SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1949 Between The Lions. • By Tom Morgan SPORTS EDITOR On Type Lice Type lice are peculiar insects. These hard-to-see bugs inhabit secluded corners of print shops where daily rags like the Daily Collegian are assembled. If frequenting dark corners of print shops were their only activity, these lice (scientific name Etaoin Shrdlu) would be passed off as innocuous. But that's not the case. Through insidious forays into the workings of the shop, they eat up strategic lead supplies and chew on paper. One of their most appalling acts is the actual trans planting of letters, of words, of lines of type, or of entire para graphs after the page for that day's paper is "locked up." Thus, after the sports editor, for example, is 'sure the day's news is ready to hit the press in good order, his page is still vulnerable to an attack of type lice. Most flagrant result of type lice warfare this year was the underline to a picture of Bob Higgins, Nittany football coach. Tne lice changed it to: "Boob Higgins." Many lesser tragedies have occurred, too. One of these was the transposing of the `p un c h paragraph" yesterday .from the end to a spot five-sixths of the way through a column on Dennie Hoggard by Elliot Krane, football scrivener. Krane was last seen writing feverishly to some lice extermi nation outfit in Kalamazoo. Cagers a la Grid On the roster of the State Col lege Newman Club basketball team is a veritable Penn State football eleven. Ex-Lion lineman Leo Nobile is coach and has as starters Owen Dougherty and Johnny Chuckran a t forwards, Sam Tamburo at center, Don "Duck" Murray and Danny Kline at guards. Paul Kelly is man ager of the squad. Substitutes for the Newman court team include Fran Rogel, Elwood Petchel, Bill "Rip" Scherer, Tony Shumskas, Ray Hedderick and John Finley. We asked Manager Paul Kelly about the success of the team. He replied: "Moderate." Lacrosse Squad Schedules 9 Games; Plays 5 at Home The 1949 Penn State varsity lacrosse team has scheduled nine games, including three frays on the Lion home grounds. A four-game card has been prepared for the State jayvee squad. Newcomers to this season's Nittany schedule include Western Maryland, Washington and Lee, and Virginia. The three Southern schools take the place of Drexel Tech, Cornell and Army. State's stickmen will encounter the University of Pennsylvania in their first scrap April 13. Last year, in attaining a final six-and three record, the Lions swamped Penn, 13-4.

Earlier this year the Hoyas de feated the Centre County colic lians, 49-41, on the Georgetown floor in Washington, D. C. As usual, State's two dynamic playmakers, Joe Tocci and Si mon, will open at the guard spots. Marty Costa, a junior, will be on the center line with Lou Lamie and either Ruhlman or Jack Storer at the frontcourt positions.

The Penn State-to-New York Signs Point to Tight EIWA Race Next week's Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association tournament at Ithaca, N.Y., should undoubtedly be one of the closest team races in its history. Four teams—Lehigh, the defending champion, Syracuse, Navy and Franklin and Marshall—ap pear to have the best chance of copping the coveted team trophy. However, Penn State, Cornell and Princeton have squads that are capable of upsetting the dope chart. Bobbie Schell, at 121 pounds, and Stan Mousetis, 128-pounder, of F&M; Lehigh's Dick Kelsey, 136 pounds; Pas Perri, Syracuse 165-pounder, and Jim Jackson, 175-pounder from Lehigh, will defend their titles against strong opposition. Also vying for individual weight crowns are Army's Ralph Raabe, the injured Wayne Smith of Navy and Ed Ericson of Le high, all former champs. Raabe captured the 121-pound diadem in 1947 and was second to Mousetis in the 128-pound class last year. COLEGO Smith won the 136-pound title in 1947 but was upset in the semi-finals last year by Joe Golego, of F&M. The Navy cap-. tain may not be on hand at the EIWA's because of an injury which has kept him inactive throughout the season. Ericson, winner at 165 pounds in 1947, will again face his old nemesis in Perri, of Syracuse. Only last week, Perri took a 9-2 decision from the Lehigh captain.

That same John Smiciansky season, came through with the ci minute to go in the final stanza broke the back of a belated TKE' rally and gave Sigma Nu a 10-8 triumph. Pi Kappa Alpha's triumph hung on the merits of one field goal also. With 30 second to go. and his mates yelling "freeze the ball," Tom Karolchik, Pi KA forward, upped a one-hand shot,. and scored.
