DOWNS CORNELL
Brilliant Wrestling Victory Closes
Successful Season.
PENN STATE TAKES FOUR BOUTS
Neidig Gains Only Fall—Morrison,
Very and Lesh Get Decisions.
Students Celebrate Last Victory
and Honor Team by Having Big
Bonfire.
In securing its fourth consecutive
victory in wrestling on Saturday
night, the Penn State team — ClO — sea a
season that has shed great honor
upon the athletics of the college.
The Cornell meet was the privotal
one of the season, since the Cornel
lian and White team won the inter
collegiate championship last year
and is expected to repeat this sea
son. The meet was one of the fast
est and hardest fought of our sched
ule, and is all the more decisive
since it was wrestled on Cornell's
own floor. Over a thousand inter
ested spectators were present, but
there was no cheering as they con
sider it untail to the wrestlers.' The
decisions were
_given according to
the length of time one man remain
ed on top during the bout; and the
strangle hold and full nelson were
barred although the harnmerlock
was allowed up to a right angle and
in a back twist. The Referee was
Lawrence Connelly of Boston, and
the Timekeepers were J., E.
Bennett, Cornell, and Knight, Penn
State.
"Shorty" Glanville, in the light
,weight class, faced Johnson, inter
collegiate champion, and the same
mm he wrestled in our preyious
Cornell meet three years ago. The
men were on their feet locked in
the referee's hold during all of the
bout except the last 15 seconds.
They struggled hard for holds and
swung all over the mat,and their work
was exactly even until the last 1.5
seconds. Then Johnson succeeded
in throwing Glanville to the mat and
holding him there until time was
called. On the strength of this
work he gained the decision; but
"Shbrty" certainly put up a splendid
fight against a man of so good a re
putation. He showed himself, as
in all the other meets of the season,
a fast, clean, strong wrestler.
J. T. Machat met Neidig in the
125 pound class, and the result was
the fastest and most exciting bout
of the meet. In 30 seconds Mac
hat threw Neidig to the mat, and
held him for a minute. Neidig
broke the hold, and some fast grap
pling resulted. Again Machat gain
ed the advantage, but as the five
minute period was called Neidig
rolled to the top and secured a leg
nelson This hold he held, al
though the men were on the very
edge of the mat, and he finally
gained the fall in 6 minutes 54 sec
onds. Too much praise cannot be
given "Bill" for the work he has
done this season. Four straight falls,
- and most of them from excellent
wrestlers, is a 'record_ that cannot be
beaten.
In the 135 pound class Morrison
Penn State wrestled E. A. Doll.
"Morry" was on the aggressive at
all times and rushed his. man pretty
hard, 1 hey rolled to the mat several
times, with Morrison on top. At
the end of 7 minutes he pinned
Doll to the mat and held him there
to the end, winning, by decision.
The bout was fought with Morri
son's usual strength and energy and
good head-work, and goes to his
record as another clear 1, ictory
Shollenberger, in the 145 pound
class, met Peake,' Cornell's captain
and intercollegiate champion The
men fought on their feet and then
gradually came to the mat in the
referee's lock Peake skillfully
worked himself around "Sholly",
and by a clever use of bars, held
him to the mat Although Shollen
berger was not at any time in dan
ger of being thrown, he was unable.
to rise from the mat and Peake was
given the decision. The bout, far
from being clismeditable to our
clever wiestler, was well deserving
of merit when we consider the ex
perience and capability of Cornell's
captain, and "Sholly", therefore can
lay claim to great credit for his
work.
Allen of Cornell was "Dex" '
Very's opponent in the 158 pound
class. The bout was the ioughest
of the meet, the men using ,their
hands and straight arms with effect.
Allen took the , chief part in the
rough work. ailing the first 5
minutes, when the men kept their
feet, "Dex" saved his sterig'th, and
worked carefully. Then he lifted
Allen by both legs and threw him to
the floor. As he rose Very kicked
his leg out from under him in the
sameorianner as he did against his
Columbia opponent, and fell upon
him. "Dex" used crotch holds
with good effect and had his man
in beverai oad places, but was un
able to secure a- fall. His victory
by decision„ was, the fourth con
secutive win of the season, and
marks him as a man of sure cham
pionship caliber, as 'Allen is ex
pected to win the championship
this year in the intercollegiates,
Lesh; Penn State, and Shaw of
Cornell wrestled the light heavy
weight bout For the first 5 min
utes Lesh worked easily, but on the
offensive, and then dived in and
securing both legs thiew Shaw
heavily to the mat. Shaw broke
the hold but 'Lesh remained on top
and kept his opponent pinned to the
floor by a cross face hold. He was
given the decision at the end of the'
bout. The match was easily his all
the way, and his victory swung the
meet over in our favor since it 'was
our fourth successful en'countei.
In the heavyweight division Mc-
Vean grappled, with Goff, a strong
210 pound wiestlei. After 3 min
utes of work on their feet,
Goff threw "Mac" to the mat. He
gained a hammerlbck and pinned
McVean's arm to the floor. Al-
though "Mac" could not break the
hold he refused to let himself be
rolled over, and Goff, to avoid
breaking the arm by further pres
sure, relinquished the hold. Goff
still remained on top and although j
McVean fought gamely to the end I
of the period he could not get on I
his feet, and Goff won the decision.
McVean fought hard,, and consider
ing his experience is to be con
gratulated on the showing he made.:
.The end of this bout fooncl .the
score 4-3 in our favor, with Neidtg:s
fall the only one that was gained.
The men were enthusiastic over'
the hospitable treatment given
them at Cornell. bverything pos
sible was 'done to gNo them a
pleasant visit Owing to the fact

BASEBALL TO
First Outdoor Practice Held on Sat-
urday —All of the 7etetans are
Rou,.ding Into Form and the New
Men are Showing Up Well.
Prospects are Exceptiqnally Bright
for a Fast Team
Wrestling and basketball for the
season of 1911 are now things of
the past and the baseball prospects
are taking up the almost undivided
attentions of the "stuces" here at
present. In a little over two weeks—
on Saturday, April 'l, to be exact—
the opening game of the baseball
season will be played with Belle
fonte Academy on Beaver Field.
Then follows a trip into the South
land from April 5 to 8 inclusive,
games with Virginia, Washington
and Lee ( two) and the Navy being
scheduled. During the Easter va
cation, April 13 to 19 inclusive,
six encounters will be had abroad'
Dartmouth, Manhattan, Brown,
Springfield Training School, St
Johns and Princeton being the op
ponents; the struggle's with the
Green at Atlantic City and , with
Princeton are regarded as of special
importance on this journey. The
month of April will be completed
with thr e games at home—Man
hattan, Dickinson and Seaton Hall.
Thus with ten contests abroad and
four on Beavcr field dining April,
the results of Captain Kelly's 1911
campaign depends mtic!^ upon the
outcome of these fourteen struggles.
For the first time this season
Coach McCleary had twenty-five
candidates working out of doors last
Saturday, on the slope south of the
Agricultural building and I,f weather

is especially fast and looks very
good while Johnson, of Uniontown
High Schoo:, is the other freshman
infield candidate now kept •on the
vaisity squad. Johnson is a big
190 pound first sacker and Craig is
a well put up shortstop whose play
ing thus far has exceeded all ex
pectations. Thus there: have been
seven pitchers, four catchers and ten
infielders, but only five outfielders
retained on McCleary's indoor
squad. This is partly due to the
fact that the outfielders , can in
dulge in• only batting work in the
Armory, while the infield candi
dates get excellent workouts tossing
the pill, around the bases, and their
fielding practice is really valuable.
Three "S" men—Wiirkmari 'll, for
two years left fielder, Carson 'l2,
for one season varsity right fielder,
are now candidates for the outer
gardens. Bubb is a product pf the
class organization and so is Ca
ruthers 'll, a left handed sticker
who has a strong, accurate arm and
knows the garne. The fifth out
field candidate is "Giant" Miller,
I the 135 pound freshman football
quarterback of last tall, who can
handle himself as well on the base
ball field as on the gridiron. There
aie less new men than usual who
' have made our squad this spiing,
but a splendid nucleus of seasoned
j playeis in the infield and outfield.
Both Coach McCleary and Captain
Kelly are confident that the battery
candidates will produce the goods
in no uncertain style, in which case
Old State will certainly have one of
the strongest teams in ow diamond
annals—which is saying a Meat

Lectures to Foresters.
A very interesting series of lect
ures is in progress before the For
esteis' Society at its regular meetings
every Tuesday night at 7 o'clock.
The subject under discussion is the
question of street and shade trees,
their enemines, and methods for
their protection. The first of, the
series was given 'on Feb. 28 by Prof.
Pillsbury on the subject "Street.and
Shade Trees." ' On Mar. 7, Prof.
McConnell spoke of the insects that
are injurious to these trees, and the
methods for protecting the trees
against them. Mr. Macfarland, 'll,
spoke onlMar.l4, of the way in which
shade trees should be cared for,
their pruning, etc. The final talk
of the series is to be given by Prof.
Fulton on Mar. 21. His subject will
be "Fungous Diseases of Trees."
All of the talks given thus far have
been deeply instructive and very in
tel esting, and the Forestry Society
has been present in large numbers
to hear them. All who are interested
in this subject are welcome to at ,
tend the meetings still to be held.
Free Lecture Course.
The lecture next Saturday even
ing will be on "Recent Astronomical
Photography with the Sixty-inch
Reflector of the Mt. Wilson Observ
atory" by Professor George W.
Ritchey of Pasadena California, and
a member of the staff of the Carne
gie Institute of Washington. The
lecture is richly illustrated and
describes briefly the construction of
this telescope in the shops, including
the grinding and polishing of the
glasses; the transportation of the
telescope and its dome to the
summit of Mt. Wilson and their
erection there; the use of the tele
scope in astronomical photography;
and the series, of remarkable celes
