Penn State Refused Admission.
Penn State has made three appli
cations for admission to the Inter
collegiate Wrestling Association
and has three times been refused.
For the benefit of some who may
not knpw what' this Association is a
few statements are timely. The
members of the Association at
present are Columbia, Lehigh,
Princeton, Penn and Cornell. Yale,
Dartmouth,Brown and other promin
ent colleges maintain intercollegiate
wrestling teams but are not mem
bers of the Association.
The only activity of the I. W. A•
consists of an annual two day
tournament to decide the champion
ship. Contrary to popular belief
the dual meets between members of
the Association are not part' of the
requirements of membership.
The management of affairs of the
Association in , the hands of stu
dent managers of the teams.
Penh State's* first'two applications
were refused on the ground of lax
eligibility rules mid low' scholastic
requirement's, despite Pop Golden’s
efforts to' disprove. At the' meet
ing of the Association held in New
York City on'Clctober’ 19th', Gradu
ate Manager Smith! made another
effort to correct the false impres
sions of the. present members*
The members of the Association
were shown that the amount’ and
character of work required for ad
mission to. courses leading to the
degree of. B. S. and B. A. in Penn
State is almost identical with i that
required at the institutions repre
sented in the wrestling association.
The rigid scholastic requirements
of athletes,in .Oflr college were fully
explained.
Our eligibility rules were explain
ed, in detail and'as compared with
Cornell, Princeton and Penn the
only difference of importance was
the three year or freshman rule'
Another Special Feature
for Pennsylvania Day will be the opening of the new and natty
cafe in the Holmes building, opposite the Postoffice.
On that day its name will be announced and the winner or win
ners in the guessing contest provided with the Pastime admis
sions by Mr. Harry Leitzell
We Want at Least a Share
Good Food, Honest Service, Proper Courtesy
i In*, short, ,a square deal., Come, try us and satisfy yourselves
which rule Penn State does not
have nor does Columbia. Our in
formation on this point with regard
to Lehigh is not definite.
After matters of scholastic stand
ing and eligibility rules were ex
plained apparently to the satis
faction of all the members there re
mained a feeling that Penn State’s
ethics of sportsmanship were not
up to the standard. Mr. E. P. Kil
roe, graduate director of wrestling
at Columbia tried to show the
absurdity of any such Belief and
testified to the good treatment re
ceived b'y Columbia at our college.
Mr. Kilroe proposed that Penn
State be accepted in the Associa
tion for a year and the members
could then settle the question for
themselves by contact with our in
stitution. Mr. Kilroe further stated
that Ke could see no difference be
tween meeting Penn State in dual
meets and in intercollegiates.
After Graduate Manager Smith’s
withdrawal from the room a vote
was taken on Mr. Kilroe’s proposi
tion.
Two votes were cast for Penn
State) one against and Lehigh and
Princeton withheld votes for further
instructions froih their Associations,
On the final vote taken by mail
one week later the count stood two
for and three against, thereby re
jecting our apDlication—three votes
in favor, being necessary for admis
sion. On the mail vote Lehigh vot
ed for us according to a letter re
ceived by Manager Jarrett. One of
the original votes in our favor had
been reversed on the mail vote.,

The Wrestling Outlook.
Possibly never in' the history of
our college has Penn State had bet
ter prospects of a championship
wrestling team. Of the powerful
team of last year but two are lost,
namely, former Captain Lesh and
William Park. Captain Shollen
berger. Very, Lamb, Fulkman,
Karcher, Callender and Jones re
main of last year’s varsity team to
gether with a wealth of candidates
who, from present indications, will
give some of our regulars the hard
est kind of a fight to hold their var
sity berths.
In the 115 pound class Jones on
account of his varsity experience
has an advantage,but from the Work
of Miller and Williams, in their
recent interclass bout, one may
safely say that these two are dis
tinctly in the running.
| Callender, in the 125 pound class
is a man whose work.on the varsity
stamps him as a man hard to beat.
.However he will not be without rivals
Kirk in the interclass match show
ed class that cannot be overlooked
and the fact that the choice between
Kirk and Keller for that, weight was
extremely hard to, make bespeaks
of lively competiton for that event.
Mendenhall and Bennett will , also
prove strong competitors for that
weight.
The struggle between Karcher
and Fulkman, both varsity men
for the 135 pound class will be a
royal one. Last year it was almost
an even break with Fulkman a
slight favorite. Tliis year it will
doubtless be as keen. Both are
first raters. This class, with Frantz
and Goetz, also as competitors
should be one of the most bitterly
contended.
In the 145 pound class, Captain
Shollenberger stands in a rank by
himself. The undefeated captain
will experience strong competition
nevertheless. Hill, Grumbling, and
