About Mousetraps
Larry Layman, our admir
ing fraternity brother, sug
gested we explain the term
"mousetrap," footballistically,
for non-"experts" to sop up.
We questioned whether he re
ferred to us as an "expert" on
gridiron matters (which certainly
ain't so). But anyway, here's our
definition of the term:
"Mousetrap" merely means that
a hole is created for an over
anxious opposing lineman who
dashes in to stop a play and is
promptly grounded by a defense
man. Such ingenious subtlety
then leaves an opening for the
ball carrier.
Teapot Tempest
Shifting the scene to Syra
cuse ,we learn that things are
stirring. We quote Larry Rob
inson of the New York World-
Telegram:
"Syracuse University football
is due for an overhauling or, at
least, considerable soul-search
ing by university authorities.
"Prior to absorbing its seventh
straight defeat, the latest at the
hands of ancient rival Colgate
last Saturday, a situation that
had been seething for some time
started to erupt. Two prominent
groups, one of them the august
board of trustees of the Univer
sity, appointed committees to
took into the football program
From front office to water pail."
Then Robinson pointed out
7pecific charges that Syracuse
'las attracted "a number of
, Inetime scholastic stars who
disappear into an athletic
vacuum atop Piety Hill,' and
hat "Bernie Custis, sensational
ophomore passer, is so dissat
'sfied he plans to switch to
?enn State at the end of the
semester."
'4g Comments
That stopped us short, so we
aced to Rec Hall where Nittany
",oath Bob Higgins and his lieu
enants hold sway in the Foot
'loll Office. Lest the grapevine
surgeon to the point that "Custis
Vill Lead Lions in '50," the Hig
- 'revailed upon us to quote him
husky:
"We don't want Bernie Cus
'is to come to Penn State. Ath
"etic friendship between the
two schools has always been
mod, and we want to keep it
that way. If Custis were to
transfer, it would only cause
friction.
"We have never contacted
Custis and wouldn't know him
if we saw him now. The closest
we ever got to hime was the time
he ra nout of bounds in the State-
Syracuse game.
"Custis should remain at Syr
acuse. That's where he belongs
and we hope he'll stay."
All of which states in no
uncertain terms that the Hig
doesn't want Custis.

On Fungicides Out
Volume II of a "Catalogue of
Insecticides and Fungicides" by
Dr. Donald E. H. Frear, research
er in agriculture bio-chemistry.
is now available from the print
ers, Chronica Bontanica Compa
ny, and is on sale at bookstores.
Volume I was published in De
cember, 1947, and has attained
wide use in the manufacture of
this type of agricultural chem
icals. It consists of a printed vers
ion of a list of materials entered
in approximately 10,000 indexed
cards, so arranged that they may
be mechanically sorted into vari
ous associated groups. All chem
icals of known usefulness or of
tested insecticidal or fungicidal
value have been included.
Scientists and students are
being aided by this work since
these volumes provide a quick
means of evaluating chemicals in
the continuous search for better
materials in the war against crop
pestilence. In like manner, com
mercial concerns are being helped
to manufacture better products.
This catalog representing years
of collection and correlation of
pertinent chemical data, will
allow the search for insecticides
and fungicides to become system
atic and more direct in the ful
fillment of current needs.
This compilation is being con
tinued and more material will be
added as the usefulness of chem
icals develops, Dr. Frear in
dicated.
Conference Discusses
