THE FLONZALEY QUARTET 4&* •4 Flonzaley String Quartet Which Will Appear Tomorrow Night in the Auditorium—Organization Has Played Together During Nineteen Concert Seasons The 1923 season marks the nine* teenth concert year of the Flonzatey String Quartet, which will appear to morrow evening us the next number of the Combined Y. M. C. A. and De partment of Music's Musical and En tertainment Course' for this winter. The concert will begin, at eight o'- clock. Lonf •Anticipated To music lovers, the Flonzaley Quar tet needs no introduction and their ap pearance at Penn State is being look ed forward to as one of the best num bers of the Course for this season. The Flonzaley Quartet was formed In 1902 by Mr. de Coppet, while on a visit to his summer villa on Lake Geneva in Switzerland. It was during this visit that Mr. de Coppet drat met Mr. Po chon, the present second violinist of the Quartet, but at that time, instruc tor in the Royal Conservatory of Brus sels. His playing made such a marked impression on Mr. de Coppet, that he persuaded the young Swiss to accom pany him to America and become first violinist of a quartet in which Mr. de Coppet was then interested. \ Soon after coming to America, Mr. i Pochon saw the value of forming a' quartet in which each separate'-artist'! .should devote, his entire time and en-' erg)* to rehearsals, with no . outside duties to distract his attention.

Petitions were received by the Coun cil from the Penn, State Farmer and the Penn State Engineer, desiring that the editors of these papers be consid ered members of the Student Council STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 23, 1923 was In the spring 'of 1903 that Mr. Pochon wrote to several of his friends about Hi b plan, with the result that Adolfo Betti, at that time instructor at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, was secured as first violinist, and Ugo Ara as the viola player. Searching for a 'cellist, they were fortunate in se curing the services of Ivan D’Archam- , beau, the Belgian artist. Originated at “Flontalej" The four musicians met at “Flon zaley", Mr. de Coppet’s Swiss home, and It was there that the quartet took the name by which it has since been known throughout Europe and Amer ica. The personnel of the Quartet re mained unchanged until 1917 when Louis Bailiy, who had won an envi able reputation In Europe as a viola player of distinction, was engaged to take the post' left temprarily vacant by Ara. The Quartet remains today as it was reorganized in 1917. Bach Member a Great Artist The Flonzaley Quartet is one of the most unusual organizations of its kind in the country, inasmuch as each mem ber is a great artist and willing to de vote himself exclusively to quartet work, foregoing the pleasure of self glorification and greater financial re ward as a solo performer. The Flon- ..perfection ..of ensemble and in terpretation has always awakened en thusiasm.

NOT ENTER CONTEST Three Changes Made in Blue and White Team—Middies Have Defeated Lehigh Leaving State College this morning for Annapolis,, the Blue and White mat men will meet the Navy wrestlers to morrow* night, not having ' defeated them since 1913. (Since the Penn meet last Saturday, Coach Detar has been training -his squad bard and all who will make the trip are in top notch form to meet the middies tomorrow. The out come of the contest with the Naval grapplers will be a good indication of the strength of the team this year, as the meet Is the hardest on the schedule, and a victory over the Navy goat should make the prospects of tak ing first place In the Intercollegiates very. good. The team which will face the Nit tany matmen has three changes from that of last w*eek against Penn. These substitutions were made In the 125, 145, and 175 pound classes, G. M. Richards '23 in place of H. C. Hunter '24, R. L.. Black '23 for Captain B. D. Evans '23, and H. E. Park '23 for J. A. Partheraore '25. Richards, who has been working in the 135 pound division has managed to come down to the lower weight, and has ahowm exceptional ability in that class. In the trials he exhibited a better style and more ability than Hunter w*ho has wrestled in this class In the first two meets. Captain Evans Still Oat In the 145-pound class.

PRICE FIVE CENTS Basketeers Tackle Orange Passers Tonight SYRACUSE TOSSERS ARE OUT TO AVENGE DEFEAT New System of Defense Developed by Orange Coach—Designed To Stop Penn State The last game of the season for Coach “Dutch” Hermann's basketball tossers on a foreign floor will be played tonight when the Nittany cagers tack le the strong Orange quintet In a re turn engagement at Syracuse. At the time of going to press no results of the encounter laat night with Cornell had been received. ■, In one of the early season clashes on the home court, Penn State handed Syracuse a 32 to 15 defeat, but this is no criterion by which to predict the outcome of the tussle with the Orange tonight. The Syracuse tossers put up a hard fight in that contest and the game was, In reality, much closer than the score indicates. From the start both teams kept up a pace so furious that the scoring of field goals was limited while foul 9hooting made up half of the tallies for both sides. Syracuse Wants Revenge The Orange passers have been point ing for Penn State ever since that ear ly autumn encounter and hope to get revenge on Hermann's lads by' making ; them bite the dust at Syracuse. A new system of defense similar in many features to the one used by the Nit tany cagers has been developed by the Orange basketball mentor with a view to giving the Blue and White tossers a dose of their own medicine in an ef fort to cut down the scoring.. The Syracuse team for tonight’s engagement will probably be compos ed of GalUvan and Face, forwards, Marae,_ center, and Fisher and .Greve, guards. These are the same players w*ho lined up against the Blue and White basketeers at State College earlier in the season. Fasce is a bril liant player and an excellent shot from the floor, while Galllvan Is a crack foul tosser. Fisher, captain of the team, is one of the best guards in col-, lege circles and is especially adept at recovering the ball under the oppon ents' basket. The Penn State line-up will In all probability be identical with the one which has been used so successfully all season. Reed and Gerhardt will start at the forward positions with Shair at center and Koehler and Lo effier in the guard berths. Stucke man. Wilson, and Fixter have gone with the team as substitutes. MILITARY BALL TAKES PLACE THIS EVENING Elaborate Plans and Decorations Made for Dance—Customs Off for Freshmen Attending' Everything is in readiness for the Military Ball to be held in the Armory this evening.
