ply killing of a kind not often seen or heard of
 There is one college baseball player who will never shine as a barnstorm- CT. "Bilr' Terney. varsity pitcher at Lafayette, suffered a nervous break down recently when the Maroon nine went south. The railroad trip proved so tiresome to him that he was unable to go to the mound. Tierney's case is bound to be interesting to the big leaguers. who spend about 60 per cent of their professional days riding the ties
 It was generally conceded before the start of the season that the Brooklyn Dodgers would threaten the league leaders again this campaign if ther. pitchers came through. And that's just what is happening. In a recent stretch of three games with the Phil lies three Brooklyn hurlers. Reuther, Vance and Shriver, held the Quaker City team to two runs. For twenty three consecutive innings the Phils failed to score. Considering the fact that two of these hurlers were rock ;es, whose services were not banked on last spring. the future ought to look pretty bright for Manager Rob- :nson.

Listen, Olga
 Is Speaking!

Sports should not be paramount fin a college students life unless his ideal in life is Jack Dempsey" says Dr. Olga Bridgman of the department of psychology at the University of California Like many of her assoc iates the coast psychologist believes in athletics only to the extent that they keep a man physically fit and ment- ally alert. Sports she adds afford recreation, keep the body active and develop sportsmanship. but I do not believe in athletics. The one who eX- cels in football is not ayways he who makes the best man.

 At Finish Line

In several of their games this season the Brooklyn Dodgers, with two out and the bases empty, have staged batting rallies which resulted in many runs In the fifth inning of a recent game with Boston, Olson and HUng1ing, the first two Robins to ap- pear at the plate, were disposed of handily. Before the third out was made, however, the F1atbush team had pushed over four runs. In the seventh session they scored one run after the first two fbatterS were re- tired. In a recent game against the Giants the Brook1yns pushed over five runs after two were out.

 As a result, every man interest ed in affairs pugiIistic is specu- Iatlng on the matter of the cham p1cn'S next move without arriv- ing at any definite conclusion be- yond the fact that he is giving MeSsrs.
