To night they meet Western Mary land on the Bisons' home court. State opened Wednesday with an easy 51-21 win over winless Ith aca Seek 'Revenge Bucknell will come to State prepared to gain revenge for two setbacks administered them by last season's Nittany outfit. The Bisons have a veteran lineup spearheaded by sharp-shooting forward Joe Gallagher, who aver aged 18 markers a game last sea son. Bucknell rooters moaned and groaned when State pulled a "freeze" at Lewisburg last win ter and thwarted the Bisohs' of fensive tactics to win 25-15. Gross switched style and had the Lions play their usual game in the return match in Rec Hall and the Lions swamped the eager Bisons, 67-53. In practice drills since the Ith aca lidlifter, Gross has been using the same five which started against the Bombers: Co-Captain Hardy Williams and Joe Pior kowski, guards; Tiny McMahan, center; and Herm Sledzik and Whitey Makarewicz, forwards.

STATE ^`e9T.,LEGE, PENIISiLVANTA Klaus Elected 1952 State Soccer Captain Center halfback Kurt Klaus, a junior from Philadelphia and one of Coach Bill Jeffrey's most consistent performers all season, has been elected captain of the 1952 Penn State soccer team. Klaus, who is in Philadelphia with Captain Ron Coleman for the Olympic tryouts, was elected by his teammates Tuesday night at a locker room meeting. Even though he scored only one goal this season, Klaus more than made up for it by his pass ing off to teammates up front. Lose Coleman, Simmons Klaus also was one of 13 letter winners this year. Others to re ceive mon o g r-a m s were Jack Charlton, left halfback; Coleman, inside left; Paul Dierks, right fullback; Frank Follrner, right halfback; Bob Harris, goalie; Hap Irvin, outside left; Ellis Kocher, inside right; Bill Norcik, outside right; Jack Pinezich, center for ward; Don Shirk, center forward; Jay Simmons, left fullback; and Charlie Snyder, outside left. Dick Stanley was named head manager next season. Of this group, only Coleman and Simmons will be lost to the Nittany Lions for the next sea son. Both will be lost via gradu ation. Jeffrey, however, will have a tough task finding replacements to fill those big shoes. Pos'sible All-American Coleman paced the State scor ers this year with 11 goals, all of them coming against four clubs—Bucknell, Army, North Carolina, and Gettysburg. Cole man's 11 goals were five better than Pinezich, the runner-up. Coleman, who was nominated to the second All-America team last year and whose picture ap peared on the cover of the 1950 edition of the NCAA. Soccer .Guide, seems a good bet to make the All-America first team this year. Simmons, on the other hand, was one of State's most under rated performers. The fullback got very little chance to show himself /as the Lion offense usu ally dominated the picture.

Dr. Hanna was here for the an nual Faculty-Trustee dinner last night at the Nittany Lion Inn. He was the principal speaker. Dr. Hannah, who is also chair man of. the committee appointed by the American Council on Ed ucation to investigate college ath letics, expressed the opinion in an interview that there is , "far more, good in college athletics than evil. But we're not in the enter tainment business." Part ,of Education Dr. Hannah said he believed that the evils of college football could be placed into three classifica tions 1. The fact that many men who make up the teams often have al ready used up their eligibility; 2, recruiting and subsidizing; 3, gambling. "Athletics must be part of edu cation," he explained. "We want to make certain that all the men who make up athletic teams are eligible, are full time students, and are working toward a de gree." Scholarships Qkay Dr. Hannah pointed out that too much publicity, bowl games, the platoon system, and tenure of coaches were the major reasons for the .recruiting and subsidizing done by the colleges. . He implied that legitimate ath letic scholarships were all right .as long as they were controlled by the college and not the alum ni.
