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,

Death of Mr. William Thompson.
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.
