Tuesday, November 24, 1936 BETWEEN THE LIONS By 808 GRUBB Post Mortem: And another season goes down on the books. Successful? Yes, we feel that way about it, even, though in years to come the 193 G football sea son will reveal itself as a medicore one in the records with, but three vic tories against five losses. Those of us who are not too statistically-minded have every reason to feel proud of the Nittany Lion's gridiron accomplish ments during the past eight weeks. Only blot on the record was the Lehigh game, a time when the Lions were inglorious in defeat. But the clawing, scratching, rag ing Lion that went down to defeat before Cornell, Pitt and Penn and then came back still victory-hun gry to finish the season by beat ing Bucknell surely is deserving of praise. ' Numerous questions come lip at this time. Several important ones in volve the center position. Who will fill Captain Chuck Cherundolo’s shoes next year? What will Cherundolo be doing next year*. Coach Bob Higgins answers the first one by referring to Briggs, a freshman who ?■ was hurt •early in the season. And tthen there is Tor Toretti, who may be .shifted from guard to the snapper-back post. Dud Enders, who was Cherondolo’s understudy this’ year may be back; then again, he may not. Higgins is not counting on him. While Chuck Cherundolo would have no trouble finding on a pro club,, his aspirations are in other directions. He's going, to try to land a coaching job first. If that fails through, he may consider some of the pro ofTers. Incidentally, that was a great show of appreciation which the Lions gave to their captain after the game on Saturday.* We had always thought carrying the hero off the field was high school stuff, but it certainly didn’t seem that way Sat urday and nobody seemed to think it was out of place. Besides Cherundolo, Ends, Frank Smith, and Bob Morini and . Backs, Red O’Hora, Art Yett and Tommy Silvano finished their football careers in the proverbial blaze of glory. Red O’Hora turned in his greatest per formance of the season in the opinion of many. And Art Yett, who has spent' most of his four years on the bench,: gave us a last-minute thrill when he intercepted a pass and got away for a good gain. Gloves ...

Olexy Ele Maule Chosen Plebe Leader For ’36 Year Olexy Still Undefeated In Dual Competition Of 3 Seasons By WOODROW W. BIERLY Pete Olexy was elected cnptnin of the 3937 cross-country team and Frank Maule was chosen honorary captain of this year’s freshman squad at a dinner held at the Dean Ralph L. Watts lodge on Thursday night. Olexy succeeds Howard Downey. By winning first place in every dual meet he entered since coming to Penn State, Olexy has placed-himself among the host Lion runners. His record for this season is outstanding. Competing -against the foremost run ners in the East in the IC4-A meet last Monday, Olexy won second place. This was the best race of his career, although he finished in the lead against the strong Manhattan team on October 24. Last year he won four dual meets and placed 21st in : the intercollegiates, his greatest race being'that at Yale. * Starred as a Freshman During his freshman career, Olexy paced the runners of Pitt, Syracuse, and Cornell. He met his toughest competition against the Big Red that year when he defeated Herb Cornell, who later won the 3000 meter cham pionship in the IC4-A track meet. Olexy won. by eight seconds. Cornell placed eighth in the cross-country in tercollegiates this year. In the freshman intercollegiates, Olexy placed third with a time of 15:46, while the Lions rated seventh. He ran a beautiful race, always with in striking distance of the winner, but was defeated by Sharp of Colum bia and Williamson of Lafayette by a few seconds. Ran in Poland in 1934 During the summer of 1934, Olexy was elected to the Polish-American Olympic track team and ran at the International games at Warsaw, Po land. In trying out for the Olympic games, he reached the semi-finals.

The weigh-in will not be held until after the Thanksgiv ing holidays. In order to give the entire stu dent body a better opportunity in the handball tourney, the Intra mural board has decided to run two classes, A and B. The A class will include 'eight or ten of the leading players in College. While in high school, Olexy was captain of the cross-country, track, and basketball teams.* In 1932 he placed third in the National Inter scholastic competition and the follow ing year won second place. He was chosen by 11. Bruce Anson, chairman of the Olympic distance runners and coach of the Olympic marathon run ners for the All-American Interscho lastic cross-country team.

Gilbert, assistant t 6 the graduate manager of athletics, Wil liam J. Miller, of the School of Phys ical Education, and William- C Smith ’37, track manager. Glasser Finds Bar Men Good “Our strongest piece of apparatus,” was the way in which Coach Julian Glasser expressed himself concerning the parallel bars, when asked how things are shaping up for the gym team, now that the squad has been working out for over a month. A nip and tuck battle is being waged for the number one spot on the parallel bars between Sam Beck, a holdover from last year, and Ray Runkle, a very, promising sophomore. Both Runkle and Beck also compete on the horizontal bar and the rings. Those fighting it out for the num ber three position are Kligman, Close, and Mashey. Kligman, who is a sophomore, can compete in every event except the ropes, and at pres ent is leader for the number three spot. ICE SKATES HOLLOW GROUND SCHILLING FRATERNITIES!

The less skilled and be ginning players will be grouped in one class, while the more experienced will play stifl'er opposition. Winners will be given awards, in. each of the two classes. Delta Theta Sigma won the horse shoe pitching contest with Frederic Hill and Reuben Hixson competing for the winners. Alpha Gamma Rho were the losers in the two games by 21-to-16,s and 21-to-12 scores. Hugh Watts and Carl Witmcr were the los ing contestants. Swimmers Use Speedier Turn Introducing a new type of turn, Coach Bob Galbraith today is striv ing for speed in this vital factor of racing. The new turn, a back flip just as the-swimmer touches the side, is said to have the advantage of speed over the conventional side turn. To be of any value, however, perfection is absolutely necessary. Entering their fourth week of practice, the tankers were sprinting for short distances to develop speed in starts and turns. From the pres ent list of eleven sprinters, “Gal” hopes to find eight who can stand up in intefcollegiate competition. Bunk and Welsh, two sophomore stars, ap pear to have clinched at least two of the positions while Cumming and Burleigh are certain of similar start ing positions that they held last year. The present squad now includes A 1 Bechtel, Frank Vloseac, Ray Keefer, Bob Brown, Henry Quick, Bill Walk er, Jimmie Cumming, Haugh, Weis, Lehman, and Taylor in the sprints; Geiger, Bob Bailey, Cumming, and Henderson in the back stroke; Bunk, WeUh, Srown, Holdrcn, and Lehman in the distance; Burleigh, Oliver, and Mamolen in the breast stroke; and Rector, Hoy, Hart, and Parks, who will dive. ' Penn State’s winter sports teams will go through December in prepara tion for the openings of' the season in January. Lion Five Wins First Scrimmage Athletes From Other Sports Join Team For Practice Penn State’s basketeers easily ran through a weak Indiana Cardinal “pro” team in a pre-season scrim mage Saturday afternoon in Rec hall. The Lion dribblers piled up 35 points to the Cardinals’ 18, with Co-captain Mike Kornick, Jack Reichenbaeh, Charles Prosser, and Max Corbin sharing scoring honors. The incomplete Lion squad has been working for several weeks under their new mentor, John Lawther, whose ten-year record of IG7 wins and only thirty-five losses at West minster College is unequalled. Smith, MiehofT Return Frank Smith, co-captain of basket ball, played his last game as end on the football team against Bucknell last Saturday and will join the squad shortly. With the close of the soccer season, Coach Lawther will gain an other valuable player, Sol Mfehoff, high scorer on the basketball team last year and outstanding inside left on the soccer team. Other football players who will turn out for the court team are Harry Harrison, Alf Lang, Sever Toretti, Windy Wear, and Ott Wuenschel. Seventeen games are scheduled for the Lions in their second year in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball Conference. In addition to the ten conference games played on a horne and-home basis with Temple, Pitt, Georgetown, West Virginia, and Car negie Tech, the courtmen have seven non-league contests with Penn, Yale, Navy, Syracuse, Lafayette, Bucknell, and Susquehanna.
