HUC CAGEMEN OPEN PRACTICE
DRILLS FOR COMING SEASON
By , CHARLES MAURER
On Monday the HUC basketball
team began its first practice for the
coming season. The turnout was
large and very •promising. Returning
from last year's Eastern Junior Col
legiate champions were J. Riley, R.
Saul, J. Riordan, N. Polum•bo and J.
Munroe. These men and other lead
ing contenders such as T. Strike, P.
Garber, 'T. Shuptar, B. Martin, S.
Laganosky, S. Talarovich, J. Hut
nyan and H. Narusewicz are all aspi
rants for starting berths. There are
many more promising basketeers
worthy of note but too numerous to
mention. The competition is keen.
The team has been practicing at
least two or three times a week at
the A. D. Thomas gym and are smoo
thing over the rough edges. The boys
have had heated scrimmages against
outstanding independent teams from
Weatherly, Freeland and Berwick.
The team will work out with the
Bloomsburg S.T.C. squad Tuesday.
Coach Syd Rudman has arranged
for the 'HUC schedule home and
away games with the following ju
nior colleges: Altoona, Dußois, Her
shey, Keystone, Pottsville, Swarth
more and York. Additional contests
will be arranged as the season pro
gresses. Participation in the state
championship tournament will be de
termined by the league standing at
the close of the season.
At present the jay-vee schedule
consists of six games already slated
with additional games tentative.

The HUC intra-mural basketball
league got off to a fine start Monday
afternoon when the Rockets and the
Atomic Bums clashed on the hard
wood of the local YMCA SYD
RUDMAN, athletic director, wishes
to thank all persons who made the
formation of this fine circuit possible
—The success of the loop depends on
all participants getting to the games
at the scheduled time—Back to foot
ball, it' looks as if the Penn State
eleven will come through this current
football season unbeaten and untied
—ln toppling West Virginia, The
Nittany Lions overcame one of their
biggest threats of the season—The
final score was close but did you take
notice to the statistics?—lncidental
ly, our BUD PALMER figured in
the defeat of Syracuse two weeks
ago. In the final period of the fray,
Bud scampered 25 yards on a lateral
from Rogel to score one of the
touchdowns.
Has anyone noticed how well Julius
FRANZOSA looks lately? We are
inclined to think that the returns on
Aaron Deitch, in addition to serving
as manager of intra-mural athletics,
has taken over the duties of junior
varsity manager.
Conclusive evidence indicates that
this year's quintet will be potentially
stronger than last year's squad.
Watch these boys. "They're going
places."

court candidates.
