VOLUME 7 NUMBER 15
THE WRESTLING MEET
Lehigh University Will he State's
First Opponent in th'e Armory on
Saturday Evening, Februrry 11.
All the fellows in State remem
ber what a wondeiful wrestling
team was developed here last yeas
and how two of the best Univer
skies in the East weie met and how
the Univeisity of Pennsyhania was
defeated by the decisive score of
7to 0. The split that was shown
at that meet is the spirit that must
be shown this year that wrestling
may by fumly established as a form
of Penn State athletics.' Last yeas
the wrestling team schedule did not
include, such teams as Lehigh,
Columbia, Ya'e and Cornell and
that co'leges of this calibre be met
it necessitates that'evel y man in col
lege give his loyal suppoit to the
team,so that wrestling will no longer
be an experiment here but a fix
ture.
The fiist of the meets will be held
on Saturday night, Febitrary 11
with Lehigh. It will take place in
the Armoiy and these will be ar
rangements made that every man in
eollege will be in a position to see
the mats. There will be a seating
capacity of neatly four hundred
and in order to make wrestling a
sure thing for State in the future
there is not a man in out seventeen
hundred who should not be on band
to witness the sti uggle.
Manager Neidig has arranged a
schedule this year that any institu
tion might well feet proud of and
now it is up to the fellows to show
their appreciation and spirit by
turning out to masses and helping
the team along by their presence.
Wrestling at Lehigh needs finan
cial help about as badly as it does
at Penn State and in order to get
the Lehigh team up here on Feb
rum}, 11 it necessitates that we have
over one thousand fellows on hand
that this sport will not become one
of the past.
The Penn State team is in the
pink of condition mid every man
will be on the twining table before
the Gist meet that this superb con
dition may be ma'ntained
Now fellows Our schedule includ
es institutions' which are all much
larger than out own and with the
material at hand, which is' excep
tionally good, the team should give
more than a good account of itself.
We naturally expect every man on
a Penn State team to play the game
hard and play lot all that there is
in him. Is it no . , tight then that the
student body should give the team
all the support of which it is rapabl6
and show the fellows on the mats
that they are with them to the last
second of th..: last bout 7 Parallel
wait the immortal Words of Loud
Nelson that "England expects
every man to do his duty" so Penn
State expects e% eLy man to do his
duty Ibis duty now conies in
the form of loyalty to a team of
his Alma Mater. Loyalty brought
about through peisuaston is not
loyalty so now fello A 1..; let us respond
to the call in a tray never before
known at State and every man in
,college attend this Lehigh wies thug
meet
Don't forget the date t Saturday
evening, Febt wit y 11 in the Armory.
The tickets will hc• placed on sale
Ot the Co-np in the neat fume and
nonces will be posted. The prices
of admission will be only twenty
five and thirty fne cents accotchng

'lO, aimed at the college to take
charge of the indoor baseball
woik He has been retained as
head baseball coach and will be
here tinti . after Commencement,
the alum athletic committee
has also appointed him head foot
ball coach for next fall and a more
popular choice for both positions
could not have been made. Mc-
Cleary will hold regular Saturday
afternoon practices in the Armory
until the weather permits the dia
mond artists to work outside.
Every available bit of time during
the week will also be used by the
coaches for indoor baseball work
by the individual candidates.

a few days by "Burde" Cree, our
1908 baseball captain, who with
McCleary is also a California
Normal product, Alex Gray 'll
and "Dad" Engel 'l3 among others
are accused of the same thing.
With the hardest kind of a base
ball schedule ahead, Captain Kelly
is none too early in considering his
resources for the coming spring on
the diamond. Klepfer 'l2, Eber
lein 'l2, Blythe 'l2' Bien ,12 and
Haddow 'l3 besides the captain

represented the Blue and White on
the diamond for four years includ
ing his prep year.
Vorhis, catcher• Hirshman, first
base, McCleary and Leidick in the
outfield were all lost by graduation
last year and there'will te some hard
scrambling after positions this year.
Piolett 'll, pitcher,, and Manion 'l2,
catcher, ai e two strong varsity sub
st;tutes of last year now out for
berths while Caruthers, Minich,
Butz, Turnei,"Sheldon and other in
terclass league stars will be given a

known but the Collegian will get
some. "inside dope" later on as to
how the candidates are making
out.
Course in• Astronomy
A course in general astronomy is
scheduled tor this semester.
Inasmuch as a number of ques
tions have been asked concerning it,
it may be said that it will be given
as an extra to men outside of the
Liberal Arts courses in connection
with the required work in that
course provided sufficient men
register for it. Only the work of
ti igonometryand elementary physics
are required to understand the sub
ject, but it will be only appropriate
for members of the Senior Class.

show the arrangement of the faults
and folds in this area, and columnar
sections will show the thickness of
the various formations and rock
systems.
The completion of this folio will
contribute greatly to the,interest in
the geology of the region surround

great assistance in the teaching of
geology at this institution.
Some of the features of especial
interest which will be shown are

"THE CLIMATOLOGERS"
Thespiaus 1911 Production Written
Exclusively for This Organiza
lion by Mr. C. L. Downing.
"The Climatologers" is the title
of a two act musical diversion chosen
by the Thespians to be produced
this season. The Thespian com
mittee on shows has been working
diligently ever since the opening
of the school year reading over the
many shows that have been sub
mitted for their approval; and out
of the many submitted finally
chose the one above. "The Clima
tologers" is an original sketch writ
ten especially for the Thespians,
and comes from the pen of Mr. C.
L. Downing of mask and wig
fame, who has so successfully
coached the Thespians for the past
two seasons. The committee as
sures us, without the least hesita
tion that this years production will
eclipse both those of "King Popo
catterpillar VII" and "The Gay
Soubrette." The committe realizes
that in making the above statement
they are making a big prophecy,
for they all realize how near perfect
the last two productions of the
Thespians have been.
The first act of the show opens
up witti a house party in Bellefonte,
while the scenes of the second and
last acts are laid on the Pennsyl
vania ,State college campus during
Commencement week. This is the
first show with any local coloring
ever attempted by' the Thespians,
and we feel with the committee that
it'vv' ill be a' big success
Positions in the cast and chorus
are open to all members of the col
lege with the exception of the fresh
man class. The committee hnpes 'for
a large response from the students
when the trials are held.
There are eight members in the
cast as follows.
Dr. Know/little, professor of CH
matology at, State College. An ec
centric old widower, of a some
what flirting nature.
Bob Janney, a student at State,
with a rare ability of getting into
and out of trouble.
Mrs. Carolina Cutting, a wealthy
widow of Bellefonte, casting longing
eyes in Prof. Knowlittle's direction;
and with avowed intention of mar
rying her daughter to a nobleman.
Lord Archie Donothing, one of
Europe's decayed nobility, in love
with Mrs. Cutting's niece.
Tillie Tuttle, a boarding-house
keeper's daughter from State Col
lege; much given to slang; and a
fancy of Bob's freshman days.
Ephaniah Hibbs, a bashful
freshman having Tillie Tuttle as the
object of his admiration.
Maly Knowlittle, Pt of. Knowlit
tle's daughter, Somewhat excita
ble, but on the whole of that type
of peaceful and loving girls,
Dota, Mis, Cuttings niece, the
same type as Mary and in love with
Bob.
The above is a slight description
of the characters. Copies of
the show will be posted in conven
ient places within the next week or
two. Read up the character you
want to try for, them come out to
the trials and get it. There will
also be a beauty chorus of fourteen
in connection with this year's show.
There is a possibility that prelimi
nary trials for the chorus will be
held Friday and Saturday night of
this week

who took part in the "Gay Sou-
