WILL HOLD FINAL STATE CAGE TILT HERE APRIL 2 2 Teams Surviving High School Competition To Meet in Recreation Hall BOARD AGREES ON LOCAL CAMPUS FOR PLAY-OFFS "Collegian" Finds Sports Editors Favor Central Location At Penn State As a culmination to a vigorous campaign on the part of local athletic authorities, sports editors of news papers throughout the State, and the Cougnms, the Pennsylvania Inter scholastic Athletic association will conduct its annual State championship basketball game in Recreation hall April 2 Although Neil M Fleming, grad uate manager of athletics, has as yet received no official confirmation of the return of the game to the College, its original site, Associated Press dis patches from the offices of the asso ciation at Harrisburg carry the in formation that a decision to accede to the requests for the return of the game here was reached by the P. I. A. A. board early this week. 600 Teams Entered Thousands of visitors and hundreds of schoolboy athletes will be attracted to the campus to attend the final game here. Attendance at the 1931 event, which was held at the Univer sity of Pittsburgh, was estimated at between eight and ten thousand spectators. The two surviving teams will come here as the cream of close to 600 schoolboy teams entered in the State association competition. League lea ders of these teams will meet in in ter-league competition to decide dis trict winners next week, and inter district games will take place the fol lowing week. Games between the semi-finalists of the eastern and west ern parts of the State will be held March 30 to determine which two teams are to meet for the champion ship in the title gang here. Fa,ered Penn State Feeling a widespread desire to have the game return here the COLLEGIAN began sounding out opinion among sports editors of newspapers in var ious parts of the State in January. The returns indicated that a two thirds majority favored Penn State as the site for the game because of its central location, its early connection with the playoffs, and its logical po.' salon as head of State educational in stitutions From the time of their inception in 1919 until 1929, the playoffs were held heie annually. In 1929, the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing asso ciation tournament conflicted with the dates for the games rind they were tinnqferied to the University of Pitts burgh that year and to the University of Pennsylvania Palestra in 1930, the plan being to have them alternate between East and West Since the playoffs were held here m 1928, a change has been made in the elimination procedure so that only one game instead of two is held at the finals.

The purpose of the diet course is to Provide food with proper caloric value and to furnish a room where patients will rest for short periods before meals 'strikiny different from Rockwell IKent's. gl The lithographs of Victoria Hutson, prominent woman artist, are notable for solidity of form, simplic ity, and striking pattern. Wanda Gag, the other woman represented, specializes in interior and uses ex tremely interesting lines in her com position. Interesting interpretation of subject matter is the characteristic of Pop Hunt's lithograplr, Professor Lawson pointed out Louis Lazowick is in spired by industrial subjects and be achieves some striking effects by using strong contrasts. The chief virtue of George Riddle's lithographs is the fine distribution of darks and lights and the feeling for line compo sition, with the subordination of the realistic approach. "Lithographs are executed with n crayon on a stone which readily ab sorbs and holds the grease," Professor Lawson said "Wood cuts are made by cutting lines in the surface of a wood block. The surface is then ink ed and prints black, the lines appear. mg in the print- as the whites."
