Although the score seems to indicate , that the disciples of Leo Houck were badly outclassed, yet such is not the truth. Tali Loses By Default In the 115-pound class, Tait had a decisive lead over his opponent Bros inun, throughout the first two rounds but in coming out of a clinch In the second round it was discovered that his eye was badly cut. It was found that this impaired his eyesight and the ref oree refused to allow Talt to continue, awarding the bout to tho Army man by default.. J. B. Hagonbaeh ’25 piled up a big load in the first minute with a.series of straight lefts and right crosses to the Juw and had his man groggy and swing ing wildly. Ono of the wild swings caught' the Fenn State boxer on the point of the chin and sent him to the mat. The second stanza was practic: ally a repetiton of tho first, Haggen bauh again stepping into a wild swing and taking the count. Although he lost this bout, yet Hoggenbach showed signs of promise, and with a little more ex perience should prove a welcome addi tion to the Nittany ring squad.

CLOETINGH TO TALK ON THEATRE “Present Day Tendencies of the Theatre" Is Subject of Tonight’s Lecture ONE-ACT EXPRESSIONISTIC PLAY TO FOLLOW TALK “The Present Day Tendencies of the Theatre" will be the subject of a lecture to bo given by Mr. A. C. Cloetingh In :ho Auditorium this evening, beginning at seven o'clock. Following the lecture, Mr. Cloetingh will present a one-act expressionistic play by Eugene O’Neill. Mr. Cloetlngh’s lecture will be most interesting, especially to college stud ents. He will spend some time dealing with the influence which the college atnnteur theatrical groups havo on the theatre of today. Ho will then toko up In detail some of tho recent plays on Broadway, and discuss the Continental influence on the play. The Continental Influence is no Inconsiderate force at the present time, particularly the Rus sian Influence. Mr. Cloetingh will then touch on ex pressionism, the new note in the thea tre of today. "Bound East for Cardiff" s the name of tho play to be presented directly following his lecture, it was written by Eugene O'Neill, one of the hest writers of this school, and the chief exponent of this now thought. The scene .of r the. play Is on board & ship, and deals with a novel and inter esting situation which will delight any audience. The ..language and charac ters of the play are of the lower strata of humanity, and the entire situation is well carried out by the author. FIRST FIREMAN’S BALL SINCE 1917 PLANNED Preparations for the proposed Fire man's Ball, the first of Ra kind since 1917, are now complete and April sixth is the -day set aside’ for the dance which • will be held la 'the Ar mory from eight until twelve"o’clock. Griffith's nine-piece orchestra has been engaged and the programs and tickets for the occasion have been made up. The affair is being\ sponsored by the Penn ptate . Student Fire Oonipany. The Fireman’s Ball for a long time prior to 1917 was an annual affair, but due‘to tho discontinuing of the com pany during the T. C. days, no dances have been hsjd since time. A ticket sale for the danced will be held at the Music Store at a later date. The. purpose of the dance Is . to raise money for new equipment. The equip ment which the student company now has is decidedly inadequate for the pro tection of the college buildings. The members of. the company have nothing to wear for protection as the smoke masks, rubber bats., and. rubber coats are an In bad'ooadltio*.

Last year, he lost only to the Navy on a decision and was handicapped in tho Intercolleglates by n burned hip.' This year. “Doc” has led hts team to many a notable victory, and has easily shown himself to bo superior to all 145 pound contenders.

Action on this plan was taken recently by the Athletic Advisory Committee, and the new bleachers are now an assured fact. The construction of these new bleach ers is Jn preparation for the large crowds which aro expected next year. The now stand Is to ho thirty rows high and three hundred feet long. It is to be set on piers as the other large stand, but will have certain advantages which the old ones do not have. En* •ra-ces will bo provided opposite each '.o and will facilitate the emptying of the stands at the end of the games. There will also bo a much larger Press Box, ample for the uses to which It will be put. It Is estimated that with ihe new stands, a crowd of sixteen thousand persons can be seated. The ?nst bleachers have a capacity of ap proximately 5400. Besides constructing 'these new bleachers, the college also plans to build five or six-rows of tiers of stoplng stands In front of tho two big stands. Then by clos'ng In the north and south ends as In previous years, a record crowd can be hand led. Even If as many as twenty thousand persons are present, they can be accomodated In somo way. It is believed that this seating arrange ment will be sufficient at least for next year. The bleachers and grand stand on the west side of tyew Beaver will be torn down, since the cost of moving them would be prohibitive. The cost of building the new stands will be a round sixteen thousand dollars. PROGRESS BEING MADE IN THESPIAN PRODUCTION Chorus of Eighteen Voices Has Se lected Songs in Catchy Mus ical Comedy With rehearsals held almost every evening during the week, the cast of the new Thespian production *'Hls Little Widows" Is making rapid pro gress. The chorus In particular is mak ing'great headway in the musical end of the play. Composed of eighteen selected voices, the chorus has already worked Into the spirit of the songs which occur throughout the play. The music, com posed by William Schroeder and writ ten In his usual entertaining style, is of a catchy variety and will especially appeal to the student body. Mr. Lang, who has charge of the new Thespian production, Is well pleased with tho pregross that the men are making in tho interpretation of the various parts. As Is generally known, .\ir. Lang was the director of the Thes lan production last year, "The Fair Co-ed," which made such a hit with the ludents of Penn State. Under his di rection. which includes the experience gained_from thirty years of both acting and directing, "His Little Widows" will -•e.a play bordering on the professional.

The team had won four straight matches, until it encounter ed a snag in Georgetown, which school has a record for turning out excellent shots. Defeating the strong Drcxel team by a score of 493 to 600 was the record of the Lion rifle men last week. In a re cent ''lnternational meet, in which Penn State, Yale, Colgate, and Boston University shot against Oxford, the Nittany institution was the only entry to make a perfect score. The meet with Georgetown, which was lost by the close score of 994 to 998, was shot in two positions, sitting and prone. Columbia University will be met this week in a four position match. Not much is known of tho strength of the New Yorkers, but stiff opposition is expected. This will be the second time that Penn State has shot in four posi tions, Northwestern having been en countered lost week under the same conditions. The Westerners were de cisively beaten In this match by a score of 3614 to 3793. The intercollegiate rifle season ends on the seventeenth of March, the Corps Area match being held after the close of the college season. Lieutenant LE. Gruber, coach of the team, is optimistic over the outcome of this match, which will bring together the best R. O. T. C. teams in the country. This Is the first year at Penn State that tho minor sports letter will be awarded to members of the rifle team. To win a letter, one must shoot ns a prin cipal in two-thirds of the matches, or his score must count in case of a tie. Although conditions have been adverse, Penn State has produced one of the best rifle teams in the country, and much of the success of the team Is due to the coach. Lieutenant I. E. Gruber.
