    FRIDAY. MARCH 18. 1958
KDR, Chug-A-Lugs
Win Cage Titles
Led bjf sharp-shooting Billy Kane, Kappa Delta Rho topped
Sigma Nu, 54-38 last night, to capture the 1965 Intramural Fra
ternity Basketball Championship. In the independent finals Jack
Farls paced the Chug-A-Lugs to a 48-36 victory over the Geeche
Birds in the first half of the championship doubleheader at Rec
reation Hall.
' Kane netted 26 points for KDR, 15 in the first half. His deadly
accuracy and fine feeding sped
the winners to a 26-16 lead at
halftime. Although Sigma Nu
threatened to catch up twice in
the second half, they were ho
match for KDR last' night
Haky Injured
With the game less than a min
ute old, Steve Haky of Sigma Nu
bruised his ankle and had to
leave the game temporarily. This
seemingly was a forewarning to
the losers that trouble was com
ing. It was! The KDR’s scored ten
straight points before Jim Ustyno
ski sunk a foul shot for Sigma
Nil’s first marker.
At the quarter, Kane had eight
points ana KDR led. 12-4. At the
naif, Kane had 15 points and KDR
led, 26-16. Sigma Nu got off to a
fast start in the second half, but
it was short-lived. Dick Meek,
the loser's big center, tapped in a
rebound a few seconds after team
tnate, Gary Lyons, hit with a long
setshot. That cut the lead to six
. points. Then Lyons popped in a
' - left-hander from the foul circle
and the lead was cut to four. But
that was the closest the Sigma
NtiV ever got.
: - Lead 37-29
‘Kane and mates took charge
again and built up their lead to
37-29 ai fhe end of the third quar-
Kane, however, wasn’t the
only KDR that played a whale of
a ball game. Bruce McPherson
. cut the cords for ten points, and
Bob Dankanyin played a magnifi
cent defensive game. Dankanyin
held Ed/Ritter, Sigma Nu’s usual
top scorer, to eight points—and
only tWo in the second half. Dick
Meek was Sigma Nu’s high scor
er and best rebounder. Meek
hooped 12,-points, four on rebound
taps. _
The Chug-A-Lugs had to come
from behind to capture the in
dependent crown. The Geeche
f Birds; led by Fred Wallitsch and
' Jim Erb, led 11-7 at the quarter,
and 18-16 at halftime. At this
point, Jack Farls, of the winners
nad netted eight points, on a
combination of tap-ms and one
handers.

There’s even more to
Chevrolet styling
than meets the eye!
This is beauty with a bonus ... for Chevrolet
styling Is designed! to add safety and comfort
while you drive, and to return greater value
when yon trade.
Truly modern lines are shaped by usefulness. You
can see what we mean in the deep crystal curve of
Chevrolet’s Sweep-Sight windshield ... a dramatic
style note, certainly, but one that stems from the-need
for wider, safer vision. Or take, high-set taillights—
they add to the impressive length of line . . . but
they are up where they can be seen for safety’s sake.
The smart louvers across the hood aren’t just dec
oration . . . they mark the intake for the High-Level
ventilation system for cleaner, fresher air. And the
whole shape of the body—its lowness, the dipped belt
line—is merely a reflection of a lowered center of
gravity, the added stability. ,
This is truly functioned styling that serves you
better every mile, and preserves its value against the
distant day when you trade. This is Body by Fisher
—another Chevrolet exclusive in the low-price field.
Come in and let us demonstrate that this new Chev
rolet is just as exciting to drive as to look at!

Bedenk Faces Pitching, Catching Woes
By RON OATEHOUBE
Nittany baseball coach Joe
Bedenk, with a sceptical
glance at what the future
holds in store for his 1955
Penn State diamond squad, is
putting his mound and catch
ing staffs slowly through the
paces.
Preparing for a season that will
offer as rugged a schedule as the
1954 campaign (9-7), the Lion
nine will open against Western

without a single veteran hurler
or backstop.
Two top-flight pitchers, Keith
Vesling and Garland Gingerich,
will be absent when the Nittanies
take to the field against their
initial foe, and a host of outfield

services..
But three-year first baseman,
Pat Kennedy, and infielder-out
fielder Ron Weidenhammer, along
with second baseman Chuck Rus
