Page Four a Between By WALT Denmark is not the only state in which a condition of putridity can obtain; witness the recent diddling which came to the State Soccer team .10. the hands of the Eastern Association to which it has the for tune to belong. Make no mistake; I ant convinced of the fact that Vale had a good team and an excellent season. Yet, for that mat ter, so did State, and the invocation of the four lea gue-game rul ing against Penn State un der the. ch.- cumsta nces was taking ad vantage of ' a situation that arose from no ' fault of our Walt Freunseh our own.

A. hasn't done right by the boys. In spite of the cloSed corporation that some of the teams have made of the association, it should have been possible for an other game to have been scheduled. When it was seen ,that all our sea son's work must go for naught, something should have been done to insure our team a chance to be con sidered. No one of the athletic authori ties on this campus should have been so naive as to think for a sec ond that Penn State would be given the benefit of a doubt or any break at all. The decisions that have been called on the Lion soceermen in sea sons past should have been warning enough. Indifference to the for tunes of the soccer team has been manifested before; whether that is the case here is doubtful. Yet some explanation is due; not all of our bad luck can be traced to our ene mies in the association. That this business of active and associate standings is the bunk is shown by the association's decision to junk the whole set-up and make all teams active members. Had such a rule been in force this year, a co tie with Yale would have been as sured. There's an old saw, "Don't weep over spilled milk--the dairy man usually attends to its water ing." But this writer just can't help shedding a few tears when he thinks of seniors on a team that has never. been defeated being wompel led to go without recognition. We aren't permitted to play for a championship; we are commfiled to wait until January and then we go to New York and fight for it. For the last two skirmishes the score stands: E. I. S. A., 2; Penn State, 0. Is there a white hope.ex isting that will do something to ward restoring the soccer suprem acy where it belongs? If the above is being unsports manlike, then make the most of it. This department doesn't like to stand by year after year and see a fine coach, a fine team, and a fine game get kicked around by a bunch of muddle-heads. The basketball team's great shov ing fills the school kith confidence. It is Awn that the team this year is exceptionally capable, because the competition in the Eastern Con ference is such that only a crack erjack team can survive. And for breaking the Penn jinx, heartiest congratulations! Mrs. Wood Gives Files Mrs.' A. J. Wood,. widow, of the former head of the .ilepartnient of me chanical engineering, has 'contributed a long series of files of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Educa tion and Transactions of the Ameri can Society of 'Mechanical Engineers to the College 'Library. Seniors Take Inter-class Wrestling Tournament by 3-point Win Over '3B Men Juniors Capture Third Place With 21; '39 Men Get 9. By the slim margin of three points, the senior class nosed out the sopho mores to gain the inter-class wrest ling title at Recreation hull Saturday. Winning three bouts, the victors piled up a total of 27 points to the sopho more's 24. Third place honor-went to the juniors with 21, while the freshmen scored O. Four members of last year's unde feated team emerged the victors• in their respective classes. Sammy Wolf son, in the 118-pound class; Captain Jack Light, intercollegiate 115-pouni champion; Dick Waite. 145 pounds; and Joe OTowd, heavyweight, all came through and appear to be in excellent condition. The other 'Win ners were Ray Brooks, 126-pound class; .Tack Calvin, 155; Don Bachman, 165; and Ross Shaffer, 175. The most hard fought bout on the program was the Waite-Zazei encoun ter. Both won easily in the semi finals and so were fresh for the final. The lead rocketed back and forth for the first few minutes of the bout, but slowly it became apparent that the more experienced Waite could hold off the aggressive freshman star of a year ago. Waite won by a time ad vantage of 4:25. Concerning this bout, Coach Charlie Speidel said: "This was one of the most exciting and cleverest wrestling matches I've seen this year. Now I have a great problem on my hands; two of my best wrestlers arc in the same class, and I would hate to - see either one of them sitting on the bench. I'll have to do some shifting somewhere." One of the developments of this tournament lies in the great number of falls that occurred. In the semi finals, 12 matches were won by falls, while only four were,gained by a time advantage. In the finals, five match es were won by falls, three going via a time advantage. Only one freshman was able to gain one of 'the coveted championships. Don Bachman in the 165-pound class threw Marvin Herder, a senior, in 13:14. Great improvement was shown 'by Jack Calvin in the 155-pound weight and Ray Brooks, a sophomore, in the 126-pound class. Bob Rey nolds, another sophomore, showed - up well in the 115-pound class despite the fact that he lost to Captain Jack Light. Reynolds was fighting out.of his class, inasmuch as he usually ap pears in 126-pound event.

IWomen in Sports By REGINA RYAN After winning the baseball, basket ball end hockey championships, since they entered the sports field in then• freshman year, the present juniors are as good no crowned the basketball champions for this year, unless this season turns out to be a story with a surprise ending. Beating all opposing teams in the series of interclass basketball games, so far this year, the '37 squad trim med the sophomores by a 30-to-1 score at the ArmOry, Thursday night. As the basketball season progresses the job of picking the varsity team, :rom the squad of 15 girls who turn out for each game, grows more diffi cult. StimOlated by the apparent suc cess of the .season each individual girl plays a top notch game—congrat ulations. Black and blue must be the theme song of the sophomore basketball team according to the scores register• ed in the final quarters of the games, the second yearlings have partici pated in this year. After painting the bruises received in the 30-to-12 battle the juniors wag ed against them, the sophomores limped onto the floor to take a 36-to -1 trimming from the seniors, who showed no mercy. Hold your breath the worst is yet to come—the fresh man squad chalked up 35 points to the sad looking 9 scored by the sophomores when both teams met. Although the basketball season is about half over• if the second year women concentrate on their' practice, they might find, their scores will tend to improve. • Freshmen and senior basketball class teams will meet in the Armory, Tuesday night at 9 o'clock. Sopho mores will play the seniors and the freshmen will meet the juniors, Wed nesday night ut 7 and 8:30 o'clock respectively. • Women interested in going out for class swimming managers are urged to sign up on Mac Hall bulletin board.

By 808 GRUBB 'As 'the 'date of the. opening: meet of: the current season approaches Coach Leo. Houck.is beginning to sur vey his material with a. more critical eye with a view to determining the eight Lion ringmen who will meet I the Western Maryland boxers' here a week from Saturday. The unlimited and 115-pound class es ;will present no difficulty, Izzy Richter holding forth in the former, while Captain Russ Criswell is un disputed occupant of. the bantam weight place. Out of the thirty some ring aspir ants who are going through their paces daily in Ree hall, seven arc con sidered as possible contenders for the 175-pound class. Four seniors, John Sawchak, Bill Cooper, Clyde Ander son, and Dick Livermore; two jun iors, "Whitey? Rhoda and Mart Wer ner; and a sophomore, John Kapitula, are out for berths in thelight heavy weight class. In the middleweight division, Fred die O'Neill is 'regarded as the most likely .contender. Others are Johnny Beall, a senior, and Heber Leosig and Charles Teller, sophoniores. In the 151-pound class, which seems to be sewed up in Lou Ritzie, inter collegiate champ, are Tom Campion . , a sophomore, Joe Korsak, Eddie Foehr, and Jack Blades, sophomores. Likewise, the junior welterweight 'division seems to be sewed up in Sam my Donato, a sophomore. Others in clude Dick Flenniken and George .Jenks, seniors, and Eddie Ricketts, junior. Frankie Goodman leads the light weight field which is represented by !Phil Reece, a junior; Elwood Vander slice, a senior; and Otto Rintye and Joe Schwartz, sophomores. In the 125-pound division, Bob Do 'nuto seems most, likely. Francis Mc- Andrews. will probably box in this class this season, but has not yet re turned from practice teaching in Haz leton. Johnne Rosana, a junior, and Gil Ilixon and Dick Shaw, sopho mores, arc also aspirants. Soccer Team Denied Eastern Championship (Continued from Page Onc) and- the selection of the champion should be simplified., Because of the fact that many schools have few or no opponents - in collision, the selec tion of the champion each year is a difficult task. To mike it more so, it is done by a Meeting , of managers two months after the season close.; and thus becomes an award. • A play-off system between out standing contenders is one logical method of determining champion ships, but at all odds the records should speak for themselves and such a thing should not be left to the mer cies of .group whose abilities to judge such mutters are 'at times de fieient, in the opinion of those in par ticular that hove been denied whi:i Lion Baslieteers To Meet Syracuse in Recreation Hall Tomorrow Night at 7 Navy Defeats Nittany ' Passers in Last 11 Minutes. By DICK LEWIS Back from a 76-to-30 defeat at the hands of the Naval AcedeMy's quin tet, the, Lion basketeers step into the white lines of Recreation hall with a gigantic undefeated Syracuse five to morrow night at 7 o'clock. The Orange team sets out for State College undefeated in seven games this season, one of the 'most powerful quintetg Lions will face this year. Orangemen Defeated Starting early in the season, the big Orange team defeated Alfred Univer sity 3340-31. They brought to Penn its first defeat of the year, dropping the Red and Bllie passers 39-to-30. They anihilated Harvard AO-to-20, swamped Princeton 55-to-30, took Michigan State .College, nemesis of middle west basket competition, 38-to -34, and flattened Cornell 47-to-32. They come to State' College unde feated, with' an impressive slate of victories that might well put the odds out of town. In view of our 1000 per cent average in not predicting any thing, we prophesy nothing for tomor row night in the way of victory or defeat. But we can say with some de gree of certainty that it will be as titanic a struggle as• any ever 'wit nessed on the home court. . Looking Over the Opposition When three or four taxi cabs roll into State College tomorrow bearing the heaviest, the biggest, and the toughest opposition State has en countered up to date, an' experienced Lion team will be ready to repair last year's defeat of .17-to-34. Tomorrow night there will be another Lion team on the floor, and one which will give the invaders the stiffest opposition this side of the state line. Captained by Marcel Guley, veteran forward, the Syracuse crowd looks powerful. Guley is fast, a capable floor leader, but has been handicap ped this year by illness. Oliver Scott. senior' guard and center rises 6 feet 2 inches, from the floor, and is listed as a great defense player. Making Scott look like a pygmy in compari son is Edward Sonderman, junior cen ter, who stretches 6 feet 6 from floor up.. He is,supposed to bet the tip-off And Ralph Balinsky, junior guard is marked up as a dead shot.-Joseph Minsavage,' junior guard,, tops 6 feet a, Ralph ,Nittinger, junior guard or forward, 6 feet 2; John Gorecki, sophOmore forward, 6 feet; Jack Cur ran, sophomore guard, feet 2; Nor man Leavitt, sophomore' forward, capable set shot; Adam Markowski. sophomore forward; Victor Baylock, sophomore guard, 6 feet; and last but not little, is William Stench, sophomore center at 6 feet 5. They grow them large in New York hills; only six out of fourteen men on the Orange varsity are under six -feet. It will be a new high in basketball ! competition - for State. A Naval Victory And Saturday night before 3,000 gaping spectators, a' Lion' team cruis ed gallantly to defeat, as a hardwork ing midshipman crew pulled to vic tory in the last eleven minutes, after the score had been tied five times and : snitched with every minute- of the game. Navy's victory over the Nittany men was accounted for by free throws. Both Navy and State Mach: fifteen field goals, with the midship men frustrated on fifty-three tries and the Lions failing forty-nine times. The Lions missed six out of six free tosses; Navy converted six out of eight into a victory. Kornick Scores Highest High score• for State was Mike Kornick, who alternated at guard and forward. Midshipman "Tiny" Lynch, Navy's top man, led his team with fifteen points. Bar Riley; who net ted high against, Penn, pocketed 6 points for the Lions, while Jim Smith, Peterson, and Proksa each accounted for 4 points. Navy lifted anchor first soon after the opening whistle when Schneider, midship Man forward, plunked a char ity toss between the cords. Lynch then potted a field goal, for three points. The Lions got to work. Field goals, followed by Jim Smith and Proksa, before Lynch slapped a field goal and a foul into the bucket to make things look like G-to-U. The score rose: S-(,1• they feel has been coming to them. No particular changes in the play ing rules are being contemplated, ac co•ding to Neil M. Fleming, graduate manager of athletics and a member of the national rules committee. Mr. Fleming and Director Hugo Dezdek, of the School of Physical Education. represented Penn State at - the meet ing. Alvin S. 'Newmeyer , '37, who will manage the team- this fall, will be a Member of the 'executive com mittee of undergraduate managers to draw up recommendations at the meeting in January, 1937. His. ap pointment to this important commit tee has been viewed in some quarfeis as an attempt to make amends for the 'way in which State was denied any. .consideration this year in con nection with' the champion Ship. Oh: well. Tuesday, Januaiy 14, 193 G 8, 1.2-10-1.3 for Navy, 14-to-13 for State, and 1.8-to-18 when the half ended in favor of the middies.' Kornick put the Lions ahead as the second half opened with a field goal. Fellows; Naval guard; and Schneider, forward, arched four , more points; then Riley tossed two. More through the loop to put State one mark in ar rears. Lynch and McFarland brought Navy into open Water. ,with . three more points. But Jim Smith - and Sol Miehoff caught up a, basket apiece to tic the score 26-to-i.6. With twelve minutes left: to play, Herb Peterson, guard, scored 'a field goal to put the Nittany quint ahead. Schneider tied it with eleven anti-' sites to go. In the next two minutes, both teams wrestled under the bas kets while 3,000 people arose and waited. McFarland and Ingram fie sally broke the deadlock - to bring the, Navy score- up to , 36 points.' Tw . g seconds before the game ended, Peter son netted State's last basket to'pui. 30 points on the Lion scoreboard. . And into the Lion's' maw rolls Syracuse. Navy Spiked ;G: .‘ F. V.
