphia about accepting CCP students, there could be a smooth transition.

What's more, Philadelphia has won six titles since they began big-league professional competition.

Philadelphia and New York won yesterday in the opening round-robin singles softball squash racquets matches in the annual men's series for the Lockett Cup at the Berwyn Squash and Fitness Club.
