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.

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.

high order and the contest was the
strongest one the league has ever
held here. The audience felt well
repaid for listening to the views
held by the orators and appreciated
the forceful way in which the
orations were delivered,

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.
Moyer’s book on Steam Turbines
has just been issued by John Wiley
& Sons. A new chapter on Recent
Developments in Steam Turbine
Engineering deals with “bleeder” or
“extration", mixed-pressure and
marine turbines and the latest
forms of reducing gears for marine
service. The section on the design
ing of reaction turbines has been
completely revised. New and
unique methods of applying the
low pressure steam turbine are fully
discussed.
