Blue and White Matmen Triumph In Annual Tournament For Second Consecutive Year CAPTAIN BROWN AND MOWRER GAIN TITLES Lehigh Team With Three Individual Champions Is Close Second To Coach Yergees Men---Cornell Easily Wins Third Place For the second consecutive year, the Penn State wrestlers won the championship of the Inter collegiate Wrestling Association. While the score this year was not as large for the Blue and White as it was last year, nevertheless, with every man except ono placing in the finals, enough points were regis tered to give the title to the 'varsity matmen. The Penn State team has been in only two championship tournaments so far, and the calibre of the teams turned out by Coach Yerger may be judged from the fact that they have come out on top both times. The results of the meet were pretty much as expected. The competition for the title was be tween Penn State and Lehigh at every turn of the game, while Cornell was the "dark horse" of the match. Penn and Columbia, as had been expected, failed to put up much of a fight. Lehigh's team was in ex ceptionally good physical condition and every Brown and White man put up a hard battle to win his bout. However, Coach Yerger had also developed a fighting set of wrestlers and they showed just a little more strength and endurance than their Lehigh opponents by winning out for second and third places where they failed to come through for firsts. The intercollegiates this year were held on the Armory mats and took place last Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. The preliminaries andsemi-finals were run off on Friday while the finals and the contests for second and third places occurred on Saturday. Although Lehigh was successful in having champions in three classes, and although Cornell took two more, the rerrlining two going to the Blue and White team, the latter were however able to place men in virtually every other class. As a result, Penn State won second place in. three bouts and third place in another, so that the final score for the 'varsity - teant....Wits22 points. -Lehigh came st - condAvith 20,`Coinell third withlB; Penn - fourth with 8, and\ Columbia finished last with 7 points to her credit. As each fall in the preliminaries and semi-finals counted one point for the team making it, the score at the beginning of the finals on Saturday afternoon was as follows: Penn State 4; Lehigh 4; Cornell 2; Columbia 2; and Penn 0. The remaining Penn State points were secured in the following manner: two decisions for first place in the finals, 8 points; a fall, a defaulted bout, and a decision, all for second place, 8 points; and one victory for third place resulting from two falls, 3 points. Total score, 23. The intercollegiate champ, compared with six last year.

Scrimmage has been held every evening between en at earl< and defense of picked men, and the pmcilce hna gradually become harder than It was at the beginning of the week. Several new men have shown up very well and the older men are rapidly regaining their former Mee The men have been practicing hard for the game ageinat the Navy at An napolis on Saturday. The Navy lies another strong team this year and the Penn State men will have to put forth their best effort. In order to defeat them. This will be the Blue and White'a first lacrosse game for four years and much 0111 depend on the spirit and mettle shown by the men. The men have become more proficient In palming and catching the ball, and the practices hove been held with a more open type of Held work, which le %cry eafential.

TWELVE STODENTS ELL RITE SCARLET FEVER At the present time ,there are about twelve stodents 111 with scarlet fever, seven of whom are confined to the Isa• lotion Hospital. while the remainder are being taken care of In the teem There are also several other students who are under observation.

These are a hlgh fever, our. throat and a general aching of the body .ionship team this year has only two Penn State wrestlers upon it, as e two bouts were won by Captain Brown, in the 158-pound class, who owrer, in the 145-pound class. In the preliminaries, Captain Brown n, in a little over thirteen minutes, and in the semi-finals he gained after fifteen minutes of hard wrestling. In the finals he had little Columbia, on decision, in a fifteen minute bout. Mowrer also wrest led in the preliminaries and the semi-finals. In the former, he threw Loeser, of Lehigh, and in the latter, he was also successful in gaining a fall over Armstrong, of Penn. Barrish, of Columbia, was his op ponent in the finals, and the Penn State star had the advantage throughout the bout; easily winning on decision. Princeton Falls To Appear Princeton again failed to enter a team, and so there were only five teams who engaged in the meet. For some reason, Princeton did not enter a team last year, when the Penn State wrestlers won in every event except the 125-pound class, this bout being defaulted, on acount of injuries to Detar, who was practically sure of winning out. It is interesting to compare last year's score with that of this year. Then the Penn State team came through with six champions, but with no second or third places. The point score last year was: Penn State 34; Cornell 17; Lehigh 17; Penn 7; and Columbia 2. The New Team The line-up of the new intercollegiate championship wrestling team is quite different from what it was last year. The only cham pions called upon to defend their titles this year were Captain Brown, of Penn State, and Captain Bevier, of Lehigh. This each successfully did, the latter throwing Howell, of Cornell, in the preliminaries, and Lee, of Columbia, in the semi-finale The Bronn and White star won in the finals by default, an Babcock, of Penn State, who Wan to go against him, wan injured and thetefore unable to wrestle. In the 115-pound clean, Ackerly, of Cornell, was nuccessful in defeating all lilt opponents and thereby non the title Tho other Cornell championship NVIIS in the 135-pound class, Whore Conroy came out victor in every content. The 145-pound bout wont to Penn Mate, an did the 155-pound bout Tim 175 and heavyweight classy: were non respectively by Manley and Booth, bdh of Lehigh. Babcock InJurod In Prelims Babcock, the Penn State 126-pound wrestler. was injured In his bout with Captain Rhoades. of Penn. in the preliminaries on Priday night. Tho Blue and White star had won a decision over the Ponn man and ho drew n bye ' In the aomi-ilnals, so that his next uppewance would have been with Captain Baylor on Saturday afternoon for the championship However, it was found that he had broken several ribs and would ho unablo to compote.
