Our Academic Deans
Rumor, emanating from a good
source, has it that some of the
deans of the different schools of
the, College were all in favor of
abolishing intercollegiate athletics
for -"the duration" at a recent
meeting to discuss the proposed
changes in the academic schedule.
We don't .know what the out
*come of all this will be, but - we're
willing• to lay a 'wager that Priesi
dent Hetzei.will never permit this
sharp curtailment of sports to' go
through unless he deems .it neces
sary for . the general welfare. Our
prey has taken a very keen in
terest in State's athletic program
all along and believes greatly in
the :benefits derived from whole
some competition.
Still on the same subject, it is
very probable that the spring sport
schedule will be carried through
until May 16 at least, or one week
beyond the end of .the semester.
In this manner, nearly all of, the
scheduled events; with the excep
tion of about seven baseball
games, 'will be completed with lit
tle inconvenience to anyone.
Some of the athletes will be
forced to leave immediately after
graduation but there will be
enough of the underclassmen left
to capably represent Penn State.

Rubber Shortage Halts
Handball Tournament
Because of priorities in the rub
ber industries the intramural
handball tournament has been in
definitely postponed, Saul Heflin,
manager of the tournament, an
nounced yesterday.
The worn-put handballs are
in one of the chemistry labs being
soaked in an acid solution until
they are usuable again. A request
has been sent out by some of the
participants in the tournament
for some slightly used handballs.
Any contributions will ,be gladly
accepted, Hanin added.
In the event the third semester
is approved by the Board of
Trustee's, it is very possible that
none of the events will be called
off at all.
In that case, freshmen who en-.
tered the College In September
will be eligible for varsity com
petition in the latter part of May.
Some of the current yearlings may
be needed to fill the shoes, of the
graduating seniors or other ath
letes called, to service.
BTL
The question of making fiesh
men eligible for varsity teams
hasn't arisen locally up. to date,
but it's bound to come up in the
Fall when the absence of upper
classmen will -be felt. Such col
legiate leaders as Harvard and
Dartmouth have already taken
this progressive step, their action
no doubt • being based on exper
ience gathered in World War 1.
When the proper time arrives,
our athletic heads can be counted
on to do the right thing.

Baltimore Tops
Cagers' Scoring
Paced by Herk Baltimore, junior
center who has tallied 66 points in
the first eight games of the present
campaign, Penn State's Nittany
courtmen have hung up a com
mendable record of six victories
against two setbacks.
Unlike many collegiate basket
ball teams, the Lion basketeers
hale developed into an unusually
well-balanced scoring machine.
'This is evident in the fact that five
of the first seven men have scores
ranging within six points of each
other.
Elmer Gross, senior co-captain,
is second high with 51 markers.
He and Baltimore are the only
players who have scored in every
game.

(IT'S INFORMAL)
Fencers Receive Invitation
To Intercollegiate Tourney
Performances In Past
Cause Of Present Honor
Consistently fine performances
by Penn State fencers for the past
few seasons have matured into an
invitation to take part in the East
ern Intercollegiate tournament this
year, it was stated last night.
Commenting upon the invitation
which is the first of its kind in the
history of the College, Coach
Harry Krutter said, "It is a real
honor and a rare one." .
The Nittany fencers wil linvade
New York City for the intercolleg
iate competition on lMarch 20-21.
Leading teams of the East will test
the Lion's skill in one of the young
est sports in the College.
Army, City College of New York,
Columbia}, Cornell, Hamilton, Har
vard, MIT, Navy, NYU, U of P,
Princeton, and Yale are member
colleges. Dr. Krutter's swordsmen
will meet Navy, Cornell, CCNY,
and NYIJ, in dual meets prior to
the Intercollegiates.
Inexperience may greatly hamp
er this year's team, Coach Knitter
revealed. Only two veterans re
main from last year, Captain Dick
Harder and George Gimber. Most
of the team prospects consist of
sophomores. One junior and one
senior, both lacking varsity exper
ience, complete the outlook.
