QUAKERSOUTCLASS
LION COURT TEAM
Henning, Reserve Center, Leads,
Blue and White Scorers
With 9 Point Total
By W. SI. STEGMEIEIt Mi
After favoring the Lions in- their
opening game of the season by hand
ing them a 43-to-24 win over Susque
hanna, Fate reversed her scales and
placed the Blue and White court team
on the wrong end of exactly the same
score in the encounter with Penn at
the Palestra Saturday night.
The Quakers completely outclassed
the Lions throughout the game. Only
once near the start of the second half
did the Ked and Blue quintet slow
down enough to enable the Lion cag
'ers to slip in several field goals, thus
preventing a complete white-washing.
At one time in the game the score
stood at 28-to-4 in favor the Philadel
phia team.
Just as the Philadelphia writers
predicted,, the. entire game hinged on'
one thing—whether or not Penn State
could produce a man to hold down
Bob Freeman, the Bed and Blue sen
sational center. Unfortunately for
the Lions, Wittum was hopelessly
dwarfed when matched against the
Quaker pivot man so that it was im
possible for him to prevent a run of
goals that netted the Penn giant a
total of eleven points.
Henning Stars
Penn monopolized the ball for prac
tically the entire forty minutes of
play. In addition to repeatedly taking
the tapoff, the huge Red'and Blue
guards always managed to snatch the
ball off the back boards. - In other
words, even when the -Lions gained
possession of the ball momentarily,
one chance at the basket was all they
were allowed.
Henning was the surprise of the
game for the Penn /State rooters and
even for Coach Spike Leslie himself.
Replacing-Wittum at the start of the
second half, the lanky Nittany pivoter
acquired no less than nine of the
twenty-four Nittany points before the
end of the game to gain high score
for the Lions.
McMinn was the only other State
player able to find the basket for
more than one field goal. Scoring a
total of seven points, Ed’s tallies:
showed three field mark.ers and one
charity shot. Incidently, McMinn
started as a forward, trading places
with Thomas who was moved into the
back-court.- ,
' The Red and Blue performance was
faultless. Time after time the Qua
ker cagers worked the ball up the
court on, short snappy passes. Sel
dom were .long shots attempted, so
that the Nittany defense—or, what
was supposed to be a Nittany defense
—was kept busy continually.
During the game, thirteen players
wore the Red .and Blue, while Coach
Leslie used only seven of the ten Nit
tany Lions who made the trip. It
seems probable, that the Blue and
White courtmen will,be very busy in
Recreation'hall for the next several
days!

BOXING CANDIDATES
Routine Assignments Comprise
Daily Work-out Periods
For Lion Milmen
By CITARLES A. MYERS *34
Plenty of bag punching, shadow
boxing, rope jumping, weight pulling,
medicine ball throwing, and exercis
ing,comprise the afternoon bill of fare
for forty Lion boxing candidates these
days.
Handicapped by -the ineligibility of
“Pete” Updegroye, Coach Leo Houck
will have only three other lettermen
as mainsprings for his 1933 boxing
clockwork. Captain Johnny McAn
dre\vs, 135-pound intercollegiate
champion, Herb Minich, 125 pounds,
and Tom Slusser, 165 pounds, are the'
lettermen available. ;
Ralston, Miller Compete
In the 115-pound class, Leo will
have Jim. Ralston, who won two of*
his bouts last season, and Johnny
Miller, of last year’s freshman team.
•Besides Minich, in the 125-pound
division, Napoleon, seasoned senior,
and Zeleznock, also of last year’s
freshman team, will be in line for the
call.
If Captain MeAndrews is moved up
a weight, Ferrcro will be an outstand
ing candidate for the 135-pound po
sition. For Updegrove’s vacant berth
it’s probably between Kessler, fresh
man boxer last year, and Reynolds, a
junior.
Tom Slusser will be in the com
petition for. his old ’ place at 165
pounds, while Nebel, who won one of
his dual meet fights last year and
lost the other, is sure to give tough
opposition to any 175-pound aspirant.
Woolbert and Anderson, both sopho
mores’, will‘fight it out.for the bid in
the ' newly-reinstated heavyweight
class.
Rater of Champion
Grid Elevens Once
Served on Faculty
Prof. Frank G. Dickinson, of the
University*.of Illinois, who annually*
selects £he national football champion
by rating .the~teams on their records
during the season, served one year as
a member of the College faculty, it
was revealed by the President’s office
last week.
...Prof.,.Dickinson, who ..named the
Universityof Michigan as the national
champion-for 1932, held the rank of
instructor in economics on the College
faculty in 1922-23, according to rec
ords in the President’s office. He re
turned to the University of Illinois,
his alma mater, the following year.
• Explaining his selection'of Michigan
over the University of Southern Cali
fornia, despite the Trojan’s victory
over the. University of Pittsburgh in
the Tournament of Roses, Dickinson'
declared last week that'post-season
games never figure-in-his ratings.
Since most colleges are denied post
season football because of tradition or
weather- conditions, it is unfair to con
sider such contests in determining the
national champion, he said.
The Illinois professor first develop
ed his system of rating teams as a
personal hobby, publishing them ex
clusively in the Illinois Alumni News.
Recognition 'by newspapers brought
him into the limelight throughout the
country.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Collegian Crushes
Feeble Frothies
In Court Contest
With the exhortations of an audi
ence of five co-eds dinning in their
ears, an established-in-1904 Colleg
ian basketball team.laughed to shame
a foaming Froth aggregation to the
sweet music of a 21-to-ll score, Sat
urday night.
All over the floor, in keeping with
the slogan of Complete Campus Cov
erage, the Printer’s Devils checked the
funnymen, who tore around like a
school of ticks in a rug factory. The
strategy was to sweep the journal
ists from their feet ’and to walk tc
victory over their piled corpses.
Once, twice, thrice, even again, the
type slingers held the frothing one?
under the shadow of- the basket. FOl
a tense moment the ball lipped the
loop, then remained suspended like a
dangling participle, and oozed to the
floor where with a cry of “Goonn
goona,” the staid Collegian stalwart?
wero on the run down the floor..
Five minutes later the first Froth
man reached the free-throw zone
where the “split-infinitives” were tak
ing turns'at baskets. Sixteen-to-nine
ran tho score at the end of the half.
Somewhat- revived, although still
catching their wind from all parts of
the hall, the excrutiatingly funny fel
lers lost the tip-off, but gained the
ball by clever foot work. Then it
was that they tore down the floor and
part of the stands which interrupted
the game for some time.
With nothing to' lose and everything
to gain, the Frantic Froth Five began
taking pot ’shots, from'mid-floor. To
the spectators the ball seemed like so
many toy balloons in a night club.
Amused at the spectacle, the Col
legian cohorts stood around until an-,
gered at the funnymen’s selfishness in
freezing the ball thusly, they snatched
it and wero absorbed in pleasant play
until the end of the game. The score
then read 21-to-11.
■This latest victory compares favor
ably with the momentous gridiron tri
umph of tho Printer’s Devils over the
funny punsters -two years ago. Then
it was that the indomitable
line thrust back the puny plunges of
the professional pun pokers.
