The 145 pound bout was held
first since Cal uthris, Columbia,
wrestled in two weights. In him
Shollenbeigei met one of the be't
op the team and a last bout was the
result After several seconds of
,fast wolk on then feet the men took
to the riwt ':•l , oll,"helger ga;ne‘el

He then got a bad hold on Shollen
berger, which, however, "Sholly', I
succeeded In bi caking. He then
took the aggiessive and by a quick
move, gained a goad hold.
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. 'fins %%as followed
by another pelted on then feet, and
another, sir ug , fle rat the floof,'with

throughout the Lout, and finally ob

though Hayman budged well he
could not break the hold, and the
fall went to Neidig in 5 minutes 15
s'concls This makes N,eidig's
tnud stiaight tall lot us this year,
and iris stirely a case where we can
congratulate ouisek es on having so
consistant a point winner.
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

many applications have been re
ceived for specifications of road rol
lers and the like. Dean Jackson

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.

BASKETBALL REVIEW
Penn Statc Closgs a Most Successfui
Season, Winning Niue Out of
Thirteen Games. "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:

Penn State 22 U of Penna. 30 Philadelphia

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
