TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1951
Coming at a time of national emergency when anything even
faintly involving the reputation of athletics is, magnified ten-fold,
last week's basketball scandal has, temporarily at least, knocked
sports down for a nine count.
The black-eye harided collegiate basketball because of the cor
ruption of a'group of heretofore clean, honest kids and the resultant
demand for a cleanup coincides with another current crusade that
involving brotherhood in American sports. •
Pitching for the team of racial equality and tolerance are Frank
Leahy, Notre Dame athletic department head, and Hank Greenberg,
general manager of the Clevelan
Indians.
"There is nothing more dem
cratic than a football SLIIIIIIIa7
or a baseball box score," sal
Leahy. "In these only the recoi
is printed—not the social presti!
of the individuals involved, m
the standing of the player's fain.
Bank Greenberg ily, but only what the contestant
did in competition."
"We in Cleveland have adopted the motto that ability counts, not
race, color or creed," says Greenberg. "It is only natural that the
Cleveland "Indians" lead the way in judging players on performance
only. Our daily lineup includes two Irishmen, an Englishman, a
Scotsman, and two Mexicans, Protestants, Catholics and Jews, Ne
groes and Whites, and all Americans who work and play together
in perfect harmony. This speaks for itself."
Cleveland line-up: Roberto Avila, Ray Boone, Lawrence Doby,
Luke Easter, Mike Garcia, Jim Megan, Bob Kennedy, Dile Mitchell, •
and Al Roien.

Coming up by train from Washington, D. C. for their basketball
game with Penn State, American university's team was stopped by a
rather elderly citizen.
"I don't - believe that these boys you have here are basketball
players," he said to A.U.'s youthful-appearing coach, Staff Cassell.
"They look like honest men."

Comes now an Amerk. U. communique requesting that coaches
not forget their Leroy "Ish" Ishrnan, of Bradford, when it comes
time to select All-American courtmen.
Ish is not what you might call a pretty-boy. He takes out a four
tooth bridge during ball games; has wild, tousled hair; an abnormal
right forearm as the result of a jeep accident in Italy, and he's big,
tough and aggressive.
'Reminds us of the time a group of New York Yankee ball
players were arguing among themselves as to which scout in the
Bomber chain had obtained Yogi Berra, the Yankee neanderthal.
Lefty Gomez. listening in, said, "No scout got Berra. Frank
Buck brought him back alive."

Nittany Fencers
Suffer 4th Loss
From Cornell
By JOHN SHEPPARD
Up-holding their circuit pres
tige on Saturday afternoon at
Rec hall, a surprisingly strong
Cornell fencing aggregation van
quished the -Nittany Lion duel
ists, 16-11.
It was the Lion's f oar t h
straight defeat of the season,
they having lost their three pre
vious engagements, two by the
same count.
In posting its fourth victory of
the campaign, Coach Georges
Cointe's blade contingent had to
come from behind after trailing
5-4 at the end of the foil event.
=MM=
For State in the foil duels, Ed
Kalanik paced the contact of
blades by winning his three mat
ches, 5-3, 5-3, and 5-3. Joe Ku
sick helped up the score by com
piling a 2-1 record, winning 5-4,
5-4 and losing his final duel by
the same score. Tom Taylor
dropped all three of his engage
ments by similar 5-4 counts.
Thev,Meyermen, however, be•
gan tof,alter in the epees as
Cornell took command, 7-2.
Lou Como slashed his way to
3-2, 3-1 triumphs for State, and
lost 3-1. Bob Whitman and Pete
Raidy dropped their three
matches.
Cornell Comeback
The Lion Foilsmen continued
to flounder as the Big Red also
captured the 'saber event 5-4,
thus enabling them to salt the
victory away. Captain Ed Merek,
who had to withdraw from the
meet because of illness, was
credited , with one win and one
loss. Jerry Clauser, who, substi
tuted for Merek, scored an up
set by routine veteran Dick
Smith, 5-2. Bob Searles copped,
one and was jarred twice, while
Charley Ricker lost' his three
events.
Next Saturday, the State
swordsmen will play host to John
Hopkins. The match was direct
ed by Frank Bavtiso, a member
of the American Fencing associa
tion.

Courtmen Edge Colgate,
But Lose To Syracuse
Just before Penn State's basketball team left for the Col
gate-Syracuse .trip last weekend, Coach Elmer Gross was
quoted as saying: "We might scare them a little." That was
the understatement of the week!
The Lions not only scared Colgate on Friday night but
went one step further and beat the Red Raiders, 58-57, on a
foul shot by Junie Moore with
but five seconds left in the game.
Syracuse Freezes
Saturday night, Syracuse had
to use a deep freeze and a ,pos
session, game to turn back the
Nittanies, 50-46.
State had to come from behind
to nip Colgate which had beaten
the Lions in Rec hall earlier in
the season. Trailing throughout
most of the game, the Lions
fought their way into the lead late
in the contest and but for the 57-
57 tie in the closing seconds, nev
er lost it.
Tiny-McMahan, who improves
with,every game, paced the Lions
again S t -the Raiders by tossing in
23 points-13 points more than
his nearest teammate, Ted Pan
oplos.
Moore Supplies Punch
With all due respect to Mc-
Mahan, it was Junie Moore who
iced the game for the Lions in
the closing seconds of the con
test. Moore only made two points
all' night, but his last foul con
version came with the score tied
at 57-57 with five seconds left in
the game and supplied a Merri
well finish for the Grossmen.
Moving over to Syracuse, the
Lions lost a race with the clock
and dropped their second game
to Syracuse this season. Just as in
the first contest, it was Captain
Jack Kiley Who upset the Lions
victory drive.
The flashy Orange set-shot art
ist poured 18 points through the
hoop to lead his mates to their
fifth successive win.
But things weren't all peaches
and cream for the Syracuse five.
After taking a 28-17 lead with
five minutes .remaining in the
half, Coach Marc quley ordered
his team to go into a deep freeze
for the rest of the period. Each
team managed to drop in a foul
shot and the half ended 29-18.
Foul Outs Hurt
Syracuse continued to build on
that lead early in the second per
iod and piled up a 40-25 margin
mid-way through the half. The
Orange team then went into a
possession game just as the Lions
began to roll. Always a strong
second-half team, the Nittanies
began to whittle down the tiring
Syracusans' lead. -
But they couldn't cop with "Old
Man Time" or the loss of Captain
Lou Lamie, Hardy Williams, and
