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.

Oppose Eagles
Penn State's basketball team
will have the rare opportunity of
stretching its current win streak
to two games today at 8 p.m.
when he Lions encounter Ameri
can University in a Rae hall
battle.
Since meeting State the last
time, the high-flying Eagles have
amassed a record of 15 wins
against 6 losses. The Lions' re
cent 49-38 decision over Pitt gave
them their fourth win in twelve
outings.
In their initial s c 1.5!m mage
against the Lions in Washington,
D. C., the Eagles came out vic
torious, 59-55.
Ronnie Gershag, 6-foot 6-inch
center, will lead Coach Staff Cas
sell's contingent against State.
The much-improved pivot man is
pacing American U. scorers with
259 points in 21 games.
Not easily forgotten, either, by
Coach John La wth e r is the
Eagles' 200-pound guard, Leroy
"Ish" Ishman, who systematically
Poured through 29 lounters
afainst the Lions in the Decem
ber tilt.
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.
With increased confidence fol
lowing several fine displays,
rangy Marty Costa should be
ready to assume the whip post
against the Capital City quintet.

Dean Schott said a committee

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.
