TUESDAY, MAY 1, nst Policy There has been a great deal of criticism about the coverage of Penn State sports, • both varsity and intramural, by the Collegian sports staff; "how come so much written on this sport and so little on that?" or "Why so much coverage of varsity sports and so little on intramurals?" With this issue, a new staff takes over the Collegian sports pages and we're going to lay our' cards on the table. Since this is a, student news. paper, printed by the students for the students at Penn State, PENN STATE sports and not national sport news received from the Associated Press, will dominate the Collegian - sports pages. - , Only on special occasions, such as the World Series, will national sports receive top billing. Al though it will not receive top play,'we believe there is enough interest in major league baseball at Penn State to warrant cover age. Therefore starting with to morrow's issue, we will run a roundup story each day, touching on the highpoints of each game played. Due to lack of space, boxscores will not be printed. Varsity sports will still receive prominence over intramural sports as in the past for obvious reasons but we do intend to, give IM athletics as• complete coverage as space will allow. As an experiment next basket ball season, we • will , attempt to cover the IM basketball games on the night they are played so that the results will appear in the paper the following day and not a day late. As to the varsity sports, cover Net Squad Posts 4th Win; Nips Tough Pitt Team,s-4 By JOHN SHEPPARD After trailing their arch rivals 4-3 in Saturday's scorching battle on the varsity courts, Penn State's tennis team staged a brilliant comeback to nip a stubborn Pitt squad, 5-4.

Coach Sherm• Fogg's charges .7he CZ:On - n aatair By ERNIE MOORE Sports Editor age will be allocated according to its score as a spectator sport. Therefore, football will receive prominence over soccer and cross-country in the fall season. Basketball, wrestling, and box ing will be on almost equal par during the winter. Baseball will receive bigger play than will la crosse, track, golf, or tennis in the spring. We feel that the sports which attract the most spectators are the Sports which the readers will be most interested in. There will be no columns writ ten on the national sport scene except when it affects sports at Penn State. We `nOt comment on the pitching worries of the Brooklyn Dodgers or why Joe Louis should retire as we feel that Grantland Rice, Red Smith, and the rest do a very capable job and are in a much better position-to comment than we are. But we do feel. we have the right to, comment on athletic policy at Penn State and will do so when we feel some point should be brought to the at tention of the students. Finally, we invite constructive criticism. Here's hoping for a great year, in sports at Penn State! evened 'it up as his No. 2 combo of Aiken and Davis came through with flying colors. The prolific twosome downed Roof and Ben del, 6-3, 6-1.
