VOL. X)al, No. 44
Varsity, Cub Quintets Meet Pitt
As Part of Sports Carnival Here
Captain Mike llamas To
Play Last Tilt for
Lions Tomorrow
FINALE OF YEAR
FOR BOTH FIVES
Geared to a high pitch of anticipa
tiol, awaiting battle with on eager
ness that bespeaks "Revenge." the
l'enn State basketball team is all set
and rarin' to go as FOOll as the referee
gives the signal that will send the
Lions MP) battle against an aggrega
tion of Pitt court stars on the local
hardwoods tomorrow night at sere"
o'clock.
In addition to being the finale of
the season for both teaum, the game
will mark the passing of Captain
Mike llamas, ever-threatening for
ward luminary. from the ranks of
Penn State basketball competition.
Ever since his appearance on the Blue
and White floor team, Mike has prov
ed one of the game's sillier stars, con
stantly looming as a menace to op
posing teams because of his incom
parable "dead-eye."
Pitt Rules Favorite
Coach Hermann, Captain Mike and
the entire Nittany cage squad have
by no mea•.ts forgotten the 33-27 set
back banded out by the Panthers when
the Lions made a visit to Pittsburgh
two weeks ago. In fact. it is that
stimulus that makes the home play
em actually shout "BLOOD" when
ever the name of Pitt is mentioned.
If there ever was a "grudge" ill:At
tie, it will be the basketball game to
morrow night. It could well be term
ed "The court battle of the century."
But the Nitany team will have to be
decidedly "on" if they hope to achieve
their goal, a win over the Pitt team,
for the Panthers have bent rated with
the leading quintets of the country
by virtue of descisions over Washing
ton and Jefferson, Carnegie Tech,
West Virginia, Michigan State, Michi
gan and Syracuse.
Penn State's forward Iran of Ila
nias. Roepke and Reilly will again
Mart the game and it appears likely
that Coach Ilermann will select
Whitey VonNieda and George Delp
from his wealth of veteran guard ma
terial to answer the opening call.
FRESHMEN BOXERS MEET
BELLEFONTE TOMORROW
Yearlings in Opening Match of
Season—Visitors Win
Over Bucknell. 5-2
After a 5-2 win over the I:ucknell
yearlings last week. the Bellefonte
Academy ringmen will encounter the
Nittony plebe boxing team tomorrow
afternoon in the Armory at twelve
forty-five o'clock.
Awaiting the verification of Coach
Leo Imouck, the successful candidates
for positions on the freshman and
sophomore teams have been chosen.
These choices are the results of elim
inations which have been held during
the past three weeks under the dircc
tion of Coach Houck and the stair of
boxing managers.
The freshman line-up that will be
considered for. positions by virtue of
having eliminated all aspirants in their
respective weights are as follows:
Christopher, 115 pounds; Eby. 125
pounds; Cardoni. 155 pounds; Lewis,
115 pounds; Struble, Pin pounds; Mil
ler. 175 pounds, and Gitterman, unlim
ited. This group has survived elim
inations which started with the match
ing of almost eighty freshmen. It is
practically certain that these men will
face Bellefonte's scrappers tomorrow.
Culp, Miller Honored

11. Culp '27 and I X Miller '2.11
of the Profit stair were appointed to
the advertising and reprint commit
tees. respectively, of the annual Am
erican College Comics convention held

This was the first meeting at which

Frothy Takes Dot

"0 my, spring has come." declared
I•'roNay as he hopped, skipped and
jumped across the street this Infirnifig
to Graham's with a brand new con
signment of belated humor hearing
the caption. "Soph Bop Number."
But lo! Everything has apparent
ly gnu wrong for Frothy. "Nothing
New Under the Sun," a tale of la
ment front his rusty pen bemoans
the fact that "Its the sane old Hop."
Very pessimistic! Why even the
Spring weather is wet, sloppy, boring
to this "gloomy" individual who even
fails to notice that the trees are tom
ing green and that Silver Stein has
promised a clever decorating scheme
for the Armory•.

that English noble who invited a fair
friend to the Soph flap in the good
old days when the underclassmen
tripped the light fantastic on the

Waite. the princess telegraphed at the
last minute that it. was impossible to
come and would his nobleness please
forgive.
But whom did Protlty run into

Dora the two carefree co-eds who
were invited to the dance by the cam
pus cops. Dot and Dora had some
difficulty in getting away because
memory of how they "spiked" the
punch at last year's affair still linger.
rears have been broadcast that
they'll slip another quart. of gin into

Nevertheless Frothy is going to hop
up to the sophomore's formal tonight
even though his girl gave him a
