The Corner unusual FRIDA - t, AUGUST 24, 1945 Rec Hall's 'Oscar' Outfits Athletes If someone would ask you, "Who is Oscar?", chances are that you would search your mind and final ly arrive at the conclusion that he was referring to the gold statuettes given to the Motion Picture Acad emy Award winners. But to coaches, athletes, managers, or anyone else who frequents the dark recesses of Recreation Hall, "Oscar" is Oscar Buchenhorst, stockroom manager for all sports. Oscar's work is to supply and outfit candidates for the various teams and to see that they get to the coaches. In carrying out his job he naturally comes in contact with and gets to know practically all the athletes that have been at the College since he took over his 'duties in 1942. 'He knows them not as great stars or players, but as men, their character and habits. "After seeing so many boys off and on theifield I can truthfully say that Penn State boasts of gen tleman athletes. Of course there are a few who were 'bad boys,' but they were fortunately in the ex treme minority. I think this is one reason why State has had success ful teams." Among sports, Oscar has no favorites; he likes them equally. As for knowing rules of sports, he is concerned only with those per taining to equipment and supplies. At present most of his time is de voted to the Nittany football squad, and he makes no bones about the matter when he says that football is the hardest job of all the sports. In his background position, the overseer of equipment haS' a chance to observe such things as the spirit of the players besides their temperament. "Lion athletes usually have the get-tip-and-go that helps put out a winning club. But, of course, spirit alone cannot turn the trick. However, if the fellows have the spirit, win or lose, they make the game more enjoyable for them selves." Oscar likes his job as he likes sports.and working with the boys. :He says that nothing gives him more satisfaction than to see a squad all working for the interest of the team and doing a good job. Storeroom manager, yes, but one with a philosophy; '9Do your best all the time and you will never do wrong." Cheerleader Tryouts . Tryouts for men cheerleaders will be held in front of Old Main at 7 p. m. Monday, announced Dick Griffiths, cheerleader. Both upperclassmen and freshmen are urged to try out. Pvt. Larry Joe, the original GI Joe of Penn State football, is still cutting capers overseas. His ser vices are eagerly sought by of ficer-coaches of all athletic teams at the American Army base in Neustadt, Germany.
