A Heedy Oase
We were one of a group who
visited. Mont Alto, Penn State’s
forestry school down the state,
several days ago. Naturally, we
were interested in the athletic
program and interest which the
yearling foresters and civil .en
gineers at the—school have—or
rather, don’t have.
At Mont Alto, they have a
physical edu-Vton instructor
and intended' athletic director.
He also must find time to teach
several forestry subjects to the
117 lads who are roughing it at
the mountain retreat
“The guy just can’t find time
to help us organize sports well,”
one kid complained. “Why, we
tried to have an intramural box
ing tournament and only 12
boys signed up for it. Anyway,
it wouldn’t be much of a boxing
meet, because we’d just get in
there and slug until someone
dropped.”
We saw the two-by-four audi
torium which is transformed in
to a gym if necessary, by moving
the seats to one side and a
strong imagination. The only
equipment which we saw avail
able for any sport was a broken
down parallel bar and a sim
ilarly sway-backed sidehorse.
We nearly overlooked the mat,
which we presume must have
been for any wrestling which
the Mont Alto lads feel like at
tempting.
Now it seems that when you
get a gang of boys, over a hun
dred in number, and try to con
vince them they’re going to col
lege without providing them a
few advantages in the sporting
line —you’re not kidding anyone
but yourself. We heard what
the Mont Alto boys thought, we
know how they felt.
“Heck,” remarked one husky
frosh, “we asked them for a set
of weights for weightlifting, but
the College couldn’t even see
its way clear to spend fourteen
dollars for them.”
Penn State has had some fine
athletes come out of Mont Alto
—take Carl Stravinski, regular
football tackle this year; or Jack
Good, co-captain of the fencing
team; or Bobby Ernst, regular
on the Lion soccer eleven, to
name just a few of the most re
cent ones.
We think the least the Col
lege could do is provide a full
time man on physical education
at Mont Alto, and make some
small grants of athletic equip
ment, which might add to the
pleasures and physical develop
ment of Perm State’s “forgotten
men.”
Neffers Practice
At High School
Hampered by having only one
all-weather court available,. the
varsity netters have been prac
ticing for the last week on the
State College high school’s new
asphalt courts, through the co- ,
operation of supervising princi
pal Jo Hayes and net mentor,
Ted Kemmerer.
The Lion tennis team will
meet its first competition April
19, when the West Point court
men will travel to State College.
Not at all typical of “openers,”
the Cadets will present some of
the toughest opposition of the
season for the local racquet
wielders.
Coach Ted Roethke has four
of last year’s singles players
back to form a nucleus for this
season’s squad. They are last
year’s number one man, Captain
Mac Weinstein, Del Hughes, in
third position, Chuck Bowman
and John Knode, fourth and

Tennis Captain Mac Wein
stein, Penn State's representa
tive in national tennis circles,
has been entering and winning
court tournaments ever since
his high school days.
Amiable enough with the ex
ception. of his recent role as the
dastardly villain in the Player’s
show, Mac won his first big
tourney in 1937 at the Middle
Atlantic State’s Interscholastic
competition.
When a freshman at Penn
State. Mac did a great deal in
organizing the first frosh net
team and played in the number
one spot. As a sophomore he
broke into the varsity line-up
as number two man, and ever
since then has been the Lion’s
lead off man. He has won IS

out of 22 college matches, which
isn’t a bad record against the
best men in eastern colleges.
“The best player i ever met.”
Mac said, “was at Culver Mili
tary Academy in the National
Outdoor Junior tourney when I
faced Frankie Kovacs in the
quarter-finals. He beat me 6-3,
6-3.” Kovacs has just finished
cleaning up the winter circuits
by defeating such courtmen as
Bobbie Riggs and Don McNeill.
Mas has his heart set on meet
ing Joe Hunt or Navy again this
year, and of making a better
showing than he did last season.
- T don’t know whether or not I
can beat him. but I’ll welcome
another crack at him.” Mac
added.
Another tennis player that
Mac would like to beat some
day, (and he says he will) is
Izzy Beilis, Weinstein’s partner
in many doubles tourneys. “If
we couldn’t get to the tourna
ments any other way, Izzy and
I would hitch-hike,” Mac said.
