Friday, March 11), 19;ye au Between Thee Lioni Looking back over the winter sports season just brought to a .close we find an excellent opportunity for the use of superlatives. We distribute our orchids in this manner: Best ddvelopment of the season: Charlie Speidel's wrestling team which, after losing its. opening meet to Princeton, continued to show im provement meet after meet until it climaxed as most successful season by retaining its Eastern intercolleg iate title with a record score and an nexing five individual titles. Best winter sports 'record in many years: Leo llouck's Lion boxing team, undefeated in seven dual meets and runner up for the Eastern Inter collegiate title with its three individ ual champions. Most marked improvement over last year: Johnny Lawther's third-place Eastern Conference basketball team. They were in the loop-cellar last, year, losing all ten conferences games. By winning over half of the conference games in their first year under 'a new coach, they have proved conclusively that basketball is experiencing a New Deal at Penn State. Lowther lifted the cage sport out of its several years' slump just in time and the team's performance during the past season Capital—s2oo,ooo Surplus and Undivided Profits—s27s,ooo The First National Bank of State College STATE COLLEGE,' PA Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation John T.

Glennhand Pool F ‘TATiII By 808 GRUBB indicates an even better record for next year. Most welcome innovation: The ad vent of winter track and the showing of Chick Werner's entrants in the I.C. 14-A meet at Madison Square .Garden. With this year's extensive program, Chick has shown that track can oc cupy a position of all-year-round ac tivity: The showings of Olexy, Down en: Clark and the freshman medley relay team in the New 'York meet de serve :special locution. Most disappointing: Skiing. After working up much enthusiasm and ef fectively introducing this winter sport to Penn State last year, Max Derwin and his followers saw little opportun ity to' get any real workouts because of a light winter. Given the breaks on the weather next year, we see no rea son why this sport should not produce enough activity to warrant its accep tance as a varsity sport. Most consistent 'wrestler: Jack Light, who won few bouts by the Ifall route, but turned in one of the ibest records, and achieved the envi lable reputation of being one of the four EIWA contestants ever to win three battles. And speaking of wrest ling, we might pass orchids to Al Zazzi, who is reputed to know more holds than any other Lion grappler. Must consistent boxer: Frankie Goodman who. in spite of his poor showing at the beginning of the cur rent ring season, came through to re tain his eastern title and wind tip his college. boxing career with a record 'of 25 victories, :1 defeats and :3 draws. Another orchid in the boxing division I should go to Billy Soose, whose first year K.O. record will go unchallenged for a 'long, long time. Best retort to a heckler: When Box ing Manager Bob Mcquiston, - in ans wer to a Syracuse wiseacre's, "So that's Penn State sportsmanship," re marked, "Yeah, how did you recog nize it?" Most progress_ for a now-• sport: Bob Galbraith's swimming team for winning, two out of five meets against first class competition in it; second year. 7 V . , 'T,; , ;-4 I.'-.

When spring appeared to be here about two weeks ago, the hall players managed to get in two days out of doors. Snow, ice, and cold winds give no indications of a break. The Nittany nine, which was was among the leaders in the cast last year with' thirteen victories and four defeats, will be vithout the serv ices of four stars. Captain Pero Mill er and Joe Bielicki, center and right field aces; Red O'Hora, shortstop and one of the outstanding collegiate hit ! ters; and Bill Ford, giant pitcher who is now with the Boston Bees, are no longer with the batsmen. • Regulars who have returned in-I elude Co-captains Frank Smith and Mike Kornick as the first-string bat tery; pitchers Benny Simoncelli and John Bobo; Jack Jageman, catcher; Mel Vonarx, first base; Windy Wear, second base; - Johnny Waters, third base; and Sol Miehoff, left field; and Don Crossin, reserve fielder.

Mr. Howard Verifies the wisdom of this pref erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That's why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro tection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh_ irritants removed by the exclusive process "It's Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat. A Light Smoke 'lt's Toasted"—Your Throat . Protection rison, aspirants for the shortstop or third base posts; and Red Marlow, outfielder, are other sophomore var sity candidates. Transfer students who are now el igible to play are expected to bolster the entire nine. Leading these are Joe Adessa, southpaw outfielder; Ray Braise, another fly-chaser; and Jerry Van Wagner, pitcher. Van Wagner is recovering from a broken 'collar bone, and this still gives him sonic trouble. When it doesn't, he appears to be a leading thrower. 2 Students Injured Ernst G. Stern, German graduate student, and Arnold D. Cohen '39 were injured - when the motorcycle Stern was driving collided with a car near the Boalsburg ski track. Stern is being treated for a fractured arm in the Bellefonte hospital. Cohen was tut badly in the face but was able to return to State College.
