CE EOUR Bischoff Sees Hot Race For IM Point Award By JIM GROMILLER Eugene C. Bischoff, director of intramural athletics, has pre dicted the closest'race since the war in releasing the present fraternity standings toward the annual intramural point award. Sigrna Nu holds the top spot witii a 255 point total. In sec ond place is last year’s winner, Delta Upsilon, with 242% points. Phi Delta Theta, with 230 points, and Beta Theta Pi, with 222% points, follow in third and fourth places respectively. These totals include points earned in all intramural sports completed to date —touch foot ball, swimming, boxing, and golf. It was back during World War II when Penn State’s lacrosse team was struggling to compete among the war teams that Nick Tliiel remembers this humorous incident. It appears that the boys were missing quite a few practices. One day Coach Thiel laid down the law. “Anybody who misses practice from now on without a damn good excuse is automatically off the team,” he warned irately. The very next day a hulking lad by the name of Marvin Sny der walked up to Thiel. “I’m not going to be here for practice to morrow,” he said sheepishly. The volatile Nick saw red, and after bawling the guy out he asked why he couldn’t be at prac tice. "I have to go home to grad- uate/' said Snyder. It seems that Snyder was a spe cial wartime student who was al lowed to take advanced work in college without having graduat ed from high school. Thiel excused him. .. To George Jacob. Penn Slate pass defense specialist, goes a special congratulatory note for his fine play through out the past grid season. As game-after-game we sat in the Beaver field press box watching "Jake" patrol the Lions' secondary intercept ing and knocking down ene my tosses, we couldn't help but recall the first game of the 1949 season against Vil lanova when the Wildcats' Steve Homanik had Jacob running in circles. But from that inauspicious de but Jacob plugged steadily along until this past season he was com monly regarded as just about Penn State’s No. 1 pass defend ers. Basketball followers may be in terested in knowing that Bucky Hatchett, Rutgers’ outstanding center last year, has dropped ne gotiations to play pro basketball with the Baltimore Bullets in fav or of a position as recreation di rector in his home town of Ver ona, N. J. Who'd win out in a three cornered debate between "Broadwav" Joe Coppa, the South Philly flash, "Silent" George Weber, late of Nick Thiel's lacrosse team, and Pete Saranlopoulos, the. har rier? At the fall cross-country ban quet Coach Chick Werner pulled a cutie when he suddenly called upon Peter to start off the even ing’s speech assignments. Flab (Continued on page five) PRESSED FOR TIME?
