PAGE SIX rosh Eligible For Varsity Play ECAC Action Allows Freshmen To Participate In 1951-52 Season The Eastern College Athletic Conference yesterday de clared freshmen eligible for varsity competition during the 1951-52 college year, the Associated Press reported. The action, taken by a mail vote of the ECAC's 91 mem bers, applies until June, 1952. Another vote will have to be taken then for an extension. Ivy League Balks Although a part of the ECAC, the Ivy League, the AP reported, will still not permit freshmen to comp2te in varsity competition. Carl P. Schott, dean of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, and I-I. R. Gilbert, grad uate manager. of Penn State ath letics, could not be reached for comment on the ECAC ruling. Varsity coaches contacted by the Collegian, in general, were not surprised at the ECAC's ac tion, but most felt that making froth eligible would not furnish much help to the varsities—over the next sports year, at least. Spiedel Doubtful Charlie Speidel, wrestling coach, expiaineu that th e only way freshmen would help him wo.Aid be in the 12.3-pouna class. "I have no I..Lj pounuer ior next year. if a good ireshinan comes out, he'll pr,,bably be on the var s,y right away;" he said. We'ke just a year behind. It would have harped us last year when we had Jerry viaurey and :Lick Lemyre on the freshman squad. But it may help plug up hexes. Help Other Schools It'll heap other schools more than it will us, in wrestling at leas "c," . he pointed out. Wants Answer Track and cross country coach Chick Werner said "As to actual use of frosh —it would take a highly unusual freshman to be Useful in cross-country. In track it's different. "The only time I would think that freshmen should be used is when an emergency depleted our male population to the point that we would need frosh to fill the team." • Backs Ivy League "I think the Ivy League's stand in -this sho w s that others are thinking the same way. Until an actual emergency arises, I don't think we should use freshmen in varsity sports," he explained. Tennis coach Sherm Fogg said only: - ft suits me fine." • Fogg will lose five of his first seven men through graduation. Will Help Golf Golf coach Bob Rutherford ex pressed the belief that the new ruling would help him next year but bemoaned the fact that the action wasn't taken a year sooner so that hi s freshman ace, Rod Eakin, would have been eligible this season. Joe Bedenk, baseball coach, said that the effect of the draft on his present team would de cide just how much freshmen would help him next year. He expressed the belief that it would take a pretty gcod frosh base bailer to break into the varsity lineup during 'the freshman year. Won't Affect Lacrosse Lacrosse coach Nick Thiel was one of the coaches who believed that he wouldn't get much help from eligible freshmen. Because lacrosse is not a popular sport in most high schools, most of the incoming frost) will not have any lacrosse experience an d the chances of making the varsity in their first year will be very slim. Elmer Gross, Lion basketball coach, said: "I'm happy it went through. I think it'll help us some. Whether we'll get any freshmen good enough to play varsity basketball remains to be seen." Rip Engle, football coach, was out of tov.m and r - . 0 .d not be con tacted for comment.

The way the thinking is to start with Alerted and Bold, and look around from there. One of Penn State's most ef fective plays in lacrosse had its beginnings in basketball. Nick Thiel, who coached freshman basketball in his first years on the Campus, says most lacrosse plays are adaptions of like plays in basketball. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. 6TATZ CC": Summaries 2.

(Spl.)— A petite tear-stained bride of the past three torried days reported to police here this morning that she had not seen' her husband since early last night when he threaten ed to smash the window of a clothing store to get at"a tempting display of Palm Beach* suits.

The fugitive said nothing would keep him from being the first to get a Palm Beach suit as soon as the store opened. Police are withholding his name out of consideration for his anxi ous bride and upon his promise that he would not threaten any other windows. Men need not be driven to des peration by the heat, Jack Harper said today, pointing to his fine selection of checks, stripes and smart colors in the all Palm Beach Suits at only $29.95.
