FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1950
, (Perhaps we're rushing* the season a bit, but suddenly- noticing
our calendar .we . find' that - vacation days are almost upon us. So
without further comnientary.;the sports staff of The Daily Collegian
wishes its readers,a very merry Christmas.) .
’Tis the weekbefore’ Christmas, and I’d say it’s time
That I make with my. perm and lay down yon stein. '
Fear,-not, Shakespeare, and’Rke bards
I merely, find it cheaper ; than out cards.
For eacih time’l wax poetic dike a. modem Byron, why, egad,
I find i saye another, ruble for dear “Old Grandad.”
So wist ye readers,.before bringing out tar ■
Christmas greetings and good'luck in the Neus Yahr.
* ’ * • • * * *
As I look at the. sky through my Collegian winder
I pray,- Santa, give Mr. Engle a ’5l winner
And as St. Nick/s'-pack hit tlie Nittany Dell
I sighed '■foritt<iu*li^ck'i|ike-- , qle “Punchy” Rogel.
Looking for, gridders like Orsini and Godlasky
Will send Michaels and Patrick to Bedlam in a hurry.
Superlatives -sweet put in J. Googan’s repertoire
As a publicity director he leads the. field by far.
• : ' * ■ * * * * *
To Russ Clark, king of the dorms, we. leave
A schooner of Skellar beer in which to grieve.
And lest- we forget bn E. Gross' tic
A mess of range finders should do the trick.
To Jumpin' Lou Lamie, Lion basketball's best selling edition
Let him receive his well-earned recognition
On Bedenk's hearth let the map with the bells
Gift-wrap a couple of Mel Parnells.
'P *T* 'T* •V
Heim's and Koszarek likewise do bless
And empower with lethal blows all opponents to caress.
My chest heaved with pride, my heart went helter skelter
As I recalled the mighty deeds of our boys Ashenfelter.
K. Kringle, if you have an in with the gods, yet,
Keep sacred the memory of State’s yclept, “Fred.”
*** * * *
Before I write finis to. this dnbbly rot
Don’t forget Bill Jeffrey; that canny old Scot.
A Soccer .Bowl victory following a season so fine
Merits—at least —quick entrance within St. Andrew’s own line,
Bequeath jolly “Ike” Gilbert, last but not least,
A, change of heart about cheerleaders, female, if you pleeze.
*** * * *
To all those not mentioned, the fair sex as well
On the right side of Dame Fortune let all toll the bell.
And as the '5l calendar bumps into view
Here's sending the merriest of Christmases to you.

Lion Vignettes
Watch Lamie! .'5l
Court Foes Cry
. Six feet, two inches and 180
: pounds of potential All-American
—that’s Lou Lamie, Penn State’s
basketball captain.
For if the likeable Arnold, Pa.
product continues his early sea
son pace it’s go
ling to be difficult
to overlook him
when the time
comes next
March for choos
ing the all-star
aggregations.
Thus far in
three games, Lou
has averaged 21 points, a fair
average in any league.
Lou is a physical education ma
jor and a member of the Alpha
Chi Rho fraternity. While in high
school he was placed on his first
all-star team, his play with the
Arnold team earning him a berth
on an all-section squad.
Lou spent his freshman year at
California State Teachers college,
where he was a member of the
varsity cage squad. Moving up to
the Nittany Lions in 1948, he has
been an integral part of the team
here ever since.
He attributes the Lion’s fine
showing thus far to the team’s
fighting, never-say-die spirit. As
his biggest thrill in basketball,
Lou nominates last year’s Colgate
game which he sent into over-j
time with a last second free i
throw. I
Lou needs but 249 points this
season to crack the all time Penn
State three-year scoring mark.
Modest to the nth degree, he still
admits that he would like very
much to capture the record.
After graduating, Lou will look
toward pro basketball. When his
active playing career is finished
he hopes to land a coaching job.
Lions Hopeful-
(Continued from xxipe one)
is whether the Lion cagers can
take on a fast breaking team like
Rhode Island State tonight and
then come back tomorrow night
and play a team which employs
the platoon system, without tir
ing.
It looks 1 as if the Lions’ first
five will have to play roles of
iron men. But to ask the same
five men .to play 40 minutes of
basketball on consecutive nights
against teams as tough as these
might be asking too much. Only
time will tell.
Hold-overs claim four of the
five positions on Penn State’s
starting basketball team.

Watkins, Polito Win
To Enter Ring Finals
A pair of 121-pound boxers, Don “Judge” Watkins, of Phi
Delta Theta, and Bill Polito, of Theta Kappa Phi, fought their ways
into the finals .of the IM tournament last night. The finals will be
fought Monday night at 8:30 p.m.
.Watkins, utilizing a good left
hand, in a second round spurt,
downed John Ruffner, of Delta
Upsilon while Polito maintained
a steady body attack to topple
Fred Fieni, of Theta Chi.
But Marts, an independent, al
so entered the finals, taking a for
feit victory in the 135-pound di
vision.
Dick Cameron, of Beta Theta
Pi, continued to chop down all
opponents, as he made Steve
Meisel, of Alpha Epsilon Pi, his
latest victim. It was a slow 165-
pound bout, in which Cameron
was the aggressor all the way.
Rudy Reid,. of Omega Psi Phi,
and Bill Hanley, of Theta Chi,
collided in a 145-pound battle,
with Reid winning a close one.
Both boys showed good lefts, and
Reid gained the nod on his ag
gressiveness.
Joe Lane, of Delta Upsilon,
swinging with little accuracy,
bested Bill Nichol, of Alpha Gam
ma Rho. Lane beat off Nichol’s
hard right-hand blows in a close
bout, to barely squeeze under the
wire.
In a slow heavyweight match,
Carl Pfirman, of Sigma Chi, took
the measure of Bill Gourlev, of
Delta Tau Delta. It was a dull bout
in which both boys tired too
oi.iickfv to do much of anything.
