From the opening Welcome to the singing of the Alma -Mater at the close, the air was "filled with praises of Penn State's • - football warriors, and justly too . . . Everyone kicked in with a ":few nice words for this person and • Of them all we - liked best Lenny Krouse's tribute to Gates Gajecki . Krottse had just been .:;.atmotiriced the au captain by Ga :.jecki,. who -classed himself as a --f!has-been" . . . But Krouse took the words out of every State fan's mouth when he replied that "you'll h .fielfer be a 'as-been' to me, Gates ..;you'll always be my captain" . . .Next best we liked Cap'n Bob Heigins' remarks about 'the out seniors, especially his tri butes. to fellows like Aub Nonne -Maker, Jim Woodward, Walt - Kniaz, Ben Pollock, and Sam Ko .pach . . . Talking about football . rernitids Us that Gates Gajecki will be heading westward Monday to :join the Eastern All-Stars in Chi ' 'cago . . . Hob Higgins tells the tale of the Penn game two- years ago when one of his sophomore play '- ers came to him after the game, looking much like a lost son . . . "Where am I going to stay to ::night, Mr. Higgins?" asked the lad . . . The Hig, laughed, "You come with me, Leon." . And now that same player, Leon Joseph "Gates" Gajecki, will take the long trek to the Pacific Coast with no one to guide him . . . Don't say football_ doesn't do something for a boy .. . We think the happiest, and prob ably most surprising speaker of all at the banquet Thursday night was "Dean of Deans" Burrell, locker room custodian of athletic equip ment . . . President Hetzel, who really gets into the spirit of things at these grid functions, poked back at the metropolitan newspapermen by saying that he had "played as conspicuously as anyone this'year," and that.. he' ad even been "ac cused of running the wrong way with the ball" . . . It wouldn't be -surprising if someone went crazy trying to find Prexy's name in a starting lineup just for something to scribble about. Frosty Battle Jayvees In Court Game Tonight In their first game of the season the Frosh courtmen will- be able to show their abilities on the hard wood when they meet the Jayvees in an exhibition and practice game as a preliminary to the State-Col ate game in Rec Hall at 6:30 p.m. today.

Rec Hall At 8 Tonight Visitors Boast Fast Aggregation The lid's off and anything can happen when the basketball Lions, pepped up after their successful 55-21 shooting practice at Buck nell, come to grips with Colgate's Red Raiders on the Rec Hall hard wod at 8 o'clock tonight. The Hamilton, N. Y. outfit will be made up almost entirely of vet erans from the 1939-40 court squad and is reputed to be one pf the classiest cage teams ever to come out of theChenango Valley. Although John Lawther's pass ers triumphed last year, 43-25„ Colgate improved steadily as the season progressed and ended -with a more than creditable record of 12 victories and six defeats. Standout performer on the Red Raider five is Captain Hank Faw cett, a five foot, nine inch scoring machine. In spite of being the shortest player on last year's quin tet, Fawcett averaged 11 points per game to lead his teammates in that department. Ths starting Colgate lineup av eraget six feet, two inches and Probable Lineups Pos. Penn . State F... :Barr F....Silan C.... Baltimore .. G.... Gross ...... G.... Grimes .... will give nothing away to the Lions in this respect. The tallest visitor will be Bob Taft, six feet, four and a half inches of center. In addition to Fawcett and Taft, members of the Red Raider squad scheduled to start are Bob Meeker, forward, and Dud Leonard and Jack Sullivan, guards. The same five Nittany courtmen who answered the opening whistle in the first two encounters are again Lawther's choice as a start ing outfit. Captain Johnny Barr, who show ed improvement in the Bucknell rout after playing lackadaisical ball in the Wash-Jeff heart-break er, is slated to lead the team from his forward position. Sophomore Johnny Silan will be back as Barr's running mate on the front line. At center will be Herky Balti more, another sharpshooting new comer, while junior veterans Dick Grimes and Elmer Gross will han dle the back line assignments. The weakest spot in the Nittany outlook is the lack of experienced reserves. Except for letterman Scotty Moffatt, who is still unable to stay in the ball game for any considerable length of time, de pendable substitutes are few and far between. Next in line after Moffatt are two sophomores, Bob Ramin and John Linde, who will probably be chosen to spell the first-string performers. Freshman Grapplers Hold First Trials Of Season With only lower-weight classes competing, eight freshman wrest lers were victorious in the initial trials of the season held yesterday afternoon in Rec Hall. 128-pound class Joseph W. Steel decisioned Henry A. Dyms za, Norman F. Sudnick topped Howard D. McVicker, and Samuel C. Harry pinned John F. Fleming. 136-pound class -- James W. Foust decisioned John 0.

Mangus decisioned Francis J. Cavanaugh. The remaining trials will be staged Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in preparation for the inter-class meet which will be held immediately f ollowing Christmas vacation. Four Nittany Gridders Drafted By Pro Teams John Patrick, Chuck Peters. Frank Platt, and Tom Vargo. members of the 1940 Lion football squad, have been picked in the National Professional Footb al League's annual draft, it was re vealed last night.

Both Plat; and Vargo, end and tackle respec tively, were drawn by the Chica go Cardinals, along with Paul , Christman of Missouri and John Kimbrough of Texas A. and M.
