Pittsburgh universfty sport fans, obviously keeping in mind Penn State's fall grid victory, went all out in giving Coach Elmer Gross' five "the Wednesday night, Trailing throughout most of the first 20 minutes, Pitt finally overcame a-big Lion lead to as sume a 27 to 23 edge as they left the floor at halftime. Unknown to most folks, Pitt students before game time had tied a large stuffed goose to one of the rafters supporting the 4r en a— obviously anticipating lust such an appropriate moment. The rope being cut, the goose plummeted to the hardwood. spewing spectators with a storm of white feathers. As the ob ject hit the floor a huge sign reading "Penn State is a Dead Duck" was revealed. Gentleman John Lawther, bas ketball coach for the Nittany Lions two years ago, recently saw fit to change his opinion of Hardy Williams, Coach Elmer Gros smooth junior forward. According to John Egli, assis tant manager, Lawther was never too impressed with Hardy's court actions. "He's to o cautious both at dribbling and passing," was the opinion of the Penn State slid ing zone exponent. Two weeks ago following the erame against Bucknell in which Williams scored 18 points, played an outstanding backboard game, and set up plays all over the court, Egli couldn't resist phon ing Lowther. "What do you think now, John?" he asked. Always straightforward and honest Lawther replied —"I ' v e got to change my view. Williams has developed amazingly fast." To which Egl replied, "He still may be cautious in hand ling the ball, but have you ever noticed his catlike reflexes? How many times have you ever seen someone take the ball from him?"

CAN - DID COMMENTS One of the most popular "off-time" diversions at the Rockview cala boose seems to be listening to the fights. In one of their paper's col umns the howl was raised that while twenty years ago the only real "tankers" belonged to the Sun-Oil Co., today one can count the "honest" fights on the fingers of one hand. "The 1.8. C. isn't in the oil business, but believe me," said Bob Eckenrode, associate editor. "they have a safe harbor for all th e "Tankers" in th e cauli flower industry."

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Intramural Dept. Directors Recall Peculiarities In IM Sport Events There is one office in Rec hall that should be moved—personnel and all—to the sta tistics department, wherever that may be. Up in that office sit two men who have more scores, records, names, and figures than the Sporting News probably would use in a year of publications. The place referred to is the Intramural department and the men concerned are the Messrs. Bischoff, in charge, and Sykes, his capable assistant. Strange Things Happen The day that we ventured up to their cubbyhole, Gene and Dutch had finished compiling chart making and by-ing, and were sit ting around fanning the breeze. We found that intramural sports have had many occurrences in the years the department has been in existence. These are just a few of numerous peculiaiities that were overheard: One concerned the champion ship Sigma Pi basketball sqi.lad of '49-'5O and their nervous man ager-coach, Harry Isabel. Every game that the Sigma Pi's played, Isabel—always dressed as a fash ion plate—would attend. After each game the Rec hall janitors had to sweep up a long line of stamped-out butts. In ad dition, Isabel would walk some two or three miles up and down the sidelines during the game, first shedding his tailor-made coat, then his tie. Finally poor Harry would be bathed in pers piration, clad in only his t-shirt and pants. Needless to say, any similarity between the regular Sigma Pi team and its coach at the end of a contest was purely noticeable. Along the same line, a loud voiced coach of the Dorm 24 touch football team incessantly in structed his men from the side lines, but rarely played himself. His squad reached the finals, but in an overtime match he raced into the ganie, intercepted an ene my pass, and put Dorm 24 so far back in its own territory that they nevet recovered. However, it was a helpful gesture. P.Q. Was There Many grave old seniors must still recall Alpha Gamma Rho's famous varsity boxer, wiry. P. Q. Smith. PQ was always on hand when the AGR's were in the in tramural boxing ring. Not only . was he a fine second, but he was' certainly .the !• 'est shadow boxer outside the 12.1 squared cir cle that fight fans in these parts have ever seen. Every time the AGR man took a punch, PQ would take one. As his boy hit his opponent, _PQ would clobber the ozone. At the• end of three rounds, Smith would be leaning against the ropes al- NOW!

REX ALLEN IN 'HILLS OF OKLAHOMA' HUB'S MEN'S SHOP OPPOSITE OLD MAIN Bare Facts By LOWELL KELLER IM Director Eugene Bischoff Lamie Tries— (Continued from page six) VanCleef riddled the State zone defense with his accurate set shots. If the Lions are going to make their zone work, they'll have to throttle the little guard. Corizzi, who hit for 259 points last year, has already tossed in 222 in 14' games this season for an average of 15.9 points per game. A hard-driving forward, Corizzi is a consistent scorer from close around the foul key and a combination of his close-in shots and VanCleef's sets might go hard on the Lions. VanCleef At Guard White will probably start Cor izzi and Al Paolini at forward, Jim Cerone at center, and Van- Cleef and Dolph Schlesinger at guard. The only common foes of the two teams, Navy and Bucknell, downed the Scarlet squad. Penn State defeated both teams. In their last four outing's. Rutgers has beaten, Johns Hopkins, Tren ton, Lehigh, and Layfayette. Yale, Princeton, 'Columbia, Maryland, Fordham, and Army, all pretty fair basketball teams, took the measure of White's crew. Gross will start the same line up he has stuck by most of the campaign. Lamie most out on his feet while the ref would be holding his frater nity brother's hand in the air, the famous gesture of triumph. PAGE SEVEN State Boxers— (Continued from page six) Marino, out for his fourth win in the 125-Ib. class, meets Jim Huba, another Eastern titlist.

Good Chance To Win Coach Sulkowski is confident his proteges will go all out in this bid for Eastern supremacy. His only comment—"We have a very good chance of winning this one." Both teams ,have two remain ing meets after tomorrow's night's fracas. They meet Wisconsin and Virginia on alternating weekends before the Eastern championships the 9-10th of March in Charlottes ville, Va.
