Among The Missing
Hockey Team
Meets Dukes
In Johnstown
A much wiser and more experi
enced Nittany hockey team will
take the ice against Duquesne in
Johnstown at 8 p m tomorrow aft
er two successive setbacks at the
hands of semi-pro sextets in Hunt
ington and Charlestown, W Va ,
last week-end Tomorrow's tilt
will be played in the new Shaffer
Ice Palace against one of the best
college outfits in Pennsylvania
The Dukes at present are hold
ing down second place in the fast
Penn-Ohio League which includes
college teams from the area of
Pittsburgh and Cleveland This
will be the first meeting of the two
teams and will provide a fair cri
terion for judging the comparative
strength of the Penn-Ohio League
and the Pennsylvania Intercollegi
ate Hockey League of which ttz.
Lions are members
Starting Line
Coach Art Davis has indicated
that his starting lineup will be
slightly scrambled but has stated
that the likely men to open the
tilt will be Lightbody at goal,
Pearly Gates, Ray Margerum, and
Steve Matula on the first line, with
Scrappy Dowler and' George Wol
bert on defense This combina
tion has proved the strongest, and
since Oscar Smith, stellar right de
fense is no longer in college, Dow
ler has moved back from the line
and Gates has resumed his old post
at center
Manager William E Stohldrier
'4O stated yesterday that if State
wins the next two league games,
the team will be eligible to com
pete in a round-robin tournament,
for the league trophy The next
game slated for the Hershey Sports
Arena is with Lafayette February
27
Commenting on the team's show
ing against supci ior teams in West
Virginia, Coach Art Davis said
that he thought the team played
its best games of the season de
spite losing 14-2 to Huntington and
0-3 to Charlestown Outstanding
on this trip, he said, were Peany
Gates, Scrappy Dewier, Jack
Bachman and Steve Matula

this bout may have the spectators
rolling in the aisles
After a year's leave in the South
American Jungles, Harlan Dan
ner, Ann Arbor ace, will repre
sent the Wolverines in the 155-
pound class After his masterful
exhibition against Lehigh last
Saturday, Roy Gensler proved
that he has thrown off his recent
Illness and should be in shape for
a battle at the 155 slot
Scale° Tries Comeback
Joe Scalzo will attempt to get
back into the winning column
when he tackles Joe Paup, run
ner-up for the Michigan A A U
title in the 195-pound contest
Scalzo lost a close decision to Le
high's herald Harold Masem for
his only loss of the year.
Jim Galles of Michigan and
Chuck Rohrer of the Blue and
White Avill provide the excite
ment at the 165 pounds. Galles
holds the Michigan .A A. U.
crown, but as usual, Rohrer can
be depended upon to give a good
account of himself.
Atter dropping a close decision
against Lehigh, Lion Dave Waite
should come bouncing back when
he meets Jim Butler in a speedy
1213-pound tilt.
Pointing for his sixth straight
victory this year Eastern Inter
collegiate champion Frank Glea
son will tangle with Al Sargeant,
Wolverine junior, in ,the 136-
pound tussle.

Snow Is Deep, But Town
Has Known Deeper Ones!
When the recent warm spell broke Tuesday afternoon with a re
sounding snap and left State College blanketed with more than a foot
of snow, old timers recalled the last "big snow" of 1928 when Junior
Prom imports were forced to prolong their stay after 18 05 inches of
• snow had been recorded
Thus far the short, but concen
bated snow storm which began
early this week has resulted in a
snow fall which climbed to 14
inches according to Prof Clinton.
O Cromer, in ,charge of the
weather records in the School of
Agriculture.
In addition to providing the
weather bureau with reams of re
cords and statistics, a heavy snow
fall over a short period of time
also presents a serious practical
problem to the department of
grounds and buildings
