Production Of ‘The Dybbuk’
Presents Woes To Director
“ ‘The Dybbuk’ must have been a
difficult play to adapt; almost as dif
ficult as-to produce. A stilled word,
an exaggerated wrench away from
the softly clanking honesty of its Yid
dish original, might have degraded
the whole magnificence of its brooding
mood”—this was' the observation
made by Gilbert W. Gabriel,.-noted
Broadway drama critic.
These, and other difficulties, hove
presented themselves to -Director
Frank S. Neusbaum and the excep
tionally targe Penn State Players’

of the 'large cast'itself (over fifty dif

Johnstone Claims Old Medti
“Provided the color is restrained, Old Jlain would bo an ideal setting
for campus murals,” said Prof. 18. K. Johnstone, head of Lite department of
architecture, in answer to-lhosc who have expressed doubt as to the suita
bility of Old IVluin for mural decoration.
U A mural well done has never spoiled any building." he continued, “and
a good artist can be expected to handle his work so that it becomes an in
tegral part of the
scheme. This Georgian type of archi
tecture has a precedent in murals in
the Williamsburg, Va., restoration
project. The fresco medium is an in
surance against garishness for fresco
tends to soften the colors.”
Johnstone explained that fresco is
the more desirable base because it is
no more expensive than oil paintings
would be, and has the added feature
that students would be able to watch
the artist at work. Fresco is also
more permanent besides being a soft*
er medium, he said.
“If murals arc to be put anywhere
on the campus, Old Main should be
iirst. The wall in the main lobby is
an ideal setting, and it is something
the lobby needs,” Johnstone, staled.
“No spot on the campus lends itself
so well to mural painl'ng.
“From the standpoint of visibility
and view, the composition of the j
stairway makes a pbrfeeL setting, and
no spot is seen more’often by the
students,” he went on. "The open
archway is an expedient the archi
tect lias resorted to and shows that
he felt something should be done
with this central portion, proving th*iL
the wall at the landing is ideal for
the central thought of the mural
theme.”

By TOM BOAL
Alhrco-way fight for the fif
teenth annual intercollegiate
boxing championships opening
tonight has developed as a re
sult of Army’s strong shuwmg
this season and may mean that
permanent possession of the
Baltimore Sun trophy will not
be decided this, year. Only pos
siblc permanent possessors are
Syracuse and Penn State who
each have four legs out of trie
necessary five. Although Syra
cuse is the top heavy favorite,
Army and Penn State .have been
given outside chances to cop the
tourney.
. Penn Stale’s chances of winning
the meet rests on-the showing of Mike
Cooper in the IJS pound class, AI
.Taimian.-at -125. Roy -Hanna In the ,
135 pound division,'and flebcr Lek
sig in the 1(15 pound weight. Cap
tain .Sammy Donato is rated as the
favorite to win in his class. To win
the meet four of these will have to
win with the other three placing, at
least third in their classes.
Twenty bouts arc scheduled for to
night's card and the results of these
fights may well decide champions.
Opening the program is the bout be
tween Cadet Lavandusky of Army
and Odell Osteen of Western Mary
land. Competing also in the 1.15
pound class will be Mike Cooper-of
Penh State and Heinz Voight of

in last year’s dual meet with the 'Big
Red. Coaching the Cornell team' Is
Allie Wolff, former Penn ;State cap
lain and three times E. I. B. A.
champion. Wolff was just named on
Leo Houck's all Lime, all-star Penn
State team.
Cadet ‘Chambers of Army, who de
feated AI Tapman last week, will mix
it with George Tammany of Syra
cuse as the other match in this
weight. Tapman took second place in
the 1937 fights and Chambers was the
third place man.
•Favored to jwin in the 135 pound
class is Syracuse's popular captain,
Fred Zuccaro, runner-up in last
year’s meet. Zuccaro will meet John
Tausig of Cornell in the preliminary
match. Charles Wright of Yale and
Charles O’Connor of Dartmouth will
also meet in this weight with Cadet
Chambers of Army and Roy Hanna
of Penn Slate completing the bouts
in this class.
Mastrella Favorato At 115 Pounds
Johnny Mastrella, Syracuse’s 145
pound intercollegiate champion will
encounter Paul T.horpe of Dartmouth
as the first hurdle In his race to re
gain his crown. Bill Bender, one of
Western Maryland’s four entries,
meets Cadet Hull of Army at the
same weight with Paul Bachman of
Penn State slugging with Ira Wilson
of Cornell to complete the evening's
competition in that weight.
Captain Sammy Donato, 193 G 145-
pound champion and ruilner-up in
the 1937 competition is the top-heavy
favorite to cop the'lss pound title.
Sammy first meets Bob Eckel of
Dartmouth und then byes to the fin
als. In the same weight Art Miller
of Yale encounters Elwood Andrews
of Western Marylund with Stanley
Kishmun of Syracuse battling it out
against Cadet Robert York of the
Army.

man to win. Fink’s biggest competi
tion will come from Heber Lesslg of
Penn State who meets him in the
preliminaries. James Weaver of
