WEDNESDAY, JULY 1,11942 Between The Lioiis With DON DAVIS Out of the uniform of his Alma Mater for nearly 30 years, "Shorty" Miller 'l4 will again don Penn State baseball togs tomor row afternoon and work out with 'Joe Bedenk and his squad. In fact, Shorty intends to keep in shape this way for the next six weeks. Although pl, the former 'Lion football and baseball star 'looks in great shape; good enough to take to the gridiron for a short scrimmage most any day now. One of the he officials in pro football , he took time off yes teraiy afternoon on 1110 ball bench to tell us a few °this experiences at State. In 1012 the Lions had i great iodtbill squad. They went out to play Ohio State in One of the first .intersectional games, and according to Shorty, before the game was over he had witnessed the most unusual hici dent in collegiate ball. Ohio State was confident that they would have little trouble with the Nittany squad, but it was one of those games in which everything _Went wrong for the home team. And with nine minutes of the fouith quarter left to play., the Lions were ahead, 37-0. On a signal from the Ohio Slate coach his entire team lett the field not .io return. Their alibi was un necessary roughneis. Shorty was calling signals for the gdme. As he put it, the. Ohio State boys .were so much on the run that after the first quarter he obliged the. opponents by telling them just what ;plays he was about to call. Weighing only 140 pounds at the time, the versatile Mr. Miller had three •touchdowns himself that day. When the game reach ed its premature finish it was necessary for the Lion squad to gather in the middle of the field to be protected by a cordon of cops. _And the indignant Ohio State fans were forced to give vent to their emotions by burning the blue and white Penn State .flag flying from the goal posts. Shorty is now principal of the Thomas Edison Junior High School in Harrisburg. His (laugh : ter, Beverly, is a Theta here, at State, and he has another daugh , ter entering College in the Fall. When asked just what Shorty would be doing on the diamond for the next six weeks, Joe Be denk assured us that he would'be useful as a pitcher for batting •Practice. Not satisfied with this, Shorty informed Joe • that he would spend most of his time in , "Pepper" practice. As he put it, "I got to keep these legs of mine in shape for-officiating next year." . . .: .

Previously, Del ta Upsilon clinched the title in Section 3. The second place Alpha Phi Delts, however, didn't relinquish their title bid without a strenuous struggle. A last inning rally that netted the losers three runs, al most turned the trick. Gray, on the mound Tor the Tekes, did yoe man work, allowing the College avenue lads only 8 hits. His mound opponent, Benedetto, did equally as well in the hit column, but couldn't hold up in the clutches. A fifth inning homer by Jacob son, Beta Theta Pi fielder, with the bases loaded, spelled doom for the Sigma Alpha Epsilon squad. Zook, on the mound for the Betas, turned in his fourth straight vic tory of the season with a -hit per formance. • The recent defeat of "Big Mike" Kerns, DU pitching ace, now puts Zook at the head of the list of successful IM twirlers. Phi Delta Theta can do nothing worse than a tie for first place in Section 4. Their scheduled ganie last night with third place Phi Kappa Psi was rained out. In a pitching duel between Barclay, Delta Sigma Phi, and Goss, Theta Chi hurler, the form er emerged victor in a close 5 to 3 game. Both pitchers allowed only 6 hits. The Theta Chi field ers, however, allowed 3 errors when ;phe chips were down. In the best mound performance turned in yet this year, Borsa, — Canal Street "strike-out king," disposed of 18 Irvin Hall batsmen via the strike-out route in a mas terful one-hit pitching exhibition. The lone hit, a homer, came from the bat of McNeely, losing pitch er. In the only other scheduled game, Penn State . Club forfeited to the Miller Club. The forfeit was the 'third by the Penn State Club squad, who have officially withdrawn from further league competition.
