To Set A New World's Rope Climbing Record
By DICK PETERS
What started out to be a nice, friendly little gymnastics meet,
may turn Rec Hall into a powderhouse tonight when Gene Wett
stone's varsity and freshman an-crobats, broken down into four class
teams, tangle in the first annual inter-squad tournament at 7 30
A freshman team, strongest in the history of the sport here, say
they can't miss winning the plaque to be given the top-scoring team
tonight With several ex-high school champs in their lineup, the 1943
representatives will call upon Ed Trybala, Lou Bordo, John Wolf,
Bill Detrick, Chuck Sorber, Art Hand, Rod Dietrick, Bob Edgerly,
Jack Teti, Sol Small, Jack Krauss, and Warren Beck to bear their
+ + +
hopes.
Led by Roman "The Man on
the Flying Trapeze" Pieo, who
will attempt to set an official
world's record m the rope-ebrab-
Ong event, the juniors are already
telling the world how they've got
the trophy cinched. Billy Lewis
and Ben Stahl are two other jun
iors who will help the "jack of
all tricks" Rim who is entered
in every event but tumbling
The seniors, who make up most
of the present varsity, will count
heavily on the experience of Cap
tain Merrill Beck, George Terwil
liger, Stan Feldman, Chuck Gil
lespie, Elmer Weaver, Will Ward
and Herb Shmukler.
Sophomores Pessimistic
Only the sophomores are pes
simistic about the whole thing,
but said yesterday that they
might prove a dark horse. Charley
Senn, Bill Loeber, Walt Lowry,
Ranny Andreas, and George Sum
ner, will carry the second-year
men's colors into tonight's four
way tussle
Officials for the meet will be
Sanford Atwood, Bob Galbraith,

be in the 5 for first place, 4 for

Examination File Being
Assembled For Student
Use, Announces Finkle
An examination file being pre
pared for student use will not be
ready this semester, David Finkle
'4l, chairman of the committee
which is undertaking the project
for the Independent Party an
nounced yesterday.
Faculty members were asked
this week to send copies of their
semester examinations to the Col
lege Library where the file is be
ing assembled for use beginning
second semester.
The file is being started, Finkle
said, because "most fraternities
already have examination records
in their houses. We feel that
similar records should be made
available to all students."
The plan has peen discussed
with the Council of Administra
tion which raised no objection to
the cooperation of any individual
faculty inemPer.

The first examination of this

are kept open for several years,
but in this examination a new
register will be formed each year.
Starting salaries are $2,000 a
yeai in this grade, but thole are
also some openings at $l,BOO and
$1,620 a year for those willing to
accept these rates, which allow
equally good opportunity for pro

PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Gym Meet Is Set For Tonight
e Eggiel
By PAT NAGELBERG '42
You can have your Kinnicks, and
O'Brien, and Burkes who have
been hogging the sports pages of
1939 but the athletes who ' won
and are still winning the greatest
fights are men like Don Herring,
the Princeton lad who had a leg
amputated after a football injury,
and Edgar McClintock, of Penn
State
The name McClintock is pro
bably unfamiliar to most students
but the class of 1940 remembers
him well "Eggie" came here in ,'36
from P S. Dupont High School in
Wilmington, where he was the star
athlete, and captained the football
and swimming teams. A big strap
ping six-foot 185 pounder, McClut
tock clinched an end position on
the yearling eleven and his crash

Leo Steals The Ref's Story
But, Who Cares, It's Good stuff -
-—. , -
Charlie Shott Says The Good Doctor Houck
Could Lick Billy Conn Mas Best College Team
4t was an interview with Referee Charlie Short but it was a story
about Leo Houck and the good old days of boxing
If Leo, the exmiddleweight champion of Europe and Cuba, were
boxing today he could lick Billy Conn even if Conn had six hands
Take Short's word for it
And take Short's word for somr'
Penn State and Leo Houck have the
mg team, not always champions - 13M
team
Short should know. He has,a
record of his own as a fighter and
a referee The third man in - the
ring when Penn State met West
ern Maryland Tuesday, he, an
nually covers the whole nation re
fereeing the best collegiate boxing
bouts, always having bids to re
feree more fights than he can Sac
cept.
Short and Leo boxed about the
same time, starting shortly after
the turn of the century and still
lighting as time lumbered into the
Twenties
If ever a voice smiled, Short's
did on Tuesday night as he satmi
the intense heat of Rec liWs
coaches dressing room and reFall
ed the good old days of boxing.,
"Give the boy a story about
your fights," Leo told Short,
pointing out the lad who had gist
sidled into the room. -
Shore smiled, "Leo's your story
I've known him since 1914 and
Penn State'll never get anybody
any better. Why, Leo could—"
(and you've already been told
about that)
Leo shuffled. "Naw, that's
stuff. Tell him about your
fights "
Short swung into action at ttUtt,
and the stories came fast, the
stories that are behind the third
man in the ring, the fellow who is
noticed only when there's an un
popular decision.
Stories of all sorts ... of 23 20-
round fights before he was '2O
years old ... of battling the great
lightweight Midget Wolgast
Bavaria and landing two punches
in 10 rounds while Wolgast land
ed "millions and made me dizzy"
. .of a bout in Juarez, Mexico, in
1914 that Pancho Villa's rebel
army interrupted to take 60 per
cent of, the gate . . . of fighting
10 rounds in the rain, making
himself a case for a doctor mid
he doesn't know how many
stitches, walking through three
inches of water to the ring, and
taking $11.40 as his share of the
gate . .of 20 years in the ring
fighting aly the best boys but
never winning the' title . . . of
,years after he retired, running a
Baltimore sporting goods store,
traveling ,to every corner of the
nation during the winter to re
feree the best collegiate fights
and a great many top notch pro
battles . . . and of, his airplane
which he - flies himself to keep en
gagements but left home this
week because of the icy weather.

Wide Poll Shows
Student Opinion Survey
Indicates Major Approval
By Student Opinion Surveys
AUSTIN, Texas, January 18
Should the United States have to
mobilize, many of its Army offi
cers will come from the ranks of
college men, and a draft would
call undergraduates at an early
stage Long a subject of contro
versy in legislatures and in bull
sessions, the advisability of mili
tary training on the campus as
sumes new significance with war
again in Europe.
What is the tenor of opinion
on the ROTC today among
those young people - for whom
this military training in intend
ed, who will have to join the
battle lines in case of war? Na
tional student opinion on this
matter has never before been
known with scientific accuracy.
The Student Opinion Surveys
of America, cooperating with
the Penn Slate Collegian and
nearly 150 other college news
papers, presents it for the first
time.
An OVERWHELMING NUM
' BER OF STUDENTS-86 PER
CENT- 7 FAVOR ROTC TRAIN
ING.
In its most extensive research
poll the Surveys has yet attempt
ed, interviewers from coast to
coast were assigned to ask this
question of a mathematical cross
section of collegians representing
every institution of higher learn
ing in the nation, "Do you be
lieve ROTC military training—
either compulsory or voluntary—
should be taught in colleges and
universities—or do you believe it
should not be taught at all" The
Surveys found approval every
where, with these variations
I Although a good majority are
- in favor in every section of
, the country, the largest num
ber of dissenters—one fifth in
each case—was found in- the
East Central and West Central
states. _
2 Only 4 per cent more women
, than men are opposed to the
ROTC
3. Military training is most pop
ular in schools where it is Vol
' untary, least where it is not
taught at all
4 Of students who approve, well
1 over half believe it should be
.voluntary only
