Bert Kiley

Not that you won or lost

But how you played the game.

The above is one of the two sports
maxims that have siuck in our
mind. It seemed particularly ap-
propriate in its original setting—
hanging in the room of one of the
best sportsmen and nicest fellows
ever seen hereabovts—Bill Haller,

The other slogan was also apro-
pos of its setting. Perhaps more ap-
plicable to war tactics than the for-
mer, it being in the dressing room
of the Albany High football team.
It said:

Results, not excuses.

Gripe, Vintage '42

An item came up in the recent
Myskania tiff that is of enough
universal import to warrant rehash-
ing. We refer to the reading of
Bernie Skolsky's letter, This letter,
or parts of it, was read in assembly
and reprinted in the G.I. column.

We hope Bernie didn’t know what
he was doing. He was using his
position as a soldier to give an emo-
tionalized appeal for a status quo
State. He did not hesitate to speak
for the entire group of State stu-
dents in the service. The fallacy
becomes more apparent when one
considers that Bernie was never a
typical State student. However, he
would have made Myskania.

Any individual who uses this
“soldier” devise is guilty of cashing
in on the war, Rickenbacker did it
last year. Others have pulled it
since. It will be used in national
and world politics in the near future
to gain selfish ends, It's easy to
spot if you're looking for it. Watch
out—it’s dangerous.

With all this quavering-voice
“boys out there” business floating
around, we can't help recalling a
day in the fall of '42, when some of
our “patriots” were quite nasty
about refunding a half year's Stu-
dent Tax to State students who
would leave for the Armed Forces
before the end of the first semeste
‘The purpose of the "no refund" was
to protect the secret surplus, which
since has been clipped for its items
ranging from curtains to Kiley's
picture, The total refunds would
have amounted to about 35 dollars,

An interesting epiloque is the fact
that when one student left this
year, she asked for and got her
refund

Sayles Hall Triumphs Twice

Psi Gam, Phi

Newman, Gamma Kaps,
KD’s, Rares Conquer

The WAA basketball league had
a busy week with seven games being
played off and the league standings
becoming more definite.

Hollis proved the star of the Gam-
ma Kap - Moreland game. The
spunky Moreland frosh led her team
from an almost complete shutout at
the half to within 7 points of the
winning Gamma Kap squad. The
game started off slow but livened
up after the halfway mark to end
with the Morelanders trailing 23-16.
Rares Triumph

Wren met the Rares in a slow-
moving encounter. Davidson turned
in her usual capable job to pace the
Rares to a 20-11 win.

In a fast, rough game, Sayles came
from behind after trailing for the
first three periods to eke out a 25-
23 victory over Newman. The Sayles
aggregation showed some well de-
veloped passwork, Daly and O’Grady
sparked their team, while their
guards did some hard fighting on
the other side of the floor.

Phi Delt, led by Seymour and
Braithwaite, came from behind
after trailing Gamma Kap for three
quarters, to win 30-24, In the last
period of play, the Phi Delt squad
played excellent ball, holding their
opponents down to 4 points while
gaining 12 of their own,
Superwoman Giavelli

Glavelli, in the Psi Gam, Farrell
game, reached the realm of the bas-
ketball great by scoring 30 points
in one game and beating all indivi-
dual records in the league so far
this year. The game had little else
to distinguish it. Farrell played
hard but was doomed from the start.
Sayles Upsets BZ

The Saylesmen defeated BZ in
another of their upset games.
Breunig starred for Sayles with 18
tallies to her credit, The Partridge
St. squad has developed into a fast,
capable team. Their victory over
BZ puts the latter into the twice
defeated column and maintains
Sayles’ record of but one loss. The
game was a hard fight all the way
through, with the guards on both
sides doing creditable work,

Moreland’s game against Newman
was uninteresting. From the begin-
ning it was obvious that Newman
was to be the winner and the score
of 26-5 in favor of Newman bears
this out, Moreland showed flashes
of brilliant playing but could not
sustain these long enough to be any
real threat,
spie Struggle

ig and KD waded into each
other to produce an exciting game.
KD scored first and lost the lead
once when Chi Sig pulled
id by one point. Both teams
played a hard, driving game, but
KD's guarding was effective when
the chips were down. Domann and
Herdman respective — high
scorers for Chi Sig and KD with 12
points apiece.

Players Wanted

State Is Out To Lunge
With Swords At 20 Feet

Foiled again! They say fencing
is an invaluable asset to any well-
rounded, er, personality. After
all you never know when you will
be called upon to fight a duel, you
know. It’s best to be prepared!

Tomorrow morning at 10 A.M.
State's dashing damsels are plan-
ning to “touche” their rivals to
pieces in the Page Hall arena.

The rules will be regular, but
not so the contestants. The men
(yes, read it again) from La Salle
Institute in Troy are set to oppose
our girls on the field of honor.

All those with gory temper-
ments are invited to come and
watch the proceedings and may-
hap carry off the bruised and
broken remains of—the referee?

using eleven. However, an umpire
should never be considered a player.
The Roving Reporter

Several men have been interview-
ed as to their desire for tripping
over the sod diamonds, Herb Brock
said that he had too much to do.
Dave Lehman was sent by the idea
and expressed his willingness to
play, Bert Kiley, who hit the first
home-run in last year’s intramural
play, was also agreeable to the sug-
gestion. This is three, but there
should be some men among the in-
coming freshmen who like to wave
the willow wand at a high hard one.
If there are, please get in touch with
Kiley at the P.O.

In former years, softball was one
of the big athletic events of the
Frosh-Soph rivalry. Because of the
shortage of men last year no game
was played, but in 1942 the sopho-
mores roundly trounced the fresh-
men 14-3 and won the three points
that were then awarded for the
game. If the sophomores could
scrape together a team the fresh-
men fellows might have a chance
to win a few points for thelr class.
Them Were the Days

Intramural softball has seen some
rather interesting races in the last
few years. The type of games that
were played is best shown in the
EEP-KB fracas of May, 1942, KB
was off to a 10-0 lead in the first
inning only to have Potter win it 11-
10. The climax of the game came
when Bill Dickson of EEP hit a
story-book home-run with a man on
bi to win the game.

Softball is quite
baseball in many respect:

In outward appearances softball
looks very much like ball, but
in addition to the ten men per Leam,
it is played with a larger ball, a
smaller bat and bases that are thirty
feet nearer to each other than they
are in hard ball. The players also
wear sneakers instead of spikes, All
these things make a fast, exciting
game. Also, it gives the femme
fatales of State something Lo swoon
about.

Sophs Capture
Swimming Event

On March 9, the rivalry swim meet
was held in the Public Bath No. 3
on Central Avenue. It was a victory
for the class of '46,

There were six races to which a
total of 40 points was allotted. The
first, netting 5 points for the Sophs,
was a relay, Jane Mills and Jean
Groden brought this event to a
“neck and neck” finish, out of
which Groden emerged the victor

The next event was a novelty

The candle race was held inthe
form of a relay. Bullock and ‘Trav-
ers came down the last relay to-
gether, but Bullock nosed her our
in a dramatic last-minute spurt of
speed, garnering 5 points for the
Sophs.

Diving for Pennies

‘The last event of the meet con-
sisted in diving for pennies, The
Sophs collected almost twice as
many pennies as the Frosh.

Last Friay afternoon Page Hall
court was the scene of one of
the hardest fought games of the
rivalry series. The green and white
squad came through with a 37-32
win over the Sophs as a result of
an overtime period.

The well organized teamwork of
the Frosh sextet gave Dunn, Gro-
den and Vernoy, and ‘46's defense,
a great deal of trouble. Despite the
difficulty encountered by the Soph
defense, they were sucessful in
holding Baker to two baskets

The Frosh score ran up as they
dropped one free throw after another
due to eighteen fouls committed by
the Sophs.

Russo was the spearhead on the
Frosh offensive and led her team to
victory with 23 points. Margot and
Sweeney, guards on the Frosh squad,
obstructed the scoring efforts of
Seymour and Slack. In spite of this
opposition, Seymour walked off with
15 points followed closely by Slack
who tallied 11,

At the close of the regular con-
test the score was deadlocked 31-31.
In the overtime period the Gremlins
gained six points, forcing the Sulli-
van sextet to bow out in defeat.

This victory was the second for
Frosh out of the three games played
for rivalry points. Three points were
awarded to the frosh making the
rivalry score 8!y-5?

In Assembly Today

After an absence of nearly four
years, Dr. Harold W. Thompson,
former Professor of English and
vibrant State personality, will return.
to speak before the student body at
the request of Signum Laudis in
today’s Assembly. The remaining
items of business on the program
will be the reading of the names of

members by Dr. John M. Sayles,
President of the College, and voting
on the Big Ten motion which was
tabled until this week.

‘Twenty Years at State

Dr, Thompson or “Dr. Tommy" as
he was affectionately referred to by
students and faculty is one of the
legends in State College history, For
more than twenty years, Dr, Thomp-
son was one of the most beloved
teachers at State. His history is
briefly and factually summarized in
Who's Who in America, giving his
birthplace as Buffalo, New York,
1891, In 1912, he obtained his Ph. B.
at Hamilton College, his A. M, at
Harvard in 1913, and his Ph. D. at
Harvard in 1915. In addition to
his other honors, he is a Fellow of
the Guggenheim Foundation, and
the recipient of numerous honorary
degrees including those from Edin-
burgh University, Union College and
others.

What Who's Who in America can-
not describe can best be supplied by

Off We Go—

This, State College, is a breathing space. ‘There

will be, to be trite, one more storm a final cata-

wasp on the part of the itlready gasping

accompanied by the mournfully joyous

sigh of Moving-Up Day and concluded by the death
rattle of graduation,

But forgive us, we become facetious, Somehow,
this seems to be the only possible note to sound, for
we are Seniors, Behind us is a growing weariness,
bred in the melting pot of politics and that great
institution, the extra-curricular, We are tired, and
so we gripe. But ahead of us is the time when we
will no longer be tired of it all, and then we shall
be sorry,

For we, in spite of our groans and grumbles, have
loved State College. We have seen our Alma Mater
in pre-war days, when we danced and dated; we
have seen the transition, painful stretching to the
realization that the indefinable something that
meant State to us was gone, for us, forever, And
now, at last, we have seen a new State emerge from
what seemed hopeless remnants.

Those who have never known the State we loved

Well, at last, at long last, comes
a modulated criticism—the last
plays of the AD season made a
satisfying evening on the whole,
Cheers! I can be my own sweet
self.

The first play concerned itself
with the famed Alcott family, given
to the young in heart forever in the
book, Little Women.

Unfortunately, the play is badly
written, extremely had The
warmth of the book is. lacking.
But- on the whole—the play turned
out rather well. It was refreshing,
to use an overworked word, and
reached its climax with the wonder-
ful Christmas play, as Baxter stood
on a chair- those famous legs enyel-
oped in pantaloons. and made with
all four gestures. Quelle wonderful,
T laughed myself ill,

Baxter was the stand-out in this
play, looking cute as a bug's ear in
pantaloons and hoop-skirt. ‘The
seene with Fred Shoemaker, who
played Laurie, where the two folded
blankets, and Janet got coy when
their hands touched, was the best
hit of business in the play. (1 forgot
to add that Baxter was Amy),

Putnam was Mrs, March, and in
attempting to be calm, and quiet,
lost some projection, I say, stating
it clumsily. There is such a thing
as under-under-playing, and I
think that's what happened, Breu-
nig did a strong Jo, but unfortun-
ately, one remembers the coltish
and somewhat beautiful Hepburn in
the part, The rest of the east was
adequate—and the play turned out
to be a restful period piece, Con-
grats to Kippy, my revered fellow
columnist, for not burlesquing it,

lost its strangeness for us. We have felt sorry for
them, but our pity has fallen on unresponsive
shoulders. This we have not fully understood; it
will be a sad day when we do finally understand

reality, an easy phrase that falls meaninglessly from
so many lips, But, for us, it cannot be said that
they existed in vain. A hundred lost details have
integrated themselves into our personalities, our
own philosophies of life; they reveal themselves
daily in every action, every gesture, every thought
Ht is hard to say what we mean, and yet we feel
that we have much to say odd fragments of sense
and nonsense that will make their bow on this page
sometime before the final swan song. This is a
prelude, a preface to some yet uiknown conclusion

The second play, directed by Irene

stand-out productions of this year
of AD. Concerning itself with the
French Revolution, it managed to
be completely convincing, and cer-
tainly there was the best stageful
of characters that's been assembled
this year to joy the heart of an
embittered old critic. Martha Joyce
and Ruth Schmitt were completely
harrowing as “searchers,” looking
for aristocrats. Miriam Quinlan

wide-scoped innovation—appreciate the beneficence!

'To those of us who will leave our places around the

(whoops, forgot about coal rationing!), the Coke

You, the present und men, are the guardians of

make the “machine” shine brighter—figuratively and
tritely speaking, ‘how true!) but rather speaking

good many peuple consider tradition a lot of hog-wash
but the majority says tradition is here to stay. If the
present freshman class is too ill-natured to stick to
the rules of the game, and their rival class is too in-

throw the whole mess back to the Indians?

Remnants of the Folklore col-

ant Professor of English, have in-
vaded the library exhibition case.
Dr. Jones has loaned English and
Irish broadsides to the Library for
exhibition this week.

Webster defines a broadside as a
name given to sheets printed on one
side only used for poetical effusions
news items, and political propa-
ganda. The broadsides on exhibition
are folk-songs, printed mainly dur-
ing the Civil War and World War I,
the words being variations of ballads
which were taken down, set to stan-
dard ballad tunes, and sold,

Though the broadsides have been
supereeded by the newspaper and
radio, they were used extensively in
World War I. Dr, Jones has loaned
materials from his numerous hobbies
to the Library several times in the
past

Winter departs reluctantly, dis-
regarding Emily's Edict on the sub-
ject of guests lingering on the
threshold. Weather can be so ill-
bred.

We know that it's on its way out,
however, because we've been track-
ing mud in the house lately. We are
our own ground hog in this respect,
we say coyly.

Anyway such fun as we had this
winter, Santa Claus brought us a
nice pair of mittens, so we could
defend ourselves valiantly in snow-
ball fights with urchins on the way
home from school. That was the
extent of our participation in sports
but we had an awful good time.

Our sadistic side was disappointed
this past seas We had with
mournful interes looked forward
to floods of broken ankles and
sprained wrists resulting from the
student body's avowed passion for
winter sports exhibited on the sign-
up sheet on Activities Day last Fall.

We had even hopefully dwelt on
visions of State College in a Sun
Valley setting or maybe Sun Valley
in a State College setting. However,
nothing spectacular happened,
“Winter sports proceeded as usual,”
We quote a NEWS of 1928. Strange-
ly enough those words have become
immortal, simple though they may
seem, They are cherished and used
by the Dep't several times a year
with slight seasonal change:

WAA's sleighride has not yet-
pened.

Daisy, Daisy

In a happier vein, our thoughts
turn to WAA's plan to offer bicycle
riding as a sport this Spring. Doubt-
less for those people who have been
thwarted in thelr ambitions to ride
real horse flesh. We give thanks
for living in the machine age.

Boxing Show In Few Weeks

Following its plan to emphasize
boxing, MAA announces that a box-
ing exhibition will be given some
time in the near future, There are
several men who have shown inter-
est In pugilism and more are always
welcome. Those boys who have nev-
er boxed, but who would like to
learn, may do so by coming to the
gym on the nights that MAA Is in
charge.
