To loser Adlai Stevenson we toss our warmest kudos. Adlai's unpolitician-like intellect and commc;md of the language attracted our collegiatEjl tastes. Ike's glorious fairy-tale career caught our Americanized emotions. Both are a tribute to the American people. To many of us all the new faces in Washington will seem strange. The majority of us scholars have lived our complete short lives under Democratic administration. The new Republicans will be a change at least, welcomed or not. And with our literary leanings we have a deep interest in what . the out-going president, Mr. Truman, is going to do. Harry says he wants to go back to Mif;souri and build a library. We wonder if CRUSADE IN EUROPE will be among the volumes. ROOSTERFISH REPORTING It is either one of the two, poor journalism or a poor sense of humor, but whatever it is the boys at Lafayette have it.. In writing up the Lafayette-Wilkes soccer match, which the · Leopards won 2-1, "The Lafayette" said, "Wilkes ..wllied mo' mentarily at the beginning of the third period on a goal by center forward Jim Roosterfish." There is no Roosterfish in Wilkes or even in Wilkes-Barre. The poor journalism part comes in because good newspapers get the correct names, or if no name is available do not resort to their imaginations. Good newspapers also know that legal difficulties can come about because of such foolishness. The poor sense of humor part comes in the unusual, clownish namest went out with Falstaff and haven't drawn a respectable laugh since. We had thought that the rah-rah boys of Easton would have been aware of that. But we'll take it with a half a smile. There's no need in causing any embarrassment by comparing newspapers or senses of humor. Maybe, though, we had better inform Editor Robert J. Muth of "The Lafayette" that the goal-scoring• Roosterfish and the editor of this collegiate weekly are one and the same parties. That should give the whole affair a little added kick. Roosterfish ... geeze ... . The Beacon's Best JUST FOR LAUGHS Three salesmen were standing on a street corner in North Africa. One was an Englishman, one an Arabian, and , one an American.

The other day we got a letter from the genial representative. · 1 1 Camp.us capers call for Coke No matter if this year's team is the De~ E<Utor: I'm talcing your advice, at least, as far as the BEACON is concerned! A very professional editorial, and you are quite right. The important thing is that there was such a meeting at Wilkes, anq I want to come back-often. Very truly yours, Daniel J. Flood, M.C. We like to hear from BEACON-readers, especially those in Congress. BEERS, editor underdog, spirits soar at the homecoming rally. There are bonfires, pep talks, cheersand for refreshmetl t, delicious Coca-Cola.

At the · beginning of the curre'nt grid campaign, we stated, as did Coach George Ralston, that if Wilkes could avoid the injury jinx which plagued.. it 'last year, the Colonels would be in for· a ·good season .. At that 'time, last year's injury list looked pretty ,b ad, but nevei: did we expect anything like the number of injuries to the squad this season. Eahc game, starting with {he Blqom tilt, has sent another man out of action for a time. There were injuries even before the first game, but they were not too serious. In the Husky encounter, Dan Pinkowski suffered a broken toe which sidelined him for three games. At Bridgeport, a number of the boys came up with bruised legs, hips, etc., but the next really serious blow came in the Ithaca romp, when Eddie Davis and Joe KropiewniC'ki fell victims to separated shoulders. The hard-luck Hofstra game is a well known tale of woe. Russ Picton was put out for the· season with a combination of a fractured leg and a dislocated leg. Only about a week ago did Russ lea ve Nesbitt Hospital. \ JOE KROPIEWNICKI EVEN OLD DEPENDABL HIT Billy Morgan, who "Doc" Harold Jenkins claims has suffered every possible injury, seems to pick up another every Saturday. Pleasant. it is to remember last year, when Ralston used to point to Billy ancf. proudly boast, "There is a fellow who never gets hurt." He must have· jinxed the guy. George Elias is being held together by a combination . of adhesive tape and will power. Gigi is currently on the mend from a bad shoulder, ankle, and elbow. Ray Tait has been more successful! in keeping his nose out of the way this year, but still has had more· than his share of scrapes. Lou Solomon has been riding the bench· lately with a ,bad leg too ... Ah, but this can go on and on. At a time when a third-strin•g er 'would have had a chance to make good, what with Picton and Davis out, Dave. "Gazelle" Hughes was knocked out of aciion for the rest of the year in a scrimmage with ·wyoming , Seminary, leaving the Colonelli! ' witlfout a passer. Last game it was Gaylord Fitzgerald. Fitzy chipped a couple of teeth and hurt his · ankle whil~ center and defensive half Glenn Carey was being kicked in the ankle too. Only recently has Frank Radaszewski returned to the lineup.'

HIP! GIRLS" RETURN THE TRlBUNAL TO THE LETTERMEN A few weeks ago, we, of Wilkes College saw the comple.tion of another traditional Freshman initiation period. Looking objectively at the period we see that it had two outstanding characteristics, to wit: , lackadaisical hazing and an inffectual Tribunal. These two factors reduced this traditional period to a high school level. if even that. Elaborating on these two factors, we saw a tribunal' whlch had no order or decorum of any sort. Gone was judicial atmosphere of the tribunal. In regard to the hazing, we see that it · was weak, periodic, and extremely ineffective. To see Fresh- · men openly flouting the rules was the order of the day. This is the second year in which this condition has existed. The cause of this situation is not because classes are inherently ineffectual or weak. but rather because they are too large and hence too awkward to be a coordinated unit which the task demands. All too often the duties to be performed fall to a clique or two within the class. The solution then is obvious-turn the job over to a smaller, better coordinated unit. Such a unit is the Lettermen's Chili. The old-timers here at Wilkes will remember when this club had the Tribunal duties and will also remember how capably they were .performed. However, a new experiment was tried in which these duties were taken from the Lettermn and given to each new Sophomore class. After two years' trial, it is most obvious that the experiment has failed. We of the BEACON believe that the student body desires to see the return of the college-level type of competition which existed in the past; a type which will embody clean, spirited hazing and equally spirited resistance. The Lettermen can correct the problem. We therefore request the Student Council to consider this matter at its earliest convenience.

Ray goes 215 pounds and stands 5-11. The ex-Coughlin veteran is 20 years old and a junior majoring in education and history. In the cold of the winter Ray also does a little heavyweigl;it wrestling, though the big man prefers to keep football as his main sport and the grappling art only as a sideline. Ray has been outstanding at .tackle this year. Always a good man, one. that is hard to move, Ray has now blossomed into a rip-roaring tackler and blocker. He's a real solid candidate for lineman of the year, a genuine follower . of the old school of ·colonei tackles that include such boys as Washko, Bogusko and Hendershot. Tait, along with Mouse McMahon, has handled most of the Colonels' punting, thus the name "The Toe". One of the nicest things about the big boy is that he is also a scholar. Footbgll tackles, especially big ones and good ones, have long been associated witli the' ox-they may not be any dumber but then and again they're not any smarter.

UIVOT§ By JACK CURTIS BIG THINGS AT STAKE TOMORROW Probably more so than ever before, the ·King's game tomorrow night at Kingston Stadiu'm is THE BIG ONE. A quick look at the records of both Wilkes and its neighboring rival reveals that the winner of the seventh annual gridiron encounter will have a winning sea.son. To date GEORIGE RALSTON'S Wilkes Colonels has won three, lost three and tied one, for a .500 percentage. Coach JIM MORAN'S Monarchs likewise are batting (kicking would be more apropos') on an ·e ven keel, too, with a three and three slate. * :;: * * * So when the final gun go~s _off tomorrow night, th e winner of the tilt will not only have captured the mythical Wilkes-Barre Collegiate Grid Crown and the trophies that go with it, but will also have provided the margin for a winning season. Wilkes-King's games have always been good, but this year, with so much at stake for both sides, the classk should be better than ever before and should pack 'em in to Mr. Kingston's ballyard. LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT Maybe we're going off the deep end, but there is something that's been bothering us for sometime, and we thi :,k that it should be aired at this writing, particularly since this is probably the last WilkesKing's game for some time to come. We've heard, not a few times, 'from too many people, that the great rivalry that has grown between the two city institutions, a rivalry which at times has become a<·' grim one, stems from the religious difference in · the , backing of the two schools. Although many regard religion as too touchy a subject to discuss, we feel that as college students, you, who read this column are open minded enough to take an objective viewpoint on the subject. * * * * * NO BASIS FOR THE ARGUMENT Now,~~ we all· know, King's College is a Roman Catholic institution, and Wilkes is non-denominational. What gripes u s is-tha,t a few narrow minded individuals tab the Wilkes-King's •g ame as a clash between Catholics and Protestants. The real fact is is that there are as many of one as the other on the Wilkes team and members of both faiths on the King's t eam, too. Then, we ask you, with both teams having both religions represented in their ranks, where does the religious issue come in? The answer is simple-It doesn't. ,;: * * * * a To those of you who never gave a second thought to sµch triviality, we apologize. Just a few more well-chosen words and we'll drop the subject. If anybody wants .p roof of real brotherhood, he should take notice of all Colonel teams and rganizations. He 'd find that all races, creeds, and nationalities are working together with but one aim-to win for Wil,k es, KING'S IS BEST YET From King's College's fine performance against Scranton University at Meyers Stadium last Saturday night, it looks like the Blue and Gold is going to have a real tussle on its hands tomorrow p. m. In losing to the powerful Scranton team· by only five points, the Monarchs' star passer Bob Olshan, former Meyers High ace, tossed for three TD's, two to high-scoring Harry Miller and the other to Cot ghlin~ Joe Deg nan. The entire King's team looked real good, but O:shan ~and Miller will ha ve to be stopped. if the game is even to be close. We'r~ not saying, by any manner of means, that Wilkes can't win, but we are saying that they'll have to give another Hofstra performance if they are to make it six out of seven over the Northampton Street boys. :.;: * * * * The Colonels have played up and down this year. 0- 1 Jnning last week over Moravian, you could say the Raiders had an 1>ff ·week. So, here's hoping they will be on this week. Much is to be said of the fine spirit that has been shown by all the squad this season, even when the odds were stacked hopelessly against them. They never gave up and always, turned in creditable performance. What's more, we've never seen a cleaner brand of football. · DON 'T SELL US SHORT Even before Joe Harris and the odds boy s have had a chance to give us their vi ews as to the outcome of the tussle (thi s was written on Monday), we . can be safe in saying that King's will be heavy favorites to win. Still, we are inclined to think of the Meyers-GAR rivalry and others just as inten se, in whkh anything can and does happen, no matter how good either t eam is. In a game between two arch-rivals, there is no such thing as a sure bet. That's why we're not selling the Colon els down the Susquehanna. Tomorrow's is the game we've been waiting twelve long months for, ever since that initial setback. Excitement is by now at fever pitch, what with students and alumni rallying behind their respective favorites. We hope Kingston .Stadium is packed to capacity for the first time this year. It'll be a welcome relief after those dismal crowds of the pas_t three weeks.

NO SAD SONG FOR THE COLONELS Last Saturday night Wilkes was forced to end~e a 34-13 beating by King's. It wasn't the most pleasant thing one could .watch. But George Ralston's Colonels made a good account for t}:iemselves. They weren't supposed to win, and 'they didn't. But the team did put up a wonderful battle.

GO-MINUTE MEN 1)11\~ UIVOT§ By JACK CURTIS WHAT CAN YA SAY? To say that "we wuz robbed", would be an unfair statement in view of ·the results of the seventh Wilkes-King's Classic, but after seeing such a thrill-packed ball game, emotions and words are apt to run in all different' directions. In the score, King's won soundly. , But all who saw the game can attest that • it was a far closer ball game than the score indicates. That first half was a beauty. The Wilkes line pushed the Monarchs all over the turf and opened gaping holes in the line through which poured Wilkes backfieldmen Veroski, Davis, Elias and Kropiewnicki. It was a great night in that first half. We just wonder what Jould have happened had there not been an intermission at halftime. GEORGE ELIAS JERRY ELIAS AND PLAY-BYPLAY ON WILKES-KING'S-MILLER -GAME It's an old story qy now. Harry Miller ran wild for four touchdowns in the second half to add to his previous one in the secqnd quarter and amass the great total of five. The Colonels just couldn't catch the Monarch speedster. As it looks at this writing, his quintet of paydirt dashes of last Saturday night have made him Pennsylvania's leading scorer for the 1952 grid season. The way we feel about it, it may as well be someone from this city. Miller is also a possible selectiQn for the All-State team. After that sterling performance, our best. wishes and those of all Wilkes students, we're sure, g·o to him, NEVER LOOKED BETTER General Ralston's Colonels never looked· better offensively than they did in the first half. Eddie Davis played what many say was his best game in a Wilkes uniform. His selection of plays sparkled. His running was tremendous and his passing stupendous. Bily Veroski also looked like a million smackers. The big Monarch line couldn't stop him or for that matter Joe Kropiewnicki or George Elias either. Things were really clicking. And Wilkes kept valuable possession of the ball -a very important factor. A few bad breaks, the kind that the Colonels always seem to get a !of. of, made the difference and gave the score an upward push in favor of Jim Moran's team. Last Saturday night the annual King's-Wilkes classic took place in Kingston Stadium before a good-sized ci:owd of peopl_e. Bot~ teams were sporting 3 wins and 3 losses with Wilkes also havmg a tie game. Even before the g11me got underway th_e ge1;eral a:,mospher~ was ' one of grim determination. After the openmg kickoff 1t was evident that this game was going to be the game to be remembered. Divis• •t ook .tJhe kfok on 1:m.e · 10 · on t he 18.

By JACK CURTIS Kopicki who played with Plymouth and Jim Ferris who sparked Kingston last season. Throughout the Thanksgiving vacation, while many a Wilkes student stuffed himself with Turkey, the basketball team held three hard practices which was highlighted by a scrimmage with the Swoyersville Sailors on Friday. Coach Ralston stated several times that the competition for the first ten positions would be mighty ·keen. As a matter of fact the last five ·p layers were not picked until after practice Tuesday night. Saturday the team travels to Williamsport to meet the classy Lycoming five. Ed. Note : The results of the Ithaca game were too late for press time, but the Ithacans won, 77-73. High scorer for Wilkes was •Marsh Karesky with 21 points. The Colo-. nels looked exceptionally well in their first encounter, forcing Ithaca all the way. The home team won with a rally in the final quarter. Economics Club To Sho·w Movie The Economics Club of Wilkes College is presenting a full-length movie, "The Mir acle on 34th St.", starring Edmund Gwenn on Thursday, De~ember 11, at 7 :30 p. m.,. in the lecture hall. This feature is a very human and touching story which is highly appropriate to the Christmas season. Tickets can be obtained from any member of the Economics Club. JIMMY ATHERTON Big Jimbo Jimmy Atherton from the North End looks to be oiie of Coach Ralston's best bets for a successfu l basketball season. The little setshot artist from ·North yVilkes-Barre is a solid playmaker and · an exceptional floorman, besides being the club's best shot. Jimmy leads the club in experie;nce too, having been around for years, though only· 20 years old, in basketball circles. Jimmy was once a · scrimmage man for the Wilkes-Bat re Barons and he's an old-time Rogers Tourney man. His knowhow should go well with the fairly inexperienced Wilkes five . Big Jimbo, 5-9, is a junior. Last year the kid had a 4. 7 . average and he tallied 104 points. This year Jimmy should go well. He's figuring on a great season if everything works out well and he can get the necessary action that he's always fidgeting for. ' Clarence Mitchell, of the 1920 Brodklyn baseball team, went to bat twice in the fifth game of the World Series with Cleveland and had five putouts charged a g ainst him . He hit into Bill Wambsga nss' famous unassisted triple play and also a doubl e play. Going home that night Clarence tripped going up the stairs. An all-around bad day for the guy. . RUSS PICTON looked like a candi<{ate of some kind for All-AmerJJ:an honors right from the start, but that terrific blow in the Hofstra. game-a broken leg-made many think that he would be a forgotten, man when the voting time rolled ro'1,nd. But he was far from a forgotten man. Everybody ,who saw the Wilkes-Hofstra grid encounter ,at Hempstead, L. I., this fall went away singing the . praises of our· first-rate field general. It was Picton's game until the unfortunate mishap in the third period, and it seenis like the Wilkesmen would have turned back the East's second best sm'all college team had-it not been fo_r the interference of . Lady Luck. During the 'tilt, we were parked m the Press Box s urrounded by sportswriters and coaches from '.111 over the New ~ork Metropolitan area. What those guys were saymg about Russ Picton would have given an ordinary guy a swelled head. Hofstra's Coach .HOWDY MYERS stated after the game, when he came to the Wilkes locker room to inquire about Russ' condition tha t he ho_ped he wouldn't · have ·to face a team or a guy that 11re a~ good as Wilkes and Russ for some time to come. Of course, the Hofstra game wasn't thf. whole show . for Picton. His 93-yard play against B~oo_ms?urg STC m the first game of the season, in which Joe Kropiewmck1 did some fine ball lugging, was a preview of things that were to come. At the time of the Hofstra game, Wilkes, via th~ arms of Russ and our other talented' tosser, Eddie Davis, was rated as one of i1he to!> passin~ teams, in the small college ranks ; the 'result of plenty of aerial work m . the Bloom, Ithaca, and Bridgeport games. But, Picton was more than just a passer (get that-"just a passer" , he was a fine field general, a smoother than s mooth .ball handler; and a fine defensive halfback. Russ' favorite trick is proving that the hand is quicker than the eye in the middle of a football field: An honorable mention selection to a fellow who played only four gal1\es is one of the mos't sincere pats on the back that we' ve seen in_a long time. · DIK~ DIVOTS, The BEACON, and the entire sttident body, we're sure, extend hearti.e st congrat.u lations to George and Russ. · The BEACON wo~ld also like to congratulate HARRY Mi LLER, King's College ace, on his selection to the Catholic All-American Team for 1952. .In winning a fi rst string berth on the Catholic team Miller had to beai. out men from such schools as Notre Dame, Holy Cross, ~ordha_m, Villanova, etc., so he must be · very highly thought o_f.

There was no room for her eruptive emoting in the bygone comedies, and she appears to have accomplished the switch. Rounding out the cast were John Williams, as a profit-soggy financier who finally realizes that true love can put a little zest and warmth in a gilt-edged life, and Peter Wurm who pleased the house with ~is frequent walk-ons, all delivered in French.

The writers ,are looking for the man that "has best represented Wilkes College on the sports field the past year." That standard covers a lot: sportsman- ' ship, the earnest desire to play the game, hustle, ability, inspiration, ability to get along with his coach and teammates, and even whether he attends practice sessions regularly or not.

Not only was the meal styled with the choicest turkey, but it was also flavored with the mighty talk of three gentlemen named George Ralston, Robert Partridge and Eugene Farley. Ralston, a football coach, said something about never having coached such a teachable, interested football team. Ralston; a basketball coach also, mentioned an item about the hbopsters carrying ort admirably without a real tall man. Partridge, a baseball coach, was full of praise for a worthy diamond team. No one was present to speak for the wrestling team, but Partridge, also a soccer coach, said something about the winless boaters coming of age and being the best club he has ever coached. . Eugene Farley, a tall fellow and just by little more than chance the president of Wilkes, excused ·himself for the King's game loss, mentioned that he was a three-letter athlete himself, .and then preceded to tell why athletic programs should be subservient to educational programs, a feature which is surprisingly unheard of in many schools of higher elearning. Farley said, "We want you to have a richer, more constructive life at 40 or 50 than you have now." When he sat down, even the most humble soul could feel that the big fellow was dead right and that the informal, pressureless, and purely amateur spirit of the Banquet testified to all that he had said. · After that some awards were handed out to the more outstanc:µng athletes. They were the only things Wilkes was able to give· its athletes this season, all that is except for an education. John Acquilino tells of the little kid who went to see Santa Claus in Macy's. Santir perched the brat on his knee and .then· very sweetly asked him what he wanted for Christmas. "Nothin','' the kid replied, "but you just let Mominie alone.'' * * * * Thus Spake Vujica "On a desert island it is better to have two apples than a million dollars.''

The neer wed men their muscled arms did bare To help the little lass so almost shorn Of life, with blood: and also all did sware The kindly act did make them feel sogood, That Christmas kindness reformed the Bow'ry brood! · "A car has little value to me.

Associate Editors J~S FOXLOW JACK CURTIS ' THE BEACON'S BEAT ·• · A Paper published weekly by and for the students of Wilkes College Subscription price: $1.80 per semester Member Intercollegiate Press THE LOUD GRUNT The Open Wrestling Tournament staged down at the · Gym du?ng the holidays was certainly a service well rendered by Wilkes College. The YMCA a few years ago gave the privilege of sponsoring the tournament over to Wilkes. This year it hit an all-time high, with home-from-college local boys entering and such big wrestling foundries as Syracuse, Pittspurgh, Cornell, Lehigh, Ithaca, and West Chester sending representative teams. Wrestling is a sport dear -to the hearts, often the cold sporthearts, of the Wyoming, Valley inhabitants. The Valley no doubt is one of the top wrestling areas in the United States. It is only fitting that the home-town schbol of Wilkes should sponsor such a -tournament, but it is a token of Wilkes' class that it should stage such a first-rate tournament, one that will irtcrease in popularity and nation-wide publicity year by year. The Associated Press ran a complete coverage of little Wilkes' activity, by the way. And, whil~ the g:reat tournament was in full swing, the Wilkes-l3arre Sports Boosters were blindly holding a meeting on how to reinvigorate sports in Wyoming Valley. PILES OF PILES By now all the concern shown last June ,over the Class of 52's cold s,tone bench producing piles of piles to the student body hc:is been reduced to the ridiculous. Not one case of piles, even at this late date, has been reported. Of course, no one has been seen sitting on the bench either. WE MUST BE DEADER ll'HAN WE THINK At every year's end some journalists of the town put out a pictured yearbook or review of the past year's top activities of the · Valley. The book must be a success and it must please everyone with its coverage, as it keeps _coming out year after year like an Esquire calendar. It is indeed sad to report that review of this year's masterpiece reveals that we here at Wilkes College have done nothing at all, dbsolutely nothing at all, during the past 365 days.

Big Joe, the club's tallest man at 6' ·2", has improved 100 percent, as his record proves. Big Joe caught the fans' eyes at the club's last outing. Against Kutztown Joe went- wild, hitting the 20-column for the first time with 7 field goals and 6 fouls. Joe , has always been a top rebond man, but now that he has begun- to score he has become a real threa:tman on· the Colonel five. Joe's record after the first five games is 46 points for a 9.2' average. Last year Joe averaged only a weak 4. 7 points. NOTICE!

Disclosing for the first time preliminary resiilts of a -f ive-year study into the drinking habits of American college youth, Robert Straus,· research associate at Yale University's Laboratory of Applied Physiology, reports that four out of every five college men who drink began their drinking before entering college. -"We hope the study will · help create a better understanding of student behavior on the part of persons affected -b y such activities, such a.s residents of the college town, alumni and parents," he declared. ~ Data was secured by the Yale survey at 27 colleges and universities in the country. A total of 17,000 students took part in a wide sampling of student drinking habits and _attitudes toward drinking. "The probability that ~ young person will drink at all," Mr. Straus said, "is· closely related to the practices of his or her parents. Of the men whose parents both drink, 90 per cent are themselves users. However, only half of the men '(51 per cent) whose parents both ab-· stain, drink. An even more stri'king relationship between parental use and own use is seen for the women.

BEERS A SHOT IN THE DARK A NEW SEMESTER, ~ refreshed mind, and fresh !<leas, are fa~tors that we haa hoped would give us a fresh app~oach m sports sc~ibbling, bu't too many things of the past semest_er lm~er o_n m the_ mm~ and shouldn't be allowed to pass without mention. First m the mmd of this scribe is the wrestling situation. . IN .SHORT, it is a disgrace to Wilkes College. Never before m the short history of Wilkes has a team been so badly stepped on and t•·eated so shabbily. We were certainly glad to see that Lou Blockus' matment won their first decision of the season last Saturday, a 20-15 win over East Stroudsburg STC, a school which must really be in the dumps when it comes around to wrestling talent. · WE'RE NOT BLAMING Coach Blockus because, we feel he has done his best to make something out of what little material he has had to work with. In that respect, he is to be commended. What gripes us is the fact that there is so darn much really good wrestling talent on this campus and yet can't put a decent team on the intercollegiate mats. In the words of oft-quoted Director of Athletics George Ralston, "It's downraht embarassili'." That's for dang sure. QUESTION OF DESmE The 'trouble is, the guys who could give Wilkes a good wrestling team can't s.e em to find time to get out there and grapple. Ya can't beg 'em. What is it, don't we have even a shred of school spirit left? It appears not. There have been several cases in which studies interferred with wrestlers' participation, but the biggest part of the problem is a lack of desire.' A fine example Wilkes is setting in the one ·sport that has brought it to national prominence! The Open Wrestling Championships at Wilkes College are considered one of the top three meets in the East every year, especially after the tremendous success this Christmas time. YET, WITH OVER 160 WRESTLERS here at Wilkes from over 45 colleges and universities ·East of the Mississippi, Wilkes had only three entries. Get that, three entries and we're the host school. T.o say it was discouragmg would be a gross understatement. To make things look even worse, only one of those entrants, Bill Foote, was a member of the Wilkes team, the others were independents. Starting with Foote's injury, which sidelined him for the rest of the season, there was a mass exitus from the already weak team. Some of the fellows may have had good reason for quitting, but it looked like the rest were just a little too produ to wrestle with a mediocre team. What do we have here, quitters We never have had such a situation in' any of the other sports. Then too, the guys who now compose what's left of the wrestling team haven't shown too much interest in wnning, with the obvious exception of those loy,a l few. . WHAT IS WRESTLING A 'f WILKES anywa,u, a joke? It would seem so from the number of team members that turn out daily for practices. 'Then, many of those who happen to be passing by and stop for a workout at the gym, spend a gay afternoon of tossing a basketball around. Wish they'd choose the sport they're going to participate in. In other sports if a g~y ,h as to smoke during the season, at least he ·does it on the sly, in fear of being caught. The height of it all is a few of the glory boys, who probably will earn their letters, parading around campus, in full view of anyone who can stomach them, puffing away like mad. No.t a care in the world. . And yet these guys, some of whom have never come out of a match unpinned, will be Wilkes Lettermen at the end of the season unless something is done to prevent it. Has it become that easy to cr .. sh the heretofore select group of Wilkes males? Exactly who is to blame, we're not prepared to say, because frankly we're not sure if th~ blame for the wrestling status quo can be pinned down. We'll say this. The sparce crowds that have meandered into the sweat mill on South Franklin Street have certainly not been inspirational. LET'S HA VE ACTION Let's hope that the situation can be corrected ·before it's too late and wrestling has been ruined for good at Wilkes. The crowds at Colonel basketball games haven't been any world shakers either. This year, Wilkes has one of its best basketball teams in years. They put on a · good show and are winning their share of games, too. But whatdya hafta do to lure a crowd, give a~ay television sets? We even have sport dances after Saturday mght games now. The fact is that there is a pathetic lack of school spirit here at Wilkes. If we are going to continue to have intercollegiate sports, and there are those who really benefit by them and enjoy them, the student body had better wake up and get behind them. That's no "College Joe" rah-rah stuff either. BASEBALL SEASON is just around the corner and 'from all indications, Wilkes should have a firie team. Coach Bob Partridge has started to take inventory already and many of the diamondmen are beginning to yearn for the wide open spaces of the Kirby Park gr~ensward. The word is that Wlkes will have one of the best schedules it has ever had in the national pastime. Newcomers to the yet incompl~te slate are former mother school Bucknell, and .Albright, very formidable foes. There is a strong possibility that the Colonel nine will be playing its home games at Artillery ·Park this season too. That should provide a greater interest than ever before for baseball. The return of professional baseball to Wyoming Valley has brought about the talk that Wilkes will have use of the bali park . Wow! Wilkes baseball with seats. WILKES.BARRE BASEBALL UNIQUE Mentioning that Wilkes-Barre is back in the Eastern League, brings us to a very important item. With the Barons to be operated as a community project th.is year, they will need all the support the people of the Valley can give them. Coach Danny Litwhiler has lined up some very promising talent and club officials pro!l'ise_ a "strong team'. It will be nice to have baseball back with us. The community sponsorship- idea is unique in baseball today, and leave it to Wyoming Valley to come up wth it. The club's board of directors consists o{ people with different interests from all over the valley, with but one main purpose, to give sports lovers baseball. Director of Athletics George Ralston is one of. the members of the board.

DARK A NEW SEMESTER, a refreshed mind, and fresh ~deas, are fa~tors that we had hoped would give us a fresh appi:oach m sports sci:1b-bling, but too many things of the past semest_er lm~er o_n m the. mmd and shouldn't be allowed to pass without mention. First m the mmd of this scribe is the wrestling situation. . IN SHORT, it is a disgrace to Wilkes College. Never before m the short history of Wilkes has a t~am been so badly stepped on an~ treated so shabbily. We were certainly glad to see that Lou Blockus matment won their first decision of the seas~n last Saturday, a . 20-15 win over East Stroudsburg STC, a school which must really -be m the dumps when it comes around to wrestling talent. . WE'RE NOT BLAMING Coach Blockus because, we feel he has done his best to make something o~t of what little material he _has had to work with. In that respect, he is to be commended. Wl:1at gripes us is the fact that there •i s so darn much ·really good wrestling talent on this campus and yet can't put a decent team on the intercollegiate mats. In the words of oft-quoted Director of Athletics George Ralston, " It's downraht embarassin'." That's for dang sure. QUESTION OF DESIBE The trouble is, the guys who could give Wilkes a good wrestling team can't seem to find time to get out th.e re and grapple. Ya can't beg 'em. What is it, don't we have even a shred of sch<>?l spirit · 1eft? It appears not • . There have been several cases m which studies interferred with wrestlers' participation, but the biggest part of the problem is a lack of desire. A tine- example Wilkes is setting in the one ' sport that has brought it to national prominence! The Open Wrestling Championships at Wilkes College are considered one o{ the top three meets in the East every year, especially after the tremendol!S success this Christmas time. YET, WITH OVER 160 WRESTLERS here at Wilkes from over . 45 colleges and universities East of the Mississippi, Wilkes had only three entries. -Ge~ that, three entries and we're the host school. T.o say it · was discouraging would be a gross understatement. To make things Jo·ok even worse, only one of those entrants, Bill Foote, was a member of the Wilkes team, the others were independents. Starting with Foote's injury, which sidelined him for the rest of the season, there ·was a mass exitus from the already weak tea"1}. Some of the fellows may have had good reason for quitting, but it looked like the rest were just a little too produ to wrestle with a mediocre team. What do we have here, quitters We never have had such a situation in any of the other. sports. Then too, the guys who now compose what's left of the wrestling team haven't shown too much interest in wnning, with the obvious exception of those loyal few. WHAT IS WRESTLING AT WILKES anyway, a joke? It wo~ld seem so from the number of team members that turn out daily for practices. Then, many of those who happen to be passing by and · stop for a workout at the gym, spend a gay afternoon of tossing a basketball around. Wish they'd choose the sport they're going to participate in. In other sports if a gl!y has to smoke during the season, at least he does it on the-sly, in fear of being caught. The height of it all is a few of the glory boys, who probably will earn their letters, parading around campus, in full view of anyone who can stomach them, puffing away like mad. Not a care in the world. And yet these guys, some of whom have· never come out of a match unpinned, will be Wilkes Lettermen at the end of the season unless something is done to prevent it. Has it become that easy to crash the heretofore select group of Wilkes males? Exactly who is to blame, we're not prepared to say, because fran'jdy we're n qt sure if the blame for the wrestling status quo can be pinned down. We'll say this. The sparce crowds that have meandered into the sweat mill on South Franklin Street have certainly not been inspirational. LET'S HAVE ACTION Let's hope that the situation can be corrected ·before it's too late and wrestling has been ruined for good at Wilkes. The crowds at Colonel basketball games haven't been any world shakers either. This year, Wilkes has one of its best basketball teams in years. They put on a · good show and are winning their share of games, too. But whatdya hafta do to lure a crowd give a~ay television sets? We even have sport dances after Sat~rday night games now. The fact is that there is a pathetic lack of school spirit here at Wilkes. If we are going to continue to have ,intercollegiate sports, and there are · those who really benefit by them and enjoy them, the student body had }?etter wake up and get behind them. That's no "College Joe" rah-rah stuff either. BASEBALL SEASON is just aro.und the corner and from all indications, Wilkes should have a fine team. Coach Bob Partridge has started to take inventory already and many of the diamondmen are beginning to yearn for the wide open spaces of the Kirby Park gr;ens·ward. The word is that Wlkes will have one of the best schedules it has ever had in the national pastime. Newcomers to tqe yet incom,plete slate are former mother school Bucknell, and Albright very formidable foes. ' . There is a strong possibility that the Colonel nine will b~ playing its home games at Artillery ·P ark this season too. That should provide a. g~eater interest than ev~r before for baseball. The returIJ of proiess1onal baseball to Wyommg Valley has brought about the talk that Wilkes will have use of the ball park. Wow! Wilkes baseball with seats. WILKES-BARRE BASEBALL UNIQUE Mentioning that •Wilkes-Barre is back in the Eastern League, brings us to a very important item. With the Barons to be operated as a community project this year, they will need all the support the people of the Valley can give them. Coach Danny Litwhiler has lined up some very promising talent and club officials prO!Jlise_ a "strong team'. It will be nice to have baseball back with us. The community s ponsorship idea is unique in baseball today and leave it to Wyoming Valley to ·come up wth it. The club'~ board of directors consists of people with different interests from all over the valley, with but one m.a in purpose, to give sports lovers ~aseball. Director of Athletics George Ralston is one of the members of the board. · IN THE PRESENT -CAMPAIGN to give Wyoming Valley a OLD WILKES RECORD OF 783 POINTS GONE AS LENNY MAKES 982 IN 3 YEARS By PAUL B.

That one last nook of knowledge, that bulwark of the classical men, has almost perished. It is very sad; The Poets' Corner, with all its evils, offered some kind of a sane balance against all the lesser cliques of athletes, socialites, would-be socialites, materialistic sci~ntists, and the increasing good-time Charley mobs. The Congress of Cliques, the Cafeteria, seems pitifully one-sided without the old Poets' Comer. The Poets' Comer, originated two years ago, was a collection of what could be considered the intellectuals of Wilkes. Whether it ,was a collection of true intellectuals or just snobs was :never certain, but it did ·contain characters who knew what they wanted out of college, which was very pleasing feature when one considers that most parties around the campus are very unsure of what they would like -to do some day and even more befuddled on how to draw the most from college life. On such personal issues and on the highly important current issues of t~e day the Poets' Comer, once _again unlike the majority of other cliques, did give much serious thinking. In fact, the Poets' Comer was always engaged in serious thinking and in drawing deep . conclusions, and for this you must compliment them whether you agree with their conclusions or not. .The Poets' Comer contained a scattering collection of talent. There were writers, actual poets, politicians, actors, actresses, musicians, orators, economists, historians, and even, for decent balance no doubt, the captain of the wrestling team. All the tcilei:it was embryonic, but it was active, noisy, expanding, and alive. Whether it was all going in the right direction or not is another question. Huddled in its choice spot in the Cafeteria, the Poets' Comer would conduct itself like a Samuel Johnson coffee-shop group come alive, though the Poets always made themselves very :µmch alive. There would be good talk and very poot talk, compliments, and damning insults, and even on one occasion a onepunch knockout, much to the surprise and delight of the other lunchers. At the end of the sandwich course one beaming ·chap or maiden would sweetly say, "Tea, anyone?" and then all the Poets would sip the hot beverage., while the more vulgar round and about had chocolate milk and cokes. The Poets' Comer has fallen for a number of reasons. Graduation stripped it of some of its more noble members and its outward snobbishness prevented the freshmen from filling the slack. A few of-the Poets were tossed out of sohool for low grades, one solid indication of evil amongst the contributions of the group, and then other Poets willingly left the fold and were assimulated back into the vulgar. . . Today the Poets' Corner is a mere skeleton of what it once was: It definitely is no longer a power·among cliques. All this is very sad. There is a place among tl).e cliques here at Wilkes for the Poets' Comer. There is a need for such a group, if only to have something alive among all the dead. · a DAYi OF .ACADEMIC FREEDON • This past Wedne·s day, the 25th, was .the ;,Day of Academic Freedom". Five years ago on that date the Communist coup d'Etat in Czechoslovakia' changed Masaryk's democratic country into. a Soviet satellite. Today in the interest of academic freedom-and has man a greater gift than academic freedom? -we celebrate that day, along with all the Czech students in exile.

MARSH XARESKY In the third game of the season the Colonels saw a couple of baskl!tball games go right out the window when 6' 1" Marsh Kare-sky got hurt. Big Marsh at that time had one full season of activity under his belt and two b~autiful sophomore games. The New Yorker had hit for 21 points and then 15 in his first two games and he looked to be headed for a wild season. The injury to his · knee was a serious one, as most kne.e injuries are. Marsh bounced '1ack after three games, but he w,as not the same. He's been playing ever since however. His coolness, his deadly oYer-the-head two-hand pushie, his rebound work, and his most intelligent all-around basketball play are still with him, but without the full use of his legs Marsh has been handicapped. Just for the record book Marsh has been in ten games this season, tallying an even 50 points for an average of 5.0 points pei; game. But for the injury, Marsh would no doubt be high up in the double figures BEACON MEETING!! There will be an important meeting of the BEACON staff Tuesday,' February 24 at 11 A. M.

We doh't know what the Colonels have to do to wi~ over King's in basketball, but they just can't seem to turn the trick. Last .Monday, we felt, the Wilkes hoopsters outscrapped heir rivals in h·e backyard squabble, but the three-point decision on the score board at least would 'indicate otherwise. The play of Parker Petrilak and Jimmy Moss was a sight for sore eyes. Particularly pleasing was Moss' performance. The West Wyoming three-sport all-rounder has too long taken too small a part in the Wilkes -b asketball scene. Jimmy had a tremendous average in the intra-mural league last semester wheri late classes prevented him from making varsity practices and he stepped right into George Ralston's plans when he reported to the varsity at the turn of the new semester. Moss did -a terrific job at holding down the Mona rel'\' s top scorer, Bob Schuler, and was also a wizard off the· boards. He has shown that he can hit from either inside or out and has gained much court poise, which last year hampered him considerably. BOBBY HELTZEL PARKER PILFERS PLENTY The good little-man on the Wilkes bench thi' season has been Bobby HeltParker is just rounding into top form. It was obvious that the long: zel.

I It was our ,pleasu·r e-on an assignment for the .Sunday Independent last Saturday-to interview Bernie Bierman, former head football coach at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Bierman was in Wilkes-Barre for a talk at the Jewish Community Center. We caught him for about ten or fifteen minutes at WBRE-TV's studios where he was a guest on Jimri1 y McCarthy's popular ''Sports Review" show. We started off by asking the forme r "big-time" mentor many of the old standby ques,tions and then delved into the meat of the subject of what was to be his talk later that night at he JCC, "professionalism in college athletics". WILKES COMMENDED We popped one at the aging gentleman, who is a former president of the American Football Coaches Association. We asked him, "do you t hink there is professionalism in college athletics?" and he came back quickly to say t hat he believes that there is d,efinitely play-for-pay in college athletics tod!\Y, but was just as quick to opine that it's not . enough to worry 'about. P ointing out t he athletic policies of Wilkes as compared to many other hrrge and small colleges, we asked Bierman for his views cqncerning a "simon pure" brand of football. Ue commended all such schools and said that they were showing much 'courage to stick to t heir g uns, but he also stated that -a "middle-of-the-road policy is, in his opinion, also acceptable. The ex-Gopher tutor went on to say that a few "big-timers" are making all college athletics look bad. He feels that t he majority of the nation's colleges are sticking close, at least, to t he NCAA's ·"sanity" code. PRESSURE-WIN OR LOSE Asked if he missed coa ching football, Bi erman replied, "Yes, of course I miss it, but I'm glad to be away from all the pressure." Right from the horses mouth we had it-that pressure to win on big-ti.me grid coaches today is tremendous, even in Big Ten schools like 'MinneT.he 1952 Colo.nel1s football team, sota, which claim to adhere to NCAA rules and regulations. Yet, when ,s core 121 points. The op,ponenits he was asked if too much empha sis is being put on winning and earn·s<:o:red 13-1. The team's reoord was ing the almighty dollars, Bierman answered in the negative. We found 3 ·w-ins, 4 los,ses, and 1 >bie. several of his statements contradictory, but then we give him credit for a ce1itain amount of loyalty to his former associates still active in the grid world. No sense making t hem look bad. The talk was particularly interesting to this writer, for just a year or so ago, we ran across Mr. Bierman's name in a nationally circulated magazine under a listing of prominent footba ll coaches who either were fired or resigned under great pressure from the students, alumni, and rabid fans Next Week The Beacon who would accept no less than touchdowns and wins.

It said, "Students carried signs at games saying, 'Bernie Must Go', and even pic-k eted his office with placar~s reading, 'Goodbye, Bernie'." To all the above, we received a firm dernal. . . It was certainly a privilege and honor to interview such a really great sports figur e as Mr. Bernie Bierman. He showed himself to be not ~nly a very interesting subject, but a very amiable fellow as well. Still, we can't help wondering just what was what. �.

There are no communist cells here; nor is there anything even remotely resembling a nest of fellow-travellers. An excellent indication of student thinking is found in the fact that in the mock election held by the IRC in November' only one vote was cast for the Progressive candidate. All of this is :t;lOt to say, however, that there is no danger facing Wilkes. There is a "clear and present danger" of academic ossification and the stifling of the spirit of scientific inquiry. When we start recognizing individuals or groups of individuals, as guardians of our political morality, we open a Pandora's box. Once we establish the principle that the administrative and student councils should scrutinize new ·o rganizations for "subversive" tendencies, it is not illogical to extend their activities into the classroom to seek "subversion" in the lectures. We of the BEACON do not feel that college students need special protection from being corrupted ·b y subversion. If our students can't decide for themselves the merits of an organization, i:t is doubtful whether any board can do so better. If college youth must be protected by others, our colleges have failed. If educated people lack the ability to preserve their democracy, that democracy is dying. The Student Constitution does not have to be changed; the proposed amendment is superfluous and potentially dangerous. We have no course but to reject it.

SCRANTON HAS PROBLEMS TOO We found out the -past week that Wilkes in't the only college that has trouble getting a baseball field ready for its team. Each year the big task of readying the Kirby Park diamond falls on the college and each year the field is ready for opening day. The job often· falls on ·1 olunteers, who pitch in with their time and labor to get · things in ship-shap·e as was the case last year. Up at Scranton University, where the Scranton Miners' b~llpa:t,k is the collegians home field, opening day had -to be postponed. We can just imagine how the Scranton papers billed it. Scranton U .-Wilkes, -postponed-no field. The Miners' home abode not ready to be used, the game had to be set back. The tilt will probably be played as a 6:30 affair before a Scranton Eastern League contest a little later in the season according to Colonel Coach Bob Partridge. Those workouts that the Bloomsburg State Teachers College nine had with the Wilkes-Barre Barons at Athletic Park in Bloom must have paid oft', for they really made the breaks and a few hits count here last Saturday in downing 'the Wilkesmen 11-6. We were able to see the first few innings of the tilt and things looked good for the Partridgemen for a time. When we left, newcomer to the mound stall' Mel McNew of Baltimore was throwing a beautiful game at the Huskies. He must have weakened considerably, for in the seventh, the visitors ganged up for six tallies. Mel is a deliberate worker with plenty of stuff' on the ball. Dale Warmouth has tabbed hini as a "Shantz-sized" performer, and he certainly shows plenty of promise. Coach Partridge must think so too, else he · wouldn't have drawn the starting nod for the opener. Unless we miss our guess, Mel and roommate John Milliman are in for a very good season. A few more games and the whole outfit should be ready to go after that good year that it is due for. Incidentally, the Moravian game. which would have been the first baseball meeting between the Bethlehem institution and Wilkes, has been cancelled. Wet grounds made it impossible for the g!ime to be played there last Friday, so the Colonels were forced to meet Bloom cold. What with an already close schedule, the Moravian tilt wasn't re-scheduled. Jimmy Ferris, who showed he can run like a scared rabbit during the past basketball season is nothing to qe sneezed at 'on the bases either. The Kingston freshman had a few base knocks in the initial tilt and looks like a million bucks in the outfield. The boy can really cover territory out there in the pastures. A fast man like Jimmy can mean the difference in a close ball game. By the time the season is over, we're sure he'll have given quite a few ' pitchers Saint Vitus's Dance and an equal number of catchers reason to look for greener pastures, -preferably in the outfield. "Ace" Wengyn also turned in a stellar performance in the inaugural as did second sacker Lenny Batroney. Both boys proved potent stic·km~n, with a pair of singles each, Ferris led in runs scored with two, while the cat cher and second-baseman had one each. Things look a little better for tomorrow as the Colonels crew meanders up to Oneonta, N. Y., for a game with Hartwick College's Indians. • WHUTCH\J TINK, HAH? Last week, in another local weekly publication--0ur paying job-we reported that several fans have suggested that the Greater Wilkes-Barre Sports Boosters Club, which has done so much for professional sports in its short existence, give some aid to Wilkes and, you'll pardon the expression, King's (no offense meant Matt) · in rounding up decent crowds for their fall gridiron openers. Either nobody reads Week-End Chatter; or nobody gives a darn about Wilkes and King's. We figured we take the issue to Wilkes to find out how the students feel about it. Does anybody think it would be a nice gesture, if the Boosters are willing, or doesn't anybody think on the campuses either? We've been told that if a prize were offered for the best opinions, suggestions or what have you, we would be snowed under with replies. Well, we have tuition to pay too, so thre will be no financial reward oft'ered. We'd just like to ·know how the students feel about outside aid. Also, why don't the local colleges draw? Certainly Mike Lewis or some other deep thinker should be able to come up with at least an opinion. Tennis anyone?

He can throw hke a madman, he can handle pitchers, and he has few flaws as a mechanical man, plus a nice long-ball .300 balling average. But Joe is now shortstop, always available for catching duties iJ need be. . Joe Wengyn. Ace. off Wenqyn Is no Krop1ewnick!,The butfirst-string he does catcher fill the now bill. is Though slow inthe getting the ball, Ace h~ a good enough arm to put the old damper on most college base-stealers• . Hes a pretty fair mechanical man als-,. Though once an admittedly a weak hitter. Ace amazed the folks by whacking out two hits in the opener and by swiping four dubious bases. Possibly the Ace might blossom Into a constant slugger. Backing up Ace is rookie- Mickey Perlmuth. Known as The Lung. this handsome New Yorker is a good boy and could develop Into a pretty fair catcher. He has all the needed talents for the Job, and ihls hitting has even perked up. So far the Lung has seen very little action.

A pint-size, quick little guy, Jimbo showed plenty in basketball, so much so in fact that mciny were disappointed when he was often ignored in the lineup. Possessing reflexes, probably the fastest seen around here in a long time, Jimbo could steal balls, lay them up, and tear around the court in bewildering style. Above all, his fire for playing the -game, still genuinely rare around here, was endearing to those who cared. Now operating in baseball- Jimbo shown here crossing the plate with the Colonels' first run of the season- Ferris has given Partridge a smile or two. He seems to be a cute left-handed pitcher, but Partridge has put his speed to use and his left-h,anded batting power as center fielder. But there he is very similar to Don Blankenbush, the old C0lonel standard as baseball players g o. s y1'81C'llSe U.nruvie:r,my. Colonel Sport Shorts...
