FRIDAY, APRIL 27 MI 'ON THE BALL' - '', " • y 73, ~,. .....s4,•<- • ;:i• A '", ,s. ' •‘°.; • 4,,,, ,c , Dear Ernie: Monday your great adventure as sports editor will start. Although it's early, I'd like to extend my congratulations for the swell job I know you'll do, but at the same time my sympathy is expressed on inheriting what has been called the most thankless job on a newspaper. You should be warned beforehand , of a few things you can be expected to run up against. There'll be times when your efforts seem worthwhile, and other times when you'll want to throw the whole thing out the nearest window. But buck-up, old chap, there's always the gas pipe. I've found that no matter how hard you try you can't please all the people all the time. So forget it! You'll soon awaken to the , fact that sports page readers are the most fickle you'd care to meet. They'll praise you for one- sentence and damn you for the next. I've been told many times—both bluntly and otherwise—that as a sports editor I would have made a good plumber, blacksmith, or soha-jerk. In that case, I suppose that any advice from me on how to become a "Sports Editor for the Daily Collegian" will be as futile as "Big Will" Poorman trying to scale Mt. Nittany. Anyway—as former sports editor Tom Morgan lateraled to Elliot Krane, and Krane passed the buck to me, here are a few do's and don'ts that I hope will save you from some of the dirty looks that have passed my way. As I get it, Ernie, the recipe for a good Collegian sports editor reads something like this: 1. Never write anything on, track or wrestling before con sulting Chick Werner and Charley Speidel. You'll hear about it if you do. . • 2. Never imply anything about a monster of a football player unless you've got a pair of track shoes handy (or a trap door con cealed in the Collegian office). 3. Cut down on your IM summaries, none but the participants read them anyway. . 4. Get yourself a good set of alibis for those football predic tions you'll carry in the fall. 5. Don't jump the old party : line like we did. For heaven's sakes, don't be different. 6. Tell all varsity managers who want to know why their sport isn't getting any more space just where to go. . 7. When you need a good yarn for the colunm see John Law ther, John Egli, Chick Werner, or drop in at Grahams. (Testimon ial—l buy my magazines, etc . ..). 8. Never say in two words what you can in ten; it's against all established laws of the press. And, 9. Always wear a thick-skin, a deaf ear, and a sub-machine gun. You never know who your friends are in,this business. Sounds awful, doesn't it, Ernie, but it really isn't as horrible as I've painted it. All kidding aside, I'm going to miss it, and you're going to love it.

Panthers In 'Top' Test Tomorrow Tomorrow will tell the tale For on this crucial day, Coach Sherm Fogg's tennis team will .either be rejoiced or consoled when they play host to a formid able Pitt squad on the varsity courts. • The Statesmen's three-match winning skein will be in jeopardy, for Coach Dr. David 0' Loughlin will field the best caliber of op position that state will face' this year. Although the Panthers had only a fair season last year (5-5), they have five seasoned-performers re turning, and that's not all. When you have two prospects who have the highest No. 1 and 2 man rating from Maine to Florida, you really have something. They are Captain John Loh stoeter, No. 1 man, and Harry Campney, No. 2 man. Besides handling the singles chores, this crafty twosome also wield the racket in doubles activity. Last year the talented-two were the bright spots in Pitt's drab tennis picture as they were the only netters who won with any degree of consistency. Lohstoeter or "Mr. Tennis" as he is rightfully called at Pitt, is also 1950 Western Pennsylvania tennis champion. Because of their fine records, "Mr. Tennis" and Campney rep resented the smoky city in the intercollegiate tennis meet at Syracuse last year, and reached the semi-finals before they were eliminated in the doubles. • No. 3 man will be Earl Roof, and the No. 4 post will see Joe Bendel in action. The other net ters will be drawn from letter men Bob Hisevich and Jack Hard man, and sophomores Harry Dun can and David Lichtman. In a razzle-dazzle fracus last year, Coach Fogg's charges came from behind to nip the Panthers, 5-4. Captain Owen Landon's spark ling play overwhelmed Lohstoetei in 'three sets, 7-5,4-6, 8-6. Campney nipped Dick Wieland, to knot the score. However, the Lions coun tered, capturing No. 3,5, and 6 singles sets. Pitt, retaliated, cop ping the 1 and 2 doubles, but the Lions' third duo came through, and the Nittanies eked out a victory. minton IM Ba Little, Pi Kappa Alpha, by for feit.

David Girard, Sigma Nu, beat Bill Tegtmeyer, Sigma Pi, 15-11, Rados, Szajna, Minana Seek Quarterback Job As spring football practice rapidly approaches an end, Coacb Rip Engle's quest for a quarterback to run the Lion's wing-T forma tion is beginning to bear fruit. Although Tony Rados, Bob Szajna, and Frank Minana have yet to show the form that brought Vince O'Bara into his own late last season the three have shown a marked improvement since the practice sessions started. As yet, just who will fill the first string quarterback slot• is still a question. At the present, Rip considers the three leading candidates on about equal par. With four weeks of practice by the boards, Rip has been able to get a pretty good line on the Lion gridders and has come up with a few changes. Shattuck to Half The big change has been the switching of Ted Shattuck from the fullback spot to left half back to help erase the gap left by the team's leading ground gainer, Tony Orsini, who will graduate in June. Engle still has Paul Anders and Jim Pollard, returning let termen, to fill the bucking post. Those two, along with Co-Cap tain Len Shephard will vie for the starting fullback position. Shephard, who was used al moSt strictly as a line backer last year, will probably see a lot of action on both the offense and defense in the fall. Pollard on Wing Bob Pollard, who also saw most of his action on the defense last year, has been switched over to the wingback slot to replace the graduating Owen Dougherty. Chan. Johnson has also made the defense to offense changover and he too is vying for the wingback spot. Chances are that Engle will use a somewhat modified platoon system this year as a great many of the Lions will be playing on both the offense and defense. The Ripper has put the Lions through "a couple of good scrim mages" and is pleased with the spirit his gridders have shown during the spring sessions. The Nittanies will wind up the five week spring drills May 5. Two members who accompan ied the Penn State soccer team in the Middle East were cited for outstanding scholarship during the past semester. Singled out by the School of Physical Education and Athletics were Clarence Buss, of Watsontown, and Gus Bigott, of Caracas, Ven ezuela. 11-15, 15-11; Tom Ward, Theta Kappa Phi, beat Richard Stan ley, Alpha Gamma Rho, 45-11, 15-7; and Richard Ling, Kappa Delta Rho, beat John Hunsber ger, Theta Xi,, 15-8, 15-0.
