TUESDAY, AUGUST H. 190() 'On The Ball' BY RAY KOEHLER Sports Editor When it gets right down to the matter of effort and a con scientious determination to do the best possible job, you can't get away from it—this guy .Dutch Sykes has done a masterful job as Director of the Summer Sessions Recreation Department. They say you can only get as much out of a thing as you put into it. Perhaps that's the reason Penn State officials and students are pointing at the past Summer's energetic program as one of the most successful in the Session's long history. The effervescent Dutchman has accomplished, his job in .a workmanlike manner, and he deserves a big vote of thanks for his, efforts. , But as in almost every success story there is usually one hitch in the load and Sykes finds his chapter no exception. What he regards as one of his most embarrassing moments occured during the recep tion at White Hali. President Eisenhower had graciqusly consented to appear as the guest of honor and mine host. envisioned photographing the new Penn State prexie pose. Catching Dr. Eisen hower unawares; Elie Dutchiiiiii (with flash camera in hand) padded up in his brown crepe brogans with intentions of snapping a portrait picture. As he clicked the shutter—horrors—the-flash bulb blew up in his face. Luckily for ,Dutch, he was not hurt, but the explosion—in addition ;to scaring the daylights out of the assembled. multitude—also scattered glass over everybody with in a four-loot. radius,. including "the startled Mr. Eisenhower. • • • , .

As well as running• What is considered the most productive farm system 'in organized 'baseball, the Brooklyn Dodgers also boast a publicity staff which ranks second to none. Illustrative of the daffi ness boy's public-relations work is their four-page spread concern ing the doingsof baseball's "Bums." Recently eery member. of the Dodgers had his teeth inspected' and collected, rubbed and scrubbed, drilled an filled. Whether this care of their' enamelware will _aid them in the National League "grind" only time will tell. ' Our Bums are back with smiles that lack No dentures with imperfections Their grins betray no tooth decay Impactions or infections. Those x-ray shots uncovered lots And hot the issue waxes That now intrigues the major leagues With oral prophylaxis. With clearer eyes they field their flies And charge the tricky rollers Immune to pain and ache and strain 'With sound and healthy molars The achiing tooth is now forsooth A most unwelcome tenant With baseball teams that cherish dreams Of wrapping up a pennant. So watch and wait. , The hand of fate Is sometimes temperamental Let's cop the flag and then we'll brag For reasons inci-dental.
