A well-trained Nittany Lion, still
bearing the scars of many battles, de
parted this morning for a critical in
vasion of'the basketball domains of a
long victorious Panther and a down
trodden Tartan.
Coach Hermann's charges will en
counter the University of Pittsburgh
tonight on the Stadium court and
Carnegie Tech tomorrow night in th , e
Plaid gym.
The Panther courtmen, although
not coming up to the record of their
1928 predecessors, form a well-round
ed team. Thus far this season they
have won eleven games and lost five.
Three of their defeats were adminia
tered by Butler, Northwestern, and
Wisconsin teams at the opening of
the season, while the other two were
received. at the hands of West Virginia
and Notre Dame.
Defeat Army
Coach Carlson's men proted too
strong for the lowa and Indiana' quin
tets at - Pittsburgh and led Ohio State
by eight points at .the close of the
game. The Pitt passers
,boast fur
ther victories over Carnegie Tech,
Waynesburg; Army, Rensselaer Tech,
Temple, and Washington and Jeffer
aon.
One of the greatest upsets of the
season occurred when - the Panthers
defeated the Arniy, 69-16, at Pitts
burgh.. The Pitt men were at their
best in that game, keeping the West

wind plays. The Army scored only
four field goals during the entire con
test. Coach Carlson started his flub
dilutes against the Rensselaer Poly
tech team and did not allow his regu
lars to enter the fray until the second
half. Hyatt, nevertheless, managed
to score fourteen points- in less than
twenty minutes of play while Baker
amassed twelve trifles in the same
time. The final score was 48 'to 15.
- , Bow to Notre Dame
In their stiffest gaine of the season
the Carlson-coached quintet went down
to a bitter defeat at the hands of a
powerful Notre Dame team, 33 to 23.
The Hoosier passers demonstrated
their superiority from tho start of the
contest.
Pitt's basketball .team is 'made Up
of four members of last year's Na
tional Champion basketball machine.
Chipper Hyatt is . the , outstanding
player of Carlson's quintet. He is ac
claimed by coaches and sports writers
as the greatest forward of the year.
In thirteen games this season - he has
amassed a total of 195 points, or an
average of fifteen points for each
game. He is now leading scorer of

guard, has been performing well at

Carnegie Loses Seven
Carnegie Tech's basketball team is
in the throes of an unsuccessful sea
son, having won only one game out
of nine attempts. After suffering de
feats from Waynesburg and West
Virginia - the Tartans were finally able
to down Genova college by a margin
of two points. They have been de

of his address to the graduates at the

The audience could not refrain
from smiling. The expression on the
face of the president of Juniata col

lector of butterflies who, by the use
of his spare time, had_ risen to a
position of prominence among his
scientific colleagues. 'The collector
at the time, was sorting insects for.
the National Museum at Washington,
D. C.
"While. sorting this collection Of
insects," the former Governor con
tinued, "the curator happened upon
two insects the characteristics of
which'were so allied that he reason
ed that there must be some other
species between the two." The col
lector was so convinced of _the truth
of his conclusions that the' 'desire
to discover the specimens bothered
