PAGE FOUR CLARKSON INTEGRATOR SATURDAY, OCT. 21, 19B0 Thirty Cagers Vie for Top Team Posts Hodge Initiates Practice Sessions; Six Lettermen Form Team Nucleus Candidates for this season varsity basketball team be- gan workouts last week under the tutelage of Coach Hank Hodge. Thirty prospects are vying for positions on the start- ing five which will take on the Big Red of Cornell, at Ithaca, in the season's curtain raiser on December 2. Coach Hodge has a tremendous rebuilding task and that is the reason for the early season parctice sessions, which are being held three times a week. Only two starters from last year are at Hodge's disposal, these two men being Ed Siedlecki, who will not be able to work out until the ter- mination of the pigskin season, and Lee Colavito. Four other lettermen plus four holdover squad members are the remaining experienced personnel with which Hodge 'hopes to build a winner. Six foot-six Stu Lan- dersman, who developed rapidly- last season, Co-eaptain Tom Gat- -ta, Boh Hodge, and Ron Piglia- «ampi are the returning lettermen designed to see considerable ac- tion. John Yuhas, Lou Critelli, Pat Stangler, and Bob Waller also figure prominently in the rebuild- ing program. Crouch Scores High h Frat Bowling Tilt The fraternity bowling league bescan its maple buzzing camnaign last Sunday, with Bob Crouch of Neutral burning up the alleys with a 587 triple and 235 single. Char- lie Mueller, with a three game total of 547 and Tom Gatta who hit for 518, led Lambda to a four point win over Neutral. Russ Lombardn paced Sigma Delta to a four point win over Kappa Kappa Tau by spliting the pins for a 548 score. Karma won four points as a result of O Pi O's forfeit.

Al Sellers, another reg- ular from last year, was also lost to Uncle Sam during the sum- mer. Although Tom Dulmage and Denny Atkinson were the only two men lost .through graduation, it is going to be extremely diffi- cult to fill the shoes of perform- ers such as Jahn, Nelligan and Sellers. However, Coach Hodge states that he does not expect an un- defeated team, but on the other hand, if the boys show the spirit and drive he believes they have, thev should surprise a number of their adversaries and provide a representative team for Tech followers.

The range has been improved since the close of last year's season. The glare from the water, over which, the marksmen previously fired, has been eliminated by means of a series of dikes and channels which serve to confine the water which seeps in through the walls. Also the interior walls and ceil- ing have been painted with colors that serve to diminish glare. There are six firing points pres- ently available for use. Officers Elected The club officers for this year are: Jerry Hawkins, president; Bill Bokerman, vice-president; Larry Goldstein, executive officer; and Richard Swanson, treasurer. The older club members have been busily engaged, lately, in coaehinsr applicants in their at- tempts to qualify for membership. To qualify, the prospective mem- ber must fire a three positional score of at least 140 out of a po?siWe 300. This must be ac- complished within the thirty-day neriod following his application for membership. Range Open Non-ROTC students are also invited to apply for membershin in the club as the school has both an BOTC rifle tenm and a vars- itv rifle team. The range is ot>en, for those who wish to prac- tice, on every afternoon of the week with the exception of Tues- day. It is also open on Wednes- dav and Friday evenings. The team has lost. Captain Conk, who coached them to last year's victories. This year Sergeant Lei Ryan, assisted by Sergeant Steve Ori, is acting as coach of the team, and faculty adviser for the club.

Cortland Downs Tech in Close Game; Tech Leads at Half on Kopchik Run Coming up with two quick tallies in the final period, the Cortland State Red Dragons surged back to defeat a stub- born Clarkson eleven here on Snell Field Saturday after- noon with a score of 14-6. The exciting game saw Tech strike early and stave off several Cortland threats before folding in the final ten minutes of play. The tilt opened with Clarkson receiving the ball; and on the second play, full back George Kopchik broke through the middle on a trap play, and raced 62 yards for the lone engineer score of the ball-game. Joe Di Micco's conversion, hampered by a low pass from center, was wide. The rest of the quarter was spent near midfield as the teams matched short drives. Larries Undefeated; Alfred, RPI, Edged The Scarlet Saints of St. Law- rence University remained one of the few undefeated teams among New York State Colleges, as a result of their 39-0 whitewashing handed to an undermanned Mid- dlebury eleven last Saturday. It was homecoming game for SLU and they really put all their eggs in one basket as they put on their sharpest demonstration of the season. Halfback John Yannes, who was destined to see second string service until Bernie Con- nors was put out of action, scor- ed three touchdowns and increas- ed his rushing average greatly. All of the other Clarkson op- ponents saw action on Saturday, which produced the following re- sults. Rochester Ties The University of Rochester tied a favoi-ed Union crew 7-7 at Rochester. It was the third home game for the Yellowjackets and their third consecutive tie. They played to a 7-7 standstill with Tech in the season's opener and followed a week later with a 12- 12 stalemate against Allegheny. The Alfred Saxons met defeat for the first time this year when their traditional rival, the Univer- sity of Buffalo, downed them 13- 0. Hofstra won its first game of the season when they defeated a Moravian College team 12-0. The Dutchmen's record now stands at one win and three losses. Although RlPI lost its third straight, they put up a terrific struggle before bowing to the Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy 15-14. In the day's finale, Upsala handed Hartwick a 14-7 setback at Oneonta. Tech Leads at Half During the second period, the visitors, sparked by the plunging of Ed Schmitt and the passing of Pete Procops, moved into Clark- son territory and dominated the play. The tough Tech defense stopped the Dragon assault three times within the thirty and left the field at halftime with a six point lead. Cortland Scores Until midway in the fourth quarter, neither team was able to start an effective scoring drive but then Cortland began to roll. Starting on the Clarkson 44 yard line, Cortland drove into the end zone for the tying marker with Collins crashing over from the two yard line. On the all import- ant extra point try, Steubing's kick was good and Cortland led 7-6. Tech took to the air in vain and then Dick Stys was dropped on the six yard line after recovering a high pass from center. Cortland took over and immediately scored. Schmitt, ordinarily an end, led the Cortland offensive with a net gain of 114 yards in 20 attempts. Larries Down Freshmen In \Family Day\ Grid Tilt Attempting to score an upse* over the St. Lawrence Freshman the Clarkson Frosh ended up on the short end of a 25-0 sc^rp Dutch Proechel termed the Lar- ries squad as one of the strong- est teams the Engineers have fafed this season. Asby scored twice in the first quarter to give St. Lawrence an early lead. The Scarlet Saints scored again in the second quar- ter when Rose intercepted a Clarkson pass and romped 50 yards to make -tfhe score 19-0 at the half-way mark. Ro?e connected on a pass to Miller for the final St. Lawrence tally in the third period. The Clarkson Yearlings held the vis- itors for the remainder of ih*> \pme ^\t were unable to reach pay dirt.

TO THE J & G OF COURSE! SATURDAY, OCT. 21, 1950 CLARKSON INTEGRATOR PAGE FIVE Speaking of Sports by GEORGE M1TCH1E \ The traditional contest with St. Lawrence is only one week away. This means that the full attention of the Clarkson football team has been focused in that direcion. The Larries, once again, possess a true pigskin powerhc-use, in the sense of small college football. They have breezed through four consecutive games in relatively easy fashion and have yet to be extended this season. With this thought firmly en- trenched in the minds of the Tech coaching staff, it is hoped that Clarkson will meet the task by battling the Scarlet Saints toe to toe. According to scouting reports, the Larries have not faced an aggressive, hard hitting team, in their previous four encounters. Clarkson, in their tilt against Alfred, shower every indication that they could play a rough and tough brand of ball; the type that the coaching staff has-been stressing and that will definitely be neces- sary if Paul Patton's crew is to be submerged come next weekend. Considerable time has been spent in smoothing the offensive pat- terns, which were practically nil against Cortland's Red Dragons last Saturday. Full length scrimmage sessions have been the order of the day so that the backfield ball handling will coincide with the front wall blocking. Clarkson is a much better ball team than it showed against Cort- land. The players know this fact and so do the coaches 'Whoop' Snively and Bill Harrison, who are being ably assisted during this two week span by two former Tech football stars and now members of the Clarkson faculty, George MacLean and Whit Reed. The team met one of those unaccountable circumstances last week of not being \up\ for the game. Probably the dominating factor to this cause was lack of contact work and no scrimmage sessions which tend to hamper the ef- fectiveness of play timing and blocking assignments. Clarkson followers, this year, are looking for a repeat perform- ance of the 1947 contest when an underdog Tech eleven demolished a heavily favored St. Lawrence squad. The present situation, as far as team records are concerned, is practically the same as confront- ed the two rivals three years ago. St. Lawrence had been a consis- ent winner in contrast to a losing Clarkson team. However, the Green and Gold was supreme that 18th day of October as they over- whelmed the Canton boys in every phase of the game. Their spirit and determination carried them to unexpected heights as the vicious offensive blocking ripped the Larry line unmercifully. The precision with which they carried out their special defensive assignments was a thrill to watch. The looping line play, from one foot off the line of scrimmage, put a damper on the tricky St. Lawrence \T\ formation and as a result they were held scoreless until late in the fray when Tech had a commanding 27-0 lead. Maybe that will not happen this year, but we hope so and sincerely think that it can be accomplished. St. Lawrence has a star studded squad, but Clarkson has the personnel that could easily gain its second win of the current season. It is going to take a great deal of hard work and concentration to stop backs such as John Yannes, Bob Rey- ell, Jack O'Loughlin, Jack Metraw, and a host of others plus a tough shell to crack in the Larry forward wall. \Whoop\ and his assistants are aware of this and are working the squad harder than at any time during the season to make sure the boys are keyed to top playing ability. Once the team has reached its peak, you can be sure that they will be out for nothing less than total victory. That's what they're grinding for and that's what they are determined to achieve. The aches and pains sustained during a contest are never quite so bothersome when you win—especially over St. Lawrence. Dr. Tead Criticizes , Collegiate Methods * Dr. Ordway Tead, chairman of . the Board of Higher Education of ' New Yoi'k City, in a recent sur- I vey of current methods being used in colleges, warned teachers against \their greatest occupat- ional hazard, laziness.\ He also deplored the fact that in the conduct of classes, the ma- jority of college teachers \are primarily talkers.\ Dr. Tead said, \They merely tell others. They dispense words and more words. It sometimes seems as if many classes are conducted on the premise that the printing press and the mimeographing ma- chine are non-existent.\ Nicholson Representative At Engineering Meeting Elwood J. Nicholson Jr. of Slingersland is representing the Tau Gamma chapter of Pi Tau Sigma, national mechanical engi- neering honor society, at the or- ganization's national meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio, this weekend. Nicholson, who is vice-president of the local chapter, will serve on the members' auditing committee. He is a mechanical engineering senior. This will be the first time the Clarkson chapter has participated in the national convention. Last May National President H. C. Jennings and Vice-President Gjes- dahl were in Potsdam to aid in the official installation of the lo- cal group. Glass Backboards Something new that has been added to the Clarkson basketball court are +he regulation glass backboards. Henry R. Hodge, athletic director, has stated that the installation is in keeping with a new rule governing college basketball, that all backboards shall be of regulation size (6'x4') and of glass. In past years, three types of backboards were in legal use. These were the fan shape, 6'xl' wooden and 6'x4' glass. It is ex- pected that the boards will be transferred to the new gym Upon its completion. New Press Box Erected; Announcing Booth Added A new press ibox was recently added to the facilities at Snell Field following the destruction of the old one during a wind storm last spring. Several extra features were incorporated in the building of the new press box, the most notable being the flat roof. This is very advantageous for taking motion pictures of the games. Another addition is the space al- loted in front of the press box for WNTC announcers. SEE Lamar Bros.
