JThe question: Why must students pay a quarter to see their own hockey team play at home, when the puck chasers are recognized officially as a College sport, and the AA books are meant to gain admittance to all home athletic events? . . . Here’s the answer Mr. Fleming gave . . . Though officially recognized as Penn State athletic teams, the hockey and ski outfits are still operating on an informal basis, that is, they are still making their own sched ules, planning their- own trips, and handling their, own financial matters . . . Visiting teams must be promised some guarantee, us ually about $5O, and so, to defray that expense is reason of the two-bits cover charge. Which’ explanation brought up a new question . . . Why, if the hockey and ski teams are offici ally recognized, shouldn’t the Athletic Association be. handling their business, similar to other sports of the College? . . . The answer, via Mr.'.Fleming, is that, when’ the two teams applied last year for college recognition, all they asked was the College ap proval plus varsity letter awards . . . This the College okayed, also stating that the Association could not budget any money during 1940-41 for the teams, but would help them out as much as pos sible . . . Which was all well and _gaod for both'parties concerned . . .' Thus far this year the hoc keymen have received .$350 and the skiers $125 from the Athletic DID YOU KNOW that Jim Lewis, pres ent 165 pound EIBA title holder, has <i brother, Al, who held, tfie National inter collegiate. w elter weight title in 1932?

Captain Frank Gleason, Clair Hess, Joe Scalzo, and Chuck Rohrer will enter the Midship men fray defending an undefeat ed string, while Captain Dick King, Navy 165-pounder and only holdover from last year, will attempt to mar Rohrer’s re -cord. Coach Charlie Speidel’s start ing lineup is still uncertain with Bill Stanley’s challenge to 121- pound Hess and Glen Alexan der’s defending of his 145-pound spot to be decided in finals elim ination- bouts today. Both squads have won three meets and lost one. Riflemen Cop Two More Victories Over Weekend Nittany riders annexed a pair of postal victories, Saturday, when they trounced Detroit Uni versity, 1400 to 1354, and defeat ed California .State Teachers Col lege (Pa.) by a 9.51 to 917 tally. With' three shooting positions allowed in the Detroit match, Co-caplains Gil Gault and Ben Stahl ‘ copped scoring honors, plugging 288 and 284, respective ly. Hal Yount gained a 277, edg ing Stan Forbes with a 270. Dick Cuthbert marked a 275. Association. However, the time has almost .come when the hockey men. and skiers have reached the end of their string as informal athletic teams, according to Mr. Fleming . . . Difficulty in schedule-making and financial problems, will prob ably lead to the complete taking over pf the two “outlaw” sports of Penn State within the next year or two at the latest. All summed up this corner feels that it’s a pretty mixed-up jumble and something for the Athletic Advisory Board to con sider at one of its earliest meet ings. It sounds like Uncle Sam recognizing Russia but refusing the Soviets the right to export caviar to the United States. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Loss Of Seas Barr Outstanding As Tartans Prove Weak Opposition By JOHN BAER The Nittany Lions played list less ball for most of the game but still were far too powerful for Carnegie Tech as they handed the Tartans their 11th straight defeat, 42-24, in Rec Hall last night. At no time in the game did the Pittsburghers even remotely threaten the Lions. It was little more than a practice game for State as the cagers concentrated more on setting up plays than on running up the score. Captain John Barr continued to lead the team in fact as well as in name as he tallied 13 points tq top the scoring. Red Burch of Tech was second with four bas kets and three free tosses for 11 counters. Tied for third with seven apiece were Scotty Moffatt, Herk Baltimore and Elmer Gross of State and Wally Patton-of the Tartans. Grqss Opens Scoring At the opening of the first half Gross scored with his private brand of one-handed push shot to give the Lions a lead which they had no trouble in holding. Moffatt increased the margin to 4-0 before Burch sank a long heave to break the ice for Car negie. The game proceeded evenly until the 10-minute mark when the scofeboard showed 10-7, in State's favor. At this point Barr, Baltimore and Bob Ramin clicked to make.it 16-8. Patton tallied for the visitors just before the half time gun and the score was 16-10. The Nittany passers really'got hot as the second period opened and started a scoring spree which the Carnegie cagers couldn’t stop until they were farther behind than ever, 36-13. Burch, Patton Tally Burch tallied on a sleeper play but John Egli retaliated with a tap-in for State. Gross added a foul to change the score to 39-20. Another foul by Gross and a long shot by Ramin upped the count to 42-20. Then the Tartans got back in the ball game,, as Burch tallied with a free throw and a bucket and Rhodes dropped a foul to make it 42-24 The summaries Penn State (42) Barr, f ....
