There is a peculiar sort of game played today, the main purpose being Cto the average onlooker) to give the opponent a murderous °n some part of the body and skip away in possession of a little ball. This nonpareil among athletic encounters goes under the abo riginal jawbreaker of Baggataway, originally played by the proud Redman in his forest primeval. Today the sport has been refined and the French-Canadian monicker substituted. At Penn State, where each year it is becom ing more popular, there is no inclination to “Give it back to the Indians. Combining the ruggedness of football, the speed of a ping pong game, the agility of a Nijinski and the all-around coordination of a pin ball expert, lacrosse is being rapidly transformed into one of the greatest spring attractions at the College. Again, as ever since 1913, Penn State is represented by large varsity and jayvee squads whose training is regarded to be gen erally as taxing as football. Once again the lacrossemen, garbed in uniforms just as costly but far less heavy than grid armor, whack and smack each other until the traditional Lion Blue and White is transposed into varying shades of black and blue. For the bug-eyed bleacherite who doesn’t ken the sport, here’s how the game is played. Two ten-man teams line up for the referee’s inspection. Each man carries an ash stick which has a scoop-shaped net woven of raw hide, the pockets varying in size from 12 inches for goalies to six inches in width for attack men. GAME'S OBJECT To accomplish this, the play . , ers tear up and down a 110-yard field between gas-pipe framed goals set 80 yards apart. They rush with the ball cradled in the strings of their crosses, passing to each Continued on page four Bill Ashenfelter, a brother of Horace, Penn State’s two-mile champion, is improving rapidly over the mile route.
