Remember the basketball. scandals of last spring? . . . . How ) a
Long Island University team'Was,practically wiped out, forcing
. .
versity 'officials to cancel all remaining games and withdraw from in
tercollegiate Competition. . . . `And. remember. a lanky
forward who was, leading the nation in scoring at' the time. . . :•A
guy named Sherman, White?
For those who may not reinem
ber exactly, White and four,-of his
teammates , were 'l3 ar t of the
greatest scandal in college spqrts
history. . . They were charged
With taking $18,500 to fix' seven
big time basketball games.'
After the shock of the scandals
blew over, every

who practically
throw their lives away. . . . Like
Sherman , White for instance, . . .
Know where .he is now, and what
he's doing?
You'd never guess it, but he's
playing', basketball. . . . And
what's more he plans to making
a living from it. . . . Only this
tune on the up and up... . That is
if everything turns out alright.
White has been working out re
cently with the Wilkes-Barre Bar
ons of , - the American Basketball
League. . . . He's been impressive
too, and. glad of the chance to
play again.

Deft Swimmers Triumph
„ Scoring their third victory in as many starts, swimmers from
Sigma Chi, 'last season's defending champs, continued their un
defeated quest for ;this year's intramural title yesterday afternoon
at Glennlan pool. Phi Delta Theta and Theta Xi also scored second
round wins,' enabling them to compete against each other in the
quarter-finals next week.
In turning hick a spunky Acacia team 28-13, the` Sigma Chis
found the sailing a little rough
before - clinching their victory.
Gu s Hudson, Acacia sprinter,
gave the SCs a temporary scare,
when he captured the 60 yard
freestyle event, edging out SC's
Bob Kolle and Rich McQuillen by
two. strokes,
Fancy Diving
•
• Then SC began to - retaliate
, when-Dave Heckel stroked a 49.6
second timing in the 60 yard
'backstroke. Sigma Chi also man
aged to take a first and second
in" the 60 yard breast to run up
_their score.
Acacia then threw up a bold
front 'when Bill Kilmer displayed
some stylish diving to take his
event. The Acacia; attack was re
buffed, however, as SC's 120 yard
relay team easily won its event.
After drawing a first round• bye,
Theta Xi's splashers have regis
tered wins over Sigma Nu and
Theta Chi. In scoring a , 24-14 win
'over the • latter last night, the
Theta Xis took first place in each
of the five events except - diving.
• Illegal Kick '
The Theta Xis outclassed' their
rivals in the first event when
Bob Graybill swam a fast 35.7
second 60 yard freestyle race. For
the second time in the past week
Do n Orcutt, TXi backstroker,
swam a 38.9 clocking in the 60
yard backstroke• event, coming
within .5 seconds of breaking• the
•record. George Hamilton, Delta
Sigma Phi, set the 38.4 mark last
-season.
Although tedmmate Glenn Con
oway was. disqualified - for using
an illegal -kick in the 60 yard
,breaststroke,. Miles Gehm copped
the race - for TXi with a .46:4 tim
ing,
, In the final match of the eve
ning, Phi Delta Theta outswam
Phi Kappa - Sigma, 29-11. The Phi
Kaps were never in the meet, as
Phi Delta Theta build up an early
lead which they never relin

Weeks ago it altered its rules to

Another White, Eddie White,

team, has been having a rough
time signing !his players. . . . He

and definitely plans to use him in
the coining - campaign. •
Maybe it's punishment
enough for Sherm White that '
he will have to be content to
play, for a minor league team so
to speak. . . . Had the fix inci

ably could - have demanded
twice as muctrmongy fronfictne
of the top pro teams than he•
will draw from Wilkes-Barre
. .He had, been just about a
sure bet to go to the New York
Kriickerbockers.
What makes things look pretty
bright for White is the fact that
when 'he does go to court he will
probably be able to build up a
pretty good case . .He can insist
that outlawing him from profes
sional basketball deprives hilt .of
his livelihood.. . And. Eddie White
is sure to insist that he can use
Sherman and will pay him good
money.

Bob Szaina Likes Baseball Best
Although sophomore quarter
back Bob Szajna is one of the
most important 'cogs on the Lion
football ,team, he makes it evi
dent that baseball, and not foot
ball, is his favorite sport.
Bob loves baseball and is con
sidered •a major league prospect.
He didn't go out for the sport at
State Last spring because he was
participating in football drills.
But now that he has 'established
himself on the gridiron he hopes
to play for Coach Joe Bedenk's
diamond squad this year.

,The six foot-two athlete looks
more rugged in plainclothes than
his -appearance on the field, or
his prograni weight of 173 pounds,
would indicate.
'At Reading High School, he
was a letterman in football, bas
ketball,. 'and baseball. He was
regular third baseman for three
years, played two seasons on the
hardwood, but only one of. foot

State's top five entries today.
Some capable reserves will toe
the mark, however. Heading this
group are Bob Roessler, Dave
Pierson and Pete Judd.
Bob Gehman, Carl Godshall,
Lloyd Slocum and John Chillrud
complete State's 12 men eligible
to score.
Six other NVernennen will run,
bud will not be numbered or
counted in the scoring. This cate
gory includes To m Demboski,
Sam Hamilton, John Davidson,
Jim Cressman, Stan Lifidney and
Harry Biemiller.
Gordon McKenzie is the ace in
the Violet lineup. McKenzie won
both the Rutgers and City Col
lege meets, finished first for NYU
against Army and second on his
team against St. Johns._

lineup is Howie- Jacobson. Howie

backed the •Reading team which
was scholastic co-champion with
Steelton.
Reading used the T-formation,
which Bob liked, so he never
thought about going to traditional
single-wing Penn State until Rip
Engle and his wing -T came to
the Nittany Vale. He also was
influenced by his line coach, who

was a graduate of Penn State.
Szajna believes he played his
best game against Nebraska, dur
ing which he threw a touchdown
pass. He thinks the Lions are
under-rated and still haven't
played their best game. "If the
team can beat Purdue Saturday,
we should go the rest of the sea
son undefeated," he said.
Bob believes Penn State has
improved throughout the year,
but he can't seem to notice any
improvement in himself. Con
trary to popular belief, passing,
and not ball-handling, is t h e
most vital requisite for the T
formation, he said.
Bob is in the arts and letters
curriculum and a member of
ROTC. He' doesn't want to play
any more football after gradu
ation, but would like to play pro
fessional baseball. He has sev
eral Big League offers, and two
summers ago worked out with
the Boston Red Sox. The New
York Yankees .are his favorite
team but he said he wouldn't be
particular—he just loves baseball.
