Bull-Session
It says "Absolutely No Loafing"
In the place, but either the old.
Inners who hang around can't read
or hitimy the Greek doesn't give
a damn.
At least it seemed that way
when I walked in for a shine yes
terday afternoon The place was
thick with smoke—so thick that
almost muffled the conglomerate'
bun of conversation that came
from one corner of the long room
I was hardly more than seated.
when a stocky, middle-aged man
appealed from behind the smoke
screen He nodded casually, kept
on savaging the end of his stubby
cigar and went to work without a
-word
I spoke. The man smeared on
a Mlle more polish, rubbed one
shoe briskly add then said:
"Yea, I'M Jimmy the Greek
What canna do for you" Sure,
I'll answer 'em if I can . Yea,
I've been here for nearly 20 years
Boxing and wrestling"
Well, I've seen almost every match
up here since 1021"
By this time a couple of the
boys in the corner had drifted
over and the two-man conversa
tion between the Greek and I soon
grew into an unquestionably sin
cere bull-session
"That's prPtty tough to say," the
Greek shrugged. "Let's see now,
there was Al Tapman He was
plenty good ... So was Roy Han
na ... My guess would be Sammy
Donato ... That right. I think he's
the best boxer Leo's had since Sil
ly Soose ...
"Now you're puttur me on the
spot," the Greek protested "Why
don'tcha ask a few of the boys
here 9"
The old timers were slow to re
spond, but finally, alter no little
dilly-dallying, agreed that `I was
really a harmless creature and not
a special secret agent to Senator
Martin Dies They would answer
my questions
To save hme,.l have listed ,
low, iti'Very neat
,order, the' re.
suit of my hastily conducted poll
-,among the little grOup of old
timers: ",k4
1. Penn State will win the
boxing intercollegiates;this year
2 , Opinion was divided over
the wrestling honors. A-few said
State. The rest said Lehigh.
3. Neither team is as strong
this year as it was in 1936 when
Penn State won both eastern in-
tercollegiate crowns. '
4 Leo Houck and Charlie
Speidel are "miracle men" who
have ,proved beyond a shadow
'of a doubt that "You CAN make
a race horse out of a jackass."
S It's a dirty, rotten shame
that boxing and wrestling can
didates aren't given some slight
degree_of financial aid, even if
ifs only a part-time kitchen job.
, As I left the stuffy little room,
one of the old-timers stopped me
by the door and asked, "Say, why
don'tcha do something about re
viving that- there eastern basket
ball league? Basketball List ain't
basketball in this town unless you
got - somethin' tefight ter Now is

Cagers To Baffle
Colgate, Syracuse
Basketeers Away
Nittany Courtmen Lose
To NYU Machine, 35.29
By BILL FOWLER
"The boys tried hard—perhaps
a little too hard And from dow
on the going looks plenty tough "
Thus Coach John Lawther sum-'
Med up the 29-35 Nittany loss , to,
New York University's undefeated
cage machine Wednesday night
and looked forward to battles with
Colgate and Syracuse this week
end
The Lions left, yesterday for
Hamilton, N. Y, where they will
tangle with Colgate_ tonight Sat
urday they will attempt to gain re
venge for the 27-24 defeat' the Or
ange administered in Rec Hall on
January 17.
Both teams will undoubtedly
provide warm receptiohs ort their
home courts for the local basket
bailers Colgate lost by one point
to Syracuse' early in the season,
and bowed to NYU, 45-36, after
leading at the half Syracuse's
Paul Kartluke, Gene Berger and
Captain Dick Jensen showed plen
ty of stuff as they paced the sec
ond-half rally which conquered
the Nittany outfit last month.
Cl=
A valiant effort the local cagers
made against the high-geared Vio
lets Wednesday night—but the
stakes proved a little too high
After holding the "point-a-minute"
invaders on even terms and tying
the count at 21-all midway in the
second half, the Nittanymen fal
tered when the pressure was on
and succumbed to the New York
onslaught '
NYU Jumped to an early lead on
a foul and' buckets by Ed Stevens
and Mort Lazar, but Johnny Barr's
two fouls and overhead heave plus
Dick Grimes' fOul tied the score
at 5-5 In a furious up-and-dot/tit
the-floor battle the lightning Vio
let quintet gradually edged away
to - a 49-14 lead',at-lhe - halfst% - ;7 -
, A capacity crowd . went 'roaring
mad as Dick Grimes marked up
five successive points to deadlock
the count at 21-all in the second
half But the Violet teal kept cool
and quickly regained the lead as.
Captain Bob Lewis tossed in a
swisher 'The locals had shot•their
bolt, and they proceeded tb muff
scoring opportunities as NYU's
fast-breaking offense chalked up a
safe lead
Features of the battle were the
phenomenal distance shooting and
beautiful passing plays of the vis
itors, the- magnificent defense of
the Lions, and the all-around ex
cellence of Johnny Barr. Barr,
bounding around like a panther,
was the spearhead of the Lion
„team and topped the evening's
scoring with 12 points Elmer
Gross played a' nice defensive
game
Ed Stevens paced the Violet
scoring with 11 points Al Lazar
and Captain Bob Lewis did' some
sensational long-distance shooting,
