The Lions
Members of next spring's lacrosse
team will have an added incentive
to work for. Acceptance of an invi
tation from England to send an all-
American team there for a series of
games next June has been accepted
by the U. S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse
Association, according to Coach Nick
Thiel, who attended a recent meet
ing of the group in New York.
tinder the present plan, England
is prepared to pay all but §3OO of
the expense of each man making the
trip. Assurances of support were re
ceived from Yale. Princeton, Syra
cuse, Penn and Cornell. Details of
the trip will be worked out by Lau
rie Cox of Syracuse. As members of’
Penn State teams have been picked
on All-American teams in the past,
it is probable that several of the Li
on stickmen will be considered for
next year's trip.

probably be necessary for the team
to compete in a game or two in order
to fully orient themselves to the new
system.
The Penn squacl, also, will be han
dicapped. Co-captain Franny Mur
ray, guard, and one of their best
players, will not be with the Red and
Blue, but will be returning from the
Pacific Coast where he is- to play on
New Year’s Day on Andy Kerr’s all
eastern football team. However, Bcb
Dougherty and Jim ltauze, also grid
men, are expected to join the squad
before the State game. Hauze is a
guard while Dougherty is a forward.
Lost to State
When Coach Lou Jourdet issued a
call for basketball candidates at Penn,
eight lettermen from last year’s team
returned. With a nucleus of this sort,
he has been able to build a team that
should keep their opponents stepping.
The Red and Blue quintet last year
won twelve games and lost nine. They
fell before the Lion squad with a
[score of 31-to-2G. It was State’s first
1 victory over Penn since 1923, when
they handed them a 30-to-23 defeat.
Last year’s victory was only the Li
ons’ sixth triumph of the twenty-six
game series which started in 1901.
Two of the high scorers in last year’s
fray, big Roy Menzel and Co-capt&in
Roger Hangar, 'are back again this
year. Menzel is a center and Han
gar a guard.

probably be the gym team’s number
one man on the horizontal bar this

George Terwilleger, a varsity man
last year, may return to school in
February, but he will have to fight it
cut with Runkle for that number one
man spot on the “high” bar.
With the first position practically
settled, two other men who look good
are Sam Beck and Franny Megrnil,
Who was a sophomore star in soccer.
The schedule has been definitely
arranged as follows: February 6
Army at West Point; February 13—

Varsity Swim
Team Defeats
Frosh, 46-20
Bunk Takes 2 Events;
McLaughlin Wins
Dive for *4O
Penn State’s varsity swim team de
feated the freshmen 4G-to-20 in a
meet at the Glennland Pool, Wednes
day night. '
Ken Bunk, a sophomore, defeated
Captain Jim£ Cumming in the first
event of the meet, the 220-yard free
style.. The race, a very-close’ one,
turned out to’ l be a-duel between the
two varsity men, Bunk winning in
the final yards! Ed Zachs and Jack
Fraicer, freshmen,.finished third and
fourth respectively.
The fancy... diving was won by a
freshman. Guy McLaughlin, who beat
Ray Parks and Marty Hart of the
varsity. .McLaughlin has a fine rec
ord, being unbeaten in practice com
petition so far.
The 440 yard free-style and the
200-yard back-stroke were clean
sweeps for the varsity with Bob Hol
den winning the former, and Captain
Cumming and Dick Geiger turning
back the yearlings in the latter.
Charlie Welch, another second year
man, took a close one from the fresh
man, Edgar McClintock and A 1 Bech
tel, of the varsity, in the 50-yard free
style. Welch, starting slowly, came
from behind to nip the leaders at the
finish.
The varsity had the 100 yard free
style all to themselves when Ken
Bunk, Bill Helriegel, and Floyd
Quick finished in the order named.
Bunk, finding himself in strong com
pany, won only tlivough a last min
ute sprint.
The varsity relay team put on the
best show of the evening, Using Cum
ming, Welch, Bill Helriegel and
Quick, the varsity found one of its
strongest combinations which should
prove troublesome to Lion opponents
in the future.

Bob Galbraith said although many of
his men were on the sick list, he was
well satisfied .with his teams and is
sued instructions for the mermen to
keep in condition over the holidays.

Observatory Camera
Ready for Placement
The new astrograph camera presen
ted to the College by the Class of *36
has just been completed, according
to Dr. Henry L. Yeagley of the School
of Chemistry and Physics. It has been
declared by Dr. Harlow Shaply of
Harvard to be one of the best of its
kind.
The camera will be installed in the
new observatory whiiji is nearing
completion. The - observatory, now a
permanent fixture on the roof of
Buckhout Laboratory, will be formally
opened shortly after the Christmas
recess. '
This observatory will co-operate
with six others in the country in
studying the variable star fields. The
information gathered by this obser
vatory will' be ‘ sent to Harvard'and
studied along with tlhe other reports.
The purpose of having more than one
observing is to insure visability on
nights when visability is needed, and
it is thought that, there will be at
least one place where the star field
•may be studied each night.
