' �3 WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 13, 1953 Batroney Shatters Benson's All-Time Mark POINT PIBATE T_i_j 1 L__u_ _~_By_J~-c~_cu_~_1s._~Pv_orts_JJ_ito_, A SHOT IN THE. 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.

It still remains for some other college kid to make his way in the -_ rough sport.

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.

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.

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.

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.''

Our- choice · of this rough, i80 lb. guard may have come as a surprise, but, like Willie Morgan, Joe can only be fully appreciated when you've ,played with him. J3ill V eroski BILL VEROSKI Filling Twinkletoes Nicholas' shoes .is a feat that most ballplayers -wouldn't feature. Bill Veroski didn't fea,ture it too highly himself, but he made the attempt and did a sweH job. The hard-working back -and nobody worked harder and took more of a beating than Billy -was in there all the time. He tied Eddie Davis for the team's scoring leadership with 30 points. No questions can 1be raised concerning Bill's rightful place with the honorable mentions. Colonel Sport Shorts.It Comeback story: In 1899 Tulane University's football team played .seven games, losing all seven arid failing to score a single point. 1¥, year later, in 1900, Tulane-':Wal(ei . five games without a defeat and not a single point was scored against the Green Wave. When Lefty Grove. broke into organized baseball back in 1920 he walked 16 men in his first game. The next time he appeared on the mound he struok out 23. In 1886 a pitcher was allowed to take a hop, skip and a jump in delivering the ball to the batter. Bill Tilden once played over 150 games of tennis in one day back in 1924.

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. With such a standard there ·will naturally generate much disagreement. This is . why the sports staff has chosen ten honorable mentions, an attempt to give a little ·p raise to everybody.

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.

But Mike Dorizas is not one of the lesser men. We are indeed fortunate to be able to welcome him. Mike has been to Russia ten times, and three times he has circled the ·globe.

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.

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.

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. Ray hits the books like he hits opposing runners. He can give you a pretty fair review oi history, any' phase of it that is-even the part he makes . .

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. '* STICK NECK OUT Always one who likes to live dangerously, we have to disagree with the "big boys" and look for WHkes to find an upset victory over King's out there on the Kingston gridiron. It will be the surprise of the year to many, but not so surprising to some. Good hunting .. ....

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.

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.'

Books are now being returned on time. Books are being checked out, fewer being "borrowed". And the golden tinge to the chlorophyll a,t mosphere, silence, hcts shone forth. The new silence is delightful.

ROOTERS AND SENIORS CLOSE OUT FOURTH WINLESS SEASON AT TRENTON TOMORROW By PA UL B. BEERS BRIBE CASE SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN LIGHTLY GEORGE ELIAS After two years of varsity ball at Meyers and now four at Wilkes. handsome George Elias scored his first touchdown.down. In the Ithaca game George plowed across from the two-yard line. For the co-captain of the team and all his fans it was wonderful. George is one of the really solid football players at Wilkes. He was a topnotch center in high school. making second team All-Scholastic. At Wilkes he was alwavs a standout. last year being nan;ied the Backfield Man of the Year. Blocking backs usually don't come in for much fanfare , but the team last year figured dependable George rated the honor. This season. as in the past. George also plays ilne-backer-up on defense. • A good time to watch the 180 pound. 5-10. 20-year-old star will be in the King's game. George has never played a bad one. Two years ago he was simply great in stopping the Monarchs. Last year he intercepted a pass and lumbered 60 yards before he was pulled down. much to his own sorrow. His shoe-string tackling was something beautiful. Tomorrow night George will be around. but he is suffering a bruised face> and a hurt shoulder. Still, he is almost certain to go the full sixty minutes. The attempted football bribe case at the University of Maryland points, strongly than ever, to the steadily mounting and already dan ' gerous overemphasis of football in American Colleges and Universities. The Maryland case is the first widely publicized collegiate gridiron bribe case, but one is led to believe that there •must have been many more than have come to the public's attention. Not being in a position to advise as to what should be done, we will have to be content by stating that something should be done-and pronto. ' The very fact that a Maryland student saw fit to approach three Terrapin stars, shows just how open gambling is on "big time" college football games. But, to get to the base of things, if our country's Fall pastime hadn't been allowed and encouraged to grow to such tremendous proportions, there would more than probably not be such cases cropping up in the headlines. Why must schools like the University of Southern California and Pitt spend upwards of $500,000 per year just on football'? Not that we're. trying to make Wilkes a "Knight in Shining Armour", but look at football on our level. We'll admit that our crowds are sparse, but· to those who attend, isn't there a closer relationship to the players than in an institution with enrollments number· ing in the thousands'? And then, we're not buying good football teams at $500,000 per to suit overwrought alumni or to publicize our alma mater. NO MONEY MADE HERE To say that .Wilkes is trying to make money on football would be absurd, but it is a very important factor in present day amateur football elsewhere throughout the nation. Pretty nearly everybody, it seems, wahts to make the fast buck. The almighty dollar has taken over where simon purism left off. Wilkes College loses money on every sport in which its teams compete on the intercollegiate level. But officials of our school, like those in other athletically "sane" institutions, realize that much good is derived from athletics when handled correctly. Therefore, in spite of the losses incurred, which are not too great, · little colleges like Wilkes carry on with athletic programs, which adhere to the philosophy of the "Golden Mean"-middle of the road. '(World Lit. 151.) Then, there is not great pressure on the administration or coaches from the alumni to produce bigger and better teams. Not _one person called for Coach George Ralston's head last fall when his team lost to King's for the first time- in six years. Had Ralston been coaching at, say, Minnesota or · some other big time university, he might well have gotten the axe. Sounds unreasonable'? Well, in 1950, over ten of America!s top grid tutors got their walking papers just because their teams failed to have winning seasons, and in most cases, it was the alumni which was res·p onsible for the ousters. · · The last chance for a victory comes up for the soccer Colonels tomorrow. After four fruitless years the boys are still looking for it. Maybe that win will be found at Trenton State Teachers College tomorrow. If not-then the 28th defeat.

Education Club To Hold Meeting Monday Night _Budget Balanced In Record Time lege Debating Society. which in sharp contrast with the yearbook . was granted -an increase of thre~hundred and ten dollars over last year's allotment. Mike Lewis started things rolling by presenting a tentative budget to the Council. This budget was not a ccepted by the Council but w as deemed worthy of consideration, and the Council decided to vote upon the appropriations for each organization separately. The results were -as follows: The Beacon was appropriated $125Q. This figure is $3 07 less than th,e amount requested by the Beacon, and $200 less than the amount received last year. Cue 'n' Curtain was alloted $475, receiving $75 less than its request of $21 0w and ~126 less than last year's approprial.ion. The Debating Society was granted $600, which called for a reduction of $ 19 from the request submitted by the society and $31 0 more than last year's allotment. · The M-anuscript accepted a $146 reduction from its request of $446. The $300 granted the literary magazine was $100 less than last year's allocation of $4 00. . ' The International Relations C1ub w a s allowed $350. This sum is $8 less th-an the request submitted and $150 more than last year's offering. The Amnicola, of course, will receive $3000, taking a reduction of $800 from the amount requested, but an increase of $40Q over last year's sum. The dormitories were allot:ated $100, the same amount as was requested. Four organiz-ations on the campus which did not receive any funds whatsoever in previous years were grcrnted $75 each. These are the Male Chorus. The Economics Club, Chem ,Qlub . and the Biological Society. The generosity of the 'stude,nt'- Council should not be overlooked, for in granting the Council $678 for the social activities fund they will receive $22 less than the requested $100 . and $251 less than last year's appropriation of $929. The grand total of $7,053 appropriated by the Council this year is $483 more than the amount allocated last year -and $ 1.~97 less than the total amount requested by the various organizations on the campus. · , Roxy Reynolds, president 6f the Student Council, did a commendable job in keeping order at. all times througho_u t the• meeting.

When Nixon came to town last week, a large Wilkes aggrega·t ion went over to cheer ·and wave little "I Like Ike" signs. On the Stevenson side, Mike Lewis is organizing _support fast and furious, the intellectual Poets' Corner now being almost completely Adlai adherents. TOUCHDOWN: ELIAS Down at the bot-tom of last week's Ithaca box score appeared a little item-"Touchdown: Elias." Even at this early date it has probably been forgotten by most folks, but to Georgy Elias himself it is a personal triumph. His act alone of tossing the ball over his head and spraying forth to all the fans his ,wide handsome smile testifies to that. Personal triumps usually don't rate editorials, especially in such fields as football. But with Gig it's different. After three years at Meyers and now four at Wilkes, blocking back Elias has scored. There's real human interest there. And George did it the poetic way too. In the second quarter Wilkes had the ball on the four-yard line. Gig carried. He made it to the one, and then Davis scored. But in the third quarter George plunged the ·whole way, two yards, for his big one. For the rest of the evening ~and after the game, George was thoroughly satisfied with himself. Elias, as Coach Ralston will tell you, is a great ballplayer. We of the BEACON can't let such a glorious event for the guy go by without mentioning it. BEERS, editor College life can be expensive. Like the father who went to see Say, !have you seen rthe cheer- his son's dean. "Why I've never seen such huge expenses;" he said. "And worst of all is the languages." "Languages?" the Dean asked. "Where do you see that?" "Right here!" the troubled father replied. "Here's an item· that says 'For Scotch'."' Then there's the one about the flea who was crying because his children were all going to the dogs. · They had to bury Poor McGee The gun was loaded and so was he. ***** MORE OF WOMEN Only a woman can rave over a pair of nylon stockings when they're empty. . .

The crux of the issue, l believe, is that perhaps -t he Admi-n istrntion, could with the co-o,pemtion of the city authorities,, work out some •p lan whereby the students would be allowed a three 1hour.limit on parking. Or perhaps , some .noo.riby lot suc-h as the one in the r ear of the bu.ild.i,ng ·on the corner of 'South and ·South Main Stireets could be ren:ted w·i th the coHection of the students' parking fees.

If an -e xception is t o :be made i-n t hi-s instance, _s•hould not exceptions be made in otheT worthy instances? Intercollegiate Press Editorially Speaking BEAU GEORGE Coach,, George Ralston's impromptu speech on the "spirit of football last week at the pep rally was one of the finest pieces of oratory given around here in quite some time. It is remarkable that a man so close to football so long as George Ralston can still see the trees in spite of the forest and know and appreciate the real heart and soul of the game. It is remarkable that that heart and soul, that vast intangible, could be put in words and gestures and transmitted to a light-hearted audience as George Ralston did. But George is a remarkable man. We kept no notes on Ralston's speech-it's too bad we didn't_,but we were moved by the message. George took the T-formation, gate receipts, and plunging fullbacks out of football and . put in the fellowship, the rewards of hard work, the good sportsmanship, and the moving passion · of the game. George's ' "spirit" and "victory" aren't synonymous like they are in many other places. Many would disagree, but George is right, . It is too bad Judge Saul Streit of New York City wasn't on hand to hear Coach Ralston. The Judge would have liked George arid would have enjoyed the little talk. Last January Judge Streit was · fore~ to. hear bigger coaches . say such garbage as, "My boys didn't throw games they just shaved points.''. "SPIRIT OF FOOTBALV' PERSONIFIED The BEACON tips its hat to the football team for its glorious showing against Bloomsburg last Saturday night. Considering the odds, the Colonels did excellently.

Things look promising for the grid Colonels this week as they prepare to leave for Bridgeport, Conn., where tomorrow they engage the University of Bridgeport's Purple Knights. The men in Blue and Gold stand a good chance of coming home with their first victory of the '52 season. The Knights haven't had much success thus far this season.

TEAM SHOWS PROMISE IN LOSING ABOUT LAST WEEK: Most people who saw the Colonels drop their opener to Bloomsburg last ··Saturday night are inclined to agree that Wilkes didn't look as bad as the 32-12 score would indkate. The first half was a fiasco, we'll admit, but it was an entirely different team, that was out on the field in the second half. EDD-IE DA VIS and RUSSEL. PICTON were hitting like crazy with ·passes and our receivers were really getting out there in the clear. The Wilkes ground attack was nil and then some. The game statistics showd the Blue and Gold with a deficit of 16 yards r~nnings; but it must be remembered that much of the yardage lost on the ground was due to the long losses inflicted on our passers in the first half, when they didn't have . time to get rid of the ball, N.o football coach likes to see his team h>se, and that goes doubly for GEORGE RALSTON . He was not altogether disappointed though. . . (. ' * * * * THIRD TD \\r AS HEALLY GOOD Actually, the . "Raiders" scored that third tou chdown. Here's how t~e story goes . . .

The ball was brought ·back to about tre one foot line. The odd thing is that in such _an instance, the runner ·' receiving assistance from his teammates calls for an automatic 15-yard penalty. No such penalty was called'. One way or another, the officials were at fault. A few plays later the officials again blundered by calling an offensive holding penalty ag~inst number "10" which jersey was at that time being worn by co-captain GEORGE ELIAS, who in turn was getting a rest on the bench. We're not saying that that third TD would have meant the difference, but it could have. MUCH GAINED FROM INITIAL TILT Even in losing, Wilkes got a lot of good out of the game. Ralston got a chance to see what he actuallyhas. He discovered an addition to his backfield in Joe Krop. The contest showed Wilkes fans that the team never gives up--no matter how much the underdog it may be. You can rest assured that there were times in that ball game when Bloom Coach JACK YOHE was plenty worried. We're bound to iRtprove. A better pass defense is, of course, the big need right now atld the team has been drilling hard all week with that need in mind. The ground attack wa,s not sharp by any means, but it will improve, too. If the running offense can become respected by the opposition, then the passing will click even more. And if the passing continues to look as good as it did last Saturday, the running attack should prove more successful. At least, that is the philosophy of Coach Ralston. POSSmLE COLONEL LINE-UP Pos.

Last year, with Al Nicholas riding the bench because of injuries, the Huskies ran over our outmanned team, 27-7. In Bloomsburg, Wilkes faces one of its most formidable opponents of the season.

FOWLER, DICK AND WALKER CH ES TE.RF IE LD TO OffER BOTH REGULA_R & KING-SIZE BOTH regular and king-size Chesterfields are premium quality cigarettes and come in the smart white pack. BOTH contain only those proven ingredients that make Chesterfields the best possible smoke: the world's best tobaccos, pure, more costly moistening agents ( to keep them tasty and fresh), the best cigarette paper that money can buy - nothing else. BOTH are much milder with an extraordinarily .good taste and, from the report of a well-known research organization - no unpleasant after-taste. BOTH are exactly the same in all re• I spects. There is absolutely no difference except that king-size Chesterfield is larger - contains considerably more of the same tobaccos - enough more to give you a 21 o/o longer smoke, yet costs little more. - * CONTAINS TOBACCOS OF BETTER QUALITY AND HIGHER PRICE THAN ANY OTHER KING-SIZE CIGARETTE -EITHER WAY YOU LIKE 'EM � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
