W i l l be Presented
Matthew (Pat) Kennedy will be
guest speaker at the annual MAA
Banquet to be held tonight at 6:30
in the dining room of Sayles Hall.
Kennedy is at present the outstanding referee in the country. A
recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post dedicated several pages
to the acrobatic stunts, whistle
blasts, and oversized lungs of this
arbiter.
"Kennedy," the article
states, "in full cry, is a phenomenon
of unrestrained sound and fury."
I t continues, "He Is the most explosive, apoplectic and colorful referee who ever tooted a whistle."
No. 1 Referee
Not only is Kennedy noted for
his perpetual-motion action on the
court, but he is also a very capable
arbiter. He calls them close and
calls them right, and when he
does, everyone present hears and
sees that a foul is called. It is this
showmanship quality plus his capability that make Pat Kennedy
No. 1 referee In the land.
His popularity to both spectators
and players has made Kennedy a
fixture at the Madison Square Garden. Moreover, he is the only referee who was ever publicized as
part of the double-feature billings
at the Garden.
In announcing that Dr. William
Hartley was to be toastmaster at
the banquet, Owen Bombard, '43,
chairman of the affair, says that "in
Kennedy and Hartley we have two
people who certainly have excellent
knowledge of showmanship."
Awards Will Be Made
Numerous awards will be made
at the banquet. Varsity basketball
, men will receive letters and two' year men will be rewarded with gold
basketballs. Sweaters will be presented to co-captains Hank Brauner and Bill Dickson by Coach Hatfield who will also announce next
year's basketball captain. There will
also be an award for the best
athlete and for the person showing
the best sportsmanship in intramural sports.
Presentation of a key to the president of Intramural Council, Regis
Hammond, will head the intramural
awards. This will be followed by
awarding the basketball trophy to
College House and a plaque to the
bowling champs, Potter Club. Jim
Gillan will receive a trophy for
high individual in bowling, and Al
Stiller will receive the ping-pong
trophy he won last fall. Prosh numerals and a key to the '45 manager
will also be awarded.
Following the banquet all the
members of the Men's Athletic Association are invited by the women of
Pierce Hall to an open house in the
Ingle room.
EDUCATION FOR VICTORY
Slate Bowl en Lose to Siena
State's first venture In Intercollegiate bowling last Wednesday
ended in a defeat at the hands of
Siena. Gillan, Seifert, Duncan, Tassoni, Mullin, and Oarr, the best men
In the I-M league, were the men
representing State. The match was
bowled on the basis of total plnnage;
Siena toppled 2441, and State 2330.
A return match is scheduled.
Sophomores
Win Contest
Basketball Victory Gives
'44 Three Rivalry Points
The Sophs gained three points in
rivalry by wresting a victory from
a frosh team In a roughly fought
contest Wednesday. The final score
of 15-10 doesn't begin to describe
the fierce battle put up by both
teams.
The game started with swift
passes intercepted every other minute by the guards. Valente, Tlschler,
and Sanderson worked so efficiently
that the freshmen forwards had the
ball most of the first half. Giavelll
and Smith accounted for a basket;
and the half ended with the frosh
leading by a point, 5-4. LaSalle made
the four sophomore points.
Close guarding in the second half
kept the score low, but frequent pile
ups provided thrills for the spectators. Giavelli gained three more
points for the frosh and another
basket by LaSalle and a foul shot
by Pickert tied the score up at 8-8
at the close of the third quarter.
During the last quarter, the passing of the soph forwards speeded up;
Domann broke the tie with an
underhand toss. Giavelli came back
for the frosh with a shot from the
corner. In the next few minutes,
Pickert's foul shots and Breunig's
basket gave the sophs a five point
lead. Simmons, Dann and Latimer
smothered the ball until the final
whistle and victory.

Brauner to Organize
State Racquet-wielders
With the drying up of the mud
following Easter vacation, the twang
of the racquets of the State College
tennis team will once more resound
on the Ridgefleld courts.
Captain Henry Brauner plans to
start practicing in the gym immediately following Easter vacation.
As yet only three positions on the
team have definitely been taken, by
Hank Brauner, Newt Kensky and
Fran Mullin, Three positions remain wide open for those aspiring
"racqueteerlng" fame.
A ten-game schedule has been set
up for the tennis team. The sextet
will play two matches with RPI,
Siena, Cortland Normal, and Plattsburg Normal. One match will be
played with Brooklyn Poly and
Clarkson. Of these, five will be
home games.
Due to the shortening of the
school term, the tennis season will
open either April 23 with a home
game or April 24 at RPI. This
leaves a relatively short time for
the squad to get In shape. Therefore those interested must sign up
on the MAA bulletin board on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of
next week.

Sports may be dying in the American college set-up but here at State
there seems to be a general revival
of athletics as a big weekend is
flashed on the blackout shades.
This afternoon we have a benefit

between the Myskanla Mystery Men
and the State Faculty (mysteryhidden muscles). Another unique
contest will take place when the
campus teachers will be given a
chance to take it outron their Milne

be blood . . . and not transfusions!
Also in the athletic roundup Is
the annual MAA Banquet that
will take place tonight. Colorful Pat Kennedy has been scheduled to speak. We take our toupes
off to Bill Dickson, Owen Bombard,
and the other members of MAA
Council who are responsible for
getting such a top-ranking speaker for the event.
Despite the unprecedented selection of "fish-day" we heartily expound the cause and urge all sportsmen to be there when the starting
gun is fired . . . "commence eating"!
The saddest news of the day is
the flash that powerful LIU suffered defeat at the hands of the
University of West Virginia, after
leading 25-16 at half time. We
still think Claire Bee is great.
Another upset that occurred in
the National Invitation Tournament at the Garden in New York
was the defeat of West Texas
State Teachers (the tallest team
in the country) by Creighton
University, 59-58. Pat Kennedy
officiated, incidentally.
Tidbits in Sports
The women are certainly taking
the spotlight in rivalry. The basketball games are attracting large audiences—and they actually cheer for
their teams!

College House came back strong
to win the third and deciding game
of their play-off with Potter Club
for the intramural basketball championship by a 31 to 19 score.
It was all College House in the
first quarter as they took a commanding 10-0 lead. Potter Club
could not shake a man loose against
the opposition's zone defense.
The height of Ruback and Wise
gave College House possession of the
ball on nearly every Jump-ball or rebound from the basket. Ruback's
14 points was high for the game.

Where are all the girls of StateCollege going tomorrow night?
That's right, to the WAA Spring
Sports Spree. At eight o'clock the
gym will be set for an evening of
fun and entertainment.
For the first hour, the girls can
amuse themselves with games and
contests. Basketball, volley ball,
badminton, and ping-pong will be
set up to insure everyone something to do. The general chairman,
Leda LaSalle, promises that the basketball and volley ball will be plenty
strenuous for those who want to
play hard, and that ping-pong and
badminton will be exciting, but less
wearing.
Fencing and Dancing
The fencing class will exhibit
their skill in a demonstration of
the results of their Saturday morning lessons. The modern dance
group has guaranteed a program of
the latest modern dances which will
be amusing as well as instructive.
They intend to show us rhythmic
coordination if they're not too stiff
from practicing.
The bowling cup will be awarded
to the team having the highest
number of points in the six game
tournament. Psi Gam and Gamma
Kap still have one game each to
play, but unless they are tied, the
winner will be announced Saturday
night,
Remember the skit of a Camp
Johnston week-end at the WAA tea?
At the Spring Sports Spree there
will be another skit, just as much
fun as the last one.
Refreshments Too
Folk dancing will highlight the
evening with the usual hilarity and
exhaustion. But the girls will not
go home tired and hungry, because
refreshments are also on the program.
Kit Herdman and Win Jones have
charge of arrangements, Vee Leigh
and Teddy Jay, entertainment, and
Lois Dann refreshments. All these
people guarantee a super evening.

Keep out of the rut, State College! With
the busiest season of the college year coming
up, it is a natural thing for students to lose
sight of the major issues of the day. Elections, Moving-Up Day, finals, and graduation
tend to capture interest and enthusiasm. In
normal times, such events automatically and
rightly take first place. But this is 1942. We
are students in a nation at war. There are
extra demands on our time, our energies, our
minds.
Under the guidance of the War Activities
Council, State Students have entered wholeheartedly into a program keyed to the spirit
of today. In the victory classes, covering
nearly every phase of war work, there is a
high percentage of students enrolled. At
two points within the college, war-savings
stamps and bonds are on sale. State College
is geared to a war-time way of life.
It was a relatively simple step to shift to
an altered method of operation. It would be
equally simple to fall back into the old system, where the student's world is bound by
the college campus and its activities. And
this is the very thing that we at State must
avoid.
Despite college budgets and nominations,
the world is still in a state of conflict. War
activities go on, requiring the same amount
of support and effort. With Sophomore Soiree
slated for tonight, the victory stamp corsage
again makes its bid for support. The idea, introduced at Junior Prom, was far from successful. Students either were too reluctant
to give up the conventional flowers or regarded the campaign as a "freak" stunt.
Neither attitude has a place in a nation at
war. If we aren't ready to give up the little
things, how will we react when big sacrifices are in order ?
Other colleges are taking life seriously.
One college eliminated flowers at one of its
formals and bought five hundred dollars'
worth of war savings stamps. Many
schools, too, have started blood banks, the
students giving a pint of their blood, and
thus establishing a life-saving reservoir. A
few State students have done likewise at the
Albany Hospital; there is no reason why
others cannot donate their blood to a worthy
cause. State has done well, but it can do
better.
The motto of the day is still "All out for
Victory." The war fronts of the world are
still blackened by shot, shell, and falling
bombs. Let's not belittle our part in the conflict. We DO have a definite part, and a
working program whereby we can make our
efforts to the best advantage. Let's not fail
in carrying it out.
Wan, QWHUU
•by FeigenbaumThe Japanese have definitely by-passed Australia and are concentrating their efforts on a two-headed drive on India. They are attempting to drive through British and Chinese lines in Central Burma to
reach the eastern provinces of India where a large Japanese fifthcolumn was recently uncovered. Hoping to completely demoralize the
conference between Sir Stafford Cripps and the Indian leaders, the
Japs launched an attack against the island of Ceylon off the southeastern tip of India. But Ceylon was ready for them, and in the matter
of four days they shot down 137 J a p planes and sunk 20 J a p ships.
This means that the rising sun had set for approximately 30,000
Japanese soldiers.
Outnumbered 20 to 1, pounded unceasingly by enemy planes, and
facing a foe who is driving ahead regardless of losses, General Wainwright's small army on the Bataan Peninsula was defeated. Wainwright
arriving at Corregidor, radioed the War Department that Bataan was
lost. Corregidor will still fight on.
Activity on the Russian front has come to a virtual standstill caused
by the spring thaw which brings bottomless mud bogs. However, gigantic
air battles are taking place all along the front, and these should last for
about two more weeks, after which both armies are expected to open up
with everything they have. This is the crucial battle of the war.
The Germans had concentrated strong naval units in Norwegian ports
in order to cut the allied supply route to the Russian port of Murmansk,
and they attempted to destroy the port itself with heavy air bombings.
British, American, and Russian naval and air units defeated all Nazi
attacks.
The British are finally on the offensive on the Western front. British
Commando units attacked the Norwegian ports of Trondheim and
Narvik. But the most devastating attack was on the French port of
St. Nazaire which the Germans had been using as a submarine base.
The British destroyed the docks, installations, and most important they
destroyed the locks which make the port useless until they are repaired.
Soph Silhouettes
by Rhone Ryan
Do you want somebody to work
for you, entertain you, answer a
problem for you? Don't look any
farther then, the Sophomore class
can supply the person. The class
which has broken all traditions at
State holds on to one ideal—the
members stick together and are
very proud of the outstanding personalities in the class. When they
start to talk about the kids who do
things and set paces for the rest
of the school they're pretty sure to
mention these:
Pat Carroll, who manages to do
everything well, and efficiently. A
swell President with the complete
respect of the class. And luscious
Pat Latimer and Kay Doran who
uphold the standards of beauty for
the class. Brown-eyed Georgia Hardesty, who sees that the class gets
publicity quietly and faithfully; the
very feminine athletes, Mary Domann and Kit Herdman. And Rich
Young and Bob Combs see that
the men hold their own In State,
unci very well, too!
Perhaps you're looking for students who will work night after
night on a paper or activity with
faithfulness and energy? Take your
choice among these: Busy, beautiful
Baxter, the sophisticate of the P.O.,
who writes well besides, and irrepressible Skolsky, always there if
you need him, Aney, good in the
drama and literary field, anxious to
help in any new activity which will
help State, Aungst, who dances like
a dream, and conceals an enviable
business head behind those sparkling eyes, and Serabian, and Shay,
always working, never wanting
credit, but gaining the respect of
the whole school in their modest
way. Plus Stengel and "Gravel",
who are right on the ball all the
time. And don't forget the acidtongued Kiley, or that swell guy,
Ray Verrey, who works like a demon
for any class function, and Fred
Beyer too. The whole activity office
gang is a swell one.
If you're looking for artistic talent
stop right here. There's Honey
Schoen, bubbling over with puns
and quips and fun, writing skits and
planning entertainments, and the
glamorous Studebaker, probably the
most competent actress in the class
and unexcelled in pantomime. Then
Soderlind and White and Ashworth,
McFeeley and Snow can handle any
sort of a part pretty magnificently.
And no one can overlook the incomparable Barselou who steals
whole plays from the best actors
at State.
In music we have Snow, who
saved the day by learning his part
for "Pinafore" In one day last year,
and knows his classics Inside out,
and his pal, Marshall.
As for studies, well, there's Wlrosloff who makes Dean's list from
force of habit, Dick Delts, Williams, Fisher, Baird, and a host of
others who make classes a pleasure
for the faculty.
And for glamour, oh boy, just
count them off—Sovik, Lichtwart,
Latimer, Studebaker, Hardesty, Baxter . . . practically everyone in the
class deserves a mention for that.
It's a temptation not to mention
everyone in the class, since every
member has done something to deserve praise, but I'll Just have to
trail off, murmuring, "What a class,
what a class I"
Where Oh Where Are The Gay Young Sophomores . . .
The Irish have St. Patrick's day and the class of '44
has the sophomore edition of the news . . . Now all
the outstanding sophomores are not to be found cluttered about a wheel, or lounging about the publications
office (the GHQ for those "in the know") . . . Some
credit must go to those who have given up the hurried
leisure of college to protect the blessings of the Amer!can way of life, and so we proudly present and pay
tribute to those on the Honor Roll of the class of 'ifi.
BILL FORREST . . . tall, blonde . . . would have
been President of his class but for a revival of the
feminist movement . . . defeated by three votes. At
present, with the rest of the marines, he's remembering Wake Island . . .
VAN SCHULZE . . . glamour boy about State . .
and what is more noteworthy, well liked by everyone
Van is in the department that flies the planes thai
our Victory savings stamps buy . . . Keep him flying
. . . Not content to fight in one war, he recently got
married . . .
BILL MURRAY . . . tall, whimsical, reminded you
somewhat of James Stewart. Bill left last year to
enter West Point, where he is learning to keep 'em
marching . . .
JOE McCABE . . the small, dark and dynamic forward of last year's frosh basketball team. Joe Is
stationed at Maxwell Field . . . the State College of
the aviation cadet . . .
STAN LEVEN . . . medium height, blonde . . . wore
glasses . . . A pleasant guy, the type you like to have

Stan entered the service.
Support Doug's Dance
Give the boys a boost by coming to the MacArthur
dance in the Ingle Saturday night . . . show that we
are behind them 100% . . . and enjoy yourself while
you are helping the cause . . .
A perfect evening at the Elysian fields of 221
Ontario street . . . soft lights . . . sweet music . . . and
while you're whispering witty or clever things into the
ear of the reason your heart beats in overtime . . .
some soldier is getting a break, 'cause you're providing
a few more bullets for him . . . which may come in
handy . . .
After all, if Schenectady can give the Battler of
Bataan 5 tanks, State College ought to be able to
outfit a couple of rowboats . . .
The Corsage Question
Buy a flower for the girl's h a h , and buy stamps
for the gown (arranged perhaps in V shape). Thus
two birds, or better Japs, will be eliminated with one
stone. Your girl will still enjoy the flattering, fragrant
addition of a flower in her hair, and will wear as well
a V of victory stamps—to help others who won't be
able to be dancing in the security we now enjoy.
We've got to remember that any purchase of
stamps helps to ward off the not impossible horror
of an allied defeat. After all, this war is more serious
and on a larger scale than an intramural tournament
or even the all-out sickening scramble sometimes
alluded to as rushing . . .
Ship ahoy, ye landlubbers ! Naughtily—we mean nautically—-speaking,
frosh camp broke the champagne bottle of welcome over the bow of the
S.S. '44; and thus the Sophomore class embarked upon its maiden voyage.
And it was a maiden voyage in more ways than one, when Maid Carroll
took the helm to steer straight to the port of Rivalry Victory.
The voyage was long and rough according to the ship's log as
kept by Kay Doran. On thumbing through the pages, we recalled
some of the thrills on the high C's of State.
NOVEMBER 10, 1940: A storm has been brewing all
day. Itfinallybroke tonight on the top deck of Draper when
enemy ship S.S. '43 drew up along portside and tried to
take wind out of our sails. A hardy battle ensued and
we were surrounded. The Myskania life-saving crew,
however, hauled in the sails, but the yellow tide rose
to greater heights.
JANUARY 15, 1941: Today the decks of
gym were swabbed in good order by and with
the crew. The decks shone brilliantly despite
the fact that the mops used were 43 years
old. Seaman Kit Herdman was in charge
of the clean-up job.
MAY 9, 1941: Rumors all week
of a stowaway on board ship. Crew
have been keeping a lookout. To
night Seaman Hank Ruback,
lounging in the fo'castle found
the dear little stranger. Crew
adopted it.

Closer observance revealed it to be a native island. Island king and
dancing girls came aboard ship, and put on a show. Crew enjoyed the novelty, but one of the higher ship officers left the deck. Warm in hare,
isn't it ?
MAY 16, 1941: Remained in port only for day visit. In need of
repairs, refueling and the like. Chose Maid Carroll captain for second term (senatorial courtesy, also garconial courtesy). Changed
first mate though. Seaman Latimer offered better position on
S.S. Association. Found Seaman Young to take her place. (A
little green yet, but should be richly warmed up in time to
take command of next year's dance.)
Crew thought the days of Indians had past, but one
seaman got temporarily scalped by savage pirates.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1941
Who Will Be N e x t ? (Editors' Note:
by the Sophomore Desk Editors
The following is an expression of opinion and does
not necessarily reflect the views of the STATE COLLBOB NEWS. The
tion therein was correct at the time of
When State College voters visit
the Commons balcony on Tuesday,
April 14, they must remember that
just as it is important that the
nation have an efficient war-time
administration, so is it necessary for
the welfare of the college to select
capable leaders.
A singular maneuver was made
on Wednesday when Thomas Feeney, a formidable contender for
President of Student Association,
withdrew his name from the list of
candidates. He now plans to run
for President of the class as a "third
term" candidate. Howard Lynch Is
a newcomer to loom on the political
horizon. Not a politician, he, however, is well-known as a reliable
committee worker. His popularity
has aided him in attaining the presidency of Potter Club for next year.
Still, If Potter fails to withdraw Regis Hammond, the Club's vote may
be split, and Lynch will undoubtedly
be defeated. All this seems to indicate the swing to Vanas on the
political pendulum. Aside from the
support of the loyal SLS fraternity
informa-
printing).
he is also backed by a powerful
College House combination.
There seem to be many conflicting
opinions concerning the Vice-Presidency, which may ultimately result
in a political upset. Pat Latimer,
the only woman candidate, Is benefited by political experience. VicePresident of the class in her freshman year, she then gained the key
position of secretary of Student Association. Her most powerful opponent was found in Bob Combs,
who withdrew in favor of a try for
class president. The possibilities of
Fred Beyer and Hal Ashworth are
deemed equal; both are backed by
their fraternities, and will be aided
by their likeable personalities and
large feminine following.
As for the Secretaryship, Fran
Mullin will doubtlessly afford strong
competition, since he is backed by
the powerful Potter Club, and aided
by the expected division in women's
votes. Martha Sprenger was a capable and popular songleader and
may offset the excess feminine candidates.

W i l l be War Stamps
A national collegiate holiday will
be held on MacArthur Day, April
11, when colleges throughout the
country aid in an all-out drive for
the sale of War Savings stamps.
The college will do its part in
conducting a vie dance to be sponsored by Pierce Hall from 8:30 to
11:30 P.M. under the auspices of the
War Activities Council. Admission
may be secured upon the purchase
of a minimum of three ten-cent
defense stamps on sale at the Co-op
or at the door. On each purchase a
red, white and blue ribbon will be
given, and students are urged to
wear both ribbon and stamps to the
dance.
Entertainment for the affair will
feature the Four Men of State, Bill
Dickson, Ira Hirsh, and Max Reeves,
seniors, and George Edict of Milne,
singing old and new war songs
which range all the way from
Mademoiselle to Remember Pearl
Harbor. They will also lead a community sing in which more patriotic songs will be sung.
The women of the college are
urged to join in the "dutch treat"
and buy their own stamps to aid as
much as possible In the extensive
drive.
PAGf I
Faculty Bows to Amazing Sophomore Aggregation
By Jeanette Shay
"If you don't pat yourself on the
back, nobody else will." This saying may apply to some people, but
its author never met the Sophomore
class of State College. The members of the class of '44 don't have
to pat themselves on the back, for
their admiring teachers realize how
modest they are and do it for them.
Dr. Hartley, when approached by
a News reporter and asked to express his opinion of said class,
opened his class book and upon
perusing Its revealing pages, remarked, "My principal objection to
the Sophomores is that they are
such a unique group that I find it
difficult to And anyone to give C's
to. I have to give all A's and B's.
However, I have found them extremely generous, especially the
boys who gave me a red bow tie
for Christmas. As far as the girls
are concerned, their pulchritude is
only excelled by their keen intellect,
wit, and charm of personality."
Although the commerce teachers
holding sway on third floor Draper,
have encountered only a small proportion of the class, they have very
positive impressions of the group
they have met. "The Sophomores
seem to be very peppy," said Miss
Avery. "From my very limited contact with them," stated Mr. Cooper,
"I am of course Impressed by their
general appearance and the diligent
effort displayed in their class work."
Even Mr. Gemmell, the latest addition to the commerce faculty, appreciates the superiority of the
Sophomore class. He said, "My
three months at State College have
not all been spent in orientation. In
fact, I have been conducting a bit
of research 'as it 'twere,' comparing
the Intelligence and Ingenuity of
college Sophomores with that of
high-school Sophomores, and, contrary to educational fact and popular belief, the college Sophs are Just
a mite quicker on the downbeat!"
A lot is heard about the lack of
men at State but according to Miss
Futterer the class of '44 does not
suffer from such a deficiency. Enthusiastic in her praise of the sophomores, she declared, "I think it's
a swanky class. I could have made
two Advanced Dramatics classes
this year. I've actually had to struggle over my choice. What's more
I'm going to have some men." Miss
Hopkins labeled the Sophomores as
dependable and resourceful. She
even went so far as to say, "The
Sophomores are the best workers in
my stagecraft group."
Dr. Croasdale, who does not see
many Sophomores this year says
she remembers them from last year
as "the most dynamic, stimulating,
and up-and-coming crowd—a challenge to any teacher I"
Maybe it's a compliment, maybe
not, but Dr. RIenow says he can't
distinguish between the Sophomores,
Juniors, and Seniors. At least it
shows that the freshmen green has
worn off. Of the class of '44, Dr.
Rienow said, "Any class with three
more years ahead In troubled times
such as these must be commended
for its courage, foresight, tenacity,
and willingness to work for a goal
(and shift while they approach it)."
Although Dr. D. V. Smith says
that he "always liked Sophomores
anyway," he agreed that this Sophomore class Is a little better than
usual, "especially In the talking
line."
To avoid the possibility of some
freshman's thinking the above article is colored by prejudice on the
part of the writer, a few of Dr.
Jones' quotations are included. He
describes the Sophomores as "a
charmingly daft gang of brilliant
madmen" and "lovable Idiots."
"The beauty of the men" said he,
"is only surpassed by the brilliance
of the women."
Mademoiselle Conducts Poll
In a nation-wide poll conducted
by Mademoiselle, 25 women from
this college were selected at random
to state their preference in campus
styles. Some of the questions asked
concerned the type and color of
sweaters preferred, the style and
color of shoes customarily worn,
and an estimate of the price paid
for both articles. Results of the poll
will be published in the college Issue of the magazine in August.

Soph BuU
by Vtirty and Oarr
Since the Sophs have undoubtedly been the outstanding sportsmen this year, it is considered
fitting that at this time the outstanding Soph athletes should pass
In review.
With the opening of the intramural football season on our return
to school last fall the Sophs immediately showed up as the bulwark
of several , squads. Red Evan's
spectacular runs were sure ground
gainers for EEP, while Bob Comb's
passing and Rich Young's receiving
were constant scoring threats.
The Ramblers were held together
by our Bert Klley, who both played
and coached. Now and then Bill
Marsland snared a pass from Ray
Verrey to score for KDR. A team
composed of this unique combination walloped the frosh grldders
13-12.
Forty-four's power was also
shown as they bowled over the freshmen in push ball 18-10.
At about the same time the Soph
girls under the leadership of Mary
Domann and Kit Herdman garnered two out of three points in
the girls' obstacle races to lengthen
the Soph rivalry lead to 7-1.
Sophs in Basketball
Varsity basketball was also dependant on several Sophomores.
Bill Marsland was invariably in there
under the basket, taking rebounds
time and again. Set shots were
"Robin" Comb's specialty as he
netted many points for the Alma
Mater. Two of the most spirited
boys on the whole squad were Rich
Young and Bill Miller, inspirations
to any team.
The varsity's loss was College
House's gain in the person of Hank
Ruback, '44. Hank was definitely
the most vulnerable scorer of the
intramural league, as he took individual high scoring honors easily.
He was aided by Clarence Oarr and
Henry Wise, both Sophomores, in
leading College House to the top
of the league.
Red Evans, Charlie Capel, Hal
Ashworth, Avrom Koblenz, Bert
Kiley, Pred Beyer, and Paul O'Leary
were all Sophomore "finds" for
their respective intramural basketball teams. The squad composed oi
these men walked over the freshmen hopefuls 38-33.
Females Shine Also
The female "yellow devils," composed of Kit Herdman, Mary Domann, Leda LaSalle, Marge Breunig,
and Jane Pickert, forwards, and Pat
Latimer, Dot Simmons, Lois Dann,
and Dot Townsend, guards, defeated
the crimson tide in two out of three
contests to add three more rivalry
points.
And if you think the women of
'44 are sissies, you should see Pat
Carroll and Teddy Jay fence I
The only two '44ers out for tennis,
Bill Marsland and Bernard Bernhardt, are bound to be a great help
to State's prime spring sport,
The opening of the softball season will see the usual athletic Sophs
standing out for their group teams.
Their ability to defeat the freshman softballers can only be told
by time,
With the rivalry score at 15 V43Vii the Sophs look ahead with confidence to theii chances of repeating their former athletic predominance over the frosh.
Men't Ping Pong Tournament
The men's annual ping-pong
tournament is well under way, two
matches having been comploted at
present. The difficulty In finding a
time when all four men may be able
to play is the main reason why more
matches have not been played,
The winners of those completed
are Cooke and Toepfer, and Bartman and Bittman.
