"It's A Sad Day In Flatbush" As radio commentator Gabriel Heater would say, "It's a sad day in Flatbush". For many a day the fellows who hang around the corner candy stores and delicatessens in Brownsville and East New York will replay the 1947 World Series in which their beloved Burns went down in defeat at the hands of the boys across the river, the New tYork Yankees. Yesterday after' trailing in the third inning, 2-1, the Bronx Bombers bopped on Hal Gregg in the bottom half of the fourth to push two runs across the plate, sending the Brook hurler to the Showers. Hank Behrman came in the fourth, but he had to be assisted in the sixth by Joe Hatten and Rex Barney. Fireman Hugh Casey came in the seventh and fin ished the game. Shea started for the Yanks, gave way to Bevens in the second, and Joe Page who entered the game in the fifth. Probably the most dejected player was Bruce EdWards, the Brooklyn backstop, who hit into a double play in the ninth with one out. The attendance for the final game of the series was approximately 71,548. Net receipts were $319,778.09.

HAZL-ETON- COLLEGIAN ATHLETIC HEAD SATURDAY'S Basketball Practice To Start Monday Evening Varsity and junior varsity basket ball practice started Monday eve ning at 6:30 o'clock at the A. D. Thomas Memorial Gymnasium, Third and Grant streets, it was announced today by Syd Rudman, athletic direc tor. All men interested in trying out for the squads have been asked to re port for the opening session. Those students who did not play on high school basketball teams are urged to attend, since only half of last year's team played scholastic ball. Among the candidates which Coach Rudman expects to turn out for the first practice are several veterans of last year's club and a host of excellent new material. Pete Garber, ex-Wea therky High courtman, Joe Appichel la, brother of Johnny Appichella of last year's squad, who played with Hughie McGeehan's Hazleton High School quintet, Eddie Breznock, also of HHS fame, and "Statz" Laganoski, Foster 'Township High School court ace, are just a few of the expected aspirants for this year's cage squad. Practices will be held every Mon day, Wednesday and Friday night from 6:30 to 8:30 p. m. A h'eav,y schedule is being arranged for both varsity and junior varsity squads against various colleges and junior colleges in the state. Coach 'Rudman made it clear that 'all positions on the 'team are open. Varsity competition, he added, will not bar a player from competition in intra mural sports. 2 Brothers Vie For Nittany Grid Posts Two brothers, both veterans of World 'War. 11, may play on the 1947 Nittany Lion eleven. With the second game of the sea son to be played tomorrow against Bucknell, Joe Drazenovich and Charles "Chuch" Drazenovich are making their bids for starting as signments. Joe, who tips the beams at an even 200 pounds, is a year older than his brother. Chuck, who played at the center position in scholastic ball, is now a leading candidate for the blocking •back post. Joe came to the campus as an 18- year-old freshman three years back, was transferred from his regular guard spot to blocking back, but is now back in the line. The 20-year-old Chuck went through the same •process in reverse. The two gridsters came to Penn State from Brownsville (Pa.) a year apart. Joe arrived in 1944 and went into service at the end of the season. Chuck matriculated a year later and he, too, went to war at the end of the season. The• two have returned to the campus, and are in their second year of college football. Coach Bob Higgins expects both to star. Chuck, who weighs 215 pounds, went to the West Coast as a member of Andy Kerr's Eastern All-Stars for the East-West game, and saw some service as understudy to Penn State's center, Bronco Kasanovich.
