' Penn State VOLUME 10 NUMBER 24 WRESTLING SEA SON ENDS ' Lafayette Outclassed. State Shows Superior Science and Endurance Iu Every Bout. In the last meet of the season our wrestling team took the Lafayette team into camp in short time. The Eastonians lacked science in the wrestling art as this is the first sea son for wrestling at that institution and this factor must be considered in the results. On the other hand the * brilliant performance of our men on the whole stamps the team as one of the very best that we have ever had. Six falls and one decision are credited to us. The falls resulted ( in short time with our man the ag gressor from the start. The meet was opened by Sayre and Mummert of Lafayette in the 175 pound class, Sayre brought his man to the mat in the first few seconds but was unable to pin his shoulders to the mat in the remain ing time. The bout ended in a decision in our favor. The best bout of the evening fol lowed when Gardner and “Shorty” Long clashed. Gardner’s style of wrestling coupled with strength kept our man busy for the first few minutes. Both men broke bad holds and the aggresive could be accredited to neither until Long managed to work his man into a head scissors and wrist lock ending the bout. Time 6.37. Ciockett and McWilliams furn- ished a good bout. Both men ‘.'.ol'ked Well oil tiiei r' u: et. A*t e r a fast few minutes of foot work Crockett threw his man to the mat on a chancery. McWilliams broke free but was pinned fast on a bar lock and body roll. Time 5:35. Kirk floored Ellis in the follow- ing bout in short order This *lithe wrestler won by this bout the honor of being the first man to win the straight wrestling S granted by the new ruling. The defeat was accomplished by a chancery. Time 2.26. Smith of Lafayette furnished another good bout and eaily in the contest had our men next the mat. Hill secured an arm roll chang ing positions in a few seconds had his man bound up in a body and half nelson. Time 3:05. Yerger won his final bout of the season in the same manner as his previous ones. His strength and length of arms made Becher an easy victim to a far nelson and arm lock. This rangy representative promises to develop into one of the best wrestlers State has ever produced. Levi disposed of Mummert in 13 seconds using a chancery as the means. 115 pounds—Long threw Gard ner with a head scissores and wrist lock.

The final basketball game of the year will be played Saturday night at 7:30 when the sophomores and freshmen meet in the annual scrap game. It is a college custom that every man attend his class scrap and this game is no exception to the rule. The attendence at class scraps is just as much a custom as is the wearing of a green lid by freshman The game itself should be close and interesting. The sophomores bave been strengthened by the addition of men from the varsity squad. Their team will be McCoy, Beckett and Hofstetter, forwards, Bishop, center; and Boas, Davidson, and Cort guards.

Musical Combination, At a recent meeting of the exec utive committees of the Glee and Mandolin clubs it was decided to combine the two organizations under the title "The Penn State Glee and Mandolin Club”. The purpose of this is to give more adequate returns to those men who posses vocal as well as instrumental ability and make possible a more business like management of the combination under a constitution which will be drawn up. A number of mandolin men will be taken on the spring trip, which will probably include Renovo, Warres, Erie and Jamestown. Furthei plans are to be announced later. STATE COLLEGE, PA., MARCH 25, 1914 INSIGNIA RECOMMENDATIONS Insignia Committeee’s Recommen dations for Minor Sports. After a careful consideration of methods in vogue at Harvard, Yale, Piinceton, Pennsylvania, Colgate, Lehigh. Swarthrnore ar.d Cornell, the insignia committee have decid- ed upon the following recommenda tions: 1. That the insignia of the minor sport S shall be four and one foi rth by three one end fourth inches and three fourth of an inch thick. 2. That the smaller letters shall be placed one on each side of the letter S and be two by one and a half inches. I 3. That all minoi sports insignia shall be worn upon the left side of the sweater. 4. That all men who have play ed a full half in each six regularly scheduled LaCrosse games shall, with the approval of the Athletic committee, be awarded an 1 S t. 5. That all men who play the full time in three fouiths of the regularly scheduled soccer games shall, with the approval of the athletic committee, be awaided an a S t. 5. That all men who play the ful l time in four of the regularly scheduled soccer games shall, with the approval of the athletic com mittee be awarded an a S f. 6 That the first five State men to finish in the Intercollegiate cioss country championships of America shall, with the approval of the athletic committee be awarded a -C_S- <t~ —— - 7. That any man who finished 10 or better in the Intercollegiate cross country country champion ships of Ameiica shall, with the approval of the athletic committee be awarded a track S. 8. That all members of the football squad, who have taken two tiips and who in the opinion oi the committee are destnir.g shall be awarded an f S b. 9. That any man in collegiate track competition shall be piivileg ed to wear an a S a on his jersey while competing. 10. That any man, who shall have won ti\e points in legularly scheduled collegiate meets shall be entitled to wca: an a S a at all times subject to the approval of the athletic committee and unde: the conditions of all minor spoit insignia. The committee have er.deavoied to act impaitully, considering cus toms at other colleges and condi tions at State befoie leaching any conclusion. Nearly every college is making provision for football substitutes. In some places a letti r with a 2nd is awarded in othei institutions a letter with an A. A Since Harvard is likely to adopt an fb and because it is more dis tinctive of the sport the committee decided upon fust foi that icason and second to iemove confusion with a track aa, The aSa for track men has long been needed. When out team goes away and wins places with a mere blue jersey much valuable ad vertising is lost. By this ruling, the situation will be coirected. Upon fuither investigation the committee found that most institu tions gave an aSa to a contestant in the I. C. A. A. A. or to a single point winner in a dual meet. Be cause of this leniency the commit- Collegian. tec was disposed to make recom mendation number ten. In considering cross country it was found that the insignia was iather easily eained at most col leges. The committee believed, howevei, that the members of the team competing against the best colleges in the country were entitled to a cSa and that any man who fin ished tenth or better was well worthy of wealing a tiack S. In iegard to lacrosse and soccer the most stringent rules of any col lege were recommended because of the infancy of the two sports at State. Should time increase their standing, provision no doubt will be made as has been the case recently with wrestling. The aSf was awarded to the soc cer players in order to cause no confusion with the swimming team should tire si have been awarded. “Die Hochzeitsreise” Saturday evening the Deutscher Vcrein presented Die Hochzeits reise befoie a fairly large and ap preciative audience. As already stated in these columns, the sub stance of the plot is the conversion of a fossilized bookworm into a lov ing husband. The gentle tact of the new bride (Miss Meeieis T 4) succeeds quickly in winning over all hut the professoi’s old boot black (Mr. l’opky T 6). His aver sion to women in general is too deep-seated and with the aid of Guste’s (Miss Hauser T 5) indigna tion at the outrageous treatment of the young bride by the men, of Ed mund’s (Mr. von Unrich ’l7) *-ashfi’«l innocence and enthu siasm for things feminine, of the bridegroom’s (Mr. Olbrich T 5) awakening jealousy of Edmund, gives rise to much merriment. As a whole the players entered into their paits with zest and performed them with creditable skill. The audience was pleased and repeated laughter showed that the German jokes and funny situations were well understood. It was a happy innovation to have a “Pennsylvania Dutch Square Dance" between the acts. The dancers well earned a call before the curtain. The dancers were as follows' Misses M. C. Wilson, S. M. Neff, E. S. Williams, E. H. Ernst: Messrs. F. P. Schlatter, Paul Sny der, R S. Scull, V. G. Burns. St. Patrick’s Day Entertainment A laige number of students and townspeople were in attendance at the old chapel on the night of Maich 17, when the Liberal Arts Society gave a program entirely de voted to “Auld Erin”. Seveial favorite liish songs were sung in a delightful manner by Mrs. Wilbur Leitzell, after which a reading and interpretation of Moore's poems was given by Arthur Deering. Fol lowing a duet lendered by Miss L. Quinton ar.d Miss M. Galloway, the oiatiori of the evening was deliver ed by R. E. Geary T 6. A reading by Austin, "Mr. Dooley on the Grippe”, completed the program. Spring Football All candidates for the 1914 foot ball team should hand their names immediately to Manager Lord. Practice will start next week. Harlow is accomplishing much undei McAllister Hall. Fifteen willing candidates work out every afternoon under his diiection. Locke, Gonder, Herr and Teas aie showing the most piomisc. PRICE FIVE CENTS TRACK MEN STAR State Takes Three Firsts in Indoor Meet—Relay Team Ties Carlisle For Second Place Hnmble De- veloping Rapidly. Five State men won eight medals Saturday night in a meet at Pitts burgh given under the direction of the Pittsburgh Athletic club. The principal event of the even- ing was the event which was originally scheduled as a 1408 yard relay, was changed to a mile relay and each contestant compelled to run 88 yards more than the dis tance for which he was ttained. The entries in this event were Carlisle, Pittsburgh and State. Dolbin ran first for State and lost three yards to Birdwell of Pitts burg. Humble ran second. He soon caught Birdwell and by a magnificently timed burst of speed, finished with a ten yard lead. Mason, running third, held this lead. The la'st man was White. The Pitt and Carlisle men slowly closed in arid the final stretch found all three running shoulder to shoulder, the Pitt man being de clared the winner. Hamnitt continued his fine per formances by winning the 60 yard high hurdles in eight and one fifth seconds, equaling his old record. Humble started in the five hun dred and 28 yard race. The event was crowded and he was placed on the second row. He fought his way through the field and beat his nearest competitoTTo the tape by 10 to 12 yards in 1,10 1-5 seconds. Huumble has shown conclusively that he is one of the fastest quarter mile men in this district and should develop into a remarkable man be fore he graduates in 1917. In the 352 yard race Mason and Dolbin won their heats. In the final heat Mason had the outside position in which Dolbin finished first in 43 2-5 seconds and Mason third. The need of some insignia on men’s jerseys was illustated again on Saturday night. Five men occu pied the limelight in four events and only one man displayed any insignia. Considerable advertising was lost due to this fact. The men were the guests of the Pittsburgh athletic Club and were accorded the privileges of its large club house with its swimming pool The Pittsburgh Club could not have been finer hosts.
