Between The Lions
With DICK PETERS
Dear Bob:
Thanks foi your advice in Tuesday's issue nr admit I was a lit
tle seared with the thought of having to turn out my first Between
-The Lions today, but your gland finale gave me inspiration for this
initial step, No kidding, Bob, I feel like a day-old colt turned loose
in the Chicago stockyards " My typewriter keys 'seem a - little wobbly
arid rubbery; but I imagine all Collegian sports editors have felt the
same_way then first time out
You said BTL is a tough row to hoe. I believe that. You said
sports readers are the most tickle people in the world. I believe that.
I'm going to follow. your advice—most of it.
No More Disdainfulness
i .
You advised me never to be disdainful about football, it coaches,
or its players That, I will not be, Bob Nor about any other sport
for that matter Penn State athletics and Penn State coaching staffs
are as much a part of this College as the chimes ,are to Old Main or
George Donovan is to Student Union But if ever anything is hay
wire in any other part of Penn State, the Collegian may criticise
' Why not the same for sports—if sucheriticisin .ia Justifiable and
well-directed to aid in the material betterment of Penn State's ath
letics? But I will not bet disdainful, Bob.
' -
No Sahib Smailliw This Year -
You wain me against making my own pi edictions on athletic events
You advise me to get a Sahib Smallliw to take the rap. I think I'll
take the'rap myself After all, Bob, if I let the Sahib make the pie
dictions and put Ahem in BTL, the complaint comes back at me any-
way r
Understand, Bob,' I am not being resentful of your advice, nor
adopting a supei ior, attitude, because I am 'not in a position at this
time .to take on a superiority complex. Collegian spats editors in
their first BTL Seldom suffer hom supelimity complexes, I unagine
In reality, I'm only piesenting my platform, of policy, to those who
will read BTL in the coming year II hope/ I want it understood that
I am not goingsto be soft-spoken if such an occasion arises which
calls for strong language But I pledge not to go off three-quat let s
cocked There'll be rhyme and' ieasoni behind any critical com
ment made in BTL, this lap
Biggest Plank In Platform
The biggest plank mi my platform. Bob. is "A Bigger and Better
Penn . State—Athletically ." It is , toward -that prune end I will be
working these next twelve months. If I can, through BTL. move
Penn State up the kidder to.athleiic'prommence , even to the minutest
degree, I will feel satisfied. And I think fair and constructive criti
cism, based on fact, will not be disdainful, but helpful an fulfilling
my ambition.
It I have already written, I do not sound
I hope, Bob, that from whcr.
ungrateful, or that I am entering the picture with a chip on my
shoulder I'm not—at least, I don't want to be I'm truly grateful
foi your advice and I think you can see what I've..been driving at
today Cohd luck, Bob' I'm probably the one who'll need it
—Dick Peters

son for that confident ,feeling

"something" that makes a team
