Between
the Lions
with
'The Sports Editor
We come to the end of a year’s com
menting on Lion sports matters "with
mixed reactions. Combined with
more personal and sentimental feel
ings is a firm belief that, despite the
pessimistic outlook possessed by many
Penn Staters, the future holds a high
place in the sun of intercollegiate
competition for Lion athletic teams. A
general depression in athletic confid
ence followed almost inevitably upon
several” seasons of mediocrity on the
gridiron; But even - now, the shadows
are lifting, and there is every, reason
to believe.that,'together with the new
conception of athletic ideals pervad
ing those Eastern institutions with
whom Penn State would like to com
pete most, will come Lion elevens-com
parable in power and standing to the
great teams of the,past.
While the farewell’spirit is with us,
we’d like to get a word or two off our
chest about things in general and stu
dent criticism of Lion coaches in par
ticular. We’ll grant that, even with
in our own college career, much of
this criticism was merited in certain,
cases. But, as things stand, now,
those;of the old guard left—Bob Hig
gins/? Joe Bedenk, Charlie Speidel,
Nate Cartmcll, 'Bill Jeffrey, Leo
Houck, and Bob Rutherford—are all
men! who combine a thorough know-,
ledge, of their particular sport with
a splendid loyalty to the College and
its traditions. The men added this
year—i Spike Leslie, Nels- Walke, and
Mike Loebs—have yet to receive a fair
test of their merits, but, in cases
wherk even in’one year they have lift
ed their respective sports out of long
standing ruts, they deserve com
mendation.
+ + +
Having exonerated teams and
coaches from the disrespect long at
tached to certain of them in too many
quarters,., it is only fair that we be
permitted a few words in defense of
policies of ours;.which met with,-se
vere criticism during the past year.
Our. aim when we took over the duties
of guiding the Collegian’s first critf
ical sports column was, to present' a
sincere and fearless interpretation of
athletic matters, about the campus, as
we saw them. Since our judgment
is by no means infallible, there have
been many times when our opinion
may have seemed to be narrow or
prejudiced. But, in the main, we have
tried to steer a course generally con
sistent with student opinion. Wheth
er you have agreed with what we said'
or not, we have been successful, in our
aims if .these matters were brought
to your attention throughrthis; column.
■Before we go, ‘a few words of in
troduction for our successor. W. M.
S. has both a good knowledge of
sports matters and a sincere interest
in Penn State athletic teams. We are
certain that when these.two factors
are combined with t his facility of
style, the result will be a sports col
umn ■tyh'ich will illustrate very de
cidedly the truth of all theories that
advance the beneficial effects of
changes in administration.’
And so, with appreciation again
both to those who read between the
lines and the others who stuck to
what was written, we “hang up the
gloves.” Or, as one of our “dearest
friends and severest critics” describes
our retirement, “Farewell to Harms”
. . . We’ll be seein’ you ...
—S. H. B.
The spirit of the nation has
changed l from an attitude of fear
to one of hope and <courage. All
signs point forward and upward.
Aiding in this recovery will be

thfl nation; each- one a tested
and acceptcd : unit in a new and
stronger banking system..

Penn State Nine Will Meet Maryland,
Navy, Virginia on Annual Southern Tour
To Pity Lid Off Season
With Untried Squad
At College Park
By FRKD W. WRIGnT '35
Penn State took the lid ofF 3.2 per
cent brew Friday after thirteen years
of drought,'and this Friday the Nit
tany Lion baseball- team will attend
another opening. While it hadn’t ex
actly been thirteen years the
Lions opened* a diamond season, the
intervening year has served to whet
the baseball appetites of the Bedenk
coached outfit.
Although the Nittany nine will en
ter the opening game of the southern
trip against the University of Mary
land a comparatively untried team in
the point of actual- combat, they will
at least be starting at scratch. The
Marylanders haven’t played a game
either.
Parks Slated .To Pitch
■ln recognition of his fine perform
ance • throughout the training period,
Keith Parks lias been selected by
Coach Joe Bedenk to take the mound
in the opening gaihe. Paul Swari, who
caught in every game last season, will
resume his duties where he left oIT
at the close of -the 1932 campaign.
The same 'infield combination that
functioned'almost all of last season
will again>take the field. ' CaptaiH
Regie Smith will be back at his old
third-base post, while. Bill Lohr will
•again do the shortstopping. Wally
Walus at second base, and “Zev” Za

Middy Team Called One
Of Strongest in
3-Game Trip
, Easter vacation may mean home,
relaxation, and good times to the ma
'ority of Penn State students, but to
the Lion baseball team it's just anoth
er synonym for the annual southern
trip which opens the 1933 diamond
season.
Following the opening game with
the University of Maryland, Captain
Regie Smith and his mates will make
a forced march northward to attack
the Navy forces at Annapolis, Md.,
Saturday. Sunday will be a day of
rest, but Monday the Bedenkmen will
be facing what they hope will turn
into real southern hospitality when
they meet the University of Virginia,
at Charlottesville, Va.
Navy Has Won 1 2, Lost 1
In Navy, the Lion diamond repre
sentatives will be meeting one of the
strongest teams-below the MJason-Dix
on line. The Midshipmen defeated
the University of Verjnont in the
season's opener, by an 8-to-7 score,
but lost to the University of Rich
mond Wednesday, 14-to-5. Lafayette
became Navy's second victim of the
season by a 3-to-l score on Saturday.
Big “Slim” Davenport, Navy left
hander, will face the Lions from the
mound. Davenport, who has pitched
and won two complete games this
season, has a record of holding Ver
mont and the Leopards to eight runs,
but he was treated rather roughly by
the University of Richmond team.
The. Lion's hardest problem will in
volve stopping Kossler and Daunis,
thfrd- and first-basemen respectively,
whojiave been the biggest siege guns
for,the Navy attack all season. Both
Kossler. and Daunis hit safely-three j
times in the Vermont game. 1
