C., who is chairman of frje *2l ci?.gg memorial, that the class memorial committee had decided to contribute $lOO a year for three years to the building fund. The *2l class was the second to have its members take out life insurance policies making the college the benefi ciary of a twenty-year endowment food that will probably total s4o,ouu for the institution. In addition to this action the memorial committee decid ed to a contribution that would bring earlier returns to the college. The classes of 1917, 1918, and 1919, through official action have ail voted their memorial funds towards the erec tion of a swimming pool. Action on this point by the individual classes was taken before the emergency build ing campaign was contemplated, and the funds aggregating several thousand dollars, are naturally absorbed as a port of the campaign, and each of these flmsffl will be given credit towards the erection of the swimming pool to be a part of the gym. sl,oBl*ooo Last Monday The general campaign has continued this week on its usual scale and be . tween $13,000 and $20,000 will be added 'to the $1,081,000 total recorded on Mon day when the last official tabulation was made.

But one more game remains on the 1923 cige card, a tussle with the Alumni passers on next Saturday evening. Coach “Dutch” Hermann allowed his protegee to rest up a bit In the early part of the week as a reward for their 'splendid showing fat the hard games with Cornell and Syracuse, but the rest period was not of long duration. Tues day night saw the Nlttany basketeers back In the- harness again, working hard in anticipation of a stiff battle with the Swarthmore quintet.- Better passing was strongly In evidence In the last few practice sessions and a decid ed Improvement was noticeable In the general conduct on the floor, although the shooting was a little off, too many shots going wide of the basket. Same Line-up The Penn State team la in top notch physical condition. Loefller has fully recovered from the injury to his leg which caused him so much trouble in the New York state tussles lsst week end. The Une-up for tomorrow night’s encounter will be Identical with the one used so successfully all season. Cap tain "Pip" Koehler and Loefller will go to their accußtomed places at guard with "Sam” ,fihair at and Steed and Gerhardt In the forward positions. This combination, successful In repulsing all opponents encountered thus far with the exception of Cornell, Is regarded by many authorities on sports as one of the strongest outfits in collegiate circles. Not much la known of the relative strength of the Garnet five, and In view of this fact Coach Hermann is taking no chances In tuning up his men for the clash. Although not one of the leaders In the basketball world this season, Swarthmore'.is .sure to place a competitive team on the floor and a fast and interesting' game be expected.

Special sets are being used, how*cver, to make the program as effective as possible. The first play to be presented will be "Riders of the Sea,” by J. M. Synge. It is perhaps, the most significant play of Irish dramatic movement at the present time. It Is being ably manag ed by Miss Vera J. Keppel, who has lately come to Penn State as an in structor In the English Department. The cast of characters Includes Miss Mary Ferguson *24, Miss Miriam Roy *25, Miss Mary Jones *25 and P. V.

MITMEN TO MEET ARMY TOMORROW Nittany Aggregation Will Journey To West Point, Leaving Wirt, Bordner and Clark Behind ARMY HAS WON TWO AND LOST ONE, OUT OF THREE The Penn State boxing team, crip pled by the loss of three men, will meet the Army aggregation at West Point tomorrow* night. The latest blow to be dealt the Nittany flstmen by Fate is the loss of Wirt from the 125-pound class. Wirt will be forced to withdraw* because'of *an‘lnjured toe which may keep him out of the ring for the re mainder of the season. Captain Bord ner is definitely out, and Clark is like wise lost to Penn State for this season, it is thought. Tail, who w*as kept out of the Penn battle last Saturday, on ac count of a sprained ankle will prob ably enter the squared circle against the Army. Prospects Good In spite of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Penn State stands a good chance of winning tomorrow’9 meet. The Army team has met with indifferent success this season, having experienced difficulty in securing meets, and having lost some good men through scholastic difficulties. The cadets met and defeated the Uni versiy of Toronto and Culver Military Academy, and suffered defeat, 4-3, at the hand of Penn. In the 115-pound sector,-Tail, will meet Brosnan of the Army, who has battled for the cadets ' in two of the three meets and is a mit-wlelder of no mean ability. Coach Houck will choose between Hagenbuch and Zelg to take the place of Wirt in the bantamweight, since Zeig is at present nursing an injured nose. In his class the Army will pre sent Andrews who Is new this season but who has fought in all of the Army meets. Captain Harmony, Army Lightweight Harmony, Captain of the West Point aggregation, will fight the 135-pound battle for the Army, and needs no des cription. He has held the lightweight title at "West Point for three years. The two hopes for the Lion In this weight nre Young and O'Donnell, with Tounc •he stronger rival. However his work against Penn last Saturday fell far •■hort of satisfying-the Nittany fistic mach. although he has shown a decid ed improvement during the week. Zerbe of Penn State is slated to box Marcus in the 145-pound class, tomor row. Marcus was Metropolitan Boxer before enrolling*at the Military Acad emy. Promising Newcomer at Armory Weiss, a new comer in the welter weight competition at the Armory. Is showing boxing form of a high quali ty, and if he continues as he has be gun, will prove a dangerous contender In either this weight or the 135-pound division. Since he weighs but 138 pounds at present, he would experi ence no difficulty in landing the light weight berth if he could outbox the more experienced competitors there.

ELMAN TO GIVE VIOLIN PROGRAM IN AUDITORIUM Noted Russian Virtuoso to Appear at Penn State Under Auspices of “Y” Musical Course IS FIRST CONCERT BY ELMAN AT PENN STATE Popular Violinist Wishes To Teach Students How To Appreciate Good Music Mischn Elman, the well known Rus sian violinst, who is making his tenth tour of the United States this winter, will appear at Penn State for the first time this evening when he gives the next number of the Y. M. c. A. and Department of Music's Musical Course in the Auditorium at eight fifteen. While the musical public of Penn State needs no further invitation than a mere announcement to hear Elman, it is not only that public that the great violinst desires to reach. “I want to plough deeper for my public," says Mischa Elman. "I want to reach those people who have never heard good playing or good music. I want to get outside the circle of con cert goers in order to increase the mus ical appreciation of a community. I want to create music lovers, for that is as much the work of a'solo artist os to interpret the great master compos ers. The creation of new numbers of musical lovers must have an effect upon the whole spiritual life of the community In that it brings with it a greater breadth.” Tonic, technique, temperament, In telligence. artistry, and musicianship are all combined in his work. As the Cleveland “News” said after one of Elman’s recent concerts in that city, “He is one of the most popular, and the reason for It is that Elman touches the hearts of everyone. He plays from his heart as from his head, and his heart is generous." No one can sit unmoved when he plays the Ave Maria of Schubert or the Bach Air for G string. He rouses the moat un musical listener. Elman is a native of Talnohe. Russia, and Is now twenty-nine years old. He first showed signs of extraordinary musical gifts at the age of four when he astonished his parent by playing & number of melodies on the violin. His father, who was also a violinist, at once began to teach him. Three years later he made his English debut, play ing the Tschaikowsky Concerto, hJs success having established his Euro pean reputation. His first appearance in the United States was with the Russian Symphony Orchestra in New York In 1908. As is usual in an Elman concert, the artist will open his program this even ing with a sonata. He will then work down through a number of other works and end with lighter compositions. The program follows: I. Sonata, D Major Haendel Adagio Allegro Larghetto Allegro 11. Symphonle Espagnole Ualo Allegro Adagio Rondo 111. Suite, “Viel Larraen urn Nichts/’...- II Korngold Maid in Bridal Array Grotesque Funeral Garden Scene Hornpipe IV.

In addition to these, G. XL Richards '23 hurt his shoulder this week during practice, J. A. Parthemore ’25 is confined to the hospital with an operation and F. N. Emory *24 has a slight injury which may not prove to be serious. Changes May be Made Tho final choice of the team will not be made until tomorrow and may have some decided alterations from the squad that has wrestled in the last two meets. In the 115 pound class, either R. S. Lehman '25 or L. A. Cary *25 will wres tle. Cary has been doing good work all season but Lehman has the advan tage over him of being more aggressive and working harder for a fall after going to the mat. H. A.

The freshman cagers have enjoyed a successful sea son this year, winning five games and losing but one, and they are determined to annex a victory to the last encoun ter of the season. Since the clash with Indiana Normal last Saturday afternoon. Coach Haines has been working his men hard and long in an effort to correct the faults evidenced in that game and to get them in the best possible shape for the tus sle with the York Collegians. The re sults of the week’s practice were grati fying to the freshman mentor as a better passing game has been devel oped and a big improvement is notice able in shooting from the floor as well as foul tossing. Line-up Unchanged The line-up which started the game last Saturday will likely be used In the encounter with the Institute five. This includes Hood and Servick at the forward positions, Jarmolowitz at cen ter and Richman and Dawson in the guard berths. Several other players will make the trip as available substi tutes but the coach has not definitely decided on the particular men. York Collegiate Institute has built up a reputation in basketball circles In .the easem part of the state. The combination of tossers representing this Institution has defeated some of the strongest preparatory schools and col lege freshman teams in the east. The outfit this year is composed of vet eran players and their coach has been pointing them for the Penn State year-, ling clash ever since the beginning ofl the season.
