NO DISGRACE IN DEFEAT
The defeat of the wrestling team last Saturday at the hands of
the Naval Academy need cause no discouragement to the followers of
Penn State. Although the score would indicate that the meet was
one-sided, practically every bout was decided only after a tremenduous
struggle and a Penn State man never admitted defeat until after
time was called. .
The Navy sent a powerful team here and they deserved to win
There is no discounting this fact. They have the most powerful wrest
ling combination in the country, and to lose to an institution in which
wrestling and other physical training are a major part of the curri
culum is no disgrace. Penn State can take pride in the fact that she
is the first to score on the Navy this season in wrestling. Captain
Watson has brought this distinction to Penn State.
We would commend the action of the cheer leader in his efforts
to obtain better conduct at the indoor meets. Penn State can not
afford to tolerate "cow-college stuff" and every thinking student with
Penn State at heart will support any move for its elimination.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
Phi Kappa Phi is to be commended and congratulated upon the
large part which it played in securing the consent. of William Jen
nings Bryan to appear here this week and speak to Penn State on his
experiences in the great game of politics. Mr. Bryan-Will be the third
personage of national prominence to appear this year under the aus
pices of the Phi Kappa Phi. -
A universally known statesman, lecturer, and politician,.tilliau
Jennings Bryan has held a prominent position in public life for almost
thirty years and is recognized as a leading authority on topics or
national and international importance. Through actual contact wits
the world's leaders in thought and in power and through personal
observation and study of the big problems of the day, he has acquires
an intimate knowledge of man's 'affairs. He is said to possess a re
markably clear conception of the world's presen issues. He is par
ticularly well-informed on political matters and,in his address here on
Wednesday evening, will describe in his usual vivid manner the fasci
nations, Joys and sorrows involved in the political game. He will
also devote considerable time to questions which have arisen out of
the recent Disarmament Conference at Washington
With such an interesting evening promised it is difficult to pic
ture less than a packed house Wednesday evening. Penn State has
always welcoined speakers of the calibre of Mr. Bryan and it will be
well worth every student's time to take advantage of the opportunity
of hearing one of America's foremost orators speak on a subject
which he so well understands. .Mr. Bryan made a lasting impression
in the visit which he paid to this institution last year.
REVERSING A DEFEAT
The basketball team turned the tables on our rival Washington
and Jefferson five that succeeded in defeating the Nittany team earlier
in the season. This victory formed a rather comforting climax to the
season of 1922. With the last of the games against foreign foes
played and only the annual tilt with the Alumni remaining, we may
consider the season practically over.
It has not been a championship year for the basketball team. The
squad started with virtually a whole new personnel, and 'from new
material Coach Hermann had to build a representative team. The be
ginning of the year saw numerous Penn State successes, but the an
nual eastern trip witnessed the downfall of the Blue and White. Fol
lowing this came two home games and these gave the basketball mei
a chance to redeem themselves, which they undoubtedly did. The vic
tory over W. & J. is especially satisfying since it was obtained from a
team which was able to wring a defeat from the Nittany five earlier
in the season.

the
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS
offered by the John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance Company of Boston for the best
answer to Mr. Edison's question, "Who
Was John Hancock?" has been awarded to --
LeonV. Quigley, astudent attheWorcester
(Mass.) Polytechniclnstitute. Thisanswer,
giving a correct, concise and comprehen
sive statement of the position occupied by
John Hancock in American history, is
pnnted below in full.
"Who Was john Hancock?"
..jOHN HANCOCK was an American statesman and patriot.
His signature is found on the oldest and most importanedocu•
ments of Massachusetts, and of the United States. He was
the first signer of the Declaration of Independence endures the
first Governor of Massachusetts
. . . _
John Hancock was born at s;7.uincy, Massachusetts, in 1737.
He graduated from Harvard College, and entering upon his
uncle's business became a successful merchant in Boston He
gained much in social power and in wealth, being meanwhile
justly popular for his integrity and ability.
He was in 1765.1770 a selectman of Boston and a member of
the general court With Samuel Adams he led the Massachu
settsWhigs,and only escaped uaptureat Lexington and Concord
by virtue of the valiant fight by the Minute Men on the "N
teenth of April in '75."
John Hancock was subsequendyknown incurious positions:
as President of the Continental Congress, as Malor-Oeneral of
the Massachusetts military forces, as President of the Constitu
tional Convention. He died at Quincy,Massachusetts, October
eighth, 1793.
The historical position of John Hancock is unique in State
and Nation. He wielded great political influence but was always
liberal and public-spirited. His name is most prominent as a
Whig leader during the American Revolution in such events
as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the battles
of Lexington and Concord.
John Hancock signed his name fins to the Declaration of
Independence. He thus risked his own"life, liberty, and pursuit
of happiness" that these privileges might be obtained for others
to enjoy. To this end he "pledged his life, his fomme, and his
honor."
. . .
That he was popular and efFadent may be fudged from the
fact that he was for ten years Governor of Massachusetts, be
ing elected annually to this office by popular vote.
John Hancock insured the life of the nation.—
We will insure your life with the same integrity
