Pittsburgh universfty sport fans, obviously keeping in mind
Penn State's fall grid victory, went all out in giving Coach Elmer

Trailing throughout most of
the first 20 minutes, Pitt finally

Unknown to most folks, Pitt

lust such an appropriate moment.
The rope being cut, the goose

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

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-

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. The
Lions need a win in this opening
bout to take the wind out of Syra
cuse's power-spotted lineup.
,At 130-lbs., it's sophomore
against sophomore as State's Jim
Barr seeks win number three
against former cross-country man,
Tom Coulter.
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.
