"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.

today by Syd Rudman, athletic direc
tor.
All men interested in trying out
for the squads have been asked to re

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.

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.

Nittany Lion eleven.
With the second game of the sea

Charles "Chuch" Drazenovich are

Joe, who tips the beams at an even

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.
