The Lions
By HERB CAHAN
Sports Editor
This past weekend—Just about
at the end of the "dull" season in
sports—was probably one of the
most newsworthy and active peri
ods in the'past fen years. Beside
the numerous victories chalked up
by Nlttany Lion., teams, there were
developments in intercollegiate
circles that affect Penn State
sports, present and future, very
materially
The most gratifylng — tiEcurrence
of the Eastern Intercollegiate As
sociation meetings In Nev. York
was the naming of Penn State as
the homer champions of the East
—4t glowing tribute to Bill Jeffrey's
coaching, long overdue
We have already sounded our
congratulations to Bill and hia
hooters for their sixth consecutive
undefeated season, little can , be
added to the symbolic presenta
tion of the trophy to the UNDIS•
VOTED SOCCER CHAMPIONS
of the East'
Then there was that meeting
of the Eastern Basketball Confer
ence, featuring Pitt's - resignation
—to ,take effect next season Al
though it was tabled for future
consideration, the outcome seems
apparent—Pitt will not. be in the
league next year
. _
It has also been suggested that
o ith the Panthers' oithdran al
Penn State o ill follow, nith the
possible disintegration of the
league
Non, there is no mistaking that
Pitt's reasons are rather nell
founded scheduling difficulties
I and travelling inconveniences pre
sent a difficult problem
Pltt's resignation may weaken
the highly , competitive standing of
the circuit—but, aren't there °ther
equally strong basketball schools
who would welcome' a chance to
Join the league ,
The Eastern Basketball Confer
ence has hunt up an ens table
reputation in collegiate court
Oldies, and Penn State is non ,
basking' in the nuiespread publi
city being accorded this league all
over the ( feints The Conference
Is undoubtedly one of the nation's
[
toughest—glance over the records
of the member teams—even es
chiding PittlftLeharter_member )
i—as fat
The important alieetion
N% e are concerned—ls Should
Penn State follow Plit's example,
and offer Its resignation froin the
Pastern ConTerenee"
(College authoi hies, as hell as the
Collegial, a ould Me to henr stu
den t ' , reaction )
:With the coming of John Low
ther, two years ago, and Penn
Slate's entrance into the Confer
ence the preceding year, interest
In basketball boomed to a new
high—and, ,undoubtedly, it is non
the most popular winter sport.
What creates so much interest
In the sport is the fact that by
being a member of a league there
Is a definite goal in 'winning ball
games Whereas, if we compete
independently, there is only the
immediate contest ip question
There is something to "bite"
into when your team is named the
Conference champion
Here is our stand—Penn State
should NOT withdraw from the
Eastern • Basketball Conference,
UNLESS It can better itself ath
letically by becoming affiliated
with another established or newly
formed basketball league of top
notch basketball rating
