I,ll:i)t`Y, FEBRUARY 23, 1949 BOW" The -, ups HyTom Morga SPORTS EDITORn Tooters From the mail bag we pick up a dissertation on Red Mihalik, coked basketball referee, who'll be one-half of the duo working tonight's Lion-American skirmish in Rec Frank Lorence sends in a clip ping from his Ford City news paper, from which we quote: "More than .occasionally, fans have been known to take their oyes off the players just to watch Mihalik's contortions. . . . He calls fouls with more clarity and vividness than he could possibly recite Shake spouse. ... "If the spectators miss noticing Red before he waves the first fouled player to the charity line, they hear him then. For Red makes even the slightest viola tion of the rules sound like a major infraction.. . . "'You pushed him,' he will shout in tones that make the accused hang his head. Just to impress the perpetrator (even more), Red wiggles his right forefinger under the nose of the by-now-meek pusher as if to say, 'For shame, for shame.' 'That may not win friends among the players for the volu ble whistle-tooter, but it cer tainly influences the customers. It leaves them no occasion for second guessing, since Mihalik makes the violation so definite that boos are out of place." Let's add that the grapevine informs us "Red Mihalik, Ref eree" has on occasion been ad vertised in bigger letters than the names of the two com peting teams. We'll look for him tonight.

Last Saturday's welcome vic tory over a good Pittsburgh team was balm for the sore Penn State cagers who, after absorbing eight various and assorted bruises, were due for a break. A majority of State's defeats have been administered in the last stanza, and just when it seemed that history was about to repeat against the Panthers, Lawther shucked the wraps from Lou La mie and the eager sophomore pulled his "Harry Truman" to save the game.

The Warriors, however, cleared up the situation in independent league "C." Going into their Monday night contest with a game and a half advantage, the Warriors made it "no contest" by plastering Watts Stars, 21-11. Howard earned the laurels by Lion Immortals the opinion of a committee on the advisability of hanging the por traits of only those players who met certain requirements agreed on beforehand. "It was the committee's feeling. however, that each case should be considered on its individual merits and that no hard-and-fast rule should be set up in advance." He explained that, of the many all-America selections which are now in vogue, the committee felt that any player named by Col lier's, by Associated Press, or by Grantland Rice, was entitled to top priority and on that basis voted unanimously for Tamburo's inclusion. 124 S.
