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.
