This will be the first look that local
fans will get at the defending junior
college champions. There are several
local boys on the state teachers col

SPORTSTUFF
By DICK BAGBY
Intra-mural basketball got off to a
good start Monday, with the Fireballs
singeing the Cobras 41-20. Ravina was
high scorer for the (winners with 22
points, while Hutnyan racked 'up 10
points for the losers. It looks as
though Mr. Ravina could have beaten
them single handed.
Penn State, with Fran Rogel,
turned in a nice performance against ,
Penn last week and:seem to be on the
way to another undefeated season.
Howevver, this week the Nittany
Lions meet a stubborn Temple eleven
who almost upset the Lions' apple
cart last season. It was only after a
terrific battle last season that Penn
State was able to down Temple 7-0.
I look forward to another thriller be
tween these two rivals SaturdaY.
Joe 'Gordon, of the Cleveland In
dians, last season became the fourth
active player in the American League
to hit over 200 homers. Joe DiMag
gio, Rudy York, and Ted Williams are
the others.
The upset of Georgia • Tech. by Ten
nessee last Week was really a sur
prise. Although the Tech. team rolled
up 18 first downs to Tennessee's 4,
the fleet Yellow Jacket backs were a
little too careless with the ball, which
enabled the Volunteers to come on the
long end of a 13-6 score.
Villanova players who have faced
Army teams for the past five seasons,
regard the current West Point aggre
gation the hardest hitting of all.
The six team league that Hazleton
is to play in next isesoan is a great
idea. In this league each team will
play all the others and the champion
ship will be decided on a games won
and lost basis. This should quell post
season arguments as to which school
really had the best team.
Rocky Castellani, the battling mid
dleweight from Luzerne, Pa., is to
meet Sonny Horne at the Kingston
Armory November 8. This is Rocky's
first appearance at home since he
thumped out a one-sided, victory over
Herby Kronowitz last July. Horne is
a very tough customer, who has faced
the best, including two bouts with
Rocky Graziano. He undoubtedly 'will
be the toughest foe Castellani has met
in his sensational rise up the fistic
ladder. If Castellani wins this one,
he will have demonstrated his right
to step into a garden winner.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a
star team this year with Steve Van
Buren ripping up the yardage that
he is, and Patton kicking the extra
poinst as fast fast as the touchdowns

COLLEGIA
Ist Leagli Game
At Pottsville;
Student Rally
The first 'game for the Hazleton
Center basketball team in the junior
college league will be at Pottsville,
December 4. Pottsville Center stu
dents will stage a "Welcome Hazle
ton" jamboree for the local team and
followers.
It was pointed , out that students
who wish to go to the Pottsville game

Rudman before 5 p.m. November 29.
A $1 fee will cover all transportation.
The season will end up with a
state junior college tournament to be
held in Altoona March 4 and 5. This
was decided at the recent Harrisburg
meeting of the Pennsylvania Junior
College Athletic Association. Hazle
ton was host school last year.
These playoffs match the four top
teams of the 'junior college loop. The
Rudmanites are the present state ju
nior college champions.
ONLY TWO TEAMS
So [far, only twoh teams have been
submitted to participate in the Men's
Intra-mural bowling, league.
Students are urged to form teams
of either four or six, and participate
in this sport. There is no limit to the
amount of teams and as soon, as
enough teams are entered, a schedule
will be.made out for the season.

name before she was married?
Little Boy: I think it was Waldorf,
that's the name on all our towels.

are racked up. In last Sunday's game
Van Buren picked up a total of 142
yards rushing, which should put him
on top in the ground gaining division
of the National League. Patton also
sparked the Eagles in their win over
the Giants by running his string of
conversions up to 28 straight.
STATE'S "PHILADELPHIA STORY"-
ONE VICTORY. THAT MEANT A LOT
Philadelphia's Bellvue - Stratford
hotel, lodging place of Penn State's
famed Blue Band and classy cheer
leaders, was a scene of turmoil Fri
day night prior to the Penn State-
Penn U. game last week-end.
Most of State's followers had the
"first get together" there and the
college yell kings' and queens were
shouting cheers from the hotel's main
steps while the Nittany throngs were
flooding the streets, confident only of
a State victory.
When the final gun sounded the
next day, this throng which had
flooded center Philadelphia the night
before, moved on the Franklin Field
battleground in a stampede of joy.
With State's followers determined to
get a part of the now-historical up- ,
rights, the goal posts were split into

High great and coach of the college's

"OOPS, SORRY" CLUB
GETS 2 NEW*MEMBERS
Two cards of membership were is
sued for the "Oops, Sorry" club in
one game last season. They went to
Williams, Duke fullback, and Roys
ton, Wake Forest guard.
In their game in Wake Forest,
Williams took the snap from center
and did a half turn to start a re
verse. He faked a handoff to one
back and extended the ball toward
the end (an end-around menuever).
Instead of an end, here came
Royston, the Wake Forest guard,
who had blundered through the hole
left by a Duke lineman pulling out
into the interference. Royston
brushed by Fullback Williams, and
to his surprise had a football thrust
into his abdomen.
Royston clutched it, recognized it
as a standard football and in a flash
saw glory ahead under the goal post
with none to stop him. Then, guard
like, he tripped over his own feet
and fell flat!
Father: What do you mean bring
ing my daughter home at this hour?
Date: We have to be in class by
eight, sir.
Joy is not in things. It is in us
about as many pieces .as were needed
to satisfy the mob.
"Thank God . ."
One of the big men at the Stratford
was heard to remark, "Thank God
all the 'people wanting tickets didn't
get them." And there was no trouble
imagining what the staid city would
have been like had the rooters of
Pennsylvania's two great colleges,
received the pastboards asked for.
INittany Lion )Coach Bob Higgins
was the hero of the weekend as the
Friday-to-Sunday crowd flowed out
of the city late Sunday night. From
all indications, many students missed
classes Monday morning and many
alumni missed work at the same time.
Penn State was "king of the hill"
after a colorful better-than-exected
performance Saturday afternoon.
