Caruthers tied despalatnly ,to break loose, but in wun ' 'I he fall' went to Shollenheager by a hit and chancery hold in 3 minutes It was a very pretty bout, anti the tesult Was a favorable omen tot the contests that were to follow. In Norton, of , Columbia,' Glan ville, Penn State, met one of the best wrestleis on Columbia;s team. The two 115 pound men started the bout in a fast and aggressive man ner. l''ot 4 minutes they fought' on their feet, each exhibiting some very heady wrestling Then they wrestled on the mat for 2 minutes, '"Shorty" landing on top and taking the oftenshe.

In the 135 pound class Morrison, Penn State, wrestled Struthers, Co lumbia. Although the men started in a lively manner they were so evenly matched that neither could secure a hold For the full 9 min ute period the men kept to their feet, struggling all over the mat, and continually reachirig for an advan tage, but never succeeding in get ting a hold At the end of the period the judges declared the bout 'a thaw. Strasburger, Columbia, was Lesh's opponent in the heavy eight division Thel_ big men fought on their feet foi a hold during the first two minutes, when Lesh by a sud den movement threw Strasburger to the mat He quickly gained a chancery hold, and held it despite Stiasburg's struggles to break it. In the shot time of 3 minutes, 15 seconds, our last year's standby gained this fall, showing that he has not forgotten how to "come back." Struthers and Morrison, on their second trial started in with great en ergy Struthers speedily gained a dangerous hold, which ; Morrison. broke ih one of the finest defensive exhibitions of the evening. He then went on top and worked hard to ga a hold' His exertions were stopped by the time limit, and the judges decided that the men should wrestle another 3 minute bout. In the heavyweight class.' Mc- Vean, Penn State, and Bertram, Co lumbia, were the opponents. The bout started in a lively manner but became sloWei as time pi - ogressed, McVean had a decided advantage in strength but was unable to secure a hold that was good for a fall. He threw Bertram to the mat ,, repeat edly, but missed his opportunities for getting a hold, and at such times allowed his opponent to take the, Offensive. Bertram, however, seem ed unable to do anything with him, and the end of the period found the men even. The judges therefore required another bout of 3 minutes to decide the match. Very met Caruthers in the 158 ' pound class, and the bout was un usually short. Very rushed his op ponent, and as they ' fell to the mat, gained, a chancery hold with bOfh arms fast Caruthers was unable to break the hold, and "Dex" won the fall in 40 seconds, In the 2 years that he has tepiesented , Venn State Very has never been thrown, and his good work on Satuiday prom ises a continued success for him in the game: The score at this stage of the meet stood 4-1 in our favor, and the men urged our two iemaning wrestlers to make it 6-1 Morrison and Struthers met for the third time and the bout was hard fought and fast: Morrison appearcl to be mote aggressive dur ing the peilocl, but was still unable to throw his man. Time was called while they were still wrestling vigor ously, The judges decided that the men had been tired out long enough,' but they could make no distincticin between them, and the bout was, declared a chaw: Mbirison deserves! great credit for his game and heady wrestling in all thiee bouts. The last match of the meet was between McVean and Bertram The 3 minute period was passed STATE COLLEGE, PA., MARCH 9, 1911 ' with the men on their feet parc tically all of the time. McVeah again demonstrated superior strength and aggressiveness, but could not secure a hold. Since the judges decided that the bout was also a draw, the final score stood 4-1 - in our favor, with 2 draws. The result was highly satisfactory to the men of Penn State, and our thanks are extended to the team which carried our colors to victory over Columbia. After the meet the Y. M. C. A. gave a reception and luncheon at which the men of both teams met Mr. Gra ham Taylor, Dr. Sparks, and his party. The Columbia team expre ssed themselves as well pleased by their visit 'and the treatment they received. CALENDAR THURSDAY, MARCH 9. 6:30 p. m. Old Chapel. Meeting of Penn State Tennis Club.

Dean John Price .Jackson has charge of the train which is being run under the super vision of the College in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Railroad Several lectures are given each day and the people are cooperating with those in charge with the result that many applications have been re ceived for specifications of road rol lers and the like. Dean Jackson was here at college a few days last week, Colonel Woodward taking charge af .the train. THE PENN RELAYS Relay Races to be Bigger, More Im portant, and More Interesting Than Ever Pennsylvania's relay races prom ise to be even more important and mole interesting then ever before. , Practically all of the big colleges, such as Harvard, Michigan, Chica go, Princeton, Columbia, etc., have already 'sent word that they will have teams in the meet. This guar , antees a repetition of the magnifi cent racing that has made the Re ' lays a synonym for all that is high est class in tack and field sport. Chicago will bring o . such a won derful runner - as Davenport, who won both the quarter and half-mile Western College championships last June in 48 4-5 seconds and 1 I minute 56 3-5 seconds respectively. Michigan will send on Craig, who won the 220-yard Intercollegiate Championship, equalling the world's record ,of 21 .1-5 seconds. Foster, the Harvard captain, the Sprinting Champion of 1909, will also run in the sprints. Burdick; of Pennsyl vania, the Eastern Intercollegiate Champion, will meet French, of Kansas, the Western ,Champion, in the high jump. Chisholm, of Yale, the Eastern High Hurdle Champion, will meet Edwards, the Western ,'Champion. And so it will be in all the special events, namely, the 100 yards, 120-yard high hurdle, shot, hammer, dik.ns, broad jump, high jump, and pole vault. The college relay championships I will, as usual. brine, together the , fastest teams of the year. The sue , cess of Harvard' and Cornell this winter, together with the fast ran fling of the Western teams in recent Western sports, guarantee that Pennsylvania will have to do almost the impossible to retain the three championships she won last year. Cornell, Harvard, Chicago, Michi gan, Illinois, and Princeton are all out for one or other championship. In fact, 'Yale seems about the only one of the big colleges that has not at least one team up to champion ship calibre. At present writing (March 1.), nearly 200 school and college teams have entered, so it is a surity that April 29 will see more that 250 col lege and school teams in competi• tion. Many big things lack quality, but the work that has been done at the relays the past ten years, proves that these sports are not only the biggest of the year, but that they are also the best. Mercersburg Club Banquet On Saturday evening at 5.30 the members of the Mercersburg club will hold a banquet at the Blue Goose in honor of Dr. Irvine. head master of Mercersburg academy. Dr. Sparks, and Mr. Vincent, of Chicago, will be guests. Eve' y member is earnestly urged to be present in order that the affair may be a success. State Men Visiting Hampton J E Watson 'll, J. W.

"Jack" Had dow, a Popular Choice for Leader of Next Year's Team. Captain Frank Blythe 'l2 goes down in Blue-and-White athletic history as the leader of the fore most basketball five of a decade at Penn State. During the past ten years only two of our fives have won a bigger percentage of their games, irt 1902 captain Ruble's team won 8 out of 10 games and in 'OO "Chief" Waha's five was. vic torious in 10 out of 14 contests. In 1902 Penn was taken over easily by the local tossers while in 'O7 Waha led his men to notable victories over Swarthmore (2), Fordham and Manhattan; yet neither of these fives played through such a strenu ous schedule as did captain Blythe's, and the ranking of our present five as the - best of a decade is based on the now completed 1910-'ll record: SCORE PLACE Penn State 41 Susquehanna 9 State College Penn State 22 U of Penna. 30 Philadelphia Penn State 37 Pratt Institute 18 Brooklyn Peen State IS Columbia 14 New York Penn State 19 West Point 21 West Point Penn State 19 Pitts Collegians 14 State College Penn St ite 50 Albright 9 State College Penn State 14 Gettysbulg lh State College Peon State 25 Swarthmore 37 Swarthmore Penn State 35 Susquehanna 21 Selinsgrove Penn State 76 Bucknell in Lewisburg Penn Mate 34 Lehigh 13 State College Penn Stsle 34 , Bucknell 16 State College Penn State scored 372 points; op ponents 232. State won 9 games; opponents 4. Not a*,game was 'lost at hom'e, while neatly 4fty percent of the contests abroad were Nittany vic ,tories—a ' splendid achievment, indeed when the great difference in .bask:tball floor is considered. It is almost certain that captain Blythe's clean-cut aggregation would have conquered Penn, ColUmbia, West Point and Swarthmore in the Arm ory for these fives had a hard time disposing of Penn State on their own floors. Our basketball five averaged 29 points per game dur ing the past season and too much credit cannot be given to the offense work of the varsity forwards, McEn tire 'll and Shore 'l3. "Baldy" Mc- Entire, the only 'varsity player to be lost by graduation from the five this year, won his "S" for the first time this winter, playing a brilliantly fast game in all of the 13 struggles. He came within an ace of getting his letter last winter and his making good in his Senior year . is another of the , numerous instances of the development of athletes after they artive at State College. Shore, his companion forward, played such re markable basketball against Col umbia, Bucknell and Lehigh that he is tanked as the most elusive for wai d seen here for half-a dozen sea sons.
