Everyone does it sometime and my turn came Saturday night. It was a mistake on my part, and one I won’t make again.” We still think that one of the neatest coaching jobs done in this College or any institution is that of Nick Thiel, varsity la crosse mentor. Few coaches start with athletes who know nothing about the sport and build teams like those Nick has been turning out year after year. The head stick man will have a tough time this spring, faced with man ' ufacturing a team composed chiefly of sophomores, but 'we’ll bet six used razor blades the team won’t be a wash-out. Speaking of the old Indian sport, Nick has Gazzy Green, Lion soc .. cer player, out wielding a stick. Gazzy’s never tried the game be fore. The University of Mexico bas ketball team which tackles the Lawthermen here next Tuesday have lost 47 games in succession, which almost proves that chili con carne and senoritas are the only things which are very hot south of the border.

It will be a repeat performance between the two teams. Th’e first meeting was at Washington, D. C,. on January 29 and the Hoyas licked the Lions, 28-24, in an overtime game. State led most of the way but Georgetown managed to knot the count at 20-20 with only seconds to go and the thriller went into an extra period. This was all Georgetown’s as the home team tallied eight points to State’fe four.. Both teams, State and George town, are rated among the coun try’s top cage fives. The Hoyas have the better record, however, having lost only two while win ning 14. Included among the teams which have fallen before the Washington cagers are NYU and Temple. These teams have like wise lost to State. Syracuse downed the Lions and also gets credit for inflicting a loss on the Hoyas. ■ For Georgetown, the starting lineup tonight will probably be ; the same which took the floor in ' the first encounter. Kieman, who scored 10 points to pace his team- | mates, will be at one forward and Schmidli is slated for the other. At center will be Engles. The guards will be O’Grady and Rizzi, the best all-around player on the squad. For State, Coach John Lawther plans no changes in his regular starting five. Johnny Barr and Red Moffatt will be the forwards, Herk Baltimore will jump center, and Dick Grimes and Elmer » Gross will play the guard posts, Barr Threatens All-Time Record With six games' still remaining on the Lions’ basketball schedule, high-scoring Johnny Barr threat ens to become the first State courtman ever to pile up 500 points over the course of three years of varsity competition. The Lion captain has scored 134 . points thus far this season, and this added to the 88 points he scored in his sophomore year, and 231 points last year, gives him a high total of 453 markers. Barr must average eight points per game in the last six tilts to eclipse the 500 mark. Second to Barr in the scoring column is sophomore Herkie Baltimore with 95 points, fol lowed by Scotty Moffatt with 76 and Elmer Gross with 69 points. As a team, the Lions have aver aged 36 points per contest, while limiting their opponents to 29 in winning nine games and dropping five for a .643 average. Summaries: Barr Baltimore Moffatt . .

Penn Today Still suffering from the sting of their first defeat, the Nittany tankmen journey to Philadelphia today for their first away tilt and are determined to emerge vic torious in their meet with the Penh Quakers. Although the Red and Blue downed the Lions, 40-35, last year, the odds are on the State splashers to come out on top this season. The Quakers have lost to Cornell, 48-27, and to Rutgers, 50-25, but these defeats mean little when it comes to predicting the outcome of today’s meet. The Penn natators have a rec ord-breaking medley relay team and Captain Joe Tyson is out to give the Lion “Old Reliable,” Captain Bill Kirkpatrick, a race for the 50-yard title. The twelve Nittanymen mak ing the trip may be badly handi capped by the absence of Don Delmanzo, varsity distance man, who was called to New York early this week. It is not yet known whether Delmanzo will be able to join the team in Phila delphia.
