Other fraternities posting first round victories were Delta Sigma Phi over Sigma Phi Delta, 7-6; Lambda Chi Alpha over Zeta Beta Tau, 6-0; and Delta Upsilon over Beta Theta Pi, 20-0. Despite a slippery turf, Dan gerfield and Ceraso were able to threaten each time Delta Chi ob tained the ball, only to have the Phi’ Mu Delts tighten their de fense whenever Delta Chi got to tbeir opponents’ 20 yard line. Dangerfield intercepted a Phi Mu Delta’s pass on his 45 yard line. Two short passes by Delta Chi’s Ceraso put the ball on their opponent’s 42 yard line. After being rushed by three Phi Mu Delts’, Ceraso scampered around his end and threw a jump' pass to Ed True who was touched on the 1 yard line. An offside pen alty set the ball within a half yard of the goal line. The follow ing play saw Dangerfield com plete a pass to Bill Bloemker, on his knees in the end zone. Dangerfield’s end run attempt for the extra point failed. In the second game of the ev ening, Delta Sigma Phi edged Sigma Phi-Delta, 7-6, in an over time match. Delta Sigma Phi was first to score. Rudy Dutzman received Sigma Phi Delta’s punt on the mid-field stripe. He then threw a pass to Don Davis who later aled to Dick Evans who, in turn, passed to Russ Provozano in the end zone. The attempted extra point was broken up. Herbie Yablon, Sigma Phi Del ta, faked, a reverse, ran to the sidelines and completed his for ward to Leon Lefkowitz who caught the pass over his head in the end zone. Sigma' Phi Delts’ extra point try was blocked. In the overtime period, it was nip and tuck until the sixth play when Sigma Phi Delta brought the hall one foot short of the mid stripe in their own territory. According to touch- football rules, in overtime periods, the team that advances the ball into its opponent’s territory at the end of the sixth play shall receive one point. Lambda Chi Alpha defeated Zeta Beta Tau, 6-0, on an inter ception by Jim Kilgore. Kilgore intercepted . a pass on his own 42 yard line with less than two minutes and then threw to George Resh who ran to the 6 yard line.

T e student body puts on demonstrations and often times are instrumen tal in getting an unwanted coach relieved of his duties; are written to coaches by. the ‘ole grad’ who feels that his Alma Mater should win ‘this one’ as they have some money on the game or their prestige to think about. The college administration is likewise very much concerned übout the future of its teams. For a winning team means better publicity, and this iri turn means more money. But in the same breath ihai the dear 'ole grad.' etc., wishes for a winning team, they deny the coach the facilities of get ting any players. Either they refuse to allot money, for the player's education or they re fuse to subsidize players in other ways. True, some colleges do hand out money and go to extremes to get a player from some far away place cars, books! free tuition, and so forth are dangled before the athlete's eyes. Likewise, on the other side of the walk, are the institutions that can’t afford it and o'nly get good players when such a person comes for the education or the love of the game. Very few times, if any, do these colleges have players that come from the student body themselves —shall we say ‘‘work ing up from the ranks.” Now we aren’t condemning the use of scholarships and free tui tion, nor are we advocating their use, but we do feel that some better way or some system could be worked out in which a college doesn’t have to resort to large scale handouts: Why would any school, say the size of Penn State, have to resort to such tactics when they have talent right among the student body? Penn State has an enrollment of 8.530 males, according to the latest figures. And we'll go out on the limb and say that the majority of these men have played varsity ball at their high schools and probably did very well at it. Just go up to the tennis courts. Beaver Field, or Rec Hall and watch the intramural program. Everywhere one looks he can see good players—no, excellent players, all prospective material for the varsity sports. Some even better than the varsity material. If these students should be given a chance to show their tal ent, maybe the need of handouts or scrounging around could be eliminated. Maybe such a program could be worked out in which several weeks would be set aside before regular varsity practice begins. In these' few weeks, any student that’s interested could have reg ular practice sessions and games under the watchful eyes. of the coaches and their assistants. Th.e coach could devote these .weeks to the full time job of observing, IT'S THE TREND! for weekdays for weekends The swing to soft fabrics for fall / - IN - Smorf Tweed Sportcoats OF MIXTURES AND BLENDED COIORS All-Purpose F | anne | TrOUSOIS AND PLAID SPORTS SHIRTS warm Worsted Topcoats IN YOUR CHOICE OF STYLES College Sportswear “State College’s Friendly Store” Beaver & Allen State College By TED SOENS Assistant Sports Editor instructing, selecting and cutting of candidates. The student and coach alike would have more of a chance to see just what each other has to offer—and. more than likely the coach can find most of his material if not all .from the students themselves. Under the present program, only a few weeks are given to varsity practices; then the sea son gets under way—in football the practice time calls for three weeks in the fall and three ia the spring, in basketball it's four weeks, and baseball also four. Naturally, with all the pres sure on the coach, he' puts all his time on those players that have already proven themselves who have scholarships and the like. In plain words, the coaches just "sunt. got" enough time to give to the local boy. But with this new kind of sys tem, the student will be given a chance and in the long run will produce a better team, less wor ries about where the future ma terial will come from, and fewer gripes from the layman—Emtff Said!
