ME 10 NUMBER 20
PITT WAS OUTCLASSED
'■e Matmen Win Eveiy
the First Home Meet of
Larnb Gets the
Quickest Fall.
The F' c and White matmen out-
cl:.. the team representing the
University of Pittsburg on Satur-
day eveni:"' in the opening meet of
the local stason by winning every
bout. visitors seemed fairly
strong in the light weights but were
completely overwhelmed in the
three upper weights. The crowd
was one of the largest that ever at
tended a Penn State meet, and was
augmented as well as variegated by
the presence of over one hundred
fair house party guests.
The first bout of the evening was
he most evenly matched and
spectacular one of the meet. The
visiting bantam had the better of
the argument for the first half of
the bout and only the wonderful
defense of Long saved him from
being thrown. He ’ve r show
ed an aptitude worthy one of more
experience for working as an under
man and finally took advantage of
an opening to secure a back
chancery and body lock which
resultes in a fall in 7 minu.es and
59 seconds.
The bouts in the 125, 135 and
145 pound classes respectively,
were somewhat similar. All were
hard fought. In each case the blue
and white man went to the mat on
failed to win a fall, the decision
could not be questioned. Hill had
a near fall, the call of time saving
his apponent from defeat in that
way.
Following these bouts the meet
was soon ended. Sayre, after los
ing a good half nelson used a
crotch and wrist lock and pinned
his man in one of the prettiest falls
of the meet in short order.
Yerger followed with even a
quicker fall from a standing position
over Nicholls in the 158 pound
class. He used a head lock that
showed a great exhibition of
strength. In the heavyweight class
Giffen who previusly had lost to
Sayre met Lamb. The meeting
was extremely short, for Lamb
took a front chancery that resulted
in a fall in 29 seconds.

Mr. Clifford G. Roe,
Mr- Clifford G. Roe will be the
Y. M. C. A. speaker here next Sun
day, giving addresses at both
chapel services and the 6:30 meet
ing, and speaking especially to the
townspeople at 3:00 in the after
noon. Mr. Roe is known all
over the country for the splendid
fight he is making against the
white slave traffic, and this much
agitated topic will be the theme of
his talk here. Pie is a graduate of
Michigan having received two de
grees from that university, was for
a time a junior member of a firm of
corporation lawyers in Chicago,and
later became assistant state’s at-
Clliroul G. Roe.
torney in the same city; and upon
the knowledge and statistics of the
traffic gained while fulfilling the
duties of this latter office, he bases
his great campaign against vice.
He was largely responsible for the
passage of stringent laws against
white slavery in Illinois and is in
favor of having similar measures
taken in all the states of the Union.
His energy, his enthusiasm, his
eloquence, and his earnestness have
brought him great crowds wher
ever he has spoken, and it is to be
hoped that no one will miss the
opportunity of hearing him next
Sunday.
Senior Meeting,
At a meeting of the senior elass
held recently the question of a
class memorial was definitely set
tled. The class will present a pipe
organ to the college, which will be
placed in the Auditorium. The
idea of starting a swimming pool
fund, to be contributed to by other
classes, has been abandoned as im
practicable.
A notewortny' action of the class
was the ratification of a custom pass
ed some time ago by the student
council forbidding freshmen to enter
or leave Main Building by the front
entrance. A similar ratification by
the Junior class will put this custom
in effect.
Excuses From Classes
According to Rule 5, College
Regulations affecting students, all
absences from class are to be dealt
with by instructors. Many stu
dents do not seem to understand
this and apply to some general
officer for a blanket excuse to
cover a period of absence. Instead,
whenever possible, the student
should go to each instructor before
he absents himself from class and
explain matters; or he should send
a card to each instructor affected;
or failing in both, he should see
each instructor after his absence.
The instructor has full power to
make any adjustment he sees fit.

The Lehigh game was a heart
breaker for the score was even for
thirty-five minutes of the game
when Lehigh scored four goals in
quick succession giving them too
big a lead to overcome. The fact
that our team had a hard game on
Friday night and then had to play
the Lehigh game the next after
noon made it necessary foi the
team to play without a sufficient
amount of rest. The game was
staged on a downtown dance floor
since the new Lehigh gym is not
yet open and the very slippery
floor was a decided hindrance to
team work of any soit. Lineup

The Public Ledger for February
15 contained an illustrated article
which deals at length with the ex
tension work which is being done
in Philadelphia hy the Y. M. C. A.
in cooperation with the Division of
Engineering Extension of the Penn
sylvania State College. The class
in shop mathematics at the factory
of the Tabor Manufacturing Com
pany is taken as an illustration of
the way in which the extension
work is cariied on. This class
meets twice a week from 4:30 to
5:30, half of this time coming out
of the working day, the other half,
out of the men’s own time. Some
idea of the need of this work may
be gained from the fact that about
570,000 of the 600,000 workers in
the city have never received a
grammat school education. The
work is meeting with great enthusi
asm from the men in the shops and
from their employers as well.
Do you realize the importance of
adequate fire protection ? Do you
realize that due to the lecent rapid
growth of State College the
equipment ol the local volunteer
fire depnrtmeut is fai fiom being
adequate ? Attend The Honey
moon, see a good show and at the
same time give the fire department
a financial boost.
An important mass meeting is to
be held in the near future. Every
man in college should atttend.
Watch for the announcement of
time and place.

NEW DEBATING ACTIVITY
Members of Teams Chosen - Con-
tests Assured With Swarthmore,
Dickinson, Pittsburgh, Probably
.Westminster,
Although Penn State is essential
ly a scientific school there are cer
tain of the academic or classical
courses —such as History, Political
Science, Foreign Languages and
English- which men in every
course must take These courses
are necessities for every colli ge
man who wishes to see things in
their broadest light. And in the
same way Penn State in her rela
tions with other colleges, must meet
them in as many lines of contest as
possible, so that the fame and
good name of our school may be
spread among these other colli ges
in other ways besides athletics.
One of the ways by which Penn
State can and is making her name
better known and lespected is by
our Debating Teams. Penn State
is one of four colleges who com
prise what is known as The Penn
sylvania fn'trcollegiate Debating
League, the othei three colleges
being Dickinson, Swarthmore and
Franklin and Marshall. 'I hese col
leges have ptoved themselves to be
formidable foes of Penn State in
baseball and basketball. But in
Dickinson and Swarthmore espe
cially the courses are more classical
than scientific and the students in
these schools consider the victory of
a debating team of equal impor
tance with victories in sports. So
it is essential that Penn State turn
out teams hete which shall be
worthy of her name.
This year more interest has been
shown in debating than ever before.
At the trials held in January thirty
one men turned out as candidates
for the team. This is as large a num
ber as turn out in our larger uni
versities, and from these thirty-one,
eight of the strongest debaters in
college have been chosen.
The reasons for this change is
that the increase in the student
body makes our interests more di
versified. Another is due to the
fact that a Debating Fraternity has
been organized to which only Inter
collegiate debaters are eligible.
Another is that it was promised that
a trip would probably be taken by
both teams. These trips have be
come a certainty. The affimative
team, composed of Cranston, Jones,
Skillman, and McCord, will debate
at Swarthmore on F’riday, March 6.
The negative team composed of
Carpenter, Geary, Lininger and Mc-
Kay will debate in the Auditorium
Friday, March 6 with Dickinson,
and either the same team or a team
to be chosen later will take a trip
to W. & J., Pittsburgh and possibly
Westminster duiing the latter part
of April. The anangements with
W. &J , Pitt have been completed
and it is expected that the West
minster date will be ratified soon.
Due to the large number of men
out at the trials this year the teams
are more representative than ever
before, and more is expected of
them then has been the case in the
past. But every team needs sup
port and an appeal is is here made
for eveiy loyal Penn State man to
come out on Friday, Maich 6, and
give the team that true support
which we are so proud to give to
every other Varsity sport.
