Gain Initial Victory of ...e , ion
From Southern Invaders
In Match Saturday
Displaying a masked improvement
over the form shown in last week's
encounters, the Penn State golf team
defeated a much-heralded George
Washington quartet, winning four and
giving their opponents two of the
matches played Saturday afternoon on
the College links.
John Shore), of the visiting links
men, was probably the outstanding
golfer of the afternoon. Ile showed
exceptional form in defeating Earl
Ilenitt, who had been undefeated this
season, by a score of 3 and 2. Shorey
and Fritchman of the Lion quartet
tied for the low medal score by shoot
ing the course in smenty-seven strok

exander of the Hatchet team by the
safe margin of 4 and 3.

The two teams split even in the
best ball matches. Shorey and Cole
of the visitors overcame the Penn
State combination of Bunting and

Fritchman continued their winning
streak by taking over Alexander and

REGARDING RECENT CLASS ELECTIONS
After a thorough investigation and a recount of the ballots
cast in the recent class elections, the Election Committee and
the Check-up Committee take this opportunity to announce that
any display of unfair tactics was practically negligible. All
rumors, charging ballot stuffing, were not founded on fact and
therefore absolutely false
The two committees realize that, although there is a high
degree of honesty in the elections, there arc openings for those
Mho desire to practic unfair tactics. This opportunity, however,
is not sufficient to prevent the popular candidates from being
elected to the positions of high campus responsibility that they
are qualified to hold.
It is regarded as e‘tremely unfortunate that there are stud
ents at Penn State who have not learned the valuable art of losing
in a graceful and sportsmanlike manner. The Election Commit
tee and the Check-up Committee hasten to extend sympathy to
the winning candidates for any embarrassment that the untrue
rumors may have caused them—The Committee on Elections.

In Singles Match As
Tartans Win, 54
Lacking power to resist the swift
lobs and accurate shots of the Car

tennis train went down to defeat at
the hands of the invading Tat tans on
the College courts Satin day after
noon, winning only one of the five
matches that were played.
Schmidt, of Carnegie Tech, who
displayed a hitting-power which de
annalized the Lion racqueteers, was
the mainstay of the visiting team Ile
defeated Captain Barr of the Col
lege team 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 in the first
singles encounter, and, paired with
Glaser, found little trouble disposing
of Butler and Bari of Penn State, 6-4,
6-3 in the first doubles match.
Metzner, who was the only Penn
State player to score a win, was the
most consistent and dependable man
in the Lions' court aggregation. The
bespectacled racquet wielder came
through with a victory over Carpen
ter front the Tartan team by a count
of 3.6, 6-4, 9-7. Butler, although
playing a steady game and winning
the first set, succumbed to the teruble
onslaught of shots delivered by Hoop•

2.6, 6.0, 6-1. The other doubles match
was won by Kalmbach and Carpenter
of Tech from Metzner and Hinkel 6-3,
