hander from Atlanta, pitched one of his most brilliant games today

mound duel that carried the enflamed New York Giants to within
a single victory of their goal—the' world series.
In propelling destiny’s tots to their eighth straight triumph and
their 13th decision in- their last
14 games, Heath yielded only,
five hits, to the bone-tired Flock
and was not in serious .danger ,of
being caught because Bobby.

Leo Durocher needed to win only
one of two games scheduled on
their home field starting tomor

tickets, Hanek suggested that in
termission time be changed from
11 to 11:30 p.m. to 10:45 to 11:15
p.m., in order to divide the eve
ning in two equal halves. The
class accepted his suggestion.

he has introduced to All-College
Cabinet which would add a
sophomore representative to Tri
bunal. The proposal would neces
sitate a change in the constitu
tion and would change the
representation from the required
four juniors and four seniors to
five seniors, three juniors and
one sophomore.

proposal was a plank in the State
Party platform on which he was
elected. The class approved the
proposal unanimously.
A standing advisory committee
was appointed to suggest ideas
and projects that could be
handled by the junior class. It is
made up, of two representatives

Freshman Keeps
Souvenir Hunter
From Taking Flag
All the tackling that took place
at Beaver Field Saturday wasn’t
during the game. Afterward, as
the Campus Patrol guarded the
pennants around the stands, a
Boston fan tried to make off with
the Commonwealth flag.
James Lafler, a freshman,'
made a flying tackle and brought
the culprit to the ground.
The unidentified Bostonian
had run down the flag from its
pole and scampered for the gate.
An irate group of students fol
lowed trying to catch him. Lafler
tackled him just short of his goal,
and Penn State students wrestled
for the flag until Captain Philip
Mark and two patrolmen arrived
upon the scene. The patrol saved
both the flag and the Boston stu
dent.
Lafler, a physical education
major, said he just didn’t like
the idea of the flag being taken,
so he tried to save it.
