Refusal Of March Frosh
Causes Coaches' Comments
What affect will the absence of
high school freshmen in the Spring
semester have upon athletics at
the College? This question has
been asked repeatedly and: in an
effort to obtain an answer, the
Collegian has interviewed a num
ber of the 'coaches to find what
immediate effect they ibelieve it
will have upon the athletic pro
gram.
Carl Schott—Dean of Physical
Education and Athletics
"It will undoubtedly affect the
school of Physical (Education and
Athletics more than any other
school, but as yet we have no in
dication as to what degree we will
be effected.”
Coach Bob Higgins—Football
’'We’ll be set back about three
years in football. We’re going to
miss a lot of good boys that we
had our eye' on. But it’s the only
thing the College could do. We’ve
got to stick by. the Gl’s because
they stuck by us.”
Coach Nick Thiel—Lacrosse
“It probably won’t affect me as
much as. the other sports because
I don’t depend upon experienced
men. I might have boys .coming
back from the service which will
help tide us oyer until February
of 1947 when there might be high
school freshmen entering again.”
Coach Joe Bedenk—Baseball
“There’s no doubt that it will
hinder the school of Physical Edu
cation because the boys fresh' out

of high school have more fire and
more zip than the boys returning.
Some of the ex-Gl’s have lost
their speed and tinting.”
Coach Gene Weilsiorie—Gymnas
tics i
“I don’t think the program will
ever be back to normal untli we
allow the freshmen to compete.
The freshmen have added a lot to
school spirit and cutting out the
freshmen will not ;be inducive to
a good postwar program.”
Coach Leo Houck—Boxing
“It won’t effect boxing because'
we don’t depend upon men with
previous experience. The coming
of Gl’s who have had military ex
perience in sports should help
most of the Penn State athletic
teams.”
Coach Paul Campbell—Wrestling
“Our season will be over and it
probably won’t affect wrestling
this season.”
