BETWEEN THE LIONS
The Boys Started A Great Program
But Forgot The Little Item of Space
With the appointment of Dr. Schott as Dean of the School of Physical
Education and Athletics, the administration and Board of Trustees empha
sized the fact that the College would maintain the same athletic policy as
established in 1930.
Under the 1930 set-up, interdolleg
secondary to an intramural program
tern of activities for all students was
supposedly set up.
Now, seven years rifler de-empha
sis, intramural athletics have be
come a joke, for the simple reason
that there is no space for proper ex
ecution of a fundamentally • sound
recreational program.
There are 1500 students listed for
spring intramural sports. It is im
possible for these activities to be con
ducted in a proper manner. The var
sity baseball team is on the diamOnd,
with the freshmen at the lower end;
football takes up the lighted field;
track and field monopolize New Bea
ver Field; the lacrosse and soccer
teams use part, of the golf course.
A possible spot for the playing of
"spring sports is the R.O.T.C. drill
field. But there has been no to-op
eration with ,those handling intro
murals by the department of grounds
and buildings.
If spring intramural sports condi
tions are bad, the winter set-up is
worse. Varsity teams use every
available corner of Recreation hall,
leaving no space for intramuralS
during regular plays periods. - And
if this is considered unfavorable for
ordinary athletes, it is still less-fav
orable for the varsity men.
'Over 200 wrestlers are'crowded on
mats meant for live or six; boxers
endanger their lives by working' out
under a beam within head distance;
gymnasts, who need the practice, are
forced from their corner by the base
ball team, which also needs early
practice; and the fencers are forced
to break building regulations which
forbid them use of corridors.
Locker conditions in Recreation
hall are deplorable for both winter
and spring use. They are under the
groitnd's surfacb,"Autting , out,.the'
. ,
best preventative of. disease; sun
light; one must cross a floor where
people walk with street shoes in or
der to reach dobbtful showers; the
famous "black hole" is situated be
tween a humid drying room and a
laboratory where anatomy students
work on cadavers.
And the latest cry is the forma
tion of .a 150-pound football team,
which looks like a sure thing. It
seems queer that such a sport could
he organized when the authorities
can't properly equip the freshman
football team. And where will the
150-pound outfit work out?
Just what, the solution may be is
hard to say. It seems rather hypo
critical for the authorities to. yell
about the great intramural program
without providing sufficient room
and ample equipment that is abso
lutely necessary for these things to
be in existence under the present
code.
It is hoped the administration will
unite with Dr. Schott to iron out
present unfavorablo Conditions.

Late Attack Features
State Win; Hoft,
Conley Star
Scoring five goals in the last four
minutes of the third quarter, Penn
State's ladirpssers defeated Pennsyl
vania 6-4 on New Beaver field Satur
day afternoon.
. Captain Conley and Jake Holt led
the Lion attack with two goals each.
Maksick, Penn goal-tender, used his
body to good advantage in halting
IState's scoring threats, before Con
hey shot the ball past him in the last
I minute of the first half to match Pan
zer's goal scored in the first quarter
and even the count at the half, 1-1.
The Lions started a scoring spree
late in the third quarter when Buser
screened a shot for Hoft. Then, in
rapid succession, Conley slammed a
hard shot past Kaksik, followed im
mediately by Simpson's goal. Maksick
was replaced by Klein when Hoft
scored his second point in as many
minutes. Cohn greeted the new goalie
by slipping the ball into the net from
the side to end the quarter and State's
scoring for the day.
The Quakers came to life in the last
quarter and staged a rally•that fell
short by two goals. Dolman, Halstead,
and Nye each tallied once for the vis
itors while State was unable to pene
trate their defense.
Frenchy Julian, the "acrobatic of
ficial," considered the best lacrosse re 7
levee in the game, added color to Sat
urday's contest. He shouted every
penalty given out at the top of his
voice, leaving no doubt in the minds of
any of the players as to why he called
a foul. On one play, when a player
slashed, French) , yelled, "You took
a chance and you lost. One minute."
It doesn't pay for a player to dispute
a foul called on .him by Julian because
he would rather slap another minute
to the penalty than argue.—S.S.S.
Golfers Win Practice

Hills Country Club, the Penn State
golf team came through with a per
fect score, trouncing Centre Hills by

Three Quartets Take Places
In Pennsylvania Relay Races
Outclassed by top-notch competi
tion but nevertheless showing im
provement over last year's perform
ances, Coach Werner's relay teams
wen three third places in the Penn
Relays at Philadelphia on Friday and
Saturday. Bob Clark, uj) and coming
1 pole vaulter, also set a new record
for himself as he cleared 13 feet to
win fourth place.
Considered a sure bet to win by
most of the spectators, State's shut
tle hurdle relay team failed in the
final and finished third. Thompson,
Frazier, Redmond, and Bauer coo-'I
posed State's team.
The distance quartet Composed of
Downey, Aikman, Henderson, and
(Nev. accounted for the other two
third places. Downey ran one of the
fastest quarter-miles of the two-day
carnival, but the other men couldn't
match the pace set by the Indiana
team, which went on to equal the !
world's record.
On Saturday the same Indiana team'
came back and this time broke the
world's record for the four-mile relay
race. The old record had been held
by such a famous group of runners
as Hornbostel, San Romani, Venzke,
and Cunningham. Pete Olesy ran the
anchor leg for State and heat out Mo
clair, of Manhattan, for the place.
A new ruling robbed Clark of a tie
for second in the pole vault. The oth
er two Men who cleared 13 feet made
the height on their first or second
jump. Clark got over on his third,
try. Jim Redmond scored State's.oth
er place when he tied for fourth in
the high jump.
