Lion Passers Seek 7th Straight Against St. Thomas Tomorrow
Lions Slightly
Favored Over .
Strong Purple
Will Try To Maintain
Point-per-Minute
As Average.
By CHARLIE SCHWARTZ
Striving to maintain their point-a
minute average, after defeating
Army Saturday night, 38-34, theNit
tany Lion basketball team will faee
a strong St. Thomas quintet in Rec
reation hall at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow
night. The Lions are slightly fav
ored to make this their. seventh vie
tory in u row.
St. Thomas has an impressive rec
ord so far this year. They have de
feated Catholic University, Wheaton,
Penn A. C., Toronto, and St. Peter's.
The probable line-up for the Tommies
will be: Capt. Eddie Deitch, center;
Ray Bownian and Edward 'filed"
Coleman, fOrwards; and Chick Hake,
and Prank Rolines, guards. Coach
Spike Leslie will probably use the
same starting line-up that he has in
the laSt two games.
Bowman is the outstanding member
of the visitor's squad. Fast, quick,
and clever, he is high scorer this year:
Capt. Deitch's six feet, four filches of
height will give lanky Jim Hunter ,
plenty of trouble, too.
Army was not a smart team or they
would have grasped the "Leslie sys
tem" and stopped it. InStead, the
Lions consistently had the Cadet quin
tet so, tangled that they were bump
ing into each other. Time and again
during the latter part of the second
half the Lions befuddled the Cadets.
and worked a man in under the has=
ket to score.

As Lion Five Joins League
College Protection of Pseudo - Simon - Purism
Should End Since Blue Blobd Colleges
Play `Fly-by-Night' Schools.
By FRED W. WRIGHT, Sports Editor
One of the most significant events 'in Penn State's athletic history since
1927, when direct subsidization was discontinued, was formally 'approved
Saturday morning.
The Athletic Board of Control in mid-winter session okayed Penn State's
entrance into the Eastein Intercollegiate Basketball Confeiende, ' without
"ifs", "ands", or "buts".
4.nd so, for a while at least, ends the question of whether Phnn State
is hob-nobbing with institutions of
questionable academic and athletic
sympathy in comparison with those
held by the College. Penn State is in
the conference, but they can withdraw
at any time that College authorities
deem the association as being any
thing else but beneficial.
Concerns Only Basketball
As far as the situation stands right
at this minute, no further athletic as
sociation is .being considered. Ap
parently, the Conference—Pitt, Tem
ple, Carnegie Tech, West Virginia and
Georgetown—will never be one big
happy family athletically. The pre
sent set-up concerns • basketball and
basketball alone.
There were a bevy of reasons that
Penn State accepted the Conference
invitation to ally itself. The authori
ties apparently were convinced that
admittance into the snooty Eastern
League was definitely out for all time.
The Conference would bring some
name teams to Recreation hall that
might be interesting to watch and
thereby increase student interest.
Further, With Penn State teams col-.
letting approximately fifty percent of
the net receipts at such monuments
Co basketball as Mitten Hall, in Phila
delphia, and Pitt Stadium, where tills
jingle to the tune of $l,lOO to $1,600
per game, the College might even split
even.in the sport, thereby giving the
amount, usually devoted in other
years to the deficit, to furthering cer
tain other sports policies.
Sc6uts Oppositi6n
cent of the Temple game earlier this
year, the Lions showing .up as a su
perior team when hare-pressed. It.
also resembled the game with the Ca
dets here two years ago which - the
Lions won, 33-26. In Saturday night's
game, which the. Lions led, 20-16, at
half time, there was never a differ
ence of more than seven points.
Monk Meyer, bespectacled Army
for Ward, romped off with scoring hon
ors, regittering eight field and five
out of six fouls, for a total Of twenty
one points. Captain Johnny Stacker
led the Lions with 'thirteen points,
seven of them scored on free throws.
Frank Smith and Mike Karnick Were
unable to bOttle up Meier, most of
his shots bang dropped in froin 'al
most Mid-court.
Despite the fact that lie scored but
once from the field and twice' rem the
foul line, Kornick played an excellent
'floor ,game. Guarding Meyer during
the first half, he played him so closely
that he intiairertently fouled the Ca
det
. three.t.imes. He was all over,
breaking up the Cadet passes And
then working :the ball in to 'Stocker
for the score: •
These academicians who have op-
posed Penn,. State's proposed, entry
into the Conference on a basis of
"improper association with institu
tions decidedly not:of our calibre in
matters of ethics, standing, and gen
eral policy," and who hold that bet
tering the schedule for Rec hall con
sumption can be accomplished with
out any Conference tie-up, might re
member that the game tomorrow
night is with St. Thomas, a fly-by
night school of the setae calibre and
general type as Rider College in Tren
ton, N. J.
;Rider whipped Princeton last De
cember. •If institutions who bleed blue
can play teams representing institu
tions similar to business Colleges',
without jeopardizing their social sta
tus, then Penn'State ought to be able
to play in the same conference with
'Pitt, Temple, West Virginia, et al.
without giving everybody the impres
sion that Penn State is academically
of the same type.
Penn State, might as .well realize
right now that money, publicity, and
location have a lot to do with prestige,
academic and athletic, and there isn't
much chance of getting either of the'
last two changed. Verily, the meek
haven't inherited the earth—not in
the light of the past five years of so.
It's time that Penn State stopped
protecting a reputatio nthey haven't
got.

'3B Baske,teers Lose
To Brown Prep. 34-31
In an unsuccessful attempt to stop
the sixteen-garne' Winning streak of
Brown Prep, the Lion freshman five
lost its opening game, .of the season,
34-31, here Saturday.
The freshmen pushed the lanky
Prep team to their limit from the
start of the game, but experience won
out. The first half ended With the
score in Brown's .favor;,23-19.
Joe Proksa and Rabbit Wear lead
the defensive playing, centering their
attention on Brown's high scorers,
Russ Herman and Herm Wise, who
were the flash combination of Over
brook High school several years ago.
Dolly Katz and Sol Mieholt lead the
attack for the Lions, feeding the ball
to Jack Reichenbach at Pivot position,
Who scored ten of State's points.
It being the freshman team's first
game of the year, nervous strain was
evident, but they managed to keep the
visitors' lead doWn to five points or
less. Brown took advantage of the
numerous fouls committed on them,
converting twelve out of 15 tosses,
while the Lion yearlings only scored
three points out of eight possibilities.

Penn State's boxers dropped their
first meet of the year in the Univer
sity of Maryland ring on Saturday
night when the well-balanced Mary
land team rolled up four decisions
and a technical R. 0. to State's three
I decisions, making the final score 5-
to-3, with Zeleznock, Ritzic, and Rich.
ter scoring for State.
Things started on the down .grade
for State from the start when Frank
ie McAndrews, State's 115-pounder,
dropped a tough decision to Young.
Frankie just couldn't get his left
working too effectively and too con
sistently to take Young down.
Captain Mike Zeleznock evened
things up for the Lions when he earn . -
ed a decision over Waller, of Mary
land, in the 125-pound class. From
the way Mike has been going this
year, and unless he Meets with some
mishap, he bids ?air to graduate from
this institution with his intercollegi
ate crown still on his head.
Larry Madison, State's 135-pound
er, dropped his second fight of the
year to Nedoinatsky on a technical
knock-out at the close of the second
round. Larry always gets underway
nicely, but of late he has been having
trouble trying to keep his left out

Frankie Goodman, whose perform
:once against Miami was the talk of
',.local sports circles, suffered his first
intercollegiate defeat at the hands of
Webb, Marylander 195-pounder, de
'spite the work of his left.
Lou Ritzie, State, fighting in the
: 155-pound division, staged a great
fight and scored the second of the
Lion victories when he gained a deci
sion in two rounds over Lombardo.
Lou has steadily come up in the re-:

Apparently wrestling coach Charlie
Spcidel was "seeing things under his

lumbia meet would be a "super-colos
sal struggle."
Not_ only Charlie, but practically
everybody that wandered into Rec hall
Saturday afternoon expected to wit
ness a battle-royal. The Columbia
wrestlers meant well and were ter
rific scrappers, but they were so com
pletely outclassed by the Lions that
the comparison Was painful.
'The celebrated King of Columbia

expected; Captain Chilvers threw
Charlie's pet enigma, Di Rito, on a
fluke in the last minute; and .jovial,
chubby Brown, of Columbia, - forced
Civitts to go extra periods with him
before Paul was given a referee's de
cision. With these three exceptions,
the Colurriliia wrestlers simply proved

The next two bouts ended in falls.
