Cross. Fire Effective
This is in large part due to the al
umni cross-fire by graduated classes
whose permanent secretaries have
started helpers on the task of writing
to every member of their particular
class in an effort to have the class
go on record as a one hundred per
cent organization in the campnlgn.
Three of the earlier classes have reach
ed the one hundred per cent mark, and
the class of 1922. because of Us $lOO
promissory note campaign of last
spring is well over the seventy-five
per cent mark.
This cross fire will soon go beyond
class limitations, and departmental
and campus organizations will start
getting in communication with their
members, and with local and national

ate who has not subscribed will be ap

SECOND HALF SHOWS
LION CUBS’ REAL FORSI
The Lion cubs took the Juniata He
serve team into camp ns their first
quurry of the 1923 basketball senson
when they won a 24-43 victory in the
Armory Saturday night. From the
opening whistle it was evident that
the Penn Slate yearlings had the edge
on the opposing quintet, although both
teams failed to get down to steady
consistent playing until the second
half of the contest. Although many
Haws appeared in the work of the
Blue and White frosh, as was to be
expected in the first game of the en
son, the freshman tosaers showed that
they are capable of turning out a good
brand of basketball and they should
develop into a fast and skillful com
bination before the end of the season.
Frosh First to Score
Hardly had the game begun when
MoViokor of Penn State dropped the
bail through the basket, and two min
utes later Hershey of Juniata suc
ceeded in placing a long shot from the
corner of the floor. Uoth teams had
difficulty in maintaining steady play
ing, each quintet apparently fearing
the other, ami as u consequence the

nice and the shooting and passing too
Although Mlchalski's guarding was
for the most part effective, he showed
a tendency to keep a greater distance
between himself and the opponent
whom he was, “covering" than he
should have. For this reason, the
Juniata Reserve was able to attempt
more shots for the basket than he
otherwise might have done.
Hood did fair work in shooting fouls,
caging six of his fourteen attempts,
while Hershey who did the foul shoot
ing for the opposing five, dropped but
eight out of twenty balls through the
basket and Dibble missed two tries.
Hood also demonstrated his ability to
place field goals very prettily when
ho had sufficient opportunity, and Mc-
Vickor likewise proved to be a win

FROSH GRAPPLERS TO
MEET OTHER SCHOOLS
Regular Meets with Other Fresh
man Teams To Be Scheduled—
Many Candidates Practicing
Extending' Penn State athletics to
the extent of forming a distinct fresh
man wrestling team, to compete with
yearling represent!! lives from other
Eastern institutions, is now being un
dertaken by Coach Dinar with the as
sistance of J. V. Griffiths ’23.
With the exception of boxing, wrest
ling sport is the only activity not now
represented by a freshman squad.
Meets between first year wrestling
teams have been conducted by other
colleges for several* years, especially
Cornell and University of Pennsylvan
ia. and have proved to be an important
-ild in the development of the varsity
squads. Up until this season, fresh
man wrestling has been confined to
inlet-class meets which* fail to give
them the value of meeting an tin
known team from another college.
Frosh candidates for the first year
grappling squad have been practicing
daily for the past few weeks under the
coaching of Dave Detar. This practice
is at seven o'clock, following the var
sity squad training. There are ap
proximately twenty-five first year men
now reporting daily, from which It
appears that some valuable matmen
will be developed. The greatest diffi
culty whfeh the coach has to overcome
is the lack of experience, very few of
the candidates having done any mat
work previous to their entering col
lege. The main asset of the sqund Is
their willingness to train and their
fighting spirt.
The schedule for the coming season
has not yet boon definitely Agreed up
on. but negotiations are being con
ducted for meets with several other
frosh teams. It is expectod that only
two or three contests will he arranged
this year, witli at least one meet away
from home.
Tho Penn and Cornell freshman
teams are tho principal ones which
may grapple with tho Blue and White
frosh. Tho Y. M. C. A. wrestling team
of Hollidaysburg is also a possible op
ponent for the' Nlttany cubs but ar
rangements have not been completed
for tho games. In addition to theso
prospective meets, tho Juniata Re
serves and the University of Virginia
have also been considered. It is ex
pected that a definite answer will be
received front the latter this week.
The practice of the yearlings so far
this season has shown up several can
didates in the various classes who arc
of it calibre likely to attain a position
on the first team. As with the varsity
squad, the hardest position to fill will
be that of the heavyweight class, in
which so far there have been no frosh
candidates.
In the 115 pound class, E. Z. Fold,
J. H. Abbott and J. F. Pierce arc the
strongest candidates, while D. N. Ball,
and F. W. Sands are the main candi
dates in the 125 pound class; in the
135 pound division, F. L. Reed and R.
H. Adams are striving for a berth. Ad
ams was one ’of tho freshman football
quarterbacks. J. It. Dowd. R. B. Roush,
and T. B. Giordano are putting up si
strong fight in the 145 pound class.
B. M. McCool and T. M. Cunningham
are the likely candidates for the 168
pound division. In the 175 pound
class, I. April and R. W. Simons are
the strongest candidates. A. Michals
ke is the only possible heavyweight
candidate at this time but on account
of freshman basketball, he is not able
to train for the position.

BOUT FOR NAVY MEET
Coach Leo Houck and hie largo group

workouts In the Armory from five
thirty until seven, and reached the
point yesterday where the boxing
mentor considered it advisable to cut
down the size of the squad so ns to
facilitate more personal and elllcient
instruction for each candidate.
Lack of Heavyweights
A feature that has become notice
able during the past weeks of prac
tice is the lack of heavyweights for
the Blue and White boxing squad. In
spite of the fact that there seem to
he plenty of heavyweight men among
the students of the college, very few re
piM’t for tryouts for the fistic compe

candidates in this section of the squad.

Harvard won the first leg on tho cup

chosen as the prize song and with the
