THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1948 Between Lions L-Sst Bt Tom Morgan SPORta EDITOR Shades of Acuff Not to detract from the esteem in which we hold Andy Kerr as a banquet speaker and- cracker jack story teller, but the high point of Tuesday night’s football banquet to us was Owen “Onions” Dougherty’s tear-jerk ing rendition of a hillbilly ditty called “Sweeter Than a Flower.” The left-handed sophomore pastor (and tenor) on the grid squad led his mates in singing the ballad, to the pleasure of all present in the Nillany Lion Inn. What Material! When the 1948 football letter men left the banquet hall to elect a ’49 captain, Andy Kerr, who is currently football mentor at little Lebanon Valley College, glanced over the football talent still in the room and said to Toastmaster Jim Coogan: "Gosh, it'd be swell if we Just had at Lebanon Valley the boys who are left in this room." From the Morg(ue) It took just 10 minutes for Lion grid lettermen to choose Negley Norton and Bob Hicks next year’s co-captains . . . First official task of the pair was to lead the banquet gathering in a College song . Pitt Honors 3 Nittanymen Pittsburgh’s ’4B football team placed three members of this years Nittany squad on its all-op ponent team, released this week. Collier’s All-America ‘ winner Sam Tamburo was chosen for one of the end posts, while Joe Dra zenovich received the nod at one guard post and Franny Rogel gained a backfleld position. It was Rogel who almost single-handed ly ruined the Panther forward wall before the interception by Tackle Nick Bolkovac upset an undefeated season. Other positions on the team were awarded to Leon Hart of Notre Dame at the other end, Phil O’Reilly of Purdue and Bill Fischer of Notre Dame at the ' tackles, Dave Templeton of Ohio State at the other guard and Angie Carnaghi of Purdue 9 t the center post. Joining Rogel in the backfleld were Harry Szulborski of Pur due, George Taliaferro of In diana and All-America Doak Walker of Southern Methodist. aw* n il i # i ~cr she didn't get UOU4WOOT HOLE-PROOF SOCKS ann'l just beautiful —they wear and wear and wear.

C., as American University broke its winless court jinx over Penn State’s cagers by scoring a 59-55 triumph. It was Staff Cassell, Eagle mentor who learned all the tricks of the zone from John Lawther, who returned to haunt his former pro fessor. Cassell, who got his master’s degree at the College, sent Leroy ‘lsh’ Ishman under the State basket and the 6-foot-4- inch sophomore personally ripped the noted Lawther zone to shreds. 29 POINTS Recipient of his mates’ bullet like passes, Ishman turned into a one-man riot from his below-the bucket perch. Using his 200- pound brawn to good advantage, the curly-haired guard dumped the amazing total of 29 points through the hoops. Uiltil the final quarter, the Centre County Collegians made a game fight of it, but two head shots in the final heat by Fred Fling, and the sparkling- all around play of Ed Moffat, gave the 1948-’49 Nittany court troupe its second jolt of the season. Milt Simon, still hobbling with a charleyhorse, dominated the State ball handling play on the hardwood, but four fouls in the first half necessitated his taking it easy the final two quarters. ‘Little Joe’ Tocci, State’s most competent scorer in its first two games, came through with a va riety of one-hand shots to rack up 13 points. Silent Will Park hill, rounding rapidly into ex pected form, clicked for 12 tal lies, and Terry Ruhlman, play ing after only two weeks prac tice, garnered 7 digits. THE LINEUP American V.

Doran Lee, Alpha Tau Omega, and George Mitchell, Lambda Chi Alpha, slinging power-laden fists that would have stopped a horse, waded through three rounds of right thuds pierced with splatting left jabs before Lee grabbed the decision and found himself pointing to the finals. Only one TKO victory was registered but five decision wins kept the crowd at a feverish pitch all night.
