Page 4 NEW 'CttLEGE DINER A Letter From Elliott Sports Editor's Note: From his sick beds, in the College In firmary, Warren Elliott has written me. two letters, one ex• plaming the other. In Ms first letter Elliott wrote of the many little kindnesses 'done for him by student friends and. acquaintances, f acuity members, and townspeople. He wrote of visits by Prexy Helsel. Dean Schott, Charlie Speidel Deal. Bob We've seen Penn State spirit, we've all dealt with it in various forms. We've seen ratty's, bonfires, parades and other such tarigible goings-on. We've all heard of another kind—that spirit behind the scenes, like that which was evidenced when Whitey Rhoda was injured. Not until this injury of mine did I come to realize, however, that this same behind.the.scenes spirit actually existed. Bob, have you ever been down, troubled, needed help? Have you evei laid in bed' wondering "Why?" Then, suddenly, team-- mates, faculty members, friends and just acquaintances come _from all over the campus to help .. not for what they can get out of it, not for a personality, but for a fellow student. Well, that's what has happened here since Saturday. It's not new 'lt has happened countless other times before What I'm try ing td say, Bob, is that here's the real Penn State A smile, a handshake, a word—a deed! That's the real Penn. State. But what has all this to do with a sports column 9 Just this— The buildings are here, the athletics, the president, the faculty, the activities But what makes it all live I'll tell you what—it's the true sportsmanship of our fellow students True sportsmanship—an intangible thing that nothing can change. It's something that runs far deeper than the foundations of Old Main—a something that if present today in Europe would go a long, way, if not all the way, to solving the worlds ills=a spirit that makes our College the fine place that it is So thank them all Bob, everyone, for all they've done for me in ' the last few days—Little things (so numerous that it stirs me to think - of them) that can never be repaid But thank them most of all for keeping the true spirit or Our great College alive Swimmers Face Temple, Rutgers 15 Take Weekend Trip Coach Sees .Tough Going Fifteen •varsdy swimmers -left State - College-yesterday orran Basle' em week-end jaunt during which. ,they will face an. enigrnitic Temple .team. at LAs p m today, .and, a concededly powerful Rutgers tank aggregation tomorrow afternoon Coach Bob Galbraith, a past master of judging his future op ponents, is none too optui - ustic about the results of "the double header Re gives his swimmers a. fifty-fifty chance - to take the Tem ple tilt, only an outside chance against Rutgers The men who will start are Delman= and Reissman, in the 220 and 440, McLaughlin and Price, divers, Mutts, and Boileau or Pol lock, breasistrokers;, Vinzant, Boi leau, and Robinson in the medley, Kirkpatrick, Marcus, and Bogatin, in. the 50 and. 100, and .Webb, Bo gatin, Robinson, and Kirkpatrick in the freestyle relay. Ten mining•engineermg students have been sent to the University of ,Pattsburgh by the government of Turkey PEI`M . STAZO, POLIS'CIiAIi and countless others. He wrote of phone calls, telegrams, maga zines, milk shakes, ice cream and what the big man modestly classifies as "all and more than anyone ever deserved." "Bob," the letter said. "It darned near pulled my heart apart. It's Penn State you can't beat Mil" , .. His second letter—well, that's for you and everybody else to read.
