Chatter

y
Pete Marchetto

In spite of the many obstacles
furnished by the man shortage at
college and the inclement weather,
Harry Kensky, entirely through his
own efforts, has fashioned together
a tennis squad to represent the
Alma Mater in intercollegiate com-
petition. When all hope was lost
for another varsity sport in this
year's program, Kensky came
through with what will undoubt-
edly be the last varsity sport at
State for the duration. .

His love for tennis and his inter-
est in keeping State College in the
sports world inspired the captain-
manager-coach to make tentative
arrangements with other colleges
for a schedule, even before a team
had been organized.

We wish to congratulate Harry
Kensky for his indomitable spirit
to keep sports functioning. It is
this kind of spirit that must be
maintained in these times, not only
in sports, but also in every other
activity in the college. This ex-
ample is best set for us by the
“Business as Usual" signs which
adorn the front of bomb-wrecked
stores of war-torn Europe.

We were very much disappointed
to hear that the remants of Intra-
mural Council have decided that the
softball trophy will not be awarded
to the winner of this y soft~
ball league, Council claims that
teams contesting are to few

A four team league may be a
small one, but when there is a
handsome trophy lying around not
being used, we fail to see why it
should not be presented to the
team that emerges champion, The
cup will also create a greater incen-
tive for participation and help to
keep the league organized.

The individual prizes that In
mural Council has planned to give
the members of the winning team
instead of the trophy may replace
the cup as a reward. However, we
still would like to have the “Bus-
iness As Usual” policy mentioned
above to be mentioned in State
College sports as long as possible.

Two weeks ago we mentioned
something about the reorganization
of our gym classes. So far no
action has been taken by anyone in
authority. Soon we hope, the
spring weather will arrive and the
gym classes can be held outdoors.
However, some definite plan must
be arranged before gym classes can
prove of any value outdoors, We
would like to suggest that periods
available for gym classes be listed
in the men's locker room so that all

RICE'S ALLEYS

Western and Quail
15e a Game for School League
From 9:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M.

This afternoon marks the opening
of the 1943 tennis season as the
representatives from State meet
Brooklyn Poly on the Ridgefield
Courts. This should be a_ fair
opener for the Statesmen since
Brooklyn Poly bowed to Columbia
last week 9-0, After this contest
the team will prepare to invade
New York tomorrow where St.
Jolin's will play host.

It would appear as though only
seven men at State are still deter-
mined to keep this college repre-
sented in intercollegiate athletic
circles and uphold the tradition of
winning tennis at State. These
seven men, the only candidates for
the six-man tennis squad, are all
who responded to the call of Harry
Kensky, captain, h, business
manager, and only veteran among
the seven,

His prospective teammates now
include “Dutch” Erbstein, “Riz”
Hansen, and four yearlings, Chil-
lemi, Ferber, Miner, and Rand, but
more will be welcomed

Kensky's interest and efforts have
been rewarded as far as attainment
of a schedule is concerned, but the
unsettled weather of the capital
area has opposed outdoor drilling.
Despite lack of practice, the poten-
tial racquetteers hope to upset these
opponents.

Then if weather permits and
practice becomes possible, they hope
to confront RPI, Cortland, and the
others pending. The several out of
town contests should make this sea-
son a success in one sense of the
word at least.

The tennis schedule which has
been arranged to date is:

April 30 Brooklyn Poly (home)

St. John’s (away)

R. P. I. (home)

R. P. I. (away)

wo matches are also scheduled
tentatively with Cortland.

Softball Trophy
In Not at Stake

Intramural Council decided at a
recent meeting that because there
not enough teams contesting,
the softball title of champion would
not be challenged. In accordance,
the title cup will remain with last
year's winners, the Ramblers, until
State College gets running smoothly
on a post-war schedule.

The Intramural softball trophy
has had a relatively short history,
being in existence for only three
years. SLS won the cup the first
year and the Potter Club team
claimed it the year following. Last
year the Ramblers took over.

Howev softball will still be
played. Dr, Sayles has given his
approval and the field in front of
Paye Hall is available from 5:30
p.m. n every day but Friday. The
only drawback is the weather

» typical Albany wetness h
thus fur retarded actual league pla
although many of the fellows have
already been practicing

Intramural Council had asked for
umpires and to-date, eight have
signed up. There are four teams
altoyether. Gillen and Reed, in
charge, have decided that — two
rounds of six games cach will be
Played, with one game going on
each night

Rivary Game Wednesday

Nhe Freshman-Sophomore wo-
tuew rivalry softball contest will be
played Wednesday afternoon on the
large field, ‘The winning team will
he awarded three rivalry. points

At last the literary merits of the
women’s sports staff have met with
recognition, Joan Hylind of the
sophomore sports staff has been el-
ected Editor of the Freshman Hand-
book. This breaks the hold which
the editorial side of the NEWS has
had on this position for many years.
Joan, however, promises not to let
WAA dominate the Handbook. On
the staff, too, is Marie DeChene,
the other member of the women's
sports staff. Congratulations to Joan!

If it wasn't that there’s so little
point to adding any more water to
the atmosphere of Albany, we might
well shed a tear for WAA and its
spring sports season. Plans are all
made, captains have been chosen,
the girls are eager to participate,
but Mother Nature refuses to co-
operate. There hasn't been any
good weather since spring arrived.
Only one ray of sunshine appears
and that is but a faint gleam. It
can't go on raining forever. Or
can it?

Some fair day in May, the stu-
dents of State will be treated to a
unique sight. The girls in blue
and the girls in red (in other words,
the freshmen and sophomores in
their gym suits) will battle for the
enviable (?) title of “Queens of
Calisthen’ Mis Johnson an-
nounced this plan to the accom-
paniment of groans from the mu
cle-bound members of '45 and ‘46.

Seriously though, we think the
idea is good. As we have said in
a recent column, it is impor
now, as never bef that Ameri
women keep th
strong and
with its emphasis on muscular c
ordination, is one of the best me-
thods of accomplishing this result
If the girls will sypport Miss John-
son in her efforts and will take the
exhibition seriously, the idea can
be developed into something really
worthwhile. In fact, we would go
as far as suggesting that rivalry
points awarded to the winner of
the exhibition.

Women Athletes Start
Spring Sports Series

Golf, one of the new sports olfer-
ed this spring, has begun. Practice
was held last Wednesday at 3:20 p.
m. in the gym. From reports on
the turnout, it seems that this will
be a very popular innovation Miss
Isabelle Johnson, instructor of phy-
sical education, is supervising the
sport. When the weather clears
and the ground dries, practice will
be held on the field in back of
Draper

Pat Latimer, captain of swim-
ming, announces that the final life-
saving exams will be held Tuesday
and Thursday nights of next week,
at the public baths, Wednesday,
there will be a written ¢ at 4:30
pom. Of the twe'ty girls who
have received credit 1 this sport,
Pat expects at least twelve to pass
the tests. Those successful in the
attempt will be qualified as life-
savings mstructors

Oh lost and by ‘the wind aggrieved,

ball, come back again,”
(Apologies to Thomas Wolfe)

The following is by way of a
eulogy and an inquiry. The State
College golf team (born 1942, died
1942) is mourned; a timid plea for
five or more hackers capable of
touring 18 holes in less than 150
strokes is proffered.

Golf! The only varsity sport
where the athlete can puff dreamily
on a cigarette or pipe while giving
his all for the alma mater, The
sport where, after a hard, semi-
cleanly fought contest one may
lax over an ale, or, if the weather
be chill and the funds high—a spot
of ————., where one's fund of
anecdotes may be increased as
State's fair name hinges on a putt

Last ye intrepid quintet play-
ed_ two matches and lost two matches
—both to Siena. The score of the
first was 12-3; the score of the
second, 8-7, when, if a putt which
didn’t, had—but where have we
heard that song before?

Tripping o'er the lea, or, as was
more the case, slogging through the

spring, could be found such links
giants as Dave (I'm getting more
distance on my dubs) Bittman;
Howie Lynch, who for some reason,
probably female, always left early;
Dave Griffin, who for another rea-
son, probably food, also left early;
“Long John” Sussina, who never
bothered to look for his own lost
balls, but who would search in-
finitely for a buddy's, and who, in
an important match, corrected his
opponent's swing; Guess (I stand
too close to the ball after I hit it)
Who (see by-line); and of course
that determined wrecking-crew of
Bartman, Morsillo, and Seifert.

Of this mighty array, only poor,
feeble Guess Wi.o has been by-
passed by the Road to Berlin. “46

By Dor:

What is Myskania? Almost any-
one in college will give you a dif-
ferent answer. “It's the most pop-
ular and brilliant group of students
in school,” “the chosen few, chosen
by a few,” “The leaders of the Col-
lege.” No matter what we may
think of it, Myskania is here to
stay, it seems, Or at least twenty
seven years of existence would
seem to warrant some justification
for its continuation

The Day of Judgement for Mysk-
ania is Moving-Up Day. The hopes
and fears of thi ears are, or
not realized, as the case mi
a few minutes of suspense unrivaled
by anything else in college exper-
ience.

land has scarcely as much pomp

Last May when the present Mys-
kania was tapped, the suspense was
as high as ever. One by one the
out-going Myskania descended from
the stage, arms encased in their
long black robes, circled the aud-
itorium, stopped and a new Mys-
kania member was born, — Then
came the return trip, this time
there were two, up the steps, and
onto the stage to receive the plau-
dits of the assembly en times

ber of the old Myskania had tapped
his successor. But this was not

At a table in the Commons. this

of any of the books was being
turned, and that four pairs of eyes
were staring vacantly into space.

New Myskania;
Election Results
Out Tomorrow

By Jane Heath

Aged by 29 years of tradition and
lavish with ceremony, Moving-Up
Day tomorrow will summarize an-
other year of college activities. An
ull-college pageant, the tapping of
the New Myskania, the announce-
ment of Student Association and
organization leaders for the coming
year, and a final showing of inter-
class rivalry form, in the main, the
day's program.

The four classes will assemble at
8:30 A.M. in Draper and Huested
Halls and in the connecting peri-
style. At 9 A, M. the cap-and-
gowned Seniors will lead the color-
ful procession to Page Hall audi-
torium where the ceremonies are
scheduled for 9:20 A. M.

Members of each underclass will
appear in uniform dress in their
respective class colors.

Class Speakers Open

Student Association President
Don Vanas will conduct the Page
meeting, first order of business
being the class speeches. Terrence
Smyth, '46, will speak for the fresh-
man class, The Sophomore Class
Speaker will be Marge Curran,
‘rece Aney, will represent the
Junior Class; and Cliff Swanson, the
Senior Class.

Some of the suspense of the day
will be lessened by the announce-
ment of awards and election results,
which follows the class speeches.
The incoming officers of Pi Gamma
Mu, Pi Omega Pi, Commerce Club,
Forum, Spanish’ Club, Newman
Club, and Hillel will be given recog-
nition, The awards include the
scholarship cup by Interfraternity
Council, and Press Bureau and
Potter Club hono

The Seniors’ farewell song, led by
Jean McAllister, '43, will precede
the Moving-Up ceremony. Hal
Singer, ‘43, Grand Marshal, will
conduct the classes to new seats in
the auditorium. This procedure is
the epitome of Moving-Up Day's
symbolism.

Myskania Taps Next

The tapping of next year's Mys-
kania will follow, Tomorrow's tap
ping will mark the beginning of the
twenty-eighth year of Myskania’s
existence,

The final announcements — will
conclude the morning order of busi-
ness. The News Board, and the
Primer and Pedagogue staffs will
be named, Also Debate Council
and Music Council offi and
members, Residence Council mem-
bers, and officers of Dramatic and
Art Association, Student Christian
Association, and WAA and MAA

"We, '43, Salute You—’

Hail, class of 1944!

After tomorrow, State College is yours, to
make of it what you will, ‘This is a priceless
legacy. Make of it more than we (7

We, the leaders of yesterday, have failed.
We have failed to lead you out of the confusion
of the waraninded world. We have not made
you conscious of your duty in this war, We
have not awakened in you a deeper interest in
things democratic, We have lett you with a
racial prejudice whieh is perhaps stronger than
that which is claimed to be inherent, We have
increased your desire for materialistic things at
the expense of these spiritualistic. We have
not defied tradition, but neither have we en
riched it. We have failed in our ellort to show
you the proper cyaluation of tungs. And
most of all we have not prepared you for to-
morrow.

But, why have we failed? Tt iy because only
at this point have we begun to realize the impor:
tance of unity and loyalty, It is because until
how many of us have remained as confused as
conditions will allow. [tis because we are now
beginning to realize what it means to be the
teacher ol tomorrow.

Though we are still harassed by the depress:
ing emotions caused by a war, which can never
be entirely extinguished until that war iy over,
we can see more clearly that if something is
to be done, we are to do it. Tf something: is
to be planned, we are the ones who shall plan
it. We no longer inistake the frivolous tor the
worthy, We no longer undertake a task without
being fully aware of a successful conclusion.

And this we believe entirely, that though we
qian point to nothing and say with a look of
pride, “This is what we have done tor State
College", th the world of tomorrow we will live
fully conscious of what we have learned from
our Ama Mater, and wherever we may go “in
the wide, wide world” we will always say, "1

Our First Anniversary

This is our first Noniversary, the first Annie

Can it be that we have forgotten Corregidor

placed in the background ol history. Have we

But we, State Coll students, can do even
more than this, We can renew our cllorts.

will prove that we have not forgotten our fist

cluded the death of Lieut, General
Frank Andrews and his twelve
companions in Iceland, the Japa-
nese bombing of Australia, the
concentrated English bombing of
Germany's industrial centers, and
the continued success of Russian
troops along the Eastern Front, ac-
companied by the capture of addi-
tional Russian towns, On the
African Front, Allied columns
closed in on the enemy, captured
Mateur, and proceeded’ on,
nouncing Bizerte as the “next stop”.

ier Mussolini stood on his
Venice balcony on Wednesday, in
celebration of the Italian victory
over Ethiopia, and exhorted the
Italian people ‘to greater war effort,
by declaring both positively and
optimistically that Italians would
again see the day that the flag of
Italy would again fly over her
African Empire,

Of most significance to this writer
was Premier Joseph Stalin's state-
ments concerning post-war Poland.
Taciturn Stalin, emitting one of his
few commitments of this war, pro-
voked pessimism, and also caused
scattered optimism throughout. the
world, Ralph Parker, New York
Times correspondent in Russia,
wrote Stalin a letter containing
questions timely, poignant, explo-
sive. Stalin’s answer was clever,
evasive, but not unsatisfactory; cer-

by Ryan

tainly it was an answer sufficient
to the questions asked. Parker had
written Stalin as follows: 1. “Does
the Government of the U.SS.R. de-
sire to see a strong and independent
Poland after the defeat of Hitler's
Germany?” 2. “On what funda-
ments is it your opinion that the
relation between Poland and the
USS.R. should be based after the
War?” Stalin's answer to both
questions was that the relations be-
tween Russia and Poland should be
based on “mutual respect” and,
“should the Polish people so desire,
upon the fundament of an alliance
providing for mutual assistance
against the Germans as the chief
enemies of the Soviet Union and
Poland.”

This writer was not favorably
impressed by the tone of Stalin's
statement. These questions oc-
curred: Does Stalin expect the inde-
p ndent Poland to consist of that
part which Russia appropriated in
1939? Or is his conception of
Poland “strong and independent”,
merely a buffer state against a pos-
sible regeneration of a degraded
Germany? And what may we think
about boundaries, since these were
not mentioned, and are the crux of
the matter? And what kind of
Germany can Stalin be thinking of,
since he recognizes the need of a
state allied against Germany? None
of this sounds optimistic when one
considers the post-war world.

Primer Passes First Test

By Jane Heath

With the fervency of Pygmalion
of old Cypress, the student body
prayed, Kathleen Martin and her
staff played a composite Aphrodite,
And presto! . the ivory statue,
which had faced demolition in last
May's budget hearing, came to life.

Wednesday's Primer was all that
The college's ivory statue glued its
cracks, yawned, stretched, and took
a deep breadth. So encouraging
was the first breath that it kept
right on and soon the process be-
came quite natur No more
shrouded sophistication of — the
Statesman, fewer attempted subtle-
ties, more vigor and healthy imagi-
nation—all these made the Primer
what it was intended to be, a repre-
sentation of State College writing.

The Statesman had tried very
hard to absorb the flavor of the
New Yorker, Even had it succeeded
Even had it succeeded in every
issue, the Statesman couldn't have
enjoyed all-college approval. Una-
ware of reader psychology, the
Statesman didn’t realize that State
students aren't New Yorkers. Did
we really ever feel “at home” read-
ing the Statesman?

Its successors made poetic trips
to math class, rode horseback with

blasphemy and without experience,
ate at the dorm dinner table; it
acquired as much sophistication’ as
its readers, thought deeply,
laughed as loudly. After a year
of orientation and observation, the
Primer is as much a part of Si

College as the Class of '46 and can
Move-up with as much pride.

In support of the Primer’s versa-
tility, we can point to Muriel Sco-
vell’'s verses, Mary Studebaker's
observations of the Seat 36 occu-
pant, and Leo Warner's music
appreciation (we believe Mr, War-
ner is not really Mr. Warner at all,
but a Junior with a more familiar
name).

In the main the prose offered was
less mysterious, contained more
vivid characterization and better
plots than Statesman stories.
“Michael” made us laugh and love
in a way we had almost forgotten.
Reminiscent of last year's trend was
“And Night Comes On.”

Oh, we celebrated the rebirth of
the college magazine, but we did
mourn the passing of “Honi Soit”.
The nearest we came to this phase
of thinking of last year's publication
were Catherine Smythe's ladylike
threats in poetry and Janet Baxter's
verse experiences.

Addenda

Dear Editor:

Now, it seems, comes the time of
year when sentiment and nostalgia
reign. We watch thrilled and agog
while a new Myskania is tapped
with due solemnity. We enter into
the final fire of rivalry; we wateli
black-robbed Seniors moving out
into the night with unrestrained
tears leaking through, ‘This year
our tears will be also for those who
moved up and out before their time
was up,

Now I suppose it’ would be my
place to say “fovey” to all this emo-
tion, to say that the “Great Tradi-
tion” has far outlived its use and
usefulness.

But I'm not a radical, I'm not
the kind of a person who likes to
throw a bombshell into something
that is doing all right for itself,
something that is, no matter what
else can he said, quite complete and
beautiful.

Tam just another one of those
people who get excited along with
the mob I laugh and [ ery at the
ame times, in the same places.
Maybe Myskania is just a symbol
of something that used to mean far
more than it does today. Maybe
the speeches, the awards, the an-
nouncements, the rivalry, are too
ancient to be constructive.

Say, too, that the Constitution of
the United States has outlived its
usefululness. Say that the national
anthem is out-dated.

As for me, I'll take tradition,
tears and all. I like it.

One Among Many.

THEY, ABOVE ALL

There is none so blind as they that won't see... .

Jonathan Swift

Moving-Up Day and its stock of tradition are prac-
tically here . . . To many the highlight of the day is
the tapping of the new Myskania in recognition’ for
ability and leadership on campus . . . Each year
most of the candidates are obvious » Each year
there are those tapped who do not deserve the honor
: Tn a school as democratic as State claims to be,
it sometimes seems strange that it should allow itself
to be controlled by a small, autocratic, self-perpetuat-
ing, and unrepresentative group whicl: Myskania
usually represents This situation is tolerable
under discreet operation, but there are no depths
sunken too low for the name of any organization
whose policies are dictated by machine politics at the
expense of justice . . . Tradition is fine if it docs
not get in a rut... It is to be hoped that this year's
Myskania will remember that it should be handing
down “togas, not pinafores” . admittedly this is
an indictment, and one which is unqualified
However, a fairly unbiased opinion would require
that Student Council, as an elected representation
of the student body, is demo: ally more qualified
to administer the government of the college than any
other single organization.

in assembly whom they considered
particularly qualified for such posi-
tions. Additional names could be
added to the list of proposed eandi-

the Myskania mailbox.

Cooper, Hines Elected

Since there were no additional
nominations for Sophomore repre-
sentative, Sunna Cooper and Ruth

elected to the 1943-44 Activi-
ties Council. This leaves balloting
this morning for two out of three
freshmen: Marie Leibl, Nancy Ran-
derson and Eleanor O'Brian.

students who cling as trans-
lators to return their pamphelts to
Dr. Stokes’ office with the work
that they have thus far completed.

Cooper House

Will Be Closed
For Next Year

When this year’s Senior Class
leaves State’s campus, with it will
go James Fenimore Cooper House,
the cooperative house which was
new when the class of 1943 were
freshmen. According to a state-
ment made by Dean Stokes, the
cost of upkeep has become too
great to make the maintenance of
the house practical.

The building was erected by
Thurlow Weed, Republican political
boss of New York state in the time
of William Seward, for the use of
his family, The room which is now
used as a house mother’s room was
occupied by Mr. Weed’s study. Later
the house was purchased by James
Fenimore Cooper III, grandson of
the author, who resided there until
his death, At one time the college
tried to purchase the property for
offices, but it was not until 1939 that
Miss Mildred Shorday leased the
property to house the cooperative
group which had formerly been
known as Junipers Junior. For two
years the apartment over the barn
was known as Cooper House Annex
and served as a home for six girls.
When Junipers, the oldest coopera~
tive on campus, was forced to close
last June, eight of the girls moved
to Cooper,

The house contains thirty rooms
and this year housed thirty-three
girls, two houseboys, and a house
mother, Mrs. Mary MacDonald, The
work is done by the g
voluntary system with
Hughes, '44; Patricia Christophe
‘45, and Martha Shaver, ‘46, serving
as'work captains. Two of the six
Seniors in the house, Mary Mai
Manus and Jane Greenmun White,
have lived there since the house was
established. Mrs. White is house
president, and the other officers for
tho past year include i
Hughes, _ vice-president;

France, ‘45, secretary, and
Skinner, ‘45, treasurer.

Composer-Artist Percy Grainger
To Be Moving-Up Day Star

by Marion Buetow

As every year rolls around, so
another Moving-Up Day goes’ by.
Tomorrow Music Council will pre-
sent a valid argument for the re-
membrance of Moving-Up Day,
1943. At 4 P, M., in Page Hall, State
College students and their guests
will have the distinct pleasure of
listening to the music of a man who
speaks, writes, and acts as he
pleases—the foremost American pi-
anist, Perey Grainger.

The secret of Grainger's success
lies in his utter disregard for con-
vention, If he is so inclined, he will
walk cross-country from one con-
cert engagement to another, rather
than take a train. On many ocea-
sions he has unobstrusively walked
into the side door of a spacious
auditorium, a small, quiet man with
a knapsack on his back, He

food and soft beds. For being an
outdoor man with a lust for life
and an appreciation of his art, he
has been classed as an eccentric:
but his dislike for easy living and
his love for the open air have added

ing and ambitious lilt

y Grainger has been an out-
standing pianist, composer, and con-
ductor for over fiftv years, and still

s completely unselfconscious

Says Glenn Dillard Gunn of the
“Country Gardens” man, “He comes
to make music and is eager to be
about his assignment.”

Grainger will be supported by
the State College Women’s Chorus
in his piano recital tomorrow. High

Sports

Chatter

By
Pete Marchetta

Tomorrow —Moving—Up ‘Day!
This day marks the first of a series
of ceremonies which indicates that
the Class of 1943 is nearing the end
of its stay in the Alma Mater.
Along with the rest of the robed
seniors will be ye ole Sports Editor.

While the rest of you undergrad-
uates are moving up, we are moving
out; moving out to take our places
on the battlefields of the world and
in schoolhouses. In this, the last
issue to be edited by the present
NEWS board, we will try to make
our last feeble attempt at “Sports
Chatter.”

Among the many persons and
things that will be absent at State
next year is intercollegiate com-
petition. Such a situation is not
only not inexcusable but manda-
tory under present conditions.

Sports of State College have s
their introduction been on an up-
jtade, Athletic competition prob-
suiy got its start with interclass

“49 and soon developed to var-
.y vasketball, Intercollegiate foot-
vall tor a brief period, cross country,
baseball and tennis were introduced
in that order to State.

Sports finally hed their peak
in 1935 with the introduction of
the Men's Athletic Association.
This placed administrative power
of sports in almost complete control
of a Student Council. Two years
later this council was further aug-
mented by a sub-division to regu-
late intramural! sports. This system
persisted until the present war dis-
rupted proceedings.

State College prides itself in being
one of the few colleges in which
the entire sport program is sub-
sidized with student funds. It is
unlike those colleges where the
school supports athleties and v
versa,

Now that sports are definitely out
for the duration we would like to
offer a few suggestions of what to
ao during this interim

1. Keep an athletic program
functioning. This may be organ-
ized as the men next year best see
fit. They may keep the present
system as used by Intramural Coun-
cil or appoint an athletic committee
to arrange and plan sports pnts.
Have a sports program if at ill pos-
sible.

2. Keep the sports organized.
It's spirit of competition that makes
sports so interesting and enjoyable.
Have team competition whenever
possible. If not, then use tourna-
ments or other forms of individual
competition in carrying out what-
ever sport program is established.
It's by organization that competition
is best achieved

3. Attempt women’s intercollegi-
ate sports. Women’s varsity sports
have existed in colleges for some
3 's. We would like to see State
women take the initiative to make
arrangements with other colleges
for contests in. various sports. If
nearby women's colleges do not
cooperate ut first we hope that the
State women will be persistent and
make attempts to convince them

4. Make a list of the sport ree-
ords of State. At present there are
no records of any kind to be found
in any of the files of MAA or Intra-
mural Council, The files of the
NEWS could be used to obtain the
data and organize a record book

5. Do post-war planning
This period of sport inactivity
can well serve is a preparation for
a post-war athletic program. The
possibilities of a six man football
league could be seriously consider
ed. Letters can be sent to other
small colleges normal schools
who find themselves in the same
predicament as State in regards to
football. ‘Their opinions can he re-
ceived and ideas exchanged.

Basketball, baseball and tennis
will be returning after the war and
it’ will take proper planning to
reinstate them in a sport program,
Improper planning may cause delay
which may postpone these sports
unnecessarily for a season or (wo.

Dorm, Finks Score Victories

As Softball Season Opens

Thirteen-Run Outburst
Decides First Game;
Finks Pummel Gerber

The softball season opened auspi-
ciously Tuesday, as the Dorm wal-
loped Potter 16-8. The following
day Rho Beta Sigma succumbed to
the Finks, 10-6,

The Dorm greeted Potter with a
thirteen-run outburst in the first
inning, and with Smyth on the
mound, coasted to an easy victory.
Seventeen men faced Welch, the
Potter pitcher, as the entire Potter
machine fell apart in this first in-
ning. After that, however, it was
a good ball game, as Welch settled
down and pitched'a creditable game,
Potter tried desperately to get back
in the ball game, but Smyth, after
a couple of rocky innings, never
allowed them to threaten.

Get Thirteen Hits

The Dorm collected thirteen hits,
only two of them, however, for
extra bas Potter garnered twelve
off Smyth, six of them being for
extra bases, but runs still determine
the winner.

Bert Kiley got the first home run
of the season in the second inning,
with one on. Hammond led the
Potter attack with a double and two
singles. The Dorm attack was well
spread out, with Chillemi, Reichard,
Wood;, Smyth, Miner, and Laurie

‘h garnering two hits.

The Finks jumped to a five-run

two innings, and

‘Tucker pitched

all of the way, having the game well

under control at all times. Gerber

pitched a good game for the Rho

Beta Sig team, but sewed up too
three extra base blows.
Collect Fourteen Blows

The Finks rapped out fourteen
hits off Gerber, with eight of them
heing for extra bases. Tucker scat-
tered ten hits and allowed only
three base blows.

Olivet led the Fink a
a double and two singles.
Beyerl also had a_ triple
double. Gerber and Abrams hi
two hits apiece for the conglomer
tion outfit.

The Dorm field was the scene of
these first two games, but it is
expected that the Page Hall field
will be used for the remaining
yames scheduled. All games this

scheduled to start at 6:30,
e is a possibility that a few
may be played at 4:30 P.M.

State Racketeers
Lose First Game

St. John’s Too Powerful;
Cancel Broaklyn Poly Match

State tennis squad was swamped
by a powerful St. Johns’ sextet to
the tune of 9-0 in their match last
Saturday in New York. As the
score indicates, St. John’s had a
vastly superior team, with two of
the players ranking on the first ten
nationally. Though badly defeated,
the State racketeers put up a stiff
battle,

To-date, the St. Johns’ team has
beaten Columbia. They will play
Princeton (one of the top teams of
the country), NYU, and No. Car-
olina, among others.

Not only were the men tops, but
also the coach, One year he ‘rea-

semi-finals of the national
single championship, finally being
eliminated by the great Donald
Budge.
Ninety-Mile Gal

As if this were not enough, a
ninety-mile le was blowing.
Quoting Kensky, “Other than the
above, everything else was equal.”

Bob Ferber, frosh, came closest
to winning. He had his man “mat-
ched point”, but lost in a gruelling
three set match,

Their number two man, James
McGuir is the  intercollegeate
champ and casily defeated Jim
Miner 6-0, 6-1.

Captain’ Kensky had an carly lead,
but also Jost. His man, Bunny
Smith, is undefeated in intercol-
legeate competition

The squad was hit with a tough
break when Frank Hansen tore a
ligament in his right leg and will
be out for the remainder of the
sea‘on, This leaves only six men
on a six man team!

Play Next Week

A heavy schedule is tenative for
next weekend. — Friday afternoon
State will play RPI and Saturday,
Cortland, Both games are away
and practice will be held at Ridge-
field during next week.

Brooklyn Poly, scheduled for last
Friday afternoon, was rained out.
Instead of the game, they toured
the school.

Interesting to note is what they
said about their visit ‘he school
us a whole is really tops,” said one
of them. They enjoyed the tour
and marvelled at the campus,

It Could
Be

Wurz

Jn time of spring a young
man’s fancy may turn to thoughts
of love, but judging by some of the
farewell columns in past years, a
sports writer's thoughts turn to
poetry. Just what brings on this
noble impulse, I'm not quite sure,
Perhaps it’s a desire to prove to the
world that there are hidden depths
even in the heart of a sports writer
—a desire for beauty crushed by
the demands of a stylized form of
writing,

Yet why should this be true of
writing about sports? It is not
the material . Most sports are
interesting and alive, They are
played in surroundings that are
often beautiful in colorful costumes,
People are shown at their best or
their worst when they participate
in sports, It is the fault of the type

ling that has become the
standard for
With Malic

Few part any, of a newspaper
are written with any concern for
literary merit. This is as it should
he. Production of the great Ameri-
can novel is not the purpose of a
paper, But this any excuse for
the triteness and poor writing that
has long been a characteristic of
the sports page’?

I may be treading on sensitive
toes, but I'm also treading on my
own, It is my hope that those who
have preceded me will not think
that I'm condemning them, Such

not my intention. Probably they
i 't the same feeling of satisfaction
that I'm feeling. It's only at the
end of the year that I can see what
I'd like to have done,

‘Toward the Future

Next year I'd like to see a new
philosophy adopted by the sports
department. Let them forget the
easy cliches, the ready tricks of
phrasing. Let them ignore the list
of meaningless expressions that ruin
uny chance for good writing,

It is easy to fall into the habit
of writing the same story each
week, merely changing the names,
But each game is different, no two
people play in exactly the same
way. The sports writer should at-
tempt to combine enthusiasm with
knowledge and critical judgment,

Anything we do possesses only
the merit that we give it. As long
as sports writers continue to believe
that theirs is a type of writing to
be done in a sterotyped manner,
they will produce poor writing, I
hope that next year we will see an
attempt at a new type of sports
writing for State College—a type
worth writing and reading,

SC A Office Cools Off
After 200 Degree Heat

Last Saturday the SCA-~Newman-
Hillel office was destroyed by hot
steamer from a broken valve under
the Commons.

The valve broke about 4:30 A. M.
Saturday morning, but was not dis-
covered by the janitors till 9 A.M.
the same morning, Since the win-
dow was closed, the steam had very
little outlet and the office had
reached a temperature of 200 de-
grees at the time of the discovery.
A great part of the SCA library was
either watersoaked or burned by
the steam, The walls were blistered
and the paint burned from the desk
tops. Fortunatelv the SCA ballots
were in the steel file cabinet, which
was left intact.

It will be ne ry to refurnish
and redecorate the entire office, but
it is doubtful if this will be done
till next year.
