Hoopslers Divide
In Weekend Tilts
On Enemy Courts
Unbeaten Colgate Bows;
Orange Emerges Victor
A weekend visit to New York
State proved very remunerative
to the Penn State basketball
team as it squeezed by a prev
iously undefeated Colgate five,
36-35 and then traveled to Syra
cuse to drop a 49-43 decision to
the top ranking Orangemen.
The fifth highest ranking team
in the nation, West Virginia, will
descend upon the Lions Wednes
day night in a contest billed as
“offense vs. defense."
Even though the Lawthermen
didn’t defeat Syracuse, the slight
six-point difference in the, final
score was far from the pre-game
ratings of the two opponents.
Syracuse, which placed second in
the West Coast Tourney two
weeks ago, was predicted to
swamp the Lions. Colgate held
an unmarred record before meet
ing the Nittanymen, and the two
Empire State games gave Lawth
er’s team prestige in the New
York basketball circles.
In last Friday’s tilt, Jack Biery
and Irv Batnick kept the Lawth
ermen in the game by scoring 15
and 12 points respectively. The
battle was a very closely matched
affair with Penn State holding a
slim 19-17 m'argin at half-time.
BATNICK COUNTERS
Both teams built up their
scores but neither was able to go
ahead until, with three minutes
to go, Irv Batnick dropped a two
pointer. From there until the
final whistle, the Lawthermen
controlled the game to emerge
with the slim 36-35 margin of
victory.
A battle of foul shots was
played Saturday when the Blue
and White met Syracuse. Both
teams scored the same number
of goals from the floor, but the
seventeen free throws sunk by
the Syracuse squad gave it the
necessary points for. a win.
Although the half-time count
was 24-21 in favor of the home
team, the flashy floor play of Bill
Gabor and the 6-8 height of cen
ter Royce Newell enabled Coach
Andreas’ team to double the lead
at the last whistle.
Again it was Jack Biery who
led Coach Lawther’s cagers in
their attempt to down the Syra
cuse five. Jack scored 19'points
and Milt Simon followed with 11.
Four IM Fives

NCAAAdopts
Purity Code
The National Collegiate Ath
letic Association at its annual
l meeting in New York City last
week adopted a strict “sanity
code” to purify college athletics
by defining sounder amateur
principles and by limiting finan
cial aid to athletes.
Penn State, one of the 275
member schools of the NCAA,
was represented at the meeting
by Carl P. Schott, dean otf the
School of Physical Education:
Franklin L. Bentley, chairman of
the senate committee on athletics;
and Harold Gilbert, graduate
manager of athletics.
The five principles in the "san
ity code” which will govern the
member schools are:
1— Strict amateurism. College
athletes may not he paid.
2 Institutional control and re
sponsibility for correct con
duct.
3 Sound academic standards
for all students, including
athletes.
4 Limited financial aid, pub
licized and based on scholar
ship.
5 Limited recruiting. Athletic
staffs shall not solicit stu
dents with offers of finan
cial aid.
Putting teeth into the code, the
NCAA voted to have two enforce
ment committees. The first, a
Constitutional Committee which
will interpret the code for doubt
ful members and attempt enforce
ment. The second, a Fact Finding
Committee, which will investigate
violators and recommend sus
pensions.
asked about the College’s chances
for placing men on the team the
track coach commented, ‘Many
schools would be content to have
lust one man on the team, but
there are quite a few runners
right here on the campus who
have a possibility of making the
trip to London.
“It’s too early to make any pre
dictions. so the best thing to do is
to watch the Penn State track
team this winter and spring when
things will start to get hot as the
finals draw near,”
