Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
The news that twenty-seven of the
thirty-four regulars who played' on
Penn State’s three major winter
sports teams will be back next year
is reassuring to those who look for
ward to even more successful seasons:
than this year. Wrestling enthusi
asts should be especially optimistic
over next year’s prospects. With only
Captain Lorenzo" lost, intercolleg
iate champions Ellstrom and Cole
should lead the way through another
undefeated season and a team cham
pionship at the tournament here next
year. That is, if the matmen continue
the same high calibre wrestling that
they displayed this year. ‘
‘ Hardly less encouraging is the fact
that the two stellar Lion forwards,
McFarlane and Thomas, will- be
swishing 'the hoops-again in 1934.
Theso two courtmen, regulars since
last - year, should cause even more
worry-to opposing fives than they did
this season. Boxing will probably be
thd hardest hit of the three sports
siflee intercollegiate titleholders Mc-
Andrews and Napoleon.will get their
d plomas this June. Several promis
ing freshman mltmen, however, will
certainly relieve- some of Leo’s wor
r es.
St is pleasing to observe that base
b ill and track have not suffered so
n ich under the, knife of economy as
hjjve some of the winter sports. If
te lms as strong as Syracuse and Col
- gpte can be' found as substitutes for
tiiW former ' Triangular rivals, the
l|pn nine, with its attractive South
ern trip, will have an interesting and
formidable card of encounters. As
fpr the cindermen—North Carolina,
Army, Pitt and the Relays and Inter
collegiates should bring some of our
great runners the public atten
tion they deserve.

tention again because'of captaincy
arid - managerial" elections, we should
like to bring forth another off'our'pet
ideas on the cage sport .here before
itj-is laid away in mothballs for an
other season.
,:Our contention is simply that ath
letic officials should dim toward en
trance in a basketball league with in
stitutions of our calibre as soon as
tills is feasible. Much of the local in
t|pst in .boxing and wrestling lies in
fact that these sports are entered
associations; the huge;
interest-attendant upon Pennsylvan
ia’s highly organized scholastic has
k|p>aM system proves that such can
bg the case when similar organization
applied to basketball. While car
rpng out this plan might be a bit
difficult because many of the best
schools' of the East are already en
tered in established leagues, the re
sults would be well worth the work
'involved, for it.is safe to say that in
t«est in the cage sport here would
increase at least fifty per cent.

Hopes in 1934
Twenty-seven of the thirty-four
athletes who saw service with Penn
State’s three /major winter sports
teams tliis season will be back next
year to bolster the Lions’ chances on
the court, in the ring, and on the
mats.
Although four Lion courtmen will
be graduated in June, only two, Doc
Conn and Ed McMinn, played regu
lar ball during the past season. Cap
tain Walt Moser, who nursed a knee
injury all year, and A 1 Daykin, Nit
tany reserve, are the other .eager*
who have played their last game for
the Blue and White.
Nine other courtmen, five of whom
were awarded letters for service this
year, will be back competing for posi

COURT TITLE SITE
Organization To Make Selection •of
Final Basketball Location (
Over Week-end
Although no definite site. for the
State Interscholastic basketball 'finals'
has yet been selected, communications
from P. I. A. A. officials indicate that
Penn State is still being considered
for the play-offs next Saturday night.
Neil M. Fleming, graduate manag?
er of athletics, announced yesterday
that he had received a letter from the
secretary of the State Intcrscholastic
organization inquiring if Recreation'
hall would be available on .the date
for which the final game is scheduled
if State ‘ College would be selected.
1 As the elimination contests will be
! completed • tonight, Mr. Fleming ex
! pects to receive definite word from
the P. I. A.’A. officials early next
week. A meeting to decide ( the site
of the final game will probably be
held in Harrisburg either tomorrow;
or Monday.
After the finals here last year, of
ficials of the association intimated
that Recreation hall would probably
be selected for this' year’s contest.
However, because of financial condi
tions, several members now believe
that some .metropolitan. site..should. be.
selected to insure larger gate receipts.
*PUG’ RENTNER CHEATS FATE
To forestall fate, “Pug” Rentner,
Northwestern University’s .all-Ameri
can halfback, played in. the post
season East-West game last January,
despite Big Ten conference rulings
making him ineligible for further
varsity competition. He feared that
he would be scholastically ineligible
later. However, at, present his aca
demic standing is acceptable and he is
barred from varsity track.
