Real Determination
Ted Husing, noted sports com
mentator, recently related what he
termed the funniest incident he
had ever heard in the world of
sports. And this incident was about
two Penn State trackmen on their
way to a meet last spring.
It seems that Joe Bakura - and
Red• Moffatt; pole-vaulters, were
en route to Randall's Island via
subway. In a weak moment at
their hotel they .had • brergged of
being able to carry their poles with
them on' the three subway trains
which, they had to 'take to reach
their destination. And so the two
boys from the Nittany Hills under
took a task that , a ruAtive New
Yorker would have never attempt..
ed,• that of driving •their way in
and out of the cars with these long
bamboo poles in 'tow. Screamed at
'by every guard and conductor they
passed, the two Lion stalwarts
turned deaf ears and plowed on
amid the teeming masses of weary
commuters. On reaching Randall's
Island these two boys had accom
plished a feat unheralded in the
sports columns but unparalleled
for sheer determination.
Three Thoughts
If this rain stops the Lion court
men will face across the nets to
morrow the first service squad to
meet the Lions for many years.
Even if it is only a match with the
ensigns stationed on campus it is
probably the beginning of a series
of athletic events with service
squads. And from this corner, the
more such matches the better.
Word has come to us that mush
ballers'have been using the com
munity baseball, diamond for their
games. Those in charge of the dia
mond have requested that mush
ball playing be restricted to the
outfield since playing on the in
field necessitates the moving of
bases, etc.
