it Thu nun stepped out ot the shower, dried himself off bnshly and
slipped into a pan of shol ts
Then he sat down, picked up one sock and said "Yes, Robbie, I
think tlieie is somethin!' we call do about it ”
I 1 hod just asked him what, if anything could be done to cuie Penn |
state boxing fans of then bloody lust for sudden-death boxing
The Mori-Kerns Incident
!' His little finger was probing his right car, “You see, Robbie, Penn
State boxing fans don’t seem to realize that-the bouts*they see-up here
aren’t of a professional nature They're not supposed to be
i» “Sure, c\eiybody likes a good fight," he went on But up here
they can't quite understand why we stop a fight when neither of the
men in the ling seems hurt or even tired"
r‘ “Take that Mori-Kerns bout There’s, an excellent example of just
what I mean It wus clearly evident to those of us at the ringside
that Kerns was dropped by Mon on a clean, hard right-hand blow to
the head But he (Kerns) jumped up right away, shook his head once
or twice and looked almost as fresh as when he started the lound
JVhen wc stopped the bout, the fans booed and hissed, little realizing
that Ker/ns might have been hurt"
Ker'ns May Have Been Hurt
' » Tlie man finished tying his shoes and got up to get his shirt He
turned and added* “Had wc allowed that bout to continue, things might
hu\e turned out all right But m college boxing it doesn't pay to
take chances
l* / “Keins was a little befogged when he got up after that knockdown,
and he may have been hurt seriously liad the bout gone on ”
Th man slipped into his trousers and started to put on his necktie.
He thought a minute and then said* “Say, Robbie, maybe if you tell
'em the story of Ernie Sthaaf you con get the idea across that knock
'eUfrlown-and-drag-cm-out boxing has no place in the mteicollcglatc
\Sciiaaf Almost Had To Die -
t He straightened the knot in his tie. “You remember the Sthoaf
* Camei a fight, don'tcha 7 Schaaf was knocked out by Camera and
•died-about two days aftei, the fight At the time of the fight cvery
■Jbody thought Schaaf took a dive When the fight was stopped, cvery-
Jbody booed—just like up here after the'Mon-Kerns bout
- ‘“Robbie," the man went on. “Schaaf almost HAD to die to piove
'to those people that he hadn't quit against Camera "
The man put on lus coat “Schaaf went into that fight a sick
' JR2.fi»” Tic said “He had taken a terrific beating from Max Baer the
■Tight bcfoie The mauling he took from Camera only finished the job
Baei had stalled He died of a blood clot in the brain
Same Thing Could Happen Here
“If it weic up to the fans, Robbie, the same thing could easily
•happen here," the man continued. “But wc won't let it The kids who
'box foi me aic doing it foi the sheer sport of boxing and for the fun
-they get out of it So, you sec, we can’t take chances with them ”
The man pulled on an old brown topcoat, adjusted his battered
• green hat and started foi the door
*. “So when you wntc that column, Robbie,” the man added, “Just
among--yoinvreadeiS to do one thing when thej’ie
watching the vaisity matches this season”
>Put Yourself in Loser's Shoes
' He paused a minute, then baid. “When the going gets’rough and
ftfugh between two contestants and the crowd begins to ‘yell-lustfully
ifor n bloodv kill by the man who is apparently' winning, tell ’em to
,ppt themselves m the place of ’the losing* boxer and then remember
Jwyat happened to Ernie Schaaf and many others like him. ~I think
will cuie then flair for sudden-death boxing"
, a. The man left the room I sat there alone for a moment wondenng
jif I could make this stoiy as impressive for my readers as Leo Houck

Puts Lion Five ‘ln Red[
Lawther Will Take Eleven Men On
Trip To Mt. Union, Akron, And Kent
“In the red” for 1939 by virtue of a 44-37 loss to Bucknell Sat
uiday, Penn State’s eagcrs will attempt to cany out three New Year’s
icsolutions promptly with the beginning of 1940.
Their icsolutions To.beat.Mt Union Januaiy 1, to beat Akron
January 2, and to beat Kent on Januaiy 3 /
■ *The eleven men who will make
the trip will be selected by Coach
Lawther after a scrimmage with
Lock Haven tonight. The squad
will return heie for practice Tues
day, December 26.
There were five good reasons for
the Bucknell tnumph—all of which
wore Orange and Back uniforms
and played practically the entire
game Most convincing of these
was one “Dead-eye” Nolan, sensa
tional forward, who piled up 18
points in a magnificent sharpshoot
ing exhibition ,
Tied Score 10 Times '
In a punch-packed, seesaw battle
which saw the score tied 10 times,
the fast-passing Bucknell band jput
on a last-period spurt to top a
stubborn Nittany outfit The locals,
showing their best form to date,
were handicapped by their old
, weakness—inability to hit the bas
ket. -a • w
Surprise of _ the , evening was
Captaip c CliffucMcWilliams, who
piled up 10 points before a sprain
ed ankle sent him to the showers.
Sharing scoring honors for the lo
cals was dependable Johnny Barr,
who, despite a recent flu attack,
was probably the best all-around
man on the floor'while in the game.

Dear Sii
In your editorial . you uccuse
Mr. Dies of making a Samson out
of an ant Are you not doing the
same.
You say yout opposition is moti
vated not by a fear of wbat may
be found, but by a fear of the sus
picion which such au investigation
would aiouse Is there not more
suspicion aroused in- the minds of
the American people by an un
willingness to be investigated 9 Ab
solutelyl
I say coopeiate wltii Mr Dies
ifelp him all we can don't start
by sowing the seeds of discontent
ahtong the American people ..
1 uccuse you of being a dictator

pot tor of the Collegian ... it re

tuge of your position In using the

PENN STStE COLLEGIAN
Collegian’s name, you might
just us well have sigued the name,
of every student on our campus
These ate the methods of the dic
tator if you write any more
letters, sign your own name first
and then, if you so wish; as
long a list of names as you can get
permission to use ■ -
Very Sinceiely Youis,
Stewait Gross.
NOTE* -1 on jjthe
basis iof its 13 points listed in /.to
day's issue,'leaves the verdict on
the feasibility of a Dies investiga
tion of colleges and universities n
the hands of Penn State students.
We are opposed to Dies and his
committee because of the ruthless
and bigoted tactics he has used- It
is HE who has sown the seeds* of
discontent. He alms to bring' his
un-American tactics to an investi
gation of our educational fnstltu
tions. ,
The Collegian has a trust to*p« p>
form. Its editorial policy
never hope to reflect the views of
ALL the students. On the basis of.
your reasoning, all Collegian; 1 edi
torials in the'future are to' be
signed only by those who are,in
accord with what the editorials
say. This was not a matter of a
mere tetter, it was an editorial—
an editorial written by a member
of a staff which is elected annually
—elected from and representative
of the majority of the student
, body. '1 \\ k
Yes, Mr. Gross, we have used the
name of the Collegian to 'lend
strength to our protest. What we
disagree on is* the validity * and
justifiability of that protest.
, We regret that we have offended
you, but really, we meant what-we
said and how we said iL— E R. '
