The Basketball Trip.
The basketball team returned last
week from their hard Eastern trip
with the result of two games won
out of the five played The team
played just as pluckily as on the
previous trip but were greatly handi
capped by the size of the floor in
most places and their poor physical
condition due to the strain of travel
ing. It can safely be said that our
team would have won every game
had they played the same teams on
the Armory floor.
After the Bucknell game, which
proved to be rather rough and
where our team was deficient in
weight, Fordham was played in New
York on Feb. 26. The game was
close and exciting but the superior
team work and clever playing of the
Penn State boys won for them by
the score of 27 to 21. On the fol
lowing night Manhattan was defeated
in just as spirited a game, 29 to 26.
The features of this game were the
shooting of Funston and the foul
goals by Hermann.
The C. C. of N. Y. team proved
the fastest aggregation of basketball
players that State was ever up
against and they simply monopolized
the ball during the game. The floor
was so small that no effective team
work could be done.
The Lehigh game on Saturday,
Feb. 29, found the Penn State team
in very poor physical condition, but
they started off in good 'shape, end
ing the first half 13 to 9 against the
Brown and White. As the game
progressed, however, the team
weakened and finally lost 24 to 16.
On the whole trip Waha and Funston
excelled in all around playing while
the rest of the team never lacked in
their usual good work. The scores

Since the last announcement con-
cerning the organization of the
wrestling club, many candidates
have come out and prospects are
good for a team which will represent
State very creditably. This is a
new line of activity for State, but its
popularity just now seems to predict
a bright future. There are 42 can
didates out, divided as follows : un
der 115 pounds, three; 115 to 125
pounds, three; 125 to 135 pounds,
three; 135 to 145 pounds; eight;
145 to 158 pounds fifteen; 158 to
175 pounds, seven; and over 175,
in the heavyweight class, there are
three.
The nights for practice have been
changed to Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday, from 7.30 to 8.30. This
is a very busy hour, for as many as
21:fellows can be seen wrestling at
one time, and taking instructions
from H. I. Smith. At Philadelphia
last week, Mr. Smith took four les
sons from Herrmann, and learned
many new and valuable points for

the benefits of our wrestlers.
The small number of candidates
for the lightweights and heavy
weight shows that there are gbod
chances there for more men. There
are many good fellows of those
classes in college who ought to come
out, not only to learn more about
wrestling and try for the team, but
to help the others as well.
Manager Woodward has been in
formed that Lafayette is to organ
ize a team, and prospects are bright
for teams from other colleges.
Bucknell's athletic committee, which
comes here- soon, will probably
make arrangements for a meeting
with their team. Plans are now be
ing made for a meet here this spring
between two teams chosen from our
present candidates, and, without
doubt, it will prove quite popular
and interesting.
President Weigle wishes to an
nounce that the squad will be photo
graped in the Armory on Thursday
night. .
