GLANCE
The play-offs of the men’s sin
gles ping-pong tourney are well
underway with the celluloid
sphere flying fast and furious. Of
the thirty-seven men who partici
pated in the “ladder” tourney the
gix who were on the top at the
finish were picked to play in the
best out of three games elimina
tion. These six were: Gib Brownlie
Tom Pearce, Ray Sturglewsky, Ken
McDannell, John Falcone, and Bob
Gallagher.
In the first games Brownlie’s
whip-like back-hand was too much
for 'Gallagher as Brownlie won: 11-
21, 21-14, and 21-15. Sturge and
McDannell had three hard fought
games, but Sturge’s back spin
seemed to be the margin of vict
ory. The scores were 21-19, 17-21,
and 21-19.
Pearce had not too much trou
ble downing Falcone 21-17, and
21-15. With Brownlie drawing the
bye in the semi-finals, Sturge and
Pearce played one of the best
three games series in the tourna
ment. Pearce finall y solved
Sturge’s cuts to win out 21-19, 19-
21, 21-17. This leaves Pearce and
Brownlie to fight it out. Get your
“Bookie,” Sturge.
In the women’s section Lee
Delle Donne, Lois Braden, Shirley
Linder, Nan Bierman, Dorothy
Holmstrum, and Judy Norton were
the top 6. Lee defeated Dorothy
while Lois took over Judy. Nan and
Shirley played three close games,
but Nan finally won.
Lee drew the bye which leaves
Lois and Nan to play in the hot
semi-finals.
Let’s go gang-everybody out to
beat Demp and Thurbon in the
doubles!

at home as we are.
Living in the women’s dorm
itory are four new girls. Jeanne
Kimbel hails from Philadelphia,
and wants to become a teacher.
Her hobby is one we will all en

Two more games in the Behrend
Center intramural basketball lea
gue, which has been running for
several months now, were played
in the Lawrence Park High School
Gym last Wednesday night.
The first game pitted Liebau's
team against Gallagher’s in a hard
fought battle. The first two per
iods were a see-saw contest, but
Liebau forged ahead in the third
period and was out in front 23-14
at the begining of the fourth
quarter.
A late fourth period rally by
Gallagher put them out in front
26-25, but a basket by Falcone in
the last few seconds of the game
put Liebau ahead to win 27-26.
Liebau and Gallagher were high
for their respective teams with 16
points each.
The second game was a rough
and tumble struggle that matched
McDannell’s team against Pearce.
McDannell’s team took the lead
with the first basket and stayed
ahead until the final whistle to win
22-12. Babich had 4 points and
Kott had 3 for the losers. High
men for McDannell were Bernard
and McDannell with 7 points each
and Collman with 5.

THE NITTANY CUB
Bowling
By Brownlie
Crush! Down went the pins as
the first spring semester meeting
of ye olae Behrend Bowling league
got under way. The influx of new
students plus old students, all in
terested in bowling, has caused the
league to expand to an even twelve
teams. The old teams have been
somewhat revamped with the new
talent while the two teams “The
Buzzards” and'“The Robins” are
manned chiefly by new arrivals.
Messers. Faullener and Korn of
the preceding teams are not to be
overlooked when high scores are
mentioned. Mr. Faullener was out
standing with a 193 while Mr.
Korn got a very respectable 176.
" The ‘ 6th' men ’are’ now known
fondly as The “Lunk Heads”. Dick
Collman became the chief Lunk
by putting the best single' score
together with two good games for
high 3 games for the group. The
minor bunks were getting used to
the. alleys and did very well for
their first tames. One John P.
Spierling has a new .system for
making spares. His approach is
normal until he lets the ball go, he
then promptly drops to a sitting
position on the alleys where he re
mains until the pins are in. I
heard J. P. S. is eating from the
’mantle these days.
The re-vitalized Flamingos took
the luckless 'Ducks for three games.
Ed Kittka smashed out a beauti
ful 222 game. Ed is to be congrat
ulated on becoming a member of
the 200 dub on his first outing.
His 222 contributed to a 520 series.

State Street at 9th
for the first time also, turned in
a 160 for a 443 three game series.
Very nice Ken! The gun for the
Ducks was also a now bowler, Don
Fields. These new people are won
ders.
The meeting between the Peli
cans and Penguins produced some
thing that is seldom seen in bowl
ing. Their first game ended in a
tie at 605 pins apiece. This is
slightly phenomenal when you
consider the odds against a tie in
bowling. Teammates Richey and
Betz came up with a 180 and a
176 respectively to lead the Peli
cans. Lee Delle Donne and Ann
Titmus were consistency per
sonified for .the Penguins. Lee is
an old hand while Ann is one of
the new arrivals.
Adele Gabin had a big 168 single
game for a 428 set for the Cardin
als. The Red Birds had a hot after
noon winning ail three over the
Owls. -Gene Sundburg and Tom
Pearce supplied. the number 2
punch of the famous old 1-2. Bet
ty 'Lou Volk of the poor Owls had
a fair day and is improving. The
Eagle who screamed the loudest
was Harry. Scheimer, Harry turn
ed in a big 214, 486 series. I must
find out Harry’s system. John Fal
cone of the Eagles, and Mr. Gott
limd, of the Hawks, had good days
with a 429 and a 448 total respec
tively. A 1 Leibau, of the Eagles,
and “Uncle Dave” of the Hawks,
won the other two 500 games of
the afternoon. “Unde Dave” had
a 509 while A 2 was close with a
508. Beth Dunlap and “Itsy Bitsy
Ida” have the dubious distinction
of being .presented with the
“Grand Order of the Gutter” for
the week. Howie Starks and Don
Beal- were the blackest of the
Ravens. Howie had a 160, 407
series, Don had a 165, for: a 426
series. Noticed - Don’s wife giving
him added encouragement, how
could he lose! Ray Reed and
“Sturge,” Loons of no mean re
known, provided the power to help
their team down the Ravens, two
out of .three.
The league has lots of zip and
provides fun for all. The teams
foster a feeling of esprit de corps.
Old members are instilling the
feeling in the new talent. All in
all its just about the best way to
spetad.' a Thursday afternoon I
can think of.
