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.

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.
In the last game between these
teams the freshmen lost by only a
few points. Since that time their

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

willing candidates work out every
afternoon under his diiection.

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.
Death of Alumnus
J. Luther Haehnlen, a graduate
of the class of 1899, was burned to
death in the recent fire of the Mis
souri Athletic Club, St. Louis. Mr.
Haehnlen was a very active alum
nus of the college and as an under
graduate was prominent in all stu
dent activities. He was a member
of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Mr. Haehnlen made quite a suc
cess of blast furnace work and until
shortly before his death was super
intendent of the Bi-Product Coke
Ovens, Woodward, Ala.
The ceremonies in connection
with the installation of the Local
Nehemiah Club into the National
Fraternity, Beta Samach, will be

nounced. The installation banquet
will be held in the Nittany Inn, Sat
urday night.
