PAGE FOUR Watch on the Shrine The recently appearing news item that former Lawthermen John Rusinko and Bruce "Nick" Diettrick played a large part in the Sun'busy professional basketball club's new scoring record stimulated an investigation into the extent of Dormer Lion athletes now cavort ing in greener flacks. Basketball, baseball and football are the sports which tend to attract ex-Blue and White performers, with quite a few listed among the playing mernkers of various 'teams. I T , addition, numerous "S" winners are currently engaged in coaching, which technically may be termed professionalism. Rusinko, who bolted the Lion cagers for the pay-for-play game, began the court season very energetically, playing for Sunbury of the Eastern Pro League as Rusinko, and at the same time for Wilkes- Barre of the more advanced American League as Rushinko. This was later discovered and Johnny had to solo with Sun bury, where he emerged as the league's leading scorer. Rusinko pushed 397 points through the hoop and was runner-tip to Harris burg's Joe Cackovic, an athlete who will be remembered as the center on the Lion freshman grid team of 1941. Rusinko, now a forward, netted 24 points in Sunbury's record-breaking 94-80 win over Lancaster. Playing for Lancaster in the same circuit is Walt Funk, '44 and '45 Lion, while Whitey Von Nelda, a Lancaster ace last year and one of the finest eagers ever to don the Blue and White, has moved up several notches and its now the sparkplug of Moline, Illinois, in the Past--moving league which includes Minneapolis, Sheboygan, Oshkosh and others. Von Neida set the Eastern Pro-League record last, sea son when he racked up 682 points in 30 games. Whitey also holds the league's single game high, 46 counters. Lengthy Herb Currie is currently a member of the Harrisburg pro club, while '4l captain Johnny Barr and '42-'43 flash Herk Balti more are both big guns on the Wilkes-Barre quintet. These two performed last year for the St. Louis Bombers. In baseball, ex-Lion most in the limelight is temperamental Joe repelc, the speedy tailback of '45 and long-ball slugger of the same season. Tepsic's colorful career has moved him from Brookly n to St. Paul and down to Fort Worth of the Texas League. Brooklyn Dodger boss Branch Rickey placed Tepsic in the papers not too long ago with his idea of making Joe a football Dodger, thereby getting a little re turn on his costly investment. Last year's ace hurler, Kenny Yount, twirled a number of games Mr the Inter-State loop's Harrisburg Senators, where he had been optioned by the Cleveland Indians following his acceptance of their bonus offer. Ken became known as a hard luck pitcher at Harrisburg, when he lost quite a few one-run contests via his teammates' errors. Oggie Martella, boxer, gridder, baseballer, will go back to the pennant-winning Utica Eastern Leaguers where he'll catch again for the Philadelphia PhiThies' farm. Chuck MacFarland, who held down the initial sack for last year's Bedenkmen, will undergo a tryout with he Albany Senators. Pittsburgh FOOTBALL The grid sport houses a large number of former Higginsmen. Heading the list is Bill "Red" Moore, 1946 leader who secured a berth on the National Football League's first team in his initial season with Jock Sutherland's Steelers. Red reputedly drew only about $3,000 last year, consider ably less than the rumored $7,000 which his running mate, Notre Dame's John Mastrangelo, drew for the other guard Other Sutherlandmen are able end Bob Davis, terminal on the '42 Warriors of Nittany, and vet eran center Chuck Cherundolo. Cherundolo has again gone on rec ord saying this season will be his last. Bronco Kosanovich was farmed out by Pittsburgh to the Richmond Colts, but will be up for another try with the Smoky Cityites this summer; along with him should be Steve Suhey and perhaps Johnny Potsklan, both long subjects of Sutherland scru tiny. Leo Nobile, now back on cam pus for a semester, had a very successful year as a Washington Redskin. Former Redskin Johnny sTaffurs will go in - to his second year as a coaching staff member at Washington and Lee. Ex-Lion Bernie Broskie was farmed out by Washington last fall. 1942 center, Lou Palazzi, is also a temporary student at the Col lege ,and will go back to the New York Pro Giants for another year, come last summer. Palazzi may be joined by another Nittany man, Johnny "Shag" Wolosky, on whom Scout Steve Owen has cast his eyes.

There's such a thing as being too darned good! And I don't mean her/I holy, either. You can be so capable that everybody will delightedly let you do all the work. It saves so much time. You always do it right. You can be so dependable that your friends will treat you like tile Rock of Gibraltar. You're always where you're sup posed to be. Everyone else can relax...you have the situa tion under control. You always have the best ideas. You're always in the mood to launch excitement. You're president of most everything... and chairman of the rest. You're Miss Big! But it can be very lonely out there in front. Miss Bigs get themselves so involved with things and projects...that they haven't time for people. Their big busyness offers stiff competition to the boys. It's worth a life to 'get a date with a girl who's contilimed by committees. It's futile for a mere male to make an impres• sion on such a powerhouse. It's too much to hope that Miss Big can have all this...and love, too. So she goes places with boys site invites. Ordinary mortals feel like the tail of her comet. They don't want it said that they tag Miss Big to bask in her reflected glory. Lots of girls leave the leader alone ...and make their intimates among her other followers. Miss Big knows every. body...but pals with no one. Hark to this wee voice pleading "don't be too good". Leave a few chinks in your armor. Let there be something someone else can do better than you can. Just to prove you're human ...and not a miracle woman. So you call feel affection.. instead of awe. Take time out to be fragile and feminine. So you'll have an escape ladder... when you're feeling too solitary up there on !,uur pedestal !
