"Every morning, promptly at seven—and sometimes before— they start to call,” says Galbraith, referring to his student reservists. They want to know everything that was rumored overnight. Whether or not it is true the reserves must leave school today, or has it been .affirmed that Joe Stalin forced Shick to surrender for good. And so it goes, from 8 a. m. to midnight. Hundreds of students filing in and out of 243 Sparks. Some with their questionnaires in their hands, and others usually with the worried look of rumor written on their- brow. When enlistments first opened last semester, over 100 stu dents lined the corridors adjacent to his office every hour. Some 2000 men were sworn into the Army, Navy, and Marines, but they continued to come back with questions. When asked how long he works on the routine material, he said that the recent swimming -trip to New York with his team was the first time he has been out of State College since last March. “I was even at the office on Christmas day,” he added. . “Gal,” as he is known to his proteges at Glennland pool, began to gain recognition in his own back in 1920. He was then a member of the United. States Navy, and was one of the best divers in the country. In the Olympic try-outs of that year, he qualified for the first team, and was scheduled to sail from New York to Belgium, where the event was slated for that year. - At the last minute, the Olympic officials told him that he must get' a temporary release from the Navy Department before he could leave. In the few hours he had left, he wired for his papers, and they arrived just a few hours after the boat sailed from New York. “Missing that boat,” said Gal, “was the greatest disappointment I have ever had.” After entering Rutgers University, he rose to the captain’s posi tion on the swimming team, and in 1924, during his senior year, won the National Collegiate diving championship at Annapolis. Previous ly, he had copped similar crowns in Eastern Intercollegiate compe tition. Upon graduation as an English major, he went to work for the United Press bureau in New York City as a full-time re porter and at the same time, held a similar position on the New York Times. He explained that after going to work at 7:30 every morning in New Y-ork, and not quitting until after midnight, he must have been getting into shape for his job as FAWS head at Penn State, but left every indication that he loves his job, regardless of the scare he puts into some of the worried students. , Campbellmen Will Face U Penn State’s wrestling squad will face their toughest competi tion this Saturday evening when they meet the grapplers of Lehigh University, who are undefeated this season, and who emerged victors in their fracas with the University of Pennsylvania this past weekend, ending the Red and Blue consecutive win streak at 22. FEBRUARY 2® By REM ROBINSON Indefealed Lehigh Malmen Tne engineers will invade Rec Hall at 8 p. m. Saturday, intent upon keeping their season’s re covd intact, and will therefore be gunning for Coach Paul Camp bell’s. once-beaten team. The only other team in the Eastern Inter collegiate League that has not been beaten this season, is Navy, to whom the Lions fell victim. Dance t 0... LES BROWN ★' ROBERTA ★ THE THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Lion-Temple Cage Fray Postponed Until March 9 Scarlet Fever Case Quarantines Owl Team Because of an outbreak of scar let fever, the Penn State-Temple basketball fray, scheduled for to night, has been postponed until March 9. This announcement came from basketball manager Milton L. Bergstein '44 last night after the Temple athletic association re quested such a move. The symptoms appeared in only *one member of the team, but call ed for quarantine of the whole group, probably because medical authorities think the disease was contracted during one of the bas ketball trips. Postponement of the game will make even more belated any defi nite news about post-sea son invi tations from NCAA District 2. At present, the only two contenders for such a bid are Penn State and W. and J., according to Pittsburgh sports- authorities yesterday. A win over Temple tonight would have helped a lot toward directing the bid in the Lions’ di rection. Delaying the game will probably make little difference, but it would help make the de cision come more quickly. The Lions would -have entered tonight’s fray the favorite because of their record of twelve wins against* four losses, while Temple has won eight and lost nine games so far this season. Postponement of the game will leave the Lions with a layoff from actual combat until next Wednesday when they meet the Carnegie Tech Tartans in Rec Hall. Included amongst these men are 121-pounder William DeLong, who is seeing his first year of varsity competition; his brother, Robert DeLong, at 128; Roy Zac key at 136, a letterman; Kenneth Swayne, 145, a letterman; Fred erick Christ, 155, from last sea season’s -freshman team; Captain John Stockbridge at 165; George Snyder, 175, a letterman; and heavyweight Frank Winter from the 1942 freshman squad. The Lions will end their dual meet season Saturday evening.

Epidemic Hits 2 Mermen In IM Cagers Battle For League Honors; Playoffs to Begin Advancing into the final rounds ot' competition at Rec Halt last night, IM basketball eliminations for fraternity teams were near completion as the seven leagues prepared for the playoffs after spring vacation. In the next to the final evening, Sigma Phi Epsilon started the ball rolling as they took over Phi Sig ma Kappa No. 2 by 29 to 11.-Hank Baierl paced the winning SPE’s with 10 points while Bob Arnold played a bang-up game for the losers. Besides scoring eight tal lies, Arnold, through versatile playing, succeeded in tossing a scare into the winners as he and his teammates threatened to come from behind several times. In another opening game, Sigma Pi No. 2, paced, by Riordan, Lam mey and Fritzges, overwhelmed Phi Delta Theta No. 2 by a 30 to 9 count. One of the league leaders, Sigma Pi, showed plenty of power and is a sure bet for the playoffs. With Jim Drylie and Ken Edgar rolling up 15 points, Phi Kappa Sigma walloped Phi Delta Theta No. 1 by a 21 to 7 score in a game that showed plenty of action. In one of the closest games the league has seen for some time, Sigma Nu outpointed Beta Sigma Rho, 22 to 19. Ross of the losers was high scorer with nine points while Wolfkiel paced the winners with eight markers. Two Theta Xi teams advanced in league standings when Alpha Kappa Pi and Delta Sigma Pi for feited. In another forfeit Delta Upsilon won over Tau Kappa Ep silon No. 2, also Sigma Pi No. 1 over Tau Kappa Epsilon No. 1. In a non-league game, a fast Navy team overcame Sigma Alpha Epsilon by the lopsided score of 19 to 9. Williams with 9 and Borton with 6 were high scorers for the winning five. According to Lee Reinheimer ’44, IM basketball prexy, the win ning teams of each league will en gage in the Shaughnessy playoff Tankers; Hospital Bobby Cowell and Bill Christy were in the infirmary last night, and at least three other varsity swimmers are recovering from a minor flu epidemic which has swept through the tank squad, since their return from New York State on Sunday. It is possible that Christy may not be discharged from the Col lege hospital by this afternoon for the Lions’ meet with Temple in. Glennland Pool at 4 p.m., but Coach Bob Galbraith is hoping that the star backstroker, Bobby Cowell, will be in shape for at least one event. Juve Goes to Army Another bit of hard luck to hit the squad was the calling up of Walt Juve, breaststroke artist, by the Army ski troops. Juve is scheduled to leave school immedi ately following today's meet, thus preventing him from competing in the Rutgers swim here on Satur day. With this situation facing the Lion squad, last night’s time trials were indefinite, and it is probable that the lineup will not be known, until just before the meet. Beckett was named to pair tip with unbeaten Rocky Young in the dives, replacing Russ Cline, who was one of the Lion divers in the Cornell-Syracuse meets last week. Starling Lineup Indefinite Hershfield is the probable choice for one of the lOOyatd freestyle spots, and Chovet may see action in the 50-yard freestyle events. Don Knoll is the certain number one man from Penn State for the 220 freestyle post, while all other assignments will be de termined this afternoon. Temple Winner of Five Temple’s tank team, after losing to Navy in the season’s opener, scuttled Lehigh, LaSalle, Fordham, West Chester, and Manhattan by wide margins. The Manhattan squad was the latest victim of the Owls. Letterman Bill Robinson and freshman Frankie Harter form the nucleus of the Temple team, with, speedy time in nearly every event. system. These games will start immediately after vacation and promise a fine program for Penn State sports fans. ADMISSION S3J(S page nmm
