Penn State's fistic troupe wall cruise in alien waters this creek-end After the boxers exchange fire with Georgetown's forces in Washington, D C, Friday night, they will hurl their leather-coceied munition stock against hlacy's hitheito impregnable ring fortiess in Annapolis, 3fd , the following night Handicapped by the loss of Stan Kolakoski and Bill Struble, the Lion mvadeis are determined to smash the service team's unpircedented feat of competing in Intel collegiate boxing circles for nine successive yeats without . sustaining a single defeat. Meanwhile the Midshipmen are resolved to keep their record unmarred Coach Leo Houck, heartened by the victories of Epstein and Casom in the Penn and Temple dual meets, believes that the long sought triumph over a Navy nut team is within his reach There is but one hitch in his optimistic prophecy Confi dent that one of the two newcomers will register his thud win of the season, Houck expects to gain three decisions in the heavyweight divisions, thus returning Penn State the slam by a one-point margin. With Steve Hamas in the unlimited class, the Nittany mentor thinks his life-long ambition would be fructified The court team, however, claims the services of Hama; fo; its week-end invasion of Syracuse and Colgate. Con sidered from an impartial viewpoint, a victory over Navy in boxing is more to be desired than triumphs over both Syracuse and Colgate in basketball Theie is everything to gain In the one achievement and nothing to gain in the other. AGAIN-"THE STAG AT EVE- - - There is evident in fraternity social circles a grossing discontent with the unwieldly "stag" lines at week-end dances. The situation has become so acute of late that it is rumored in some qualters that the College intends to suggest a remedy if action is not forthcoming from the official undergraduate bodies in the near future Dissatis faction with the existing system of open dances is noth ing new, on the contrary, the custom has been maimed intermittently during the past two years. A compaite thely small number of fraternities, possessing the cour age of their convictions, have attempted, at infrequent intervals, to combat the evil by closing their dances. Lack ing official approval, hoeever, the plan failed in its pur po.ae. Outspoken disapproval of this open abuse of a social privilege by upperclassmen has been totally lacking in official ranks Instead,'the practice has been censored by individual 4 na their oon fraternibe - s. to'realize that unity of action is the only way by which to achieve results, these discontented fiatermties have been willing to toleiato the "stag" line rather than grapple with the problem. The situation is coming to a crisis Fraternities that are tiring of the practice report that conditions have be come intolerable. "Stags," they complain, outnumber the dancers; the unaccompanied visitors are unruly, and some times ungentlemanly; the custom of "cutting in" has been abused, and, as the last offense, rules have become so lax that sophomores, and occasionally freshmen, visit without having been invited. Avoiding the "stag" line, others lament, destroys what pleasure there is in dancing Until an ingenious undergraduate designs a more de sirable plan, the fraternities, through their representative bodies, should prohibit attending dances uninvited This would have the effect, not only of reducing the number of unaccompanied guests but also of eliminating undesnable visitors. The Bullosopher's Chair EMMIMI "Good morning, Smithers, you look quite disturbed about something. Peihaps your best girl has gone back on you, m—well perhaps you are worrying about the tat it? question?" Smithery Nothing of the kind, old man, your aim was a little off that time "Why wear that undertaker's expression upon your face then if you have nothing worse than girls and tariffs 1 to worry over?" Smithers: Since you ale so persistent I may as well tell you what is the matter. I have been thinking about the success that Penn State athletic teams met with over the Iteek-end, and— "You certainly have a queer nature, Smithers. The idea of worrying over your own team's '4 ictories seems preposterous!' Smithers: Just a minute, Ballo, if you let me finish the sentence NN 'ltch you interrupted so unceremoniously I may be able to make myself cleat. lam not downcast because I Penn State teams have been tdiumphant; in fact I was overjoyed to see the Nittany Lion varsities become con querors over such powerful foes, "Explain yourself then, old top, I seem to be a bit dense this bright morning" Smithers: To get dean to the brass tacks \shall you are (hiving at, the cause for my mental disorder occurred Sat urday afternoon at the boxing meet in the Recreation Hail. In the 175-pound bout our opponents had a more able representative lobo, realizing that with sem e 3 to 2 in laser of Penn State his team's chance for victory lay sole ly with him, did his best to (welcome the Lion r ival. Near the close of the second round the visiting boxer backed the already dazed Nittany ringman against the ropes and pummeled him seem ely, so severely in fact that the refer co stopped the bout. Before the official intelfmed, how -1 ever, the crowd started to boo the aggressor whom it thought seas a bit unroll in his tactics. The booing in- Imeased to a roar and continued until the next and last bout was announced. Whether such actions score encour aged by the fact that a sictory for Penn State in this event would have soon the inset then and there or ss hethei the cross d sought tins manner in which to protest the seem ingly unsportsmanlike conduct of the enemy is a question "Who stinted the rumpus in the first place?" Smithers: It began in the midst of a small glom, of stu dents, who are (Assays eager to take up scone issue of this kind, and spread like a contagious disease throughout the remainder of the audience It was such an unusual hap pening at a home athletic contest that the somewhat be wildered and excited audience Joined the smaller gimp in what might be termed mob action. And there you have my reason for appearing dejected. "I don't blame you in the least for finding fault vdth actions of that type, but at the same time I think that the ringleaders in the affair considered only the injustice that was being done to one of their representatives and thought nothing of what the results of their temonstrations would be." --Preeldent --Vlce-Preddent, ----Trenn ter Edltar-k•Chlrt Aeslatant Editor •fam¢in¢ Edltnr Smithers: There IS such a thing as being too patriotic, my friend, for sometimes one's &suction is ovenuled by his desire for patimtism. I think that is the reason for the loud display of indignation on Saturday The onlookers were so intent upon seeing Penn State win the meet that they forgot everything else. Had they stopped to con sider the fact that this College has always been noted for its fine sportsmanship both at home and away they so sold no doubt have kept their opinions to themselves. At soy rate, it will be far better for them and for Penn State mf they confine their judgments to thoughts and not to boos land hisses hem cutter SESSION TWO "Are you sick, Smitheis , " Smithers: No. Why do you ask" , "Oh, I don't know Are you sure the return of cold weather last week didn't catch you unawares?" Smithers: Nothing like it, nothing like it However, if you insist, I'll try my hest .. "Now, Snutheis." Smithers: But you seem disappointed "Have you: Gun way.

"I understand. You are foolish enough to lose your good sleep oven initiation. But yoit always campaigned against "Hell Week." Why the smitten change'" Smithers: Darn you. You should know that I do and always tell oppose this all-night business of terrorizing freshmen But I'm fighting a losing battle. There isn't another brothel in the house who is willing to Join me in my anti-paddling crusade And goodness knows I've tried hard enough to find one. "I understand peifectiy, Smithers. In fact, I studied the problem as searchingly as I could last lea," Smithers: And what seas your conclusion , "I learned, Smithers, that the problem can be solved." Smithers: That's possible.
