SINK THE NAVY!
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.

"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."

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

"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. But I really do believe you air

Smithers: I assure you, kind friend, that my only troub:e

that initiation does urine, ve one It's probably mental, as
you say.
"I understand. You are foolish enough to lose your
good sleep oven initiation. But yoit always campaigned

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. But how ,

Just a line to let you know where
some of your tobacco has been going
for the last ten years.
- I have been smoking Edgeworth for
the past ten years, in fact, since I
started smoking, and it is just as good
now as it was then. Have given other
hands a fair trial, but there is none
like Edgeworth. During that time I
have had costly pipes and some not so
costly, but I have decided that it is
not the pipe but what is in it that
counts.
With best wishes for your continued
success in the manufacture of this high
grade tobacco, I am,
