FRIDAY; .JUNE 5, 1942 lIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIF Bet Ween The Lions With DON DAVIS Sports Editor Our Summer Platform . In several columni in the past few weeks we have put forward suggestions which we felt would make for a better Summer semes tai• as far as recreation and ath letic opportunities for the student body are concerned. Just to bring these together all in one place as a definite platform for recreation and physical fitneis, we list the following: 1. Trapsportation by College or other truck to Whipple's Dam each weekensl to give students at least a fighting chance to get near some water and cool off. 2. Building of fireplaces on suitable picnic spots on nearby College property, thus making pic nicking still a possibility for stu dent and faculty groups. 3. Renting of the Dux Club Bowling Alleys by 'the College for the Summer under a system simi lar to the renting of Glennland pool. 4. Formation of a baseball in tramural league of six teams. This -league being formed not between fraternity or independent groups but merely from -amopg the group of students showing interest in playing some ball this Summer. 4. Sponwing of 'an interclass track meet to be held the Saturday afternoon of the "Big Weekend," August 1. Everyone eligible in cluding varsity men since each class will have equal share and it would add color to the meet. 5. Co-recreational intramurals in golf and tennis. B. Organization of faculty mush -ball teams; possibly a team repre senting each. school.- What bOtter Way to cement student faculty re lations than to have 1?°#1 groups Meet on the' playing 'field and sweat together. Maybe the • win ning faculty teain . could meet the Winning intramural team. - • 7. Having an extensive intra mural musbball -league with the '.winning. team meeting a winning team from a nearby school in an 'interschool 'intramural game. • •8. Marking off outdoor volley ball and basketbalt courts on the macadam parking .space next to the varsity tennis courts. 9. Continuation of playnights: • Rooms for Rent 600 Incoming Freshmen Will Boost The Summer Enrollment To 1,000. AN ADD PLACED IN The Daily Collegian WILL INSURE YOUR GETTING THE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU WANT. CALL 111 AND ASK FOR THE COLLEGIAN OFFICE BETWEEN 3 AND 5 O'CLOCK FOR INFORMATION.

It was his second frosh mark. He set a new mark in _the half-mile last --• week. ASME Elects-Officers Donald Dickinson '43 was elect ed president of the Penn State chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at a meeting held recently. Other new officers include- Paul H. Richard '43, vice-president; Kenneth E. Eyler '43, secretary; and G. Doug las Walters '43, treasurer. The last one seemed to be a great success thanks to Ray Conger, and those working with him. Agglr.#lg 'by all campus groups of the big-three way week end tentatively planned for August 1 should afford 4 he .College with best recreational program ever held on this campus. Granting that some . of these proposals may —be impossible, there should be. enough of them possible to round out a Summer Program that would adequately solve the recreation problem and at the same time keep the majority of the studenSbody physically ac tive. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Post-Season Marks Upheld As Official Two more freshman track rec ords fell by the wayside yesterday as the post-season frosh drills got runners into better shape than they have been in all season, even while they were in active compe tition. Jerry Karver, after trying all season and failing because he had been handicapped •by weather dif ficulties, ran alone officially yes terday to set a new mark in the mile with a time of 4:21.1. His new mark betters by 4.4 seconds the five-year old mark set by M. L. Keiser in 1937. The other record cracked was the second one broken this year by Cliff St. Clair. Yesterday he made himself holder of the frosh 440- yard mark of 50.5 seconds, knock.: ing three-tenths of a second from• the mark set earlier this year •by Bill Shuman in the freshman meet against Cornell, May 2. The old mark in the 440 was set in 1933 by Harold Downey at 51 seconds. St. Clair's mark yester day, bettered that by half a sec ond. • Karver was trying for a 4:14 mile when he set the new mile mark and .came within seven sec onds,of doing it. Had he achieved his aim he would have bettered the College varsity mark of 4:16.1 set in 1929. St. Clair's breaking two records is a feat bettered here only by one man, Barney Ewell, in his fresh man year. It equals the marks of two new records by Mike Vuk manic in javelin and discuss in 1937 and Keiser in mile and two mile in the same year•. This year is the , first since 1940 that any frosh records have fallen. Linkmen To Meet Colgate June 20 Lion golfers will resume play when they meet Colgate at Hamil ton, N. Y., on June 20. From the eight varsity competitors of last season when the Nittany linksmen went over the top and won the EIGA title in the Middle Atlantic Division, four are back for the Summer semester ..Co-Captains Dick Stephens and Bill "Ducky" Swaii, ooth juniors, have returned and will probably lead the line-up. Ed Fairchild and Bill Smiley, seniors are also back, and should come through in the playoffs next week for a berth on the team. Coach Rutherford,. Penn State's athletic coach with the longest service record, lost four men through graduation when Jim Kramer, Bob Wallace, Dent Hol den and last year's captain, Chuck Seeibold, left at the end of last semester. New men out for the team for the Summer are Dick Hastings, Hank Keller, Stu Burns; and Jack Dorrance. The Penn State golfers are scheduled for one other match this month, which is with the Centre Hills Country Club on the College Four other meets are in the Summer's line-up, two with Cornell, and one return match with Colgate and Centre Hills. IMA, IWA To Hold Picnic IWA and IMA will hold a joint picnic in Hort woods 3 to 7 p. m. Sunday. , The affair is open to all students, and incoming freshmen are invited to attend. Tickets en titling the bearer to refreshments are on sale at Student Union, and will be sold at the picnic. Pool Open 3 Nights For Co-Rec Swimming Glennland Pool will be open three nights weekly for co-recrea tional swimming according to an announcement by Glenn N. Thiel, professor of physical education, last night. Both men and women students may use the pool on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights from 7 till 10. The pool will be open to men students every weekday afternoon from 1 to '5, except when classes are scheduled. All Summer session, graduate and . special students are invited to use the pool as well as the reg ular student body. Sophomores and freshmen can use their, regu lar swimming cards while upper classmen and special students can buy tickets good for 16 swims, for a dollar at the Bursar's office. Sophs With Baseball team Show Potential Strength In Hitting Among the sophomores out for the Nittany Lion baseball team are several potential hitters if the re cently-ended freshman diamond season is any indication. Dale Bower, who is a probable second base starter, led Coach Leo Houck's frosh nine last season at a .500 clip in four games. Howard 'Grebs, one of the few right-hand ed batters trying for an outfield post, followed Bower with an av erage slightly over .400, and Johnny Sylvester, outfielder was a few points behind as third heav iest slugger. Only two players have been able to hit the scoreboard on the right side of the New Beaver field ball diamond in Summer season prac tice. Jack Weber, soph first base man, and Bob Perugini, senior, at tained the feat. Showing up well at third base is Don Sandercock, whose injured finger kept him out of most of the frosh games. Sandercock was a shortstop and is being converted to the hot corner post. Bay Bit ting '44 is learning duties as a catcher to relieve George McWil liams who was the lone catcher. The .frosh team last season won three contests while dropping one. GET YOUR COLLEGIAN SUBSCRIPTION NOW Transportation Notice For the Duration our reservation system will be used.

Plesser, Ewell To ißun For Stale Al Rochester Barney Ewell will be accom panied by. another member of the Lion track team when he travels to Rochester Saturday. Barney Plesser will go along to run the special 120-yard high hurdle event as a representative of the Nittany Lion. The special events will be an attraction at the Section 5 cham pionship meet of the New York Public High School Athletic As sociation at which Lion Coach Chick Werner will be guest ref eree. The meet will be in charge of Bill Cox, former State distance man. Ewell will be making an at tempt to crack Charlie Paddock's 200-yard dash record of 19 sec onds. The record was set by Paddock when he was called by fans the "world's fastest human." Experts give him a better-than even chance of carrying out his threat to the 21-year-old mark. If Barney can annex this title to add to his string he will be classed as one of the all-time greats because of his triple out door IC4-A win and his holding two records in that association. His Intercollegiate records would have been even better had it not been for the strong wind at the meet which was cause enough for declaring them unofficial. Ewell and Plesser will be at tempting to bring back to Penn State more glory to add to that they have already brought it this track season. Former team cap ta.in Joe Bakura was invited to compete in the meet but Werner stated yesterday that he thought Bakura would not be able to get to Rochester. Tennis Team To Open With only two weeks remaining until the opening of the Summer +tennis season, Coach Ted Roethke faces the difficult task of whipping a team together from a small group of inexperienced sophothore candidates for the opening match with Colgate on the latter's courts June 20.
