Blue and, White overwhelmed Plaid '

this year, winning by a 6 to 1 score
The Carnegie Tech boxers, while not
displaying any sensational ring work,
were nevertheless an aggregation of
,good fighters but Penn State outclassed
I them in every bout fought and accord
' ingly won the meet.
- The Nittany men won their bouts
in the 115, 125, 145, 160 and 175 pound
'classes, the other two weights on the
card being divided between the two
teams. In the 135 pound division the
Tech man fighting at that weight was
given a decision over Cooper bemuse
of a foul while the remaining division,
the heavyweight class, was forfeited
to Penn State due to the fact that the
Skibos did-not have a man to 1711 the

, Clark Wins Opener -
The first bout on:the card wasin
the 175 pound class with Clark of Penn
State lacing McCarty of Carnegie Tech.
When the bell rang for the round, both
boxers advanced with caution in an ef
fort to sound out each other's ability.
There were several exchanges of blows
but the bout looked no if it was ,des
tined to be a slow, one until Clark,
feinting with his left, landed a smashing
right to McCarty's jaw. The big Tar
tan' staggered from the blow and fell
to_the floor, at the mine time hitting his
head with a thump that could be clear
ly heard over the entire building. Mc-
Carty got to his feet at the count of
nine but he was.in too dazed n condi

Frequent Rehearsals Being Held—

Augmented by about twenty-five

'women, the, entire membership. 01l the

past week - been_ concentrating all 'lie
efforts and untill9lng all available spare
time In work on the musical comedy
a Mob It will present In the Auditorium
on February 18th and 19th. Just' an
soon as Mr. E. CI Moyer, Director of
the "Jollies" hopped off the bee at Co-op
Corner last Thursday,,everybody_ con
nected with the production seemed to
swing into a rapid stride—rehearsals
were held and tickets began to,aell
an unexpected - impetus. oEachonight
rehearsals lasting three-or lour hours
are taking place in. Room 100, Hort!,
cultural Building., Here the candidates
for the cast, are becoming - -thoroughly
familiar - with. the. music,dancing - and
libretto of , the comedy:
All the music used in the play, with
the exception of the opening chorus and
one or two ather numbers, was written
by Mr. Joe Bren Mr. Bren is.a com
poser of considerable note, having writ
ten the music for many of the best
musical comedies that have been pro
duced In recent years Fifteen Bummers
ago he wrote one of 'the first ragtime
pieces that over made a hit—"l Don't
Know Where I'm Going, But I'm On
My Way." Director Moyer originated
all the dance steps and wrote a con
sideralile portion of the libretto. Mr.
Caputo's song "My Georgian Race"
wilt also be featured In the play When
Mr. Moyer first heard this song he
expressed the opinion that it Is one of
the prattle/ft waltz ballads of present
day popular MUSIC The -majority of
the musical numbers are rapid ,and
oatchy, tunes, inter-woven however by
a number of waltz „selections of a more
dreamy and rhythmic nature.
The-minstrel part of the production
promises to be unique. Instead oh the
old cut and dried system that is gen
erally used, where a few solelats sing
ballads and the rest of the cost sit
around and look pleasant, a new system
will be used, whereby every member of
the minstrel cast will be doing some
thing to' amuse the audience every
second of the play.
The pirector has been delighted with
the ability which the chorus has been
showing in the dancing.' One of the
features of the dancing part' of the
program will be a solo which "will be
rendered by Miss Ruby White.'

Me Stevenson Is taking the Forestay
Course,-Intact' as it stands with but
one exception. In place of a foreign
language he Is taking, as an elective,
Phyolee which Is a second year subject.
Due to the fact 'thata foreign WWI
- has mans 'strange sounds' which
he has never 'heard, it would be im
practical to attempt to learn it-and
it has been replaced by' electives which
in many cases the work Is harder than
ordinary. Stevenson is the airst ,deat
student to attempt to take a regular
course at Penn- , State and his auccese
thus far goon to prove the old'sayiag,
'Where there is a will there Is a way."
Such achievements by a deaf student
reflect upon those more fortunate
students who can hear but are unable
to rues the week satisfactorily.
,Mr. Stevenson became deaf alter a
severe illness while a Freshman In High
Schtiol. After losing hie hearing he
attended the Philadelphia Institute for
Deaf for one year, after which he re
turned to Bellevue High School, com
pleted the remaining three years of his
comma and was graduated last June.
He came - to Peon State .strongly rec

were -justified in accepting` him as a

misunderstands, pad many students will
not believe that ho cannot hear when
lueesplaine thin to them. If a student
with an unlighted cigarette in his
mouth comae and ways something to
him, he hands out a match and the
student sees nothing mammal. Howev
er such things , do not work all the time
and Stevenson gets into many odd pre

encountered the hardest opposition
that it has met with so far this year.
The first gume of the trip brought
the Nittany tossers face to face with
the five representing the Pitt Panther,
the traditional enemies of the Nittany
Lion The teams were heralded as be
ing evenly matched and the - results of
the game showed that a teriffic tattle
was needed to prove the superiority
of the Blue and White Memel,: Penn

the contest and held It at the close

game safely away for the Egan and
White followers In the second half the
Plaices attempted a come-back and
tried to reach the Nittany score but
a volley of field goals from the Blue

Penn State locker. Wolfe played a
wonderful game against the Panther
and besides tossing five field• goals
through
,the basket thereby giving the
Nittany aggregation its much needed
points, he caged 11 out of 19 fouls
The whole team played well and all
shared in the scoring except Ritner,

sible selections for the team From

the irehpective strengths of •the two
teams may" be lodged. , this being the.

to "take home the bacon" The Beth
lehem team will come to Penn State
with a feather in its cap In the form of
a victory achieved over West Virginia
several weeks ago by a score of 21-8
That wrestling still holds the strong
est attraction as a winter sport at
Penn Slate was conclusively shown dar
e 'leg the trials, when no less than forty
nine candidates tried out for places on
the team In every class but the
heavyweight, there were at least seven
members of the squad who fought for
varsity bertha. and those who will con
stitute the final selections will have had
no easy task in eliminating their oli
ponents The bouts throughout were
well fought and were featured by eon
eral upsets in the current "dope" re
garding probable winners
In all but two weights, the semi-final'
bouts store completed last Saturday af
ternoon, while the final bouts will
close tonight, giving the coaching staff
ample time to condition the. successful
candidates for the meet with Lehigh.
The line-ups for the final bouts of the
trLals are as follows.
In the 115 pound class Watson and
Jones survived the preliminary and
semi-final bouts and the final will
decide which of the two will meet the
Brown and White grappler in this
weight
In the 125 pound class the semi-fin
ale were not completed last week
There atill remained one bout between
Matters and Garber, the winner to
meet Evans for the berth on the team.
In the 135 pound class the place in
next Saturday's meet rests between
Captain Deter and Williams. Both men
have been going strong recently, and
although the former has the edge on
the latter in experience, Williams has
had the advantage of mere practice so
far this season.
