Jostling Sophs Shove Amazed Plebes
For Loss in Annual Pushball Scrap
"What do you du-a Soph I push.
I push, I push."
Probably actuated by seine such a
parody us the above upon one of the
accent song successes, the Class of
1920 pushed and shoved its way
through a maze of pulling yearlings,!
jostling the amazed nosh right and
left, to um the annual Pushball Swap
to the merry sachet of 2 to 0 on Old
Deaver field Wednesday afternoon.
There was nothing to it. The plebes
gaited to push the lag pill and the
second-year men started to shove Just
as heartily, and perhaps a little mole
so judging by the final tally,. It is
iepoi Cod, at any rate, that exactly
six minutes was the time required for
the sophomores to out-push the ver
dant freshmen and rush the ball over
the goal bile for the first pond.
Governing Body Plans

That Penn State should 'lace a

While not under estunating the

Although lomori•ow s encounter will

Then, both contingents m cited from

At the end of the fifteen minute per
iod, the second-year men were hold
ing the sphere neat the goal line of
their opponent, so neat in fact that
the judges awaided them an extra
point. Thus did 1931 bite the dust!
"flats off for the sophomoics," says
the scraps committee, "it they battle
with the same spirit in the Tug-of-
War tomorrow erten noon at one-thirty
o'clock on Old Beaver field."
Just to make things inteiesting for
