TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1950
What is it Joe Bedenk mutters to himself when a group of ele
phantine-broganed soccermen charge across the second base area of
his well-conditioned infield during .a soccer engagement? Who is the
young miss that tennis coach Sherm Fogg is reportedly grooming for
varsity competition? Could Dick Roberts, Michigan State harrier who
was forced to miss the Penn State-Spartan cross-country meet be
cause of the death of his father, ,be a relation to Robin, Phillies' ace
righthander?
How can the judges of the all-American soccer squad miss naming
Nittany booting captain Harry Little for a repeat performance? At the
same time let them cast more than just a casual eye in the direction
of jet-propelled Clarence Buss and the high-scoring Joe Lane.
It's granted that Lou Lamle, smooth Penn State court captain,
is considered one of the most talented feinters in Eastern collegiate
basketball. Still, isn't there the possibility that he could add a few
more points to his tally card if he'd go a bit easy on the whirling
dervish act and drive in for those extra scores? Elmer Gross, head
coach of the Nittany quintet, has said repeatedly that Lou should
be close to a 20-point-a-game man.
Isn't it heartwarming to see Gus Bigott, 32-year-old and a former
all-American soccerman for Penn State in 1938, aiding Coach Bill
Jeffrey successfully celebrate his 25th anniversary here while playing
on a badly calloused foot? What held the cables between State Col
lege and
.West Point together during a vituperative and one-sided
telephone conversation between the Point's head football mentor lied
Blaik and Ridge Riley, College alumni secretary? The conversation
came on the heels of •an article written by Riley in the Penn State
Alumni NeWs in which he criticized as unnecessarily rough Army's
play against the Lions. •
Was Bob Geasy, Temple's public relations man, serious when he
stated that all Temple will have to offer on the court this year will
be Bill Mikvy? We don't think so. Owl coach Josh Cody usually
comes up with a bevy of local Philadelphia high school stars or a
few sleepers from the Pennsylvania coal mining districts. Could
Joe 'Rube, who caught the winning pass in an overtime intramural
touch football game the other night, have been Joe Ruyak, one of
Joe Bedenk's top mound prospects?
Has there been trouble at Syracuse between the Orange gridders
and their star quarterback, Bernie Custis? As we get it, for a week
prior to the Cornell-Syracuse game there was not a single word of
publicity released on the New York State passing whiz. It is also
rumored that Marty Crandell would have done better to have re
mained out of the ring as a heavyweight boxer at Syracuse last year.
The story goes that half the time he was not in condition to be at his
best against such 1950 intercollegiate ring giants as State's Chuck
Drazenovich, Army's Bill Kellum, or Michigan State's Gabby Marek.
Marty is president of the senior class this year.
Is Enrico Rossi, independent swimming star from Hershey
headed for Coach Bill Gutterson's varsity swimming team as a re
sult of his record-breaking intramural breaststroke performances?
Is Joe Tocci, freshman basketball coach, 'still gunning for us as a re
sult of a typographical error which appeared in the Collegian
several days ago? Early this fall a misplaced comma had Al Kawal,
Temple university gfid coach, playing T-formation quarterback for
his team. Shades of Etaoin Shrdlul
Nitiany Frosh Gridders Down
Navy Plebes, 25-20, In 2nd Win
Penn State's freshman gridders
evened their record to two wins
and two losses Saturday by de
feating the tough Navy plebes,

Jones. The play covered 53 yards.

today, Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma
Chi natators barely , squeezed by

final meet yesterday afternoon at

firial event of their cards before
coming through as victors.
Sigma Chi's Dave Douglas con

team. Uniting their efforts on
SC's 120-yard relay team were
Tom Overdorf, Richy McQuillin,
Dave Douglas, and Tony Pileggi.
The fanciful diving of Pi Kap

bined efforts of the winning 120-

necessary spark for PiKP's close
triumph. The winning relay team
was comprised of Wes Menzel,
Joe Ruyak, Dick Blythe, and
Ho war d Davidson. Davidson,
PiKP's anchorman, clinched the
victory by driving ahead in the
final yards.

shown that they will be among
the outstanding contenders for a
top Eastern berth when 1950 cross

they completely subdued N.Y.U.
Saturday, 15-48.
Werner's harriers will face
their stiffest test of the current
campaign when they tangle with
Manhattan in State College this
Saturday. The Jaspars are rated
as one of the top teams in the
East, losing only to Army, one
of the nation's top harrier teams,
by one point, 27-28.
Running without their No. 2

The race was run during a steady
downpour with the harriers hav

mud all the way over the five
mile Van Courtlandt Park course.
Bill Ashenfelter, capturing his
fourth consecutive first place,
along with brother Don, Bob
