Basketball Captain Johnny
Barr, hailed as the greatest per
former in Nittany cage history,
was chosen yesterday as Penn
State's outstanding athlete for
1940-41, He was selected by a
committee of all varsity coaches.
Barr participated in only one
varsity sport, basketball, and 'be
comes the second one-sport man
to gain the award. Nick Vuk
manic, last year’s track captain,
was the first athlete honored in
this manner.
Barr has won universal ac
claim as one of the best cagers
in the East. In an Associated
Press poll, he was selected as the
outstanding eager in Pennsyl
vania. He was named center on
an all-East team chosen by a
Syracuse newspaper.
This y.ear, in leading the var-.
sity five to one of the best seasons
ever attained toy a Lion cage
team, Barr set a new State rec
ord by bringing his total varsity
scoring to 519 points. Coach John
Lawther points to him as “the
best player I have ever coached.”
The outstanding athlete award
was first presented in 1929 when
it went to Steve Hamas—a let
terman in football, boxing, bas
ketball, track and lacrosse. Marty
McAndrews, now frosh football
coach' 'received it in 1930. .
Frank Diedrich won it in 1931,
Jesse Brewster in 1933, Tom
Slusser in 1934, A 1 Michaels in
1935, Bill Miller in 1936, Frank
Smith in 1937, Windy Wear in
1938, Harry Harrison in 1939 and

award was made in 1932.

Sfickmen To Hold Full
Field Scrimmage Today
With the gradual improvement
in ground conditions, Coach Nick
Thiel hopes to put his Lion la
crossemen through their first full
field scrimmage today—weather
permitting.
During the past few days the
stickmen had to be content with
half-field scrimmage, offensive
formations, and extra man de
fensive plays. The muddy prac
tice field hasn’t been treating the
boys any too well.
About 60 ambitious frosh are
trying out now for the freshman
lacrosse team. The last few prac- - ■■
tice sessions have been devoted
wholly to instruction. '■r fWI rj
Rocky Ramblers I I Jj
Win Cage Finals hit
In a fast stepping nip-an-tuck If /■ ■
affair, the Rocky Ramblers cop- WT /■ ■ 1
ped the intramural Independent Jg H a
basketball championship last
night at Rec Hall, downing a
fighting Colonial Hotel -quintet,
22-16.
Fraternity finals will be playi
at 8:30 p. m. tonight betwei
Delta Upsilon and Beta Theta
winners of last night’s sem.
finals staged on adjoining cour*
Co-managers Don Yoho ’42 ai
Walt Parsons ’42 have arrangt
to use the main playing floor f<
the event.
Details of last night’s gam<
are as follows:
Independent
Paced by Fred Ball’s 9 poim
the Rocky Ramblers took tl
lead during the first half usin;
a fast razzle-dazzle playing styl
Colonial Hotel retaliated imme
diately after the Rambler’s ini
tial field goal and edged a slight
margin over their opponents.
The lead swayed back and forth
between both teams, but by half
time the Ramblers were ahead
12-11.
In the second half the Ram
blers forged ahead using a pass
ing attack that clicked. Bill
Briner, Colonial, broke up sev
eral of his opponents’ score
making attempts with his fine
blocking. With the score at 20-
12 in the last few minutes of the
game, Colonial began to sink
field goals from all angles. The
final whistle cut. their rally
short.
Vv.
Another nip-and-tuck affair of
the night was Delta Upsilons .tri
umph over Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Using a sliding zone defense
worthy of a varsity team, DU led
11-10 by the end of the first half.
The second half started off
rather slowly, but the DU team
work took effect.’ The score
jumped to 17-11 before the SAE’s
knew what had happened, and
then they tried to make a come
back. The attempt failed how
ever and the DU’s sank a field
goal to cinch the game, 21-17.'
First Basemen, Catchers
Lacked By Nittany Squad
A serious shortage of catchers
and first basemen faces Coach
Joe Bedenk in his attempt to
mold the Nittany baseballers in
to shape for their game with
Penn in Philadelphia, April 11.
Captain Eddie Sapp has been
shifted from his second base
position to fill the gap at the
-initial. sack. Sophomore John
Egli will be the second string
first baseman. Freddy Ball, has
taken over Sapp’s duties at sec
ond.
The catching situation is still
indefinite. Jim Sampsel, frosh
backstop last year, is vying for
the post with Alex Basista, who
played in the outfield last sea
son. Elbur Purnell and Jim
Buckey have also been given a
try at the receiving position.
