State Cagers Aim For Second Straight Triumph
In Tilt With New Paltz Tomorrow Night In Page Gym
Qiomjlk*
Sidelines.
By BOB ASHFIELD
If all the basketball courts around
the circuit which the Peds will play
on this winter had the same dimensions as that of our own Page
hardwood, there would be no doubt
as to State's superior team. Coach
Hathaway's men could even go as
far as to go through the rest of
the season undefeated, with their
greatest test, as we see it, coming
from Plattsburg State.
Just to verify this statement, let
us look at the past records of
State—at home and on the road.
Last year State lost 2 games at
home, one to Maritime Academy,
and one to Pratt. On the road they
lost some 7 games. The previous year, State lost only one at
Page, that being the first game of
the year, again to Maritime, while
losing 6 on other courts. There is
no need to delve further into the
records, as all the results are similar to those stated.
It is true that playing on a home
court generally results in the addition of a couple of wins to the
books due to playing on a familiar
court. But when a team holds such
an impressive home record, some
other factor must be the cause. If
we look back over some of the
games that State lost last year,
we see that State lost by one point
in New Haven on their big court,
while they turned them back here
decisively. State bowed to the
Utica Tangerines in an overtime
tilt there last year, while winning
easily at home—they, too, had a
respectable size court. Other results can be cited that point to the
fact that State's grammar school
gym is their toughest opponent. No
team can be expected to do well
on a larger court when they are
accustomer to a small one—and
through the campaign just take notice of how the Peds stack up
against their opposition at home
and on the road.
To consider the same problem
through another angle—the spectators—we doubt if very much has
has to be said on this. It is impossible to sit in the bleachers and
watch a game without having to
use your imagination to overcome
the blind spots set up by those
pillars. It is needless to say that
a better representation of Albany
fans would frequent the games if
we had an adequate court both for
the players and the spectators, because they would. Comments from
various Albanians confirm this.
To say that we need a new Kytn
would be the understatement of the
decade. So, since State is in the
process of expansion with respect
to annexes, coursess of study, and
general facilities, why can't our
which for a gym be given some
consideration at least?
Maybe if we are real good, Santa
Claus would put a plan in our
Christmas stocking.

Joe's Barber Shop
With intramural basketball entering its second week of play,
many teams are already showing
mid-season form.
In loop action last week, the
power-laden Potter Club "nosed"
out Sayles 64-19. The game proved
to be nothing more than a practice session for the State Street
boys. Erv Horawitz had 14 for the
victors, while Fred Willis hooped
in 10 for the Sayles team.
APA in Easy Victory
APA took their opener by handing the Vets a 53-21 trouncing.
Jim Bennet paced the attack for
the frat men with 17. Hank Midler's nine represented the best effort for the Vets.
"Apathetic" was the word as the
Soccomen handed the Apathetics a
64-29 lacing in Wednesday's other
affair. Individual scoring honors
of the .game went to the Soccomen's
Al Rocklein with 17 and the Apathetics' Bob Sinkledam with 13
markers.
In Saturday's final game Jack
Hughes and Bob Smith led SLS to
their first victory of the young season by defeating Van Derzee 66-29.
Smith had 18 and Hughes 16. Ron
Ganslow scored 13 for the losers.
The easiest, victory of the day was
gained by the Indians as they were
awarded a forfeit over Ridge.
In a lowscoring tussle played last
weekend, the Apaches found themselves on the short end of a 33-26
score against the Pinks. Sam
Krchniak was the only player able
to hit double figures as he found
the range for 11 points.
Booters Invincible Thus Far
The men from Hilltop were handed their second defeat of the season Monday at the hands of the
Booters. The soccermen, switching uniforms for the season, are
proving to be as proficient in the
loop game as on the soccer field.
Eill Lindberg, star of the Booters' first game, conceded .scoring
honors to brother John with 17
points. Charlie Thibault's 10 was
high for the Hilltoppers.
In the closest battle of the week,
KB edged the Rousers 38-37. Abe
Blattman again led KB, this time
with 23. Hank Berleth sink 13 for
the losers.
The Finks came up with their
second victory of the season by defeating the Apathetics 56-30. The
only consolation the Apathetics got
was that Bob Sinkledam was the
game's high scorer with 19. Len
Davis sparked the Finks with 14.

The State College hoop squad will be attempting to get
their organization further on the victory trail tomorrow
night when they clash with the highly-rated New Paltz "5."
The Statesmen began their skein last week with a scintillating 72-to-71 triumph over Willimantic State Teachers of
Connecticut. If the saying "It takes the champions to win
the close ones" is true, the Hathaway men bear observation
for championship material. The Hathawaymen are now
sporting a one-win, one-loss record, having dropped their
opener to RPI.
Last week's clash was a real thriller of the Frank Merriwell degree, the outcome being decided by a pair of free
throws with one second remaining. Nels LaRoe earned a
