THURSDAY, FEB. 29, 1912 Athletic Relations No more viv- With Bucknell id comparison University. could have been drawn in regard to college spirit and gentlemanly conduct, than that witnessed by Penn State’s basketball team on its trip last week, first at Bucknell, and then as the guests of Swarthmore and Lehigh. Immediately upon ar rival in Swarthmore and in South Bethlehem, the manager of the home team in each case did every thing in'his power to make this vis it of the Blue and White team as pleasant and entertaining as possi ble, and there was no let-up in courteous treatment as long as the team was in town. There could have been no better demonstration of good college spirit and of gen- tlemanly entertaining. As the other phase of the com parison, the reception at Lewisburg was to say the least, disconcerting at the very start of the game. Al though Bucknell’s team and man agement treated the team in a pleasant, square, manner, the spec tators took an entirely different stand. From, the very beginning of the play, hisses and derogatory exclamations accompanied the game and continued until it ended. The , game was hard fought, and rough, but no rougher than those at Swarthmore and South Bethlehem, and not in any way deserving of the abuse that was showered upon it by the students and towns-people of Lewisburg. As a result of the fast hard play, there were many technical fouls on both teams, and there was consequently not the slightest reason for the tumultuous riot that took place when Mauthe left the floor. The fouls charged against him, as in the cases of the other players, were the result only of the hard, fast playing. Finally, Bucknell’s chivalrous and honorable conduct caused the termination of the game a few min utes before the end of the second half. Captain Zehner of Bucknell, and Hartz of Penn State, in a rapid move to recover the ball, collided with such force that they both fell to the floor. Scenting a splendid opportunity, some member of the audience came out on the floor, and striking Hartz as he was rising, felled him with a hard blow on the head. As the rest of the friendly spectators swarmed out upon the floor, "Pop” Golden ordered our team to the dressing room, and the game was over. Manager Gordon was refused the guarantee, and no one approached our team afterwards with even a chance surmise as to whether we had enough money to leave town. As a result of this basketball game as but one of a series of un pleasant troubles with Bucknell Uni- versity, we suggest a cessation of all athletic relations with that institu- tion. No credit comes to us in case of a victory over Bucknell, and as the game is always embittered by the unsportsmanlike conduct of a majority of the members of that institution it would be better to con- fine our attentions to some clean, hard, fair playing prep school. And we ask that all athletic rela tions be discontinued until such time that Bucknell takes a decided stand, and places her standard of conduct at least on such a prep school basis. If, after that, the in stitution proves itself worthy of confidence, negotiations may be re opend for friendly athletic contests but until that time, all relations should cease. The Wrest- Following upon the ling Team, most successful foot- ball season that Penn State has ever experienced, the wrestling prospects' for 1912 have assumed very bright proportions as a result of the Yale meet. After the reverse incurred at Ithaca, the team more than redeemed itself by the great victory on Saturday night. The appreciation of the college is due, and is assuredly given every’ man on the team, and to the other members of the wrestling squad and the management which helped to make the team possible. But Jin assigning the credit fur a winning team, there cannot be too much given to our athletic director, Mr. Lewis. Ever since his arrival here in the fall ot 1909, “Ed” Lewis has labor ed continually for the success of wrestling as one of our minor sports. By encouraging men to come out for the team, by personal assistance to every man, and by his excellent coaching, he has maintain ed our wrestling squad upon a place of which we may well be proud. The victory over Yale is but one proof of his persistent work for the sport, and of his efficient system of coaching. When we extend con gratulations, therefore, to Captain Lesh, and to the members of his team, we wish to acknowledge and to praise the in\ aluable assistance of Coach Lewis. Straw Vote for President. In the mass meeting on the morn ing of February 21 the Civic Club took a straw vote for the President of the United States. The election showed a Republican strength of 228 as compared to 141 for the Democrats. But considering first and second choices together, it is rather surprising to find Woodrow Wilson leading with a total of 211, three ahead of Roosevelt who pol led 208. The Socialists were repre sented by two votes, while it is sad to note that only one Prohibition vote was cast, and that a second choice. We may be proud that Dr. Pond received six votes for first choice, PENN STATE COLLEGIAN The trig Li Sta.nda.rd.

It is with deep regret that we an nounce to our readers the death of Mr. William Thompson, of Lemont, which took place on Feb. 22. Mr. Thompson who was in New York City, and on the point of sail ing for Cuba, was so unfortunate as to become involved in a trolley col lision, while riding in an automobile. The effects of this serious accident caused his death. Mr. Thompson attended this in stitution for some time years ago. He had three sons and one daughter that were graduated from this col lege. He was President of The Thompson Land and Coal Co. of West Virginia, and he was an Elder in the Presbyterian church of Le mont. The death of Mr. Thompson, who has been a resident in this section -Eon ifested such an interest in this insti tution, was a keen shock to all who knew him. It is with the sentiment of all our readers, that we express to those of his family who survive him and to his relatives, the most heartfelt sympathy, and the con dolences of Penn State. The interment took place on Mon day afternoon at 2:30 at Lemont. Indoor Athletic Contest. The enthusiasm and interest in the Inter-school Athletic Contest as arranged by Director Lewis is sadly missing. The great cry of the age is that not enough attention is paid to the individual in connection with physical development. And yet, when a novel plan is suggested by which men can on two evenings of each week do something for their respective schools and at the same time enjoy the use of the gymnas ium, the general attitude is one of indifference. In addition to the great good that several hours in this way would do every man who en ters the contest, the plans, were it supported by track men, might also aid in developing much earlier a track team to 1 represent the college in the first meets in the spring. J. S. Ritchey, of ’OB, was at the college last Friday on his way home from the Philippines, where he has been engaged since gradu ation. ITe will accept a tempor ary position with the State High way Department, but may return to the Bureau of Lands work in the Islands in July.
