State Cagers Turn Down Bradley Tournament Bid Penn State has politely turned its back on a "feeler" to appear in Bradley university's "national campus basketball tournament." Harold R. "Ike" Gilbert, graduate manager of Penn State athletics, told the Daily Collegian ' yes terday that he and Carl P. Schott. dean of the School of . Physical Education, made the decision "in the best interests of the institution." Gilbert pointed out that the public's opinion of basketball since the scandal, and the time, the tournament is to be held were the deciding factors in the decision. Ike Gilbert "To accept a bid to the tournament would mean two extra weeks of practice and thereby deprive the players of their Easter vacation. Their record is not that impressive and we can't afford the extra weeks of practice," Gilbert said. Bradley sent "feelers" to 26 schools. Four of these, including Penn Slate. declined the invitations. The tournament will be held March 24-30. conflicting with the NCAA tournament. Wresilers•Seek Undefeated Season—But Watch Cornell Nine • times wrestling Coach Charlie • Speidel has had teams that have finished the regular dual meet season with only one loss. Three times he has had un defeated teams. Now, fOr the fourth time in his twenty-five years as mat coach at State, Speidel is on the verge of an undefeated season. The one possible stumbling block—the Big Red of Cornell. This Saturday, the Lion grap plers, who many have called the best of the many aggregations that Speidel has put together, journey to Ithaca to take on Cor nell. Cornell this season has already lost three matches—one to Le high, one to Syracuse and the third to Navy. All three of the teams have been defeated by the Nittanies. Three good battles are shaping Lion Vignette Tiny', Moore Spell Height, Fight * * * McMahan, Ex-Grid End, Now Stars At Pivot Post By JAKE HIGHTON Not many athletes mix medi cine with a sports career like Dr. Bobby Brown did for the baseball Yankees or Jay S. Mc- Mahan does for the Penn State varsity cagers. It's quite the ex ception but "Tiny" is an excep tional fellow—and not alone for his towering 6-foot-7 frame. Being a pre-med major is not the only oddity about Tiny. By original trade he was a football. player—and by no means an ap prentice. Rather, Tiny was a master craftsman as attested by his being selected as all-Utah state end in 1948. Fond Of Football Although at Western Utah high school Tiny was a three time letter winner in basketball, the gridiron was his favorite habitat and the one to which he first reported at Penn State. But the pigskin takes crazy bounces and a cracked vertebrae in scrimmage bounced Jay into the eager arms of assistant court coach John Egli, who, happily for Elmer Gross' present win ning five, dissuaded Tiny from foot'-all.

A meeting of two undefeated grapplers will take place in the 147-pound class when the Lions unbeaten Don Frey (7-0) takes on the Big Red's Frank Bettuci, an undefeated sophomore. Dick Clark, if he is able to wrestle, is expected to give Nit tany Captain Homer Barr a good battle in the heavyweight class. Barr is undefeated in 23 straight dual meets, his string spanning three seasons. Clark has missed the last two Cornell meets due to an injury. In 137; Don Maurey and Bill Van Gilder will hook up in what could turn out to be a real thrill er. While both Maurey and Van Gilder have been on the wrong end of decisions this season, both are sharp wrestlers and should give each - other a good tussle. * * Jay 'Tiny' McMahan Frank 'Jussia' Moose i':4I , ISYL JANIA GOT COE GAME FOUR TIMES! , i7:424o7:ffEar47l7 , UlM:7l. r .fMaiisr4;s.i , rsWE' , E7MiViellaglßEMZSZOnliMUM :::::::::-. ,' , yA I i..:.:. :::::::. :I*i: The -,: ... ::::::: • .

The Bar Bell i club is still in the process of reorganizing. * * * Points Mean Little When Evaluating Guard's Play By JAKE HIGHTO To many viewers of d Penn State basketball summary, guard Frank Logan Moore and his six point contribution per game is unimportant—but don't you be lieve it t Never a high scorer but always a terrific fl9or man, ."Junie" Moore is about as important to Coach Gross' Nittany cagers as a hoop to a basketball game. A forceful demonstration of the steady, clutch abilities of the hardworking Lion hoopman came last weekend against Col gate. Junie only dropped in two fouls all night, but one of them in the closing five seconds of play gave the Grossmen the nod by one point. Quiet Cager Best tribute, h . o wev e r, to Junie's team-player efforts comes from the guy who not only works the ball up court with Junie but is his roommate'l—Ted Panoplos. Taciturn and modest Junie couldn't think of his best 'day in sports when Teddy chimed in, "the night I scored 35 points for Altoona center, Junie had 17 as sists."

Well, the Mahatma, formerly.of 215 Montague street, Brooklyn, was never more wrong. Monday night Hodges again-Tn formed Brooklyn Dodger officials that he would not be able to leave New York with the regulars, as was previoUsly expected. The reason? Mrs. Hodges is an- , ticipating another addition. Gil, who lost 17 days of spring train ing last year, says he will stick around for the big event a s gain, - which will probably mean that he will lose another=-few days of training. However, it doesn't take the slugging first baseman long to round into form. Despite his late 1950 start, Gil plastered 32 homers, and drove in 113 runs with a .280 average. - This will. be .1 4 oe Bedenk's 21st season at the helm of the Penn State baseball team. ,
