Freshmen Beat
Altoona, 53-38
By ROBERT SCHOELLKOPF
Penn State’s freshman basket
ball team, active again after an
eight-year lull, opened its 1950-51
season in Rec hall last night by
upsetting Altoona Center, 53-38.
•Altoona got off to a fast start
in the first quarter, but Coach
Joe Tocci’s youngsters, showing
signs of first-game nervousness,
closed the gap early in the second
quarter with a barrage of field
goals.
Ted Jackson, tall Lion forward,
put Penn State into a 28-21 lead
halfway through the second
period by canning four consecu
tive field goals. After that the
Nittany freshmen were never
headed.
Tocci, who is starting his first
year as freshman mentor, used
16 men in the contest, which pre
ceded the Rhode Island State
game.

pride over the 5-3-1 record of the
Lions. It was the best season
mark a team under his adminis
tration has recorded. “In four
years at Kansas State we didn’t
win. a football game,” the Presi
dent said. “It became so bad that
people began to think we were
a real educational institution.”
The President also came' up
with the best laugh of the < night.
Rising to address the audience, he
said: “I’m as qualified to’speak
about football as Harry Truman
is to write letters to a music>crit
ic.”
In a more serious vein, how- i
ever, he told the 200 players and
guests, “I believe in a middle of
the road program of athletic aid.
An educational institution is 1
based on integrity, and if you
lack integrity in athletics it /
spreads like a cancer throughout
the institution.”
Speaking of Penn State football
and Engle, the President said, “I
am exceedingly happy about the
whole situation . . . We’re very
fortunate to have precisely the
right personality for the job.”
Harlow told the players “cour
age consists of. being scared to
death and then going ahead.”
“All-American players are a
dime a dozen, but all-American
guys are priceless,” the for'mer
Penn State great concluded.
