7, WITH DICK PETERS
limmunimmummtwilipmummumplutinipligo .
has now been a little over a
Week since we first asked for ac
tion- on the little matter of putting
Leon aajecki's picture up in Rep
Hall, as - Penn State's sixth All-
American:... . Why the delay is
just: another one of those things
But in case the job needs just
a little more push, hear what one
College administrator has to say
in a letter to this desk:
.T,o ; The . Sports Editor,
C9ll!giari
Dear Dick;
...The controversy over whether
.Lean Gajecki should, rate his
_picture on the walls of Recre
ation Hall. is interesting, to say
- the least.
Although I have seen no
_printed opposition to this from
-Penn State officialdom, the few
random arguments - Vbiced by
some appear to be narrow, if not
dOwnright
What possible objection could
anyone have to this method of.
'honbring' a " player called by
Coach Higgins "the greatest
player.in the country." Certainly
adding one All-American in 16.
:years to the present group of
:live: is not .Carrying things too
:lat.. Certainly nobody is worry
,:ing that the addition of Gajecki
::to. the hOnoied five 'is belittling
to the heroes of the past.
We say.,.the more the merrier.
Naturally this does not, mean
that every-Tom, Dick, and Harry
should take his place in the Hall
of Fame. But it seems to us that
when a football •player in these
days of hundreds of teams, wins
a place"- en: two recognized All-
American teams, he is definitely
an - All-American. Possibly more
so, than those gridders in the
old . :day,s- -M• -a more restricted
W4pi, t-,h,p, game'
.e.fi-,6 .. .
Two words describe ice-cold
Coca-Cola ... delicious and re
freshing. Delicious, because it
' 4:always a pleasure to taste.
Refreshing, because it leaves
ti :delightful after-sense of re
fieihment. So When you pause
make it

In the final analysis, what does
make an All-American? In the
hearts and minds of thousands
of. Penn State students Leon Ga
jecki will always be an All-
American. We believe that Cap
tain-elect Krouse summed up
this attitude at the football ban
quet when he said: "In the fu
ture When I look back on . my
football playing days, Gates will
always be.my captain."
I do not think ft should be
necessary to place this question
before the student body, but
should it be put to a vote we
would predict a landslide in
favor of placing Gajecki's pic
ture with the other worthy sons
of old Penn State. And who owns
this Recreation Hall, anyway?
Get going,. All-College Cabinet."
Interested Administrator
Sport Editor's Note: This just
about expresses everything in our
minds, and the writer of the above
letter can be assured that if the
matter is• not gone to work on
immediately, this corner will go
to bat with the All-College Cabinet
personally on the subjedt.

Orangemen Have Lost
Only To. NYU Violets
A badly battered band of Nit
tany courtmen return to their
home hardwood in Rec Hay at 8
o'clock tonight to meet another
topflight opponent in the form of a
Syracuse . University five which has
lost only one encounter this season
—and that to familiar NYU.
The Orangemen, who trimmed
the Lions twice last year, have
one of the biggest teams in the
East and Coach Lew. Andreas who
has five men hitting the six-foot,
three mark may use three of them
on his starting team.
Biggest scoring threat in the vis
itor's lineup will be Captain Paul
Kartluke, a senior guard who ran
up 259 points in 19 games last year.
Like State captain, John Barr, the
tall Orangeman plays the pivot
position on offense.
Another Syracuse senior who is
alniost guaranteed to cause Lion
Coach John Lawther a lot of
worrying is Stan Kruse. He's
known best as a "clutch" perform
er and will start at forward.
Teamed with these two will be
Chris Kouray, a guard and a fine
set shot; Gene Berger, husky, six
foot, three-inch center; and sopho
more Danny DiPace, who led last
year's frosh outfitin scoring.
State, still recovering from the
effects of the loss to Pitt, may do
without the services of Elmer
Gross for a good part of the game.
The junior guard is still hampered
by his injured knee and may be
replaced by Bob Ramin in the
starting lineup.
Otherwise, the lineup will be
the same' as usual with Barr and
Scotty Moffatt at forwards, Herk
Baltimore at center, and Dick
Grimes at guard.
As a preliminary to the varsity
game the Lion freshmen will stage
their third pre-season contest,
when they meet the Altoona
Undergraduate Center at 6:30. The
first regular yearling game is with
Bucknell at Lewisburg on Febru
ary 4.
Grapplers To Vie
For Syracuse Trip
With their claws sharpened and
in the peak of condition, the Nit
tany Lions will wrestle in elimi
nation bouts today to determine
the few doubtful starters for the
match in Syracuse on Saturday.
"Although we may hold a slight
edge over the Orangemen, there
are plenty of weak spots that must
be ironed out," Coach Charlie
Speidel intimated. "The Maryland
scrap was just a tune-up for our
suicide squadron against Syracuse,
Princeton, Army, Navy, Lehigh,
and Michigan."
Claire Hess, aggressive senior
121-pounder, will compete against
Sophomore Bill Stanley for the
starting spot. Stanley pinned his
Maryland opponent in his debut.
Another sophomore ; Allan
Crabtree, 145-pounder, is in dan
ger of losing his position with
John Henry, experienced junior
matman, and Mike Lorenzo, soph
omore, combating against him.
A tough battle in the 175-pound
class will be_ staged between Joe
Valla and Bill Bachman. In the
pre-Maryland eliminations, Bach
man and Valle. were deadlocked in
points until the final minute. Valla
scored a takedown to win the
bout.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Lion Stickmen. To Play
First Home Game Saturday
Playing their first home game
of the season, the Lion varsity ice
hockey team will meet a favored
Temple squad here Saturday af
ternoon at 2 p. m. after playing
the same team Friday night at
Johnstown.
The stickmen : outweighed by
the aggressive Temple team, will
depend mainly on speed in their
defense against a member of the
Intercollegiate Ice Hockey 'League,
which has several games' exper=
ience to its Credit.
With Johnny Dufford and Pee
wee. Gates, both stellar men, of the
team, playing center and right
wing respectively in the starting
lineup, the pucksters will be able
to give the Temple squad stiff
competition, and Johnson, left
wing man, Wolbert and DeLong,
defense men, and Lightbody,
goalie will add to the threat of
speed that is due the Owls.
After the game Saturday, skat
ing sessions will be held for spec
tators and others.
W & J Cancels Meet;
Intersquad Till Slated
An influenza epidemic at Wash
ington & Jefferson has caused the
cancellation of their swimming
meet with the Nittany mermen
scheduled for Saturday but Coach
Bob Galbraith will hold an inter
squad meet in place of the tilt with
the Presidents.
Varsity swimmer Jack Fruchter
has been confined to a Philadel
phia hospital with an infected eye
and may not be able to rejoin the
tankmen for some time.
