He was always on the alert for enemy advances and mole than once bloke up plays under the Panther goal His effective defensive tactics prevented Hyatt, accorded by sporting clams to be the leader of In tercollegiate basketball players, from carrying away sconng.honors. Skip per Stahley was also instrumental in smashing many well-directed Pitt ad.! vanes Mazes, Reinhold Effective At the outset of the contest the Lions were unable to get under way. Their passing was ragged and during the first seven minutes of the fray were unsuccessful in piercing the al most impregnable Panther defensive nail.

From this point on the pupils of Dutch Hei mann changed their tactics entirely and before the. close of tho fast half sent the score into a deadlock.

Griffin Cites Acts of Omission As Greatest Sins Stressing the fact that sins of omis sion caused by indolence, inertia, and lassltudas are often greater than sins of commission, the Rev. Frederick R Griffin, minister of the First Unitar ian church, Philadelphia, exhorted the chapel audience Sunday morning to encompass the ideas which make an intermission for undesirable acts im possible Doctor Griffin opened his address with the Scriptural quotation concern ing the three servants who received the award of five, two, and three tal ents respectively, from their lord. "Our future life is controlled by our actions in the past," Reverend Mr. Griffin said, "and therefore we should judiciqusly forget the past by living with wisdom in the present and with devotion in the future." Such a life, Doctor Griffin emilained, necessitates a life full of good works. Inaction, or merely prolonged con templation frequently becomes worse than mistaken action, he said "It is possible that these is such n thing as having the mind so full of facts that there is no room for ideas," the speaker affirmed.

The meet was one of the most brilliant °ter put on by a' !Lion grappling squad. Excessive weight in the unlimited/ class was all that prevented a sixth fall for' the Nittany matmen Fisher nearly had his man on his back sew. al. times only to lose out because of the greater weight of his opponent. IThe meet Saturday was the last of the dual matches for the season and marked the close of a season without dqf,eat.f. also waLthe third meet of tin . ; Year In 'which Penn State bas scored thirty or morn points Primed for the last match of the season the Lion wrestlers took the lead in every bout, except the last one, and stayed ahead until a fall had been secured.

In one of the holds, however, when Captain Preston attempted to free himself, he pulled too hard and dislocated his shoulder. The bout was stopped and a fall awarded to Steele. Captain Wilson and Step gave a good account of themselves in the' second bout. Both men used offensive tactics in the opening of the bout.' During the eaily minutes both came, together drawing blood front Wilson's: mouth Gaining his regular hold on Stiap the Nittany captain picked him up and dropped him to the mat The unexpected drop seemed to sap the strength of the Westein 125-pounder From that time on Captain Wilson e..- perienced little trouble although he was not able to put his man on his back until aftei nine minutes and twenty-live seconds had elapsed. Hublor and Reeser played safe dur ing the opening minutes of the bout. Both men remained on their feet until ! Hubler by a quick dive took his man to the math. From then on Hublet started on a tune advantage which ended in a fall after five minutes and one second. Several times the Lion grappler was compelled to change his holds just as a fall seemed inevitable. Eisenman, using his hammer lock and half nelson, had little trouble in downing Koosed. Getting the advan time soon after the opening bell sounded Eisenman temained in the lead continually. He also was faced with the 'difficulty of turning a man who refused to wrestle. Campbell scored the quickest fall of the bout, throwing his man in
