Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
-' Wednesday night, for the first time
in months, we heard a distinct growl
issue from the jowls of "an ageing
Nittany Lion." It was such a definite
stir that we thought for a while that
it might develop into a real roar. It
seems that students were going to hold
a pajama parade— , a demonstration
for Nate. There were almost' two
hundred undergraduates assembled,
all ready to paint the town red. They
were rarin'to go. •
Just at the crucial moment, how
ever, some "nursemaids" for that
"ageing Nittany Lion" stepped up.
They said that the poor Lion couldn't
stand a real honest-to-goodness roar.
.The animal, they persuaded, Was al
ready in such a poor state of health
that over-exertion would surely be
fatal. And so they gave the Lion a
dose of soothing syrup and put the
old animal back in his bed. "Oh,
where is the spirit of yesteryear?"
+++
"An Old Tinier" writes: "Nate
must go! And since this seems to be
the decree of the powers that be, let's
show the outside world, the Trustees,
the faculty, and King Intramural, just
how much Nate means to us by turn
ing out strong for the intramural
track meet tomorrow afternoon. It
will be the final Cartmell-conducted
meet on New Beaver field. Youri for
a fair Penn State."
It's a good idea, Old Tinier. 'We'll
be there and we have a hunch that
there'll be a lot more Cartmell en
thusiasts in the stands. Even if
can't change - the minds of the "powers
that he," we can at least show Nate
just how many student and faculty
friends he has.

. Down next to the bottom of this
column you'll find a letter from J. H:
B. '33. It's a letter that you simply
must read to understand what is to
follow. You see,. when we took over
the job of conducting this, department
we were'pretty much enthused-about
the whole bUsiness. We 'had a lot
of ideas and we were determined to
discuss in our own "fearless" stile a
lot of controversial questions about
Penn State's athletics. We thought
we might do some real good by being
a medium of expression for student
opinion or something concerning Lion
sports. * Well, after all our sincere
efforts, it seems that there are some
who have misinterpreted our motives.
S. H. 8., for instance. This is exact
ly why we offer this explanation; and
it is. an explanation, not an apology!
We don't mind letters like J. H. B.'s.
In fact, it's a happy day for us when
we find our desk stacked with similar
missives. For after all, if nothing
else, it proves that we succeeded in
getting some people to really think,
even if-we (lid .do it by'"getting under
their skin." _Nevertheless, we want
to give our adoring public what they
want. Is J. H. 33. ,the exception, or
otherwise? To carry on the "banner
of truth," "freedom of the press,"
etc., we're •going to need some back
ing, some specific words of encourage
ment from our "admirers." We'll
wait, patiently.

little query on the corner of our desk.

Tales 'of Lion helplessness before
bullets will be tested when the Gettys
burg College Bullets invade the.lair
of the Lion on New Beaver field at
2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Back in the victory column as a re
sult of •a 5-to-3 defeat administered
to Dickinson College Wednesday af
ter langUishing for eighteen days in
the also-ran class in their battle
against rainy weather, the Blue and
White standard bearers will be facing
an aggregation that has a record of
but one defeat in five games played.
Bullets Beat Middies
Baseball fans who like their com
parative scores will find something
rather heartening and something
rather disconcerting in the Gettys
burg record. " The Bullets were de
feated by Bucknell—a team the Lions
conquered with ease—by a 9-to-3
score, but a week later they submerg
ed Navy by a decisive 10-to-4 verdict.
Gettysburg met the Bisons only
four days after the Bedenkmen had
finished walking all over them, 12-to
-2, and at the time hardly lived up
to their belligerent sobriquet. But
their showing against the Midship
men—whom the Lions defeated by a
4-to-2 score—classes them as enigmas
for the Bedenkmen to solve.
Deßonis May Start
It looks as if Al Deßonis will get
his first mound assignment of the
year for the Nittany diamondmen.
Keith Parks is capable of performing
out of turn, but with such veteran
talent as Deßonis ready to take the
mound, pitching the Lion right-hand
er seems a bit illogical.
"Shorty" Edwards looked like a fix
ture in rightfield in the Dickinson
game, driving in the Lion margin of
victory with a timely double and
handling everything hit his way with
the ease and assurance of a veteran.
Catcher Swan's injured finger didn't
seem to bother him and there prob
ably will be no exceptional changes
in the line-up.
For Gettysburg, Morris will play
centerfield; Eby, second base; Enders,
shortstop; .TOnes, rightfield; Kitzmil
ler, first-base; Dracha, third-base;
Olkewicz,' catcher; Houghton, left
field; Kozma, pitcher.

To the Editor:
This letter in intended as one which
the writer hopes will lead to the writ
ing of more efficient and more inter
esting news in the column bearing the
heading—" Between the Lions."
I have been considering.writing this
letter for some time; in fact ever since
I got the impression that the Sports
Editor was trying to merely fill his
column. Why this impression? - Be
cause he has written of things of
which he had little or no verification.
I noticed in.one issue (May 5, 1933)
where he uses the editorial "we" in re
' marking that it is best to rotate of
ficials. - Just how many are involved
in this "we"' or is it another "we"
modeled on the Lindbergh scale?
It is common among sports editors
I on our foremost metropolitan news
' papers to interview occasionally the
various coaches as to sources of in
formation for articles. Since recog
nized sports editors do that—why not
our humble COLLEGIAN Sports Editor?
And again to add to this - news
source idea. If officials are not want
ed, there are two sources of opposition
to them. Ono source is the players.
I have never been asked one question
as to players' attitude toward Hayes,
Dayhoff, and Gain And that goes
for most-of the athletes I have asked
about this matter. Another source of
objection would be visiting teams. Se
lections of officials in most cases are
sent to the visiting team for approval.

'36 NINE TO MEET
2 STRONG TEAMS
Wyoming, Dickinson Seminaries
Listed As Opponents for
- Week-end Meets .
By A. CONRAD JUICES '35
Seeking revenge for the Close de
feat suffered at the hands of Wyom
ing Seminary batsmen last year, year
ling tossers will journey to Kingston
today to encounter the Seminary bats
men. Returning to State College from
the "black diamond" belt, the plebes
will find another tough proposition
awaiting them when they meet Dick
inson Seminary in a postponed gdme
on New Beaver field at 4 o'clock to
morrow.
While both games will give the '36
batters a chance to display their dia
mond prowess, the most interest will
center in the Wyoming Seminary tilt
because of a 12-inning battle last year
which ended in a 12-to-13 score. Plac
ing a squad of heavy hitters on the
field, the Wyoming twirlers will play
their initial meet.
15 To Make Trip
Taking fifteen men to the Kingston
diamond, Coach Leo Houck will start
Thorne on the hill with Stokes, Bock
man, and Rugh as available substi
tutes. Dyson will 'be assisted by
Weaver behind the plate while Kra
bitz, Larson, Leidy, and Miller will
see action in the outfield. Houckmen
to hold sack positions will be Evans,
Bilacki, Sutliff', and Ochsner, with O'-
Hara at short.
Having practised five weeks in in
tramural competition, the Smith
coached outfit will begin a six-game
schedule tomorrow. They will engage
Dickinson Seminary next Friday at
Williamsport and the yearling dia
mondmen here Saturday.

Earning enough second and third
place points to bolster their two first

the championship of last year's tour

the victors, garnering first honors in
the relay to gain the place.
Tomorrow's meet will be conducted
similarly to a dual• meet, with track
and field events being staged simul
taneously. As a deviation, from last
year's contest, the one mile relay will
be conducted independently of the
meet, being scheduled for New Beaver
field, at 4:30 o'clock Monday.
With the scores of non-varsity
track and field contestants sprinting,
jumping, throwing weights and top
ping hurdles, the parade-by-proxy of
former LiOn greats should offer, tra

of glory in, the molding of long-re

visiting team. Bucknell's ball clan
through its coach particularly asked
for Mr. Gair. Is that not proof
enough as to the "why" of their con,

I have always read the COLLEGIAN
and consider its technical arrange
ment and most of its staff to be ex

mind for weeks and would never have
been written if new news had been
forthcoming in the column I' am
criticizing. Students get tired of
reading old stuff—especially when it
.

some of it appear!

GAGE GE
BATSMEN DEFEAT
CRAY AND RED, 5-3
3 Runs in Third Inning Account
Fat Nittany Victory in
Wednesday Tilt
Two extra-base hits, with a hit bat
ter and an error sandwiched between,
accounted for three runs in the third
inning and gave the Lion diamond
men a 5-to-3 victory over Dickinson
College on New Deaver field Wednes
day.
Wally Walus, Lion second-baseman,
opened the inning with a resounding
triple to deep rightfield and Captain
Regie Smith was hit by a pitched ball.
After Brewster had popped up, Left
fielder Kascsak was safe when Tam
anosky, Cray and Red hurler, fumbled
his weak grounder in front of the
plate to load the bases.
Edwards lids Double
"Zev" Zawacki made thr. , second out
of the inning via the strike-out route.
and the rally seemed due to die with
out a Lion score. But "Shorty" Ed
wards, starting his first game of the
year in rightfield, drove a long double
to right-centzr and three runs came
across on the hit—enough to• give the
Lions victory..
Scoring a run in .the first inning,
the BedellJulien got off to an early
lead and were never headed during the
remainder of tho game. A bate on
balls to Walus, Captain Smith's single,
and Hughes' low throw to second while
attempting to start a double play on
Kansales infield roller brought the
Lion second-baseman over the plate.
Devils Stage Rally
Not content with a four-run margin,
the Blue and White cohorts hiked their
lead to five in the fourth stanza.
Catcher Paul Swan's single, Parks'
deft sacrifice, and Captain Smith's
second hit of the game brought the
Nittany backstop home with the last
Lion tally.
Dickinson didn't capitalize a scor
ing threat until the fifth when they
broke out in a three-run scoring rash.
A single, a walk, a, stolen base, and
double after two were out brought all
three runners over with the final runs
of the game.
Th.a Gray and Red' invaders were
not as impotent during the other eight
innings as the score indicates; how
ever. A seventh inning rally put two
Red Devils on the paths when Ed
wards made a nice running catch of

skill by the two matches last week
end, .the Lion netmen face two hard
matches today and tomorrow. The
postponed meet with Bucknell will be
held at 4 o'clock this afternoon. while
the Nittanymen will oppose Dickin
son at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Hank Hartzler still heads the list of
the Penn State squad, after proving
his ability to employ machine gun
tactics to tennis situations last week
end. Bud Green has developed his
stroking to a point where efficiency
has become natural, and he'll prob
ably play as number two man this af-.
ternoon.
Captain Bud Wilson will probably
line up in position number three in
today's matches against the Bison'net
men, while Pin Block is expected t.)
battle in the fourth singles contest.
Positions five and six in the singles
matches will go to Charlie Shaeffer
and Skillen, with Shaeffer slated to

ever before against the invaders this
afternoon, as well as in the contests
tomorrow. Number one matches
against both the Bisons and the Dick

Block and Bud Green representing the
Lion hopes, while the Hartzler and
Shaeffer combination will oppose the

Bucknell and Dickinson have to offer
in the third doubles match to be play
ed. With the %experience of two
matches on the credit side of their

lying on the three doubles combina
tions to net the Lion squad several
points.
Plans yesterday were for all
matches to he played on the upper
tier of courts at New Beaver

SIGMA BOOTERS
WIN SOCCER TITLE
Delia Sigma Phi Team Blanked
By 3-to-O Score in Last
Intramural Game
Finding the net on two occasions in
tit:, first half, and again in the second
half, a Sigma Mu soccer team defeated
, Delta Sigma Phi hooters, hold
ing them scoreless in the champion
ship contest staged Wednesday after
noon.
Suede Hansen's toe figured largely
in the campus team's unchallenged at
tack, the Sigma Nu bunter registering
all the points in the encounter, lead
ing the attack for his team.
Hansen Opens Scoring
Delta Sigma Phi won the toss-up,
and elected to receive. The game was
yet young when Hansen took a pass
near the side of the field and dribbling
into scoring position, booted the ball
netward for the initial counter.
Buck Scatchard, Jack Cope, Pete
Wacker, Don Masters, and Harry
Jaquiss started the game for the Lo
cust Lane quintet, Cope, Masters, and
Jaquiss turning in commendable per
formances for the Delta Sigma Phi
cause.
Hansen, Frank Nebel, Jim Boring,
Ken White, and Carl Wittum lined up
for the victors. This combination
subdued Delta Theta Sigma in the
semi-finals to earn a passage to the
title contest, while Delta Sigma Phi
eked out a 2-to-1 victory over Alpha
Gamma Rho hooters to compete in the
deciding engagement.
Hansen found the net later in the
first half to raise the Sigma Nu lead
when he booted a quick goal from a
difficult angle of the field.
