Penn State VOLUME 10 NUMBER 21 PENN STATE WINS ANOTHER Lehigh Matmen Fight Hard But Lose Meet By One Sided Score. Three Falls and Two Decisions for Blue and White, In the third meet of the season the Penn State Wrestling team con tinued to prove that their victory over the otherwise unbeaten Navy team was not a flash in the pan by not allowing the Lehigh matmen even one decision. The best the visitors could do was to earn two draws, which gave them four points, the Blue and White getting a total of twenty-seven points. Notwithstanding the fact that the visitors lost by a big score they put up one of the hardest fights ever seen on the local mats. Four of the seven bouts went the lim it of twelve minutes, two for Penn State decisions and two for draws, while no extremely quick falls were recorded in the meet. In the bantam weight class Shoity Long met in Kirkhuff, one of the best bantam weights among this year’s crop of college wrest lets. The bout was the best of the evening and one of the best ever seen on the local mats. Both boys at one time or another scored near falls but at no time did either man remain under for any consider able length of time. At the end of nine minutes no decision could be given. Both scored near falls in the extra three minute period but neither could gain , enough advan tage to secure the decision. Crockett and Martin proved an other well matched pair, but did not put up as interesting a bout as the bantams because they wrestled from a stand nearly the whole time. In the extra three minutes Crockett assumed the aggressive and forced his man to the mat for a decision. In the light weight class Kirk again demonstrated his ability by showing strength, aggressiveness, and a knowledge of the game that could not be denied. Wills, for Lehigh, put up a wonderful de fense and withstood a great deal of punishment but was finally pinned to the mat. In the next class Hill and Woelfel were another evenly matched pair and although both fought hard, no decision could be given until the end of the extra three minute per iod, during which time the local man secured a near fall from a chancery hold just as time was called. Yerger was very aggressive in the 158 pound class. He brought his man to the mat by a flying tackle and was awarded a fall in the short est time of the meet. In the light heavyweight class Stecker did all the leading but could not gain enough advantage to obtain a decision over Bailey, of Lehigh, the bout being called a draw at the end of 12 minutes of wrestling from the standing position. In the heavyweight class Good was con siderably lighter than Lamb and was kept on the defensive from the start. The local man took his own time to secure the third fall of the meet. Summary: 115 pound class—Long, Penn State and Kirkhuff, Lehigh, wrest led 12 minutes to a draw. 125 pound class—Crockett, Penn State, won decision over Martin, Lehigh, in 12 minutes.

Finding a swimming pool impossible because of the cost, tne class voted to install an organ in the Auditorium. A con tract was signed last week with the Austin Company for a two manual instrument to be operated by electro-pneumatic action. The power will be supplied by motor to be placed in the basement of the building. The instrument will occupy a position on the rear wall, taking a space 23 feet wide, and extending from the ceiling down to nine feet above the stage. The console or key-board has a cable attachment, which makes it possible to have the oigan played from the middle or side of the stage, or from the oichestra in front of the stage. The pipes will be arranged on the wall in a decorative style, with the casing of oak to match the interior finish of the building. The rear wall of the Auditorium will act as a sounding-board and will give a full vo'ume of tone to the organ. The opening of the proscenium arch of the stage offers a full sweep for the volume of tone throughout the house. The con tract calls for the instrument to be ready by June Ist and it is planned to have a dedicatory concert in connection with- .the Commence ment proceedings. The class of 1914 has rendered a great service to the college by leaving behind this most useful as well as orna mental memorial. CALENDAR WnDNESDAY, MARCH <1 12:00 m. Toggery Shop.

GAME Wash-Jeff Has Defeated the Penn State Five Once —Help the Blue and White Turn the Tables Sat- urday Night. A critical point in Penn State basketball history will be reached Friday night, at seven o’clock when Captain Binders’ varsity meets the Washington and Jeffer son five in the sscond arid last local league game. The game, if won, will definitely assure Penn State’s hopes for its championship of the western division, as her representa tives have defeated , Pittsburgh twice, and have lost only one game. W. &J. earlier in the season, de feated the Blue and White at Wash ington. but in turn lost to Pitt. From this standing oftheteams.it is evident that Friday’s game will be no easy one, but the Penn State five are in the best of trim and will be sure to put up their best game. Every Penn State man should be in the armory next Friday night at seven o’clock. In the first place the Penn State varsity needs the presence of loyal supporters to help it win the western division champ ionship and insure it a chance to compete with the eastern and central winners for the state championship. In the second place, basketball is absolutely self supporting; if the Blue and White should win on Friday, the team will have to play one game, perhaps two games on a neutral flooi for the final championship. Tl-isf expense, as weil as that of the W. & J. game, must be met. As up to the pres ent time home games have been lather poorly attended, and as gate receipts have been correspondingly low, the necessity of a crowded armory for the final contest is obvious. Frankly speaking, the outlook for the team is promisng. Either Lehigh or Swarthmore will win the eastern championship, and Albright has already secured the honors in the central division. Penn State has defeated Swarthmore, and was barely beaten by Lehigh at the end of a hard trip, but has not rr.easuied strength with Albright. In a championship series the team should hold its own. Tickets for the game will be on sale at the Toggery Shop, begin ning Wednesday noon. Adequate seating facilities will be piovided in the armoiy. 1915 La Vie The 1915 La Vie will consist of a book similar in size to that of last year. The covei will be o: black morocco with a gilt panel on the left hand corner. Due to the growth of tne college and increase in the number of college activities the size of the volume will be some what increased over that of pte vious years. Color plates and in creased lecognition of cettain de partments are some of the features planned. Thespian Trip Changes. It is very probable that, due to cancellation of engagements in Johnstown and Altoona, the Thes pians will not stage their production in these cities. If no final agree ment can be made, the dates will be definitely cancelled, and the or ganization will substitute some other towns in westein Pennsyl vania. Collegian. MASS MEETING Important Matters Taken Up and Discussed. At the mass meeting held in the Old Chapel Thursday, February 26, several matteis which have been hanging over for the last month were brought up and discussed. No definite action could be taken since according to the constitution, amendments must be voted upon al least a week after they are propos ed. The matter of awarding the var sity “S” to wrestlers was discussed and a motion was made to amend the constitution whereby any man winning all his bouts in the regular scheduled meets, providing that there are at least four such meets a season, be awarded the vaisity “S”. The stipulation whereby the man is required to win all his bouts is made in order to compensate for the fact that we do not wrestle in the intercollegiates. This amend ment will be voted upon at the reg ular Wednesday morning mass meeting on March 11. As considerable discussion has arisen from time to time concerning just what the constitution says and what matters are goveined by it, it was suggested to revise and print it in booklet form for distribution among the student body. A com mittee was appointed to make such revisions and have it printed and distributed. A paper written by the graduate manager was read and discussed and a committee appointed to in vestigate and arrange the recom mendations set forth. Briefly they consisted of abolishing the piesent office of treasurer which it was shown, is not only unneccssaiy but, the way the system now works, proves to be unsatisfactory both financially and otheiwise. It also suggested a new method whereby assistant managers for varsity teams might be selected. As it is at the piesent time there is a lack of the number of assistant managers and it was suggested that the sopho mores be allowed to compete for positions as assistant managers, thiee of whom are selected at the end of their sophomore year and from these three the manager is selected while the other two form the senior returns committee who also take the trips with the team. A committee was also chosen to look into the mattei of awarding the varsity “S” to membeis of the track team. At the present time a man eithei breaking a State record ot scoiing ten points during the year in regular scheduled meets is awarded his letter and it was sug gested that this was somewhat easy and should be raised from ten points to that of thirteen. It was also suggested to allow some in signia to be worn only on the field by men paiticipating in regularly scheduled meets who had not yet won their letter. It seems at the present time that no insignia is awarded to members of the lacrosse, soccei and cross country teams and a committee was appointed to look into the matter and make a report at the next mass meeting. The self-government system of this college has attracted wide spread attention among students of other colleges. The latest request fot full information comes from the Univeisity of Illinois. PRICE FIVE CENTS PITTSBURGH WAS FAST Avalanche of Goals Clinched Game Early. Pitt Came Back In Second Half. State served up the Pitt game Friday night so quickly and com pletely that the Smoky City team was paralyzed during the first period On this occasion our team treated the bleachers to the best article of basketball seen here for some time. Neither team was counting on an easy victory as the previous game between the two institutions was hard fought and close contested throughout. State got away with an early start and the ball found its way through our basket ten times before the period ended. The guarding by our men was equally remark able, Not a single field goal was scored by Pitt during this time. In the final half Pitt employed different tactics and showed decid ed improvement. The game ended with the score 26 to 17 in our favor. 14 of the 17 points Pitt secured during this session Lineup: Penn S'"t= U. of P. f ( Healy) Straw f Graham (Hughes) c McCollough Lubic Ochsenherl Jester Hay(Metzgar) g Savery g Substitutions - Penn State; Metz gar for Hay, for Pittsbuigh, Healy for Straw, Hughes for Graham.

The Honeymoon, The Honeymoon, a performance given by the combined efforts of the Y. M. C. A. and the town Fire! mans’ Association, proved to be the best dramatic performance staged in State College for the past four years. The play was drama tized by Dr. Sparks, and in several instances humorous allusions were made to State College and its en vironments. The play was ex ceedingly well staged, and the pro duction, under the efficient man agement of Mr. Deering, was ad mirably acted. The play is supposed to repre sent the honeymoon of a newly married couple at State College, who have unfoitunately been sub jected to the visit of several inter ested relatives and friends. Some very amusing incidents occur, and finally the numerous guests depart and leave the two young people to themselves. The Auditorium was crowded and on account of the excellence of the perfoimance, it is to be hoped that it will be produced again in June. Hon. Clifford G. Roe Hon. Clifford G. Roe, of Chi cago, made a great impression up on his audiences last Sunday, both at chapel and at the evening Y. M. C. A. meeting. Mr. Roe is one of the foremost in the great anti-vice campaign which is being carried on in this country, and which already is making great progress. This was Mr. Roe's second visit to the college, and he was all the more welcome on that account. Engineers look out for the big engineering meeting March 26.
