Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor *
Sports followers in a the student body,
focusing their attention' oh winter
prospects with the official close of the
fall season, arebound.to be somewhat
shocked at the announcement, that the
varsity basketball. schedule has been
out to eleven games.
There is no doubt that financial
conditions in the athletic association
necessitate retrenchment somewhere.
However, with most high schools play
ing from fourteen to eighteen con
tests and the - average college card
consisting of twenty games, it is in
deed unfortunate that the basketball
schedule, which has been pared to fif
teen games for the last few years,
again had to.come under the knife of
economic necessity.
Examination of over a score of
schedules of leading colleges in the
East reveals only one school, Lafay
ette, whose thirteen-game card comes
anywhere near the short Lion sched
ule. The quintets of most of the in
stitutions, including 'Penn, Villandva,
Princeton, Columbia, Temple, Car
negie Tech, and'West Virginia, will
play schedules averaging twenty
games in length. .
.While a card of over thirty games,
such os Pitt went through last year,
cnlri' provo positively injurious, we feel
that too few games are just as harm
fill to a team’s condition. We sin
cerely hope the schedule will reassume
itd normal length with a return to
rciier days, financially.

jSure evidence that the open season
fqf all-star grid team selections is
pjjrain upon us is borne out in the
official Associated Press All-Eastern
seicctions l reposing on our desk. How
much proximity to a ‘metropolitan
newspaper can mean to a team in
these selections is revealed by the fact
tljijit not one Penn State man was men
tioned either on the two elevens se
lected or in the list of over a" hundred
players -given honorable mention.
■Vyhilc we may'.be prejudiced, we re
fuse to believe that there isn’t one
pipyer here who measures up to the

Leslie Works With Squad
Of 35 Nittany Basketeers
5 Lettermen Vie for
Positions on Lion
Court Team
.By W. M. STEGMEIER *34
A new coach with new ideas, an
early opening game looming not too
far away, and thirty-five varsity as
pirants dotted with no less than five
of last year's lettermen .makes 'bas
ketball the reigning winter sport in
pre-season' practice up at Recreation
hall. ' . '
Although daily practices have been
held for over three weeks, additional
candidates are still welcome. “The
team really belongs to the students
themselves and it's up to them to sup
port it by trying-out for the sport,
I’Hgive anybody a chance that wants
to try," Coach Spike Leslie said.
“Nothing’s settled, ‘ all positions are
stil]' open.”
Seeks Center
’lncluded in the squad list are Mc-
Farlana and Thomas, forwards on
Dutch Hermann’s five last year, and
McMinn and Conn, who handled most
of the defense work oh the same club.
Captain Moser, who has been absent
froni'xpractice sessions for the last
feW’days because of a. serious illness
in-his family, is expected to return to
the’'’squad this week. Jack M.eyers,
another of the lettermen, will be elig
ible for the team for the remainder
of this semester.
Coach Leslie’s biggest problem of
the yerfr will be finding a center
large ' enough qualify there. Pos
sible candidates for the position in
clude Cummings, last year’s freshman
pivot, man, and .Wittum, varsity sub
stitute of the past season. As an ex
periment, Leslie has shifted McFar
lane from, forward .to center several
times' during\ practice and it is pos
sible that Norty may see more service
tthore..
In addition to Cummings* as. a po
tential member of-the team, Fletcher,
Kilmoyer, Symington, and Stocker
are other sophomores who are out to
take ad vantage, of. openings. Any one
of them may. develop enough power
to clinch a*varsity berth, Leslie said.
•Drill in the'fundamentals of the;
game has-occupied-most of the time
of- the aspiring courtmen in the daily
afternoon .sessions. However, Spike
has already begun;to .experiment with,
different’ offensive . ’ and defensive
combinations' in' several/, scrimmages

Bah
That’s why we keep telling you about
the tobaccos used in Chesterfields.
They’re fine, mild, and pure tobaccos.
We tell you about ageing and curing
the tobaccos... about blending and
cross-blending them ... because they
arc things tliat'count.
Chesterfields arc milder. They taste
better. Prove it for-yourself... Just
try a package.
