Jumping into the whirlpool
which will be Penn State's sports
schedules these next few weeks,
we find that:
Stock in the Nittany cage team
clipped slightly following the
Geotgetown fracas last week . . :
It took an overtime period to
do the trick, however, and then,
the Lions only lost by four points
. . . The next-big hurdle facing
Long Jal;vn Lawther Inc. will
be the Temple tussle this Satur
day- in Philly.
Running, truer to form than
was expected, Gene Wettstone
and his varsity gymnasts upset
more than dope sheets by knock
ing off Navy 'in their first meet
of the year . . . No telling what
might have been the score had
Roman "Henry the Flit" Pieo
been in top form . . . The Lion
ace • rope-scaler has been , side
lining it for several weeks with
a bad wrist injury, but was able
to nab a few points for the Nit
tany air-crobats.
Within the next month Penn
State will take part,in 43 ath
letic events, varsity and frosh,
25 of which are slated for home
performance . . . On Saturday,
the 22nd, no -less than nine local
teams will work on home ground,
while only the varsity basketball
ers seek an Army victory abroad.
Two things are partiCularly
bothering this corner, which
should be 'easy to clear up . . .
Firs, the purchase of the elec
tric scpre board for Rec 'Hall and
second, the adoption of a new
intramural scoring system by the
IM Board . . . Both matters are
very, very much in need, solu
tions for them are simple, and
all that is needed is a wee bit of
action.

Now officially recognized by loc.al administrators,' Leon
Gajecki, 1940 Lion grid captain, pictured above, will have his pic
ture erected in Rec Hall as State"s sixth All-American, joining past
pigskin greats, Mother Dunn, Glenn Killinger, Bob Higgins, Char
ley Way and Joe Bedenk.
Following is the official statement released yesterday to the
Collegian by Carl P. Schott, Dean of the School of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics:
"It gives me great pleasure to announce that Leon Gajecki's
picture will be placed in Recreation Hall along with Penn State's
five other All-American football players.
"In view of the interest show by the student body and also
manifested by The Daily Collegian I thought it advisable to discuss
this matter with the Executive Committee of the School of Physi
cal Education. This Committee was unanimously in favor of hon
oring our 1940 captain in this manner.
"We believe it advisable not to establish any definite policy
regarding the selection of future athletes for this honor, concluding
that it would be best to judge each case as the occasion arises. The
Committee hopes for many such "problems" in the future.
"I wish to express my gratitude for the many - communications
received from students, all in favor of recognizing Gajecki's ability
as a football player by including his picture with the greats of the
past. Such universal sentiment is only one more indication of the
real worth of our captain."
