We believe that beneath the exter
ior of the average male student here
there beats a heart of 99 4.1-100 , ,;
gold. flit, to be sure, they occasion
ally act like dolts and perform tricks
that you wouldn't believe possible of
college students. We refer 'especially
to the puerile practice of throwing
pennies on the floor of Roe I at
athletic contests. That this is done
by unthinking morons is . incontest•
able; that it is a dangerous and point
less practice is more so.
Now nothing has been done about
it to date, and the rah-rob boys u•n
doubtedly are counting on it to sm ,
ply them with more amusement at
coming athletic meets. As long as
their start ;deck stuff only made
themselves ridiculous in the eyes of
surrounding spectators, there has
been a tendency to hold off. Now
another factor enters the situation.
No one will deny that the tempta
tion for the children to run out on
the floor is too great to be resisted.
After all, money dropping into their
hands like that is Manna—o• some
thing.
' Saturday night on active effort will
be made to keep the children from
'running out when the deluge of coins
starts. Should this fail, the children
will be burred from all future flee
hall contests.
Now do the thoughtless Spectator
see what their actions will cost th
young fans. By being smart—in it.
worst sense—the unfunny undergra
will be depriving the grade schoo
children of an opportunity to littera
Penn State indoor meets. We re
peat; the goodness of heart of th
Penn State student is unquestioned
We are sure that it will assert itsel
Saturday and prevent any drasti.

Athletics at Penn State takes the
first big step ahead in 1936 with the
inauguration of swimming as a var
sity sport. 'Saturday's meet with
Syracuse should be worth attending.
Coach Mahatma Galbraith has driven
those water-minded athletes until
they are in rare form. Predictions

Nittany Basketball Team Faces
West Virginia Squad Saturday
Night for Third League Game
Virginia Quintet Has Strong Offensive Play;
Lions Stand at Bottom of League.
By DICK LEWIS
Saturday night, the Penn tatebashetball team bolts into notion for its
:bird league to meet he Wcat Virginia mOuntain men ; in Recreation hall at
3::10
With Carnegie Tech's victory by two points keeping the Lions in list
dace in Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball' conference standings. the Nit-
:anymen take another pot at the League scoreboard.
The 31ounaineers have conquered Carnegie Tech; Carnegie Tech emit
leered the Nittanymen; but Saturday night's game is• n oconclusion, fore ,
:one or otherwise. West Virginia presents the toughest league competiion
;he Lions have stet to date.•
What the Crystal ReveaLs
Although this Swami-crystal-gaz
ing business tends to become hazard
ous when it comes to making advance
guesses as to future contests, we ven
ture to predict that, the Nittany Lion
basketball machine will give the on
coming Morgantowners a dose Of hard
basketball. For the Blue and White
has shown consistent improvement
under fire.
Earlier in the season, the Lions
took a 45-23 beating from the Pitt
Panthers. The Panthers fell before
Carnegie Tech 34-to-29. And last
game, the Nittanymen led the Tar
cans at the end of the first half; and
only a late Tech rally pulled the in
vaders into the lead to eke out a two
point victory, 32-to•30. All of Which
statistically represents a gain in
strength for the local five.
Penn State has won six and lost
three encounters with the men from
Morgantown in past scrimmages. Re
ports show that the West Virginians
have an iron-clad defense, and an all
around fast scoring combination.
Strictly interpreted this means noth
ing more than a hard game Saturday
night.
How They Stand
The Penn State quintet has won
four out of seven games played in
the season's schedule to date; lost two
league games and one non-league
game to Navy. This puts the Nittany
men up to a .570 season average.
This is how the conference teams
rate so far this season:

TLIE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
In view of this record, a number of
fans remain in doubt as to the Lion's
actual strength. A lot of people
around here, however, put their nick
els on
,Pennsylvania when the quin
tet journeyed down to the Palestra
last month, because Penn looked goo::
in the *tight of a long string of vic
tories over Lion cage teams. But the
Lions won. Then the Syracuse Orange
rolled into town with an impressive
record of busting the best. Eastern
teams wide open; and again the odds
were laid out of town.
The Nittanymen have made a slow
start into League competition, and
immediately the boys who . run the
opposing teams come to the conclu
sion that Penn. State isn't much to
worry about on account of Penn
State is at the bottom. This highly
unscientific method of rating a team
has its 'advantages—for the team so
rated. And so we cast most caution
into the nearest • winds and venture
to predict a surprise for a strong and
confident invading Mountaineer ag•
greation and' a bunch of spectators
who have been reading the papers and
who have already come to conclusions.

Big Ten Champs Meet
Sophomore Team:
Ropes Barred.
.111ints the' services of Captain Pete
Lektrich, the Penn' State. gymnastic
team will open their 1036 season Sat
urday. against Illinois, Big Ten cham
pions for the past . three . years. The
time of the meet has been delayed un
til 2:30 o'clock, and will take place
immediately after the freshman bas
ketball game; • •
According to . rules set up by the
Big Ten Athletic Association, the
events for the gymnastic meets do not
list a rope-climb. Because of this,
Coach Nels Welke has agreed to
strike this event from the program,
although the rope -climb is one of the
featured contests in eastern competi
tion. The barring. of this event
means that Captain.Lektrich will not
compete, and this is. a — severe blow to
the . Nittany gymnasts. Lektrich has
piled up an - impressive record in
three years of competition.
Leading the varsity gyMnasts will
be Sam Beck, and George Turwilling
2r, two of a group of four sophomores
that comprise the main strength of
the 1936 team. Besides Lektrich, oth
ir velerans on the squad are Ervin
Rohrbaugh and Ray Mattern.
Beck and Turwillinger will compete
an the horizontal bar and the paral
lels, with Ed' Burgener joining them
in the latter event. Rohrbaugh will
start on the horse' and the rings, with
Barry Garton, another sophomore, al
so entered on .the rings. Ray Mat
tern's event -is tumbling,.
The invading gymnasts from the
mid-west present one of the strong
!st teams the country. Foremost
nembers of -the Big Ten champions'
'quad are three men who are eonsid
red bright prospects .for :the 1936
.Olympics. These compete in the
tumbling event, on the- horizontal bar,
and the parallel bars.
