WALTER KOENIG ON THE STARLOST (1973) – Fair solar winds and following seas to the late Walter Koenig. Since everybody else has been covering his Star Trek role Pavel Chekov or his movie Moon Trap, Balladeer’s Blog will instead review his two episodes as the alien named Oro on the Canadian sci-fi series The Starlost in 1973. 
EPISODE TEN: THE ALIEN ORO (November 3rd, 1973) – Brace yourself for a villainous Walter Koenig speaking without a Russian accent. 
KNOCKING OFF NUMBER FOUR – In the NCAA Division 2, the number 20 EAST STROUDSBURG UNIVERSITY WARRIORS played host to the 4th ranked team in the country – the KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY GOLDEN BEARS. A 16-10 midpoint edge for the Warriors became a 25-25 tie to end Regulation. In Overtime, East Stroudsburg prevailed 32-25.
DOWN GOES NUMBER NINE – Over in the NAIA, the UNIVERSITY OF THE CUMBERLANDS PATRIOTS visited the 9th ranked GEORGETOWN (KY) COLLEGE TIGERS. The Patriots put Georgetown on Upset Alert with their 19-10 Halftime lead. The Tigers cut that to a 19-17 difference to end the 3rd Quarter, but UC held on from there to win 26-25.

TALES OF THE ZOMBIE Vol 1 #1 (July 1973)
