Tourney Held at. pia
Although the State interscholastic
basketball playoff games had their
inception at Penn State, the game to
morrow night will be the first here
since 1928 In 1929, the Eastern In
tercollegiate Boxing association tour
nament conflicted with the holding of
the games, and they were transferred
to Pittsburgh. They were held at the
University of Pennsylvania in 1930
and again at the Pitt Stadium pawl.
lion last year
A State-wide survey of sports
editors in January revealed that there
was a widespread desire to have
the game returned here, and the
COLLEGIAN joined the journalists and
local athletic authorities in a vigorous
campaign to make Penn State the site
of the 1032 tilt. Early last month,
the P. 1 A. A. board acceded to these
requests, and, as a result, the game
is being played here tomorrow night.
YALE THEOLOGIAN
TO SPEAK SUNDAY
Tncedy Will Address Chapelgoers

of practical theology at Yale Univer
sity Divinity school, in Schwab audi
torium at 11 o'clock Sunday morning.
Dr. Tweedy, who will address a
Penn State chapel audience for the
tenth time, was graduated from Yale

master's degree from the same insti
tution in 1909. Later the chapel

seminary in Rochester, N. Y., and the
University of Berlin.
In 1921, Dr. Tweedy was granted
n elector's degree by Lebanon Valley
College' Ordained into the ministry

as pastor of Plymouth church in
Utica, N. Y., and South church,
Bridgeport, Conn. He has occupied
his present position at Yale Univer
sity since 1909.,

Highway Series," and "Moral and Re
ligious Training in the School and

Stoddart Explains Grading
In L. A., Chemistry Schools
Dean Attributes Low Average Marks to Large
Number of Underclassmen Taking
Special Required Courses
Because the Libels' Arts and
Chemistry and Physics schools are
"weeding-out" schools, they give the
lowest average grades among the
schools, Dr. Charles W. Stoddart, Lib
eral Arts dean, explained,in comment
ing on the comparisons pnnted in the
last issue of the COLLEGIAN.
These two schools spend more than
half their teaching time with stu
! dents outside their curricula, the Dean
said. Practically every freshman in
the College must take one or more
courses in these schools and this re
quirement forces the average grades
in such courses down, he pointed out
The average grade given in the
Chemistry and Physics school as
shown in a compilation made last
week by Registrar William S Hoff
man was .88, with Liberal Arts next
lowest at 115. Contrary to the way
it was reported, Mineral Industries
had an average of 139, while Physical
Education had 2 04.
• Blames Underclassmen
"It is right that these two schools,
Liberal Arts with Chemistry and
Physics, should have the lowest aver
ages because it has been assigned to
them to serve as eliminators of poor
students in the freshman and sopho
more classes," Dr Stoddart said.
"And these first two classes are the
ones that hold the biggest percentage
of flunking and low mark students."
Marks would be considerably higher
for the two schools if the averages of
the juniors and seniors enrolled in
them were tabulated separately, Dean
Stoddart said He pointed out that
twenty-three percent of both the jun
ior and senior classes of the Liberal
Arts school had an average of 2 or
more for the past semester This
would indicate that the, IoW average
was due to low grades given in: the
first two years and to students ,clut

ERECTION OF POOL
Association in Borough May Build
Outdoor Swimming Tank at
Foster-Holmes Park
Erection of a $30,000 outdoor swim
ming pool is the object of an asso
ciation in the borough of State Col
lege which announced its incorpora
tion this week.
Located in the Foster-Holmes park
beyond the west end of Fairmount
avenue, the pool would be open to the
public for a small fee. A concrete
pool measuring fifty by 125 feet, a
large brick bath house, a wading pool,
and special apparatus for sterilization
and recirculation of the water are in
cluded in the plans suggested by the
association.
Debenture bonds Issued for a term
of fifteen years and floated through
out the town by local banks are pro
posed as the method of financing the
venture.
The pool will become borough prop
erty when the indebtedness is paid off,
the prospectus said The project is
arranged as part of the playground
and recreation facilities of the
borough.
COMPTROLLER TO GIVE
L. A. LECTURE TUESDAY
Smith Will Deliver Talk on 'World
Problems, Educational Policy'
Speaking on "World Problems and
Educational Policy," Raymond H.
Smith, College Comptroller, will give
the fifth lecture in the Liberal Arts
series in the Little Theatre, Old Main,
at 7 o'clock Tuesday night.
Compti oiler Smith will discuss pop
ular reactions under present depress
ed conditions to our colleges and uni
versities, and tell how people gener
ally feel towards higher education.
The College Comptmller studied this
problem while on a leave of absence
from the College during the second
semester last year.
Graduating ficom Penn State m
1905, the Comptroller returned in
1011 to become Graduate Manager of
Athletics and secretuly of Mt Alum

creation by the trustees and has held
that office since 10th.
STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1932
composition in the Liberal Arts school
gave out an average grade of less
than 1. Dr. Stoddart pointed out that
these departments carry the largest
percentage of underclassmen and of
students from other schools and so
have the lowest averages.
In the Chemistry and Physics
school more than sixty-two percent of
the student course hours are taken
up by students from other schools,
while the some condition exists in the
Liberal Arts school for fifty-nine per
cent of the student-course time, Dr.
Sioddart said. On the other hand, he
pointed out that Engineering, Edu
cation, and Agiiculture schools car
ried only twenty-one, twenty-one, and
nineteen percent respectively of stu
dents from other schools.
'34 CHEERLEADERS
TO MEET MONDAY
McCarter Calls Candidates for
3 Junior Positions—Trial
Periods Arranged
Sophomore candidates for next
year's three junior cheerleading po
sitions will meet in the Armory at
7:30 o'clock Monday night, according
to an announcement by Head Cheer
leader William B McCarter '32.
Monday night's meeting will be the
first of a series of training periods
which are scheduled to take place
three times weekly for the next three
weeks. Following three weeks train
ing McCarter wilt name the three new
junior cheerleaders.
Election Date Set
Sophomore elections will be held
Monday, 4pril 25, whilC selection of
next year's head cheerleader is to be
held about ten days after the naming
of the new Junior associates. In '1. 7
cordance with the rules governing the
cheerleader elections, a committee
composed of McCarter, Neil M. Flem
ing, graduate manager of athletics;
Prof Richard W Grant, director of
music, Robert A. HigginS, football
coach; Alfred E Lewis '32, president
of the Athletic association, and Hugo
Dudek, director of athletics, will de
termine next year's head cheerleader
and his three Junior associates.
According to revisions brought
about in the Athletic association con
stitution last spring, McCarter said,
sophomore cheerleading candidates
should have been called in September,
but because the amount of work
was insufficient for a large group of
sophomores, the call for candidates
was delayed until Monday.
Until this year four Junior associ
ates weie selected, but here again the
revisions in the association constitu
tion have made a change, for only
three Junior assistants will be named.
Fulfilling the existing condition, the
o senior associates will receive a
four and one-quarter-inch circle letter
