Sophomore basketballers. seem
to have the interclass basketball
tournament not-to-well in hand as
the two more games loom on the
White Hall horizon next week. A
win meted out from the plucky
frosh sextet will clinch the tour
ney for the sophomores—but, the
frosh present a real problem.
The frosh sextet is the only real
threat to sophomore supremacy.
This squad trounced the junior
senior cagers, 36-22, and dropped
a close one to the sophomores, 33-
29. One win, one loss—all of which
means trouble for the sophomores.
Let’s look at the individual
scores. Becky Walker, a frosh,
leads all interclass cagers with 36
points in two games, followed by
Sophomore Peggy Northrup with
30. Mary A. Jennings, another
frosh, places third with 20 points.
The best the sophomores have to
offer in second place scoring hon
ors goes to Mary K. Hoppel with
15 points. For individual scores,
the frosh have the edge.
It may well be said that the
junior-senior dribblers are pract
ically out of the running, since
their two attempts to annex a
win have been spiked by both the
frosh and sophomores.
The following schedule for next
week’s tilts has been released by
Mary G. Longnecker, intramural
chairman:
Tuesday, 7 p. m.—Frosh vs. Jun
ior-Senior team.
Wednesday, 7 p. m. Sopho
mores vs. Frosh.
A frosh win Monday night
against the junior-senior squad fol
lowed by another win against the
sophomores would make the soph
cagers mighty unhappy.

extended beyond its original limit.
When Les Brown and his orches
tra were in Hollywood, making
“Seven Days’ Leave” for RKO,
they were playing nightly at the
famous Palladium. Although they
spent a full eight hours a day on
the lot with the orchestra hearing
the arrangements for the film, the
production staff as well as Victor
Mature and Lucille Ball could be
found on hand at the dance hall to
dance to the maestro’s music.
Ginger Rogers and Cary Grant
were two other stars who paid the
Palladium a frequent visit while
Les and the Band broke all attend
ance records for that ballroom.

Hekzebiah Hawkins Decree
Gives Coeds Their Chance
Go get your man, gals. The five--
to-one ratio may be dwindling but
there’re still enough male speci
mens in Nittany Valley for you to
practice the time-honored tradi
tion of Sadie Hawkins, from up
Dogpatch way, and catch yourself
an escort to Spinster Skip.
As all enterprising coeds know,
this chance comes once a year, ac
cording to the decree of Hekzebiah
Hawkins, mayor of Dogpatch, who
initiated the custom in order to
give his fair daughter an oppor
portunity to get herself a husband.
. Hill folk from miles around will
join in the festivities on March 12,
and since the time is drawing nigh
the best catches on campus will go
to local Sadie Hawkinses who are
the quickest to act and take ad
vantage of the tradition which,
according to recent vital statistics
from the Labor Department, proves
even more of a boon to womankind
than Leap Year.
Mayor Hawkins, who is in charge
of current elections for King Dog
patch, announced that it is the
bounden duty of every citizen to
get out and vote for the King, who
will be crowned official Gatch of
the Campus at the Skip.
Seven candidates who are com
peting for the crown are Bill Brin
er, Rube Faloon, Jarkie Grey, Hank
Keller, Ben Leaman, George Pit
tenger and Cliff St. Clair. Also on
the ballot, by petition of the Dog
patch'Society for the Promotion
of Fair Campaigns, are Uriah
“Greasyneck” Lincoln and Slats
Coogan. Straw vote of the local
Gallup Poll shows Coogan to be
the favorite.
Stage Knick-Knacks
Of Dancer s Career
Flamenco dancing, a .strange
and mystical art, according to
Robert Sylvester of New York’s
Daily News, is always exciting
when it’s good and when excep
tional it can be fairly hair-raising.
Carmen Amaya’s dancing is ex
ceptional.
Midway through one of her
dances a press photographer,
hunched over his camera, reported
that his speed lens wasn’t fast
enough to spot the action of her
feet.
* }{«
Carmen Amaya appeared at the
White House in the spring of 1941
to entertain the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt and their guests at the
Press Dinner, In order to meet her
schedule Amaya had to take the
plane from New York to Washing
ton—the prospect of which made
her blanch.
U * *
She had never before left the
ground except in one of her leaps
in the middle of her fierce dances.
Her father reassured her, with
Gypsy fatalism, that the worst that
could happen to her was that the
plane would crash and she would
die. It wasn’t the plane ride, how
ever. There would be no time for
rehearsal with the orchestra. “And
if I flop before the President,” she
hissed at'her father, “I will live to
return and it is you who will die.”
Part of Carmen’s good showman
ship is her terrifying seriousness.
Whenever someone laughs or
smiles during her dance she glares
at hint.
Ration Books Returned
All coeds who have not yet
done so should obtain their
sugar ration books from dormi
tory hostesses at once. Those
who have lost their'receipts are
asked to report it to the host
esses so that they may investi
gate and then return the books.
Registration for War Ration
Book No. 2 will take place in
the Armory Monday, and stu
dents will be asked to present
their first books before they can
receive the new ones.
Trlana, Dancer, Is
Amaya's Partner
Antonio Triana, foremost male
flamenco dancer, and partner to
fiery Carmen Amaya, is the re
markable result of two “ifs” fav
orably resolved..
First, if Antonio’s father, Gero
nimo Moto of the Triana Gypsy
sector of Seville, had not forsaken
his resolution to enter the clergy
in favor of falling in love and
marrying little Felipa, there might
never have been any Antonio at
all.
Second, if a professional appear
ance of nine-year-old Antonio had
not been vociferously acclaimed
by critics, papa and mama Triana’s
disapproval of his dancing and
their determination to keep his
recalcitrant nose to the grind of
formal education would have re
mained uncnanged. .
As it was, Antonio Triana was
born thirty-two years ago, obtain
ed only such schooling as a dis
interested pupil would, gave full
rein to his all-consuming interest
in dancing, and became one of the
greatest male Spanish dancers in
the world. By the time he reached
his ’teens he was famous ..through
out Spain—without benefit of for
mal dance training. And it was not
long before his reputation spread
to the rest of the globe.
Triana’s brother is a composer
of radio and stage prominence in
South America and Mexico. There
is a sister, too, who is married.
Triana says she could have 'been
great actress and dancer. “But,”
he shakes his head half sadljfhalf
disgustedly, “she choose marriage
instead.”
