Sports Review
LAST YEAR WAS
A BANNER ONE FOR HUC
Why? Well, let's look at the record
Varsity Basketball
Winner of the Eastern Pennsylva
nia Junior College Championship and
runner-up for the State !Champion
ship.
Varsity Swimming
Runner-up for the state champion
ship, capturing titles in the diving
and 220 yd. free-style relay events.
Varsity Tennis
There was 'no team championship,
but Capt. Jimmy Howells won the sin
gles , championship, and our doubles
team was defeated_in the semi-final
round.
Varsity Golf
Our team placed fourth in the
state championships, with Capt. Jack
Specht placing third 'for 'individual
honors.
This year there is every hope for
and .possibility of duplicating or bet
tering the feats of the past year. Of
course the strength of a team is large
ly determined by the relative
strength of the oppositiOn, and it ap
pears that almost all of the opposing
teams will be considerably stronger
this year. If our sports representa
tives display the cooperation and de
termination exemplified by our past
performers, then we may anticipate
what may be the most successful year
in sports ever to have been reached
by H.U.C.
One essential for the success of our
team is the loyal support of our fol
lowers as shown by their interest and
cooperation. If you cannot be a par
ticipant, be a good supporter of our
teams!
PLANING EXTENSIVE
ATHLETIC PROGRAM
During the academic year it is the
desire of the athletic department to
carry on an extensive intramural ath
letic program. Several of the activities
planned for intramural competition
during the fall semester are:
Badminton
,Basketball
Bowling
Swimming
Table Tennis
The activities to be, included in the
program will be determined by stu
dent interest in the program, facili
ties, schedules and personnel.
The female students are invited to
participate in the program in either
all female or mixed competition.
Every one is eligible, including those
who participated in varsity competi
Lion last year.
So that we may start the program
as soon as possible, make known your
interests to Mr. Rudman, athletic di
rector, immediately.
Life is mostly froth and bubble; .
Two things stand like stone:—
Kindness is another's trouble,
Courage is your own.

HAZLETON COLLEGIAN
THE PLAY
OF THE YEAR
By Jack Riley
Capt. HUC Basketball Team
An outstanding and intricate bas
ketball play is difficult to explain, es
pecially on paper; but in my book, the
laurels for the basketball play of the
year go to Al Durback and Johnny
)Appichella, two great team workers
on the IHUC Eastern Conference
championship squad.
The play I have in mind occurred
in a game played at Williamsport be
tween HUC and Dickinson J. C., and
though the Dickinson team beat us al
most as decisively as we beat them on
our home court, the Appichella-Dur
back play was the best of the game
and of the season, as far as I am con
cerned.
Durback, taking the ball out under
Dickinson's hoop, wound up and
heaved a `,`football pass" the length
of the Williamsport High School
court (which is one of the largest in
the state) to the fast moving Appi
chella. Appy's timing was perfect!
Just a foot ahead of his guard he
grabbed the ball, pivoted and dropped
the ball through the hoop for two
more points.
The play was executed so swiftly
that there was . a stunned, silence for
a moment before the spectators roared
their approval.
I think it will be a long time before
I see a basketball play to rival the one
executed by Johnny Appichella and Al
Durback.

Center Plans
Faculty Club
The third day of the Hazleton
Underfraduate Center faculty week
program was highlighted by an or
ganization meeting of the Center's
faculty club.
John Carr, instructor in chemistry,
presided at this meeting and ex
planed to the new teachers the pur
pose of the faculty club and outlined
some of the projects he hoped staff
members would take an interest in
during the 1947-48 school year. It
was proposed that officers be elected
for the fall term, but this idea was
rejected when it was decided that
club officers should be elected at
the next meeting, to be held Friday.
Eearlier in the day, Ralph Krecker,.
assistant professor of economics,
outlined the duties of student coun
sellors and answered faculty mem
bers' questions concerning this sub
ject.
The assistant administrative head
of the Center, Richard J. Mattern,
acted as general chairman of all the
meetings held during the day.
The faculty week program will end
Sunday at 8 p. m. at which time re
gistration procedure will be discussed
and faculty assignment made for
freshman week.
Smoking is not permitted in the
library. At evening meetings held in
this room the rule is relaxed, but dur
ing the day, smoking is prohibited in
the library. PLEASE NOTE AND
REMEMBER.
