By RUBE FALOON
—Sports Writer—
Philosophy has its place in this
world, but hardly on the sports
pages of a da ; ly newspaper.
However, wa would like to lake
:ihis opportunity as guest column
iat for the Collegian to express a
low half-cooked thoughts on the
)'-enn State sporting scene. At the
present time we are all living to a
Certain extent on borrowed time
r.'id therefore it is all the more
fitting to appreciate the efforts be
ing made to give us sports in these
hist few months at Penn State.
Neil Fleming has done every
i. iing but carry teams piggyback
t i got them to outside athletic
<■ attests on time and coaches, al
i nough harassed by overnight
journeys in day coa'ches, have kept
, • certain amount of calm and con
tinued the Penn State tradition of
having sporting sports teams—no
peanuts a la Lawther or outside
1 1 lent for Paul Campbell.
On iirst glance these efforts
don't seem 100 important but we
would like to lake this chance to
line up with Ihe fellows who stick
up for sporls every day and twice
ni; hard on Sunday.
Sports give you a philosophy
hint can be gained in no other
place. Some of its critics have
< intended that during wartime you
should forget sports because wars
aren't fought according to EIBA,
114-A, Queensbury, or Culbertson
j ules. but we would like to lift our
"One Small Voice” to the crowd
end disagree.
‘Maybe it's an Horatio Alger
hook that has stuck with us in our
{roubles and travels for the past
low years, but we wonder if the
cot of discarding those principles
doesn't appear wrong in that il
will affect our post-war philoso
) ihy.
Our own sentiments on it are
probably similar to the thoughts
that went through the minds of
the Roman gladiators who fought
(o the death as a sport. They
didn’t hate their opponent because
he was Sicilian, Moorish, or He
brew, nor did they learn* the use
of up-to-date weapons because of
their dislike for their opponents,
rather because their battle meant
ilie death of one or the other.
'We, the-American youth, must
r ; o into the arena in the near fu
lure to face an opponent of an
other race or nationality and yet
we should not hate him for his
color or his bearing. We are to
k;arn the rudiments of modern!
warfare in order to kill, but if we
Hale we are killing our own spirit
and forming a bitter spirit in its
) O.ace that no type of sport will
rosurrect.
Rather we must go into .that
arena with the full knowledge that
cither can win"and that the oppo
nent will use foul methods and
learn to win the hard way. To re
peat a trite phrase, “We must
win,” and yet as future builders
we must come out of the arena
confident that our methods were
fair and straight.
Sports themselves are going into
the arena these days against pow
erful foes, and, although they are
frequently coming out quite bat
•.lared, they are still coming out.
Baseball, football, track, basket
ball. tennis, boxing, wrestling, and
hundreds of other games have all
? aken a shellacking, but they will
continue to exist even if it takes
fire five-year-olds to keep them
poing.

Lo Meet Cadets
Lions Gunning for
Third Win of Season
Eleven Lion gymnasts will leave

matches for both teams this sea

Penn State, undefeated in two
meets so far this year, and Army,
never beaten on home grounds
since Navy turned the trick in
1932, will battle it out Saturday
afternoon to see who will claim
the league crown.
Look for Third Win
The Lions, who took the league
title last year, will be looking for
ward to their third win of the 1943
season. The Cadets, beaten only
by Temple this season, will try
to add Penn State to their list of
victims which numbers two so far
this year.
Although the Blue and White
has never defeated Army at the
Point, their 27-27 tie last year
proves that the Cadets will' have
no pushover when they take the
floor against the well balanced
Lions on Saturday.
Penn Staie Lineup
Coach Wettstone’s lineup for the
Cadet -meet will include Bordo,
Sorenson and Lebow on the hori
zontal bar; Teti, Small and Bordo
on the parallel bar; Greenly, Teti
and Small on the side horse; Small,
Sorenson and Bonsall on the rings;
Wirtschafter, Young and Lebow on
the ropes; and Bonsall, Frey and
Meade on the tumbling mats.
Greenly, replacing Sorenson on
the horse, will be breaking into
the starting lineup for the first
time this season.
Cadets' Best
The Pointers will present their
best with McGee on the ropes, Ed
Watkins on the rings, Schatz and
Reed on the horizontal bar, Toth
on the side horse, and M. Martin
on the mats.
Next week the Lions meet the
Temple Owls at Philadelphia, and
on 'March 13 will entertain league

Rec Hall.

(Continued from Page One)
with plenty of hard fighting un
der the basket, came up with 12
points before he was taken out of
the game on fouls two-thirds of
the way through the second half.
Baltimore came nearer to his
last year’s form in this game than
he has so far this season by tally
ing 11 of the Lions’ points to place
second for Blue and White Scoring
honors.
High man for the Owls was for
ward Jack McLaughlin, who came
out of the fray with 12 points to
his credit. The Lions successfully
bottled up Owl freshman forward
Bobb, high scorer for the Phila
delphia- team so far this season.
An improved team over the one
the Blue and White beat in Philly
six weeks ago, the Owls showed
some fairly stiff competition last
night.
