It was the second consecutive win for the Lions—they defeated Carnegie Tech, 52-40, at Pittsburgh Saturday night. In the Gettysburg encounter, the Lions grabbed an early 18-5 first-period lead to begin the rout. Ron Rainey hit on three con secutive jump shots and two fouls to spark the drive. Coach Bob Davies' green Bul let squad—Davies used sopho mores most of the way—was never in the contest after the opening buzzer as the taller Nit tany five controlled both boards, and hit for an amazing 51 shoot-' ing percentage in the first period. To add to the Bullet woes, the Nittany defense was at its peak, limiting the visitors fo only 24 shots in the first half. Only five of the shots were good for a mere 21 per cent average. The Lions opened the contest playing the control type of game Coach John Egli is noted for. Many of their points in the first period came as a result of loose ball-handling by the Bullets. Steve Baidy scored the first two points of the game after taking a pass from Captain Bob Leisher on a steal. Del Warfel,. Bullet sophomore, tied it at 2-2 with a tap-in. Rainey then hit on two quick jump shots, his most ac curate scoring weapon, to begin the Lion move. After Warfel scored from the foul line and Captain Bob Wal sack set for two points, Leisher converted a free throw and Rai ney hit with another jump and two fouls for an 11-5 Lion lead. A three-point play by Leisher, a jump by Edwards, and two more fouls by Leisher boosted the margin to 13. From then on, it was simply a question of how high the Lions could go. Baidy and Leisher combined for nine points. with baskets by Rainey. Bob Ramsay. and Ed wards in between, to up the mar gin to 23 points, 33-10.

With Ramsay and Edwards leading the way under the boards. the Lions put their height advantage to great use. limiting the Bullets to only one shot at the basket with their superior rebounding. The fans were treated to one of the oddest plays seen on the Rec Hall hardwoods in quite some time when the Bullets scored a freak tap-in by Stan Traymore. Jack Hathaway, another sopho more guard, wasout of bounds after an unsuccessful drive attempt and threw the ball high into the air. Traymore alertly ;outmanuvered the Lion defenders to tap the ball in for two Bullet points. Another freak play almost cost the Lions the services of Rainey for the Temple game tomorrow night. Just as the first period ended. Rainey, attempting to tap in a Lion field goal shot, sprained his right ankle when he hit the floor and was forced to sit out all the second half. The injury was diagnosed as a slight sprain and the high scoring forward is expected to be ready for the Owl game at Rec HalL With Egli substituting freely in the second half. the Lions threw caution out the window and played racehorse basketball most of the period. Faced with a Gettysburg full court press. the Lions threw sev eral passes away and played what was probably their sloppiest game of the year before the home fans. Despite Lion loose ball-hand ling, Gettysburg was unable to start any sustained scoring drive with fouls dominating play. Edwards led the Lion scorers for the second consecutive game with 19 points. He scored 17 against Carnegie Tech. Rainey, THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

Walt Kraus New Boss Leaves Door But Robinson Slams It NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (EP) .The door surprisingly was opened today for Jackie Rob inson to reconsider his an nounced retirement from base ball—but it was unceremoniously ! shut by the 38-year-old star who insisted he was sticking to his guns to quit for good. In a dramatic announcement at ;a press conference staged by Rob , inson's new employer, the Chock- Full-O'-Nuts restaurant c-h ai n, !Jackie said: "My mind is made up. I am through with baseball. If I had any doubts before. Mr. E. J. Bavasi, Tice president of the Brooklyn Dodgers made it up for me with his slurring re marks about my character. I wouldn't play now if I were offered a million dollars." Robinson still was boiling over quotes attributed to Bavasi in a New York newspaper criticizing him for "telling newspapermen one thing and writing another for money." The Dodger official was refer ring to Robinson's method of handling his retirement, announc ing it in a national magazine without previously informing either the Dodgers or the New York Giants, to whom he had been traded last Dec. 13. Indoor Trackmen to Open Season Against Army Chick Werner's varsity track squad will open the 1957 in door season in a dual meet with Army Jan. 26 at West 'Point. Werner will probably de pend heavily upon his middle distance and distance men—Fred ;Kerr, Clem Schoenbeck, Bob iThompson, Jay Kirby, Ed Moran, land Don Woodrow. Probable entries in' the mile and two mile races are Woodrow ,and Thompson with Kirby also competing in the two mile event. Woodrow ran the mile in 4:23.8 :in an outdoor meet last year. 2-Mile Relay Team Set Kerr, Schoenbeck, Dave Nash, and Wodrow may compose the Itwo-mile relay with Jim Norton, Ron Lewis, Moran, and Dick Win ston in the mile relay. lln the 1000-yard rim Werner may have Kerr, a former state high schol mile champion, and State College's Schoenbeck. Leading prospects for the 600- yard run are Moran and Norton. Last year Moran set two fresh ! man outdoor records with 4:18 in the mile and 1:55.5 in the 880. In the Ohio State Relays last spring Moran won the 1000-yard run in 2:15.5, defeating 1952 Olympic runner John Barnes and Big Ten champion Pete Grey. er's overtime period field goal •gave Sigma Pi a 20-18 triumph over Phi Sigma Delta. Krauser was also high scorer for the win ners, dumping .in eight markers. In the other overtime game John Myers and Bill McDade dumped in two counters apiece and gave Pi Kappa Alpha a 22-18 triumph over Beta Sigma Rho. This came after the score was knotted at 18-all at the end of regulation time. Burt Swerdling was high man for Beta Sig with seven points. Phi Mu Delta had an easy time in defeating Omega Psi Phi 30-12. taking advantage of a 17-8 half 'time lead. Bob Toney-'s nine mark ' ers helped to run up the score for Phi Mu. Alpha Chi Rho Wins Hugh Cooper and Dave Wat kins hit the nets for a total of "I thought Bavasi was a friend of mine," Robinson said. "Now I know better. He certainly didn't act like an executive. Instead, he acted like a little kid who had his candy taken away from him. His remarks were completely in contradiction to what ,he stated in a letter he sent me after I had been traded to the Giants. In it he thanked me for all the things I had done for the Brooklyn base ball club." Robinson was particularly in censed by Bavases charge• he had purposely mislead th e newspapermen by implying he was going to play for the Giants next year. "That's not rue," Jackie said. "I don't believe any of my news paper friends believe I willfully deceived them. I felt I had 'a moral obligation to the people of Look Magazine, with whom I contracted over two years ago to let them have an exclusive story of my retirement." Asked whether he, felt he didn't have the same kind of an obliga tion to either the Dodgers, with whom he had been associated dur ing all of his 10 years in the ma jor leagues, or to the Giants who had purchased his contract from Brooklyn. Robinson replied: "I didn't feel I had an obliga tion to the Brooklyn ball club Winston. Buster Thomas, and Dean Rossi are probable entrants in the 60-yard dash. Perry May Run In the hurdles Werner will have Winston and possibly Rod Perry, indoor world's record hold er along with Harrison Dillard, in the 50-yard high hurdles. Seniors Harry Fuehrer and Ogier Norris are the leading con tenders for the pole vault. Norris vaulted 13 feet last spring. Competing for high jump posi tions are Norris, Alex Milligan, Bob Parker, and Thomas. Last spring, as a freshman, Parker cleared six feet. Thomas holds the intramural high jump record of 5'1014". The leading contender in the shot put is six foot six inch, 265- !pound Gene Grabosky. Grabosky did not compete in freshman rack last year. Following Army on the sched ule will be the Boston Athletic Association Meet on Feb. 2, the Milrose Games at New York on Feb. 9, Michigan on Feb. 15 at Ann Arbor, and the IC4A' Games on March 2 at New York.

Dave Wilkinson threw in eight points for the loser's cause. As the result of their 29-26 vic tory over Phi Kappa, Phi Epsilon Pi moved up into a tie for third place in their league. This came about after Phi Ep broke a 14-14 halftime dead.ock. Arnold Rosen thal accounted for nine of the victors' tallies while Phi Kappa was aided mainly by Andy To man's ten markers. Alpha Zeta Triumphs Gordy Miller and Carl Royer scored four points apiece and led Alpha Zeta to a 17-10 victory over Lambda Chi Alpha. Gene Hilly was top man for the losers, dump ing in six markers. The Jone forfeit of the evening saw Theta Kappa Phi get the nod over Chi Phi. Open, Shut because I was no longer a mem ber of the Dodgers. As for the Giants, I felt any moral obligation I had to them was eliminated when they declined to grant my request to withhold the announce ment of my trade. Mr. Stoneham (President Horace Stoneham of the Giants) said he could not put off the announcement becatise too many people in the Dodger organization knew about it. I wanted to avoid complications and embarrassment. It was the inten tion of Look Magazine and my self to call the newspapers to gether on Jan. 8 and make a simultaneous announcement. In this way nobody would have been scooped." ~8Z... That's it! My store is full of SAVINGS on all items from socks to sport coats.
