THURSDAY; MAY Z 4, 1951 The Lion's Lair Non-Spectator Sports Feel Axe The announcement by Carl P. Schott, dean of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, that Penn State would dis continue intercollegiate competition in five varsity sports, although expected, still came as a mild shock to quite a few interested persons. It hit the coaches, managers, and varsity members of the golf, swimming, fencing, rifle, and skiing teams especially hard. None of the sports dropped were what, you would call, great spectator' sports—at Penn State at least. We'd be willing to bet that three-fourths of the students at State had never tended one contest in any of the five sports... The men wh o played those sports played strictly for the love of the game. There was no glory, except for a few paragraphs in Collegian once or twice a week— nothing like the spreads the foot ball, basketball, or wrestling teams received. There were no crowds watch ing them perform. We sometimes wonder just how many people knew who was on the fencing, rifle, and skiing teams, outside of fraternity brothers and a few close friends. It's tough to see players like that go—guys who play strictly for the love of the game„ But a cut had to be made and it had to coin e to the sports which the student body wouldn't miss. From the sup- . port the student body "lav ished" on those five sports, it seems they won't be missed— except by a few coaches, a few managers, and a few athletes who did nothing more than play "For the Glory of Old State." Here's hoping the sports aren't dead, but 'only sleeping. Six Americans Advance In Cup Play; Turnesa Loses PORTHCAWL, Wales, May 23 (R)—Six American Walker Cup players swept into the fourth round of the British Amateur Golf championship today, but they lost Captain Willie Turnesa. Still go'ng strong were Bill Campbell, Sam Urzetta, Jim Mc- Hale, Charlie Coe, Dick Chapman, and Frank Stranahan, the de fending champion. Bo Wininger, a newcomer to big time golf from Pleasantville, N.J., completed the American contingent in the round of 32, Turnesa, in trouble all th'e way, .bowed out to David Reid, a 19- year-old Scottish coal clerk, on a stymie on the 20th hole. Starnahan won 4 and 2 over his fellow Walker Cupper Bob Knowles, who frittered away a nine-hole two-up lead by leaving three four-foot putts hanging on the rims of the cups on the back CAN YOU COMPLETE THIS REBUS ?

PENNSYLVANIA ECAC Bans Outside Basketball Rivalry NEW YORK, May 23—(?)--All outside basketball competition, including resort play, has been banned by the Eastern College Ath letic Conference. The E.C.A.C. is made up of 91 major and minor colleges. - The measure is aimed primarily to resort ball. Several college officials have charged that summer resorts were the spawning grounds for the recent series of basketball fix cases. These offi cials claimed that would-be fix ers were able to contact and tempt players by building up friendship at the various hotels. Resort officials replied that the charges were unjust, assert ing that players could be con tacted just as easily elsewhere. Asa Bushnell, commissioner of the E.C.A.C., announced the ban today. Bushnell said the scpools had approved the measure in a mail ballot with more than the necessary two-thirds voting in favor of the ban. The only exception made for outside basketball is participa tion in secondary school ."alum ni" games during vacation per . iods. Besides resort play, players are barred from participation in church and A.A.U. competition. The rule doesn't ban athletes from working in the resorts. They may do so as long as they don't play basketball. Strack To Defend PIAA Golf Title Charley Strack of York will be out to make it two in a row when the annual PIAA golf champion ships get underwa tomorrow morning on the 18-hole, par 69, College course.

Two 18-hole rounds will be played tomorrow with the low 24 golfers qualifying for the final round Saturday morning. Mike Divenanzio, Springfield (Montco), who finished third a year ago, and Bob Schoener, Al lentown, who tied for fifth, will be back for another try at the individual crown.

The Big Ten 'tomorrow votes on whether to renew the RoSe Bowl Pact for another three years after a rather shaky five-year trial of keeping the bi g New Year's Day a family affair. Big Ten athletic directors and faculty representatives gathering for the showdown ballot are split in' their views. But hovering over the meetings is the prospect of a coast-to-coast video hook-up by next Rose Bowl time which could swell the revenue as much as $200,000 or more with a spon sored live telecast of the grand dad of Bowl games. The Rose Bowl payoff has been puny, indeed, in the past com pared to the lush swag carried home by teams competing in other major New Year Day at tractions.
