Portman Paget, star of the Arthur Miller drama, will have stage fright! Although such a statement is akin to forecasting a yea vote by Vishinsky in the next Security Council meeting, there's nothing less than the word of the veteran performer himself to substantiate "I always get stage fright on opening night," Paget said. What makes this just a trifle unusual is that when "Sons" opens Thursday night in Schwab auditorium it will be the red-haired actor's 22nd performance before State College audiences.

Gets Stage Fright After 22 Performances in addition to three performances with the Town and Nine Players, local State College stock company, this past summer. Pioneer of Stock Company Incidentally -both he and Fran cine Toll, who plays one of the female leads in "All My Sons", were pioneers in the Town and Nine group, first stock company in the history of this Centre county borough. Even before he arrived at the College, however, Paget had had considerable experience at acting. Starting in grammar school melo dramas, he advanced to high school productions, a lead in the Harrisburg Community theater production of "State Door", and then Penn State where he's been since 1944 with the exception of a year's vacation at Fort Knox under the auspices of the War De partment.

Obis& Nog is as asasissaig 5000 Fans Expected At Lion Cage Battle Tonight is the big night as far as collegiate basketball at Pees State is concerned as the high-flying Red Raiders of Colgate invade the Rec Hall sanctums to battle an underdog Nittany Lion quintet. They'll literally be hanging from the beams as approximate], 5,000 wild-eyed fans are expected to jam every available inch at space of the gym for the 8 o'clock game. The varsity game will be Traffic Cases Jam Tribunal With more than 60 campus traf , fice offenses marked up in the week before the Christmas re cess, Tribunal will handle the largest number of cases at a time during its entire history in sev eral scheduled sessions next week. A total of 72 cases of first of fenses will come before the group, which has scheduled three sit tings next week.

Ski Authority Presents Film John Jay, America's official olympic photographer, will pre sent "Skis Over Europe," his color film and commentary 5m the Winter Olympic Games, in the high school auditorium at 8 p.m. Tuesday. This program, sponsored by the Penns Valley Ski Club, is the third which John Jay has pre sented to the College in as many years. Jay, who is also an author, Rhodes Scholar, and a former member of The March of Time, is one of the few photographers in the world who has filmed crack skiers while himself mov ing on skis at top speed. "Skis Over Europe" includes all phases of tie Winter Olympic Games from suspense packed bobsledding at speeds which cause temporary blackouts to the graceful performances of Dick Continued on page two modest, unassuming young man (reading this article will probably make him blush-, but once he gets behind the footlights, lo and be hold, a complete transformation takes place• He loses himself com pletely in whatever he is slated to perform at the moment. Plays Old Man For those students who have never seen the versatile actor be fore, "All My Sons" should be a revelation. In this post-war drama of a munitions profiteer "Port" portrays Joe Keller, an aged plant owner. Watching him in rehearsals the other night I got the feeling I was actually watching an old man wander around the stage' - rather than a 24 year old graduate as sistant of dramatics. Paget is also highly thought of by Director Warren Smith and the other members of the cast showing he is definitely not the prima donna type. "He is an excellent actor, one • the best I've arm washed via." PRICE FIVE CENTS the only tilt on tap for the ewe ring. Lion Coach John Lawther cell hope to have his dribblers "up* for the game, as his great charges are conceded little chance to upturn the strong Hamilton, N. Y., team. Lawther realizes that a defeat of the red-clad warriors by the State hosts could turn the fray into one of the most surprie. ing upsets of the season. NOT OVER-CONFIDENT Karl Lawrence, the Red Raider strategist, aware that the Lion team, until now a reticent beast at most, could change its spots and become a killer, will bring his crew of hoop - happy au tomatons from New York into the' Nittany Valley in a far from over-confident mood. The Raiders will be looking forward to adding win No. 5 to its present four and four record at the expense of the Lions. All eyes will be focused on Canadian - born Ernie Vande weghe, Colgate's All - American center, who currently is king of the big college scoring parade with 130 points. Last year the 6-foot 3-inch center scored 356 markers during the sea— n to place fifth among leading scorers of the nation. With only a quarter of the 1948-49 season completed, Ham ilton's star center has already scored 1137 points in his first three seasons, and holds prac tically every individual Colgate scoring record. Many times a four and four record isn't much to brag about, but when the losses were ac crued from such worthy ac counts the caliber of Illinois (77-54 and 85-55), Minnesota (72-48), in the rugged "Big 9" cir cuit, and a surprise (57-48) defeat by Cornell, one must hold dr judgment. DEFEAT N.Y.U. The Red Raiders hold wins over Toronto University (99-30), N.Y.U. (64-63), in Madison Square Garden, Western Reserve; (77-72), and Boston University) (74-52). Another All-American possi bility, co-captain Ed Brett, will start at one of the forwards spots. The 5-foot 11-inch senior placed third on Colgate's scoring list last year with 197 points. Brett rates high in Lawther's book as being a dead one-handed artist from the outside. Teaming with Brett at the other frontcourt spot will be Curt Continued on page three Smith commented about his cur rent protoge. "He is extremely flexible in the matter of roles he can portray. I predict a great future for him on the legitimate stage." Despite the fact that the "Joe Keller" of "Sons" has had far more experience than any other mem ber of the cast, he works as hard or harder to perfect his part than any of the other players. This is particularly true in the matter at detail. He labors excessively to bring every part of his role to absolute perfection. Logs Acting One of the chief reasons for ail this extra labor is his intense love of acting. Paget's burning desire, once he obtains his master's de gree in June, is to act; Broadway, Hollywood, or Podunk—it doesn't seem to matter too much. The tried and true Playess" veteran summed it all up in three words when he was asked whit he thought about acting. GOO* Paset I Jam le
