Penn State VOLUME 10 NUMBER 23 WRESTLERS STILL UNBEATEN Indiana University Defeated in Best Match of Season—Large Crowd Turns Out. With the armory packed to its full capacity our grapplers took the hardest meet of the season last Sat urday night when they defeated the strong Indiana University team. The visitors came here direct from Cornell where they had wiestled on the previous night and on this ac count deserve great credit for the hard battle they gave our men. In every case the bout was well fought, showing that their enviable reputation in the middle west is well merited. The fact that two draws and two decisions resulted from seven bouts was due to a measure to the differ ent styles of wrestling employed by the teams rather than to lack of aggressiveness on the part of either. Indiana was at her best while standing which is not true of our men as was shown in every in stance when our man got his op ponent to the mat early in the match. The meet opened by a fruitless nine minutes of clever wrestling be tween Thompson, of Indiana) and Long, of State. In the extra three minutes required Long was award ed the decision on aggressiveness. The 125 pound bout was still more evenly fought and after two extra periods the judges were unable to - decision! Klingensmithfwas' the aggressor during the latter part of the contest but during the early few minutes Williams had his man at his mercy on a dangerous body hold. The following bout between Kirk and Myers, of Indiana, also requir ed an extra session. Both men did most of the work from their feet, Indiana showing somewhat to the advantage. In the final three min utes, however, Kirk got his man to the-mat and won a clean decision. Hill got the first fall or the even ing in 4 minutes and 44 seconds on a half Nelson and body hold. Two falls followed immediately by Yerger and Sayre. Yerger found Demmon a hard proposition. Three minutes were called for. Early in this period Yerger cleverly encased his man in a crotch and wrist lock and got the prettiest fall of the evening. Sayre got a well deserved fall in the quickest time of the evening on a half Nelson and body hold. Our man forced the bout and ended it by lifting his opponent from the mat and throwing him into the hold that settled the bout. Lamb was unable, for the first time this season, to defeat his man Davis was indeed a man of worth and after the extra time required the judges decided that no decision could be given. The greater part of the time was spent on their feet. Lamb was the aggressor during the greater part of the time but this was offset largely by the speed and science of his heavy opponent. 115 pound class—Long, of Penn State, won decision over Thomp son. Time, 12 minutes. 125 pound class —Draw between Williams, of Indiana, and Klingen smith, of Penn State. 135 pound class—Kirk won de cision over Myers, of Indiana. Time 12 minutes.

( Introducing the latest (Penn State songs and various specialties in cluding a new blackface sketch by “Mose” and “Porky.”; varsity quartette, Fisher T 5, ‘as “Prof.” Saurhoff T 7, as "Button”, Freeman T 4 as , The basketball season came to a close last week when our team met their second defeat from the hands of their old rivals, the W. and J. * team. This was the ending of our first year in the league organization and in reviewing the season it is reasonable to say that it was a suc cessful one. From the first Coach Harlow was handicapped by a lack of good new material and this condition remained throughout the season yet in spite of this fact a team was moulded from the remnants of the former team and second string men that compared very favorably with the best in the league. Eight victories and four defeats is the record of the season. In ad dition to this it might be noted that the fast Swarthmore team met defeat at the hands of our men on their own floor and the intercol legiate champions of the south suf fered a like fate. These results go to show that the team was, on the whole, a good one. A factor that largely entered into the season’s success was the coach. Haddow showed himself the man for the job from the minute he took the team in charge and its final development was a product of his hands. As a Manager Flagg showed equal capability.

PRICE FIVE CENTS LAST WRESTLING MEET Athletic Relations Will be Opened With Lafayette on Friday Even ing—Blue and White Hope to Maintain Clean Record, It nas been several years since Lafayette College had a place on any Penn State schedule. This year contracts have been signed for contests between the Blue and White and the Eastonians in three branches of sports, namely, foot ball, baseball, and wrestling. Thus it happens that tne Penn State mat men will have the distinction of formally opening athletic relations between these two institutions. For this reason itself, Penn State will do her best to win Friday even ing’s contest. At the same time, the Blue and White are anxious to maintain the wonderful record they have established thus far. It is interesting to note that but one fall and one decision has been gained against the locals in the four meets this season. The honor of gaining those points goes to the Navy in the first meet of the Blue and White team for this season. It is also, worthy of note that this same team of Uncle Sam’s mid shipmen his decisively defeated every other opponent this year, among the defeated being Cornell, Lehigh, Pennsylvania and Prince ton. In the three home meets, Penn State has not lost even one decision. Lehigh and Indiana, both of whom Cornell gave a bard fight for victory. 'failecTtiTget more ttiurf two draws each, while Pittsburg failed to gain a point. It is true that Lafayette has. not the prestige in wrestling back of her that the local team en joys, but you can never tell in this game of catch-as-catch-can. Penn State will try hard to finish the home season without losing a decision. Since this is the last meet,in fact, the last indoor intercollegiate athlet ic contest of the season and due to the fact that the student body has so well supported the previous meets, the management has decid ed to make this bargainSday. No general admission tickets will be sold but all reserved seat tickets will be sold at 25 cents each. First come first served. The tick ets will be on sale at the toggery shop on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and on Friday afternoon up until 7 p. m. “Pop” Golden will again referee. Remember that Penn State has a record made that she wants to maintain. Lafayette made a good showing against Princeton in her last meet. Time has elapsed suf ficient in amount since then for them to correct the weak places in their team. Remember it’s bargain day. New Edition Prof. Moyer’s Book, A new edition of Professor J. A.
