As it I didn't already know it,
4 ,million and one guys whom I
have suspiciously presumed are
all secret agents of gym coach
Gene Wettstone, have courteous
ly .informed me that the second
annual All-College Circus' will
get 'under way in Ree Hall this
Saturday night at eight.
!In keeping with and asa pie
vieW to the fmthconiing festivi
ties, I have asked the aforemen
tioned Mr. Wettstone - to wide a
few words in behalf of his brain

served 35 ,
Ws all yoUra Mr.' Weltatone,
I'll pick those comps up at the
box office. I
'Veil, it was way back in 1930
the Penn State Cneus began thrill
ing crowds at Recreation Hall. The
first performance was 'so well le
emved that it was immediately
destined to
.. .become an annual
event,' looked , toi ward -to by Stu
dents, , visttors,, and especially the
faculty of the College The Circus
has already 'established itself as
the , world's gi eatest collegmte
afaateur show
';The Penn State Co cus is the
only one of its kind in. this,section
of the. country It affords the op
portunity for many individuals to
use their talents, which would not
otherwise be recognized Students
who probably would never think
of. joining' travelling circus are
given
. a chance to perform then
intricate skills, not only for, their
own enjoyment but-for the benefit
of ,thrill-loving spectators
"There will be' 1.4 - displays In
cluding 28 acts Five fraternities
have entered skits *, The whole af
fair involves over 200'people Mu
sip will be in the style ,of Frank
Gullo's circus band and the suing
ensemble, directed by Mrs James
Wisden
'4‘ "Many of the featured acts
parallel the skill and difficulty
,of
the' best piofessional circus per
formances These events might be
seen at any ptofessmnal show the
high perch pole, aerial acrobatics,
hand to hand balancing, iron law
(supported only by the teeth 20
feet above the floor), 'juggling,
tight wn e. walking, and "rope spin
ning The adagio dancing and
sweet music of the string ensem
ble will lend an au of culture not
ordinarily found in other circuses

over the weekend to cancel the

belated start of the• campaign
against Gettysburg's Bullets on
the Varsity 'courts tomorrow af
ternoon, weather permitting
The small band of netmen led
by Coach Ted Roethke' left the

find the weather conditions in
Philadelphia and Bethlehem more
favorable td outdoor playing, but
unfortunately the ' three-day so;
Num proved useless With the
team's 1940 record remaining the
same, undefeated and untried
About , the only consolation of
the present tennis outlook is that
future opponents will be faced I:iy
the same handicap, lack of out
door practice The Lion racquet
wielders have high hopes of 'get
ting off'to a flying start and re
peating last year's 9-0 triumph.

Teams For Relays
Time Trials Satiirday
Aid Tentative Selection
Teams were tentatively selected
to compete in' the Drake and Penn
Relays this week-end as the result
of time_trials held on a water-cov
ered track Saturday
Coach Chick Werner decided
against adding to the Drake con
tingent of Barney Ewell and Nick
Vukmanic Ewell will enter the
100-yard dash and the broad lump,
and Vukmanic will hurl the Jaye
lin In the trials he showed a flash
of his old record-breaking form by
tossing the spear 201 feet despite
wet grounds which made footing
uncertain
Probable entries in-the Penn Re
lays include a two-mile relay team
of Max Peters, Dick Yohn, Jim
Williams, and Frank Maule Pe
teirs won the half-mile run Satur
day in 2 01 but was only a step
ahead of the others who finished
within two seconds of his time
The distance medley relay quar
tet will likely consist of Maule,
Yohn, Peters, and Van Hartman
Billy Smith and Len Henderson
will represent the Lions in the
two-mile race. Smith ran the event
in 10 minutes, 10 seconds Satur
day—excellent time considering
the adverse weather
Coming back strong after a 2-0
opening -defeat at-Princeton, - the
Lions have decisively overcome
Lehigh, Western Maryland, West
Virgule, and Syracuse, with Ed
Bastian garnering the season's
first shutout in subduing the Or
ange 3-0 Wednesday
Andy Tomasic, Owl sophomore
right-hander and promising malol
league material, may be the mound
artist to furnish a close pitching
duel against either Chuck Medlar
or Slim im Richardson, Joe Bed
enk's choices for hurling duties
today
"His only fault at present is
making pitches too good," says
Pep Young, Temple coach and
former Detroit Tigers second base
man, about the Owl fast ball artist
who throws one of the fastest balls
in collegiate competition
Penn State's lineup will be
slightly junibled for today's tilt
due to Art Seibel's arm injury fail
ing to respond to, treatment Bill
Debler, Lion center fielder, proba
bly will remain at Seibel's first
base position and John Ebersole,
sophomore outfielder, will take
over Debler's post
In five games the Lions, have
been showing very little hitting and
scoring power because of the worst
praCtice weather in years The
Nittany nine has relied on the
pitching of Bastian, Richardson,
and Medlar to keep their oppon
ents score low and has depend
ed upon the "Joe Bedenk" sys
tem of place bunting and daring
base stealing for runs
Ken Truhn leads the regular
lineup with a 294 batting average
while Doug Sherwin has scampered
safely to other bases four times
for basestealing honors

Varsity Golf Lineup
By STAN POKEMPNER
After whipping out a snow
swept 6-3 victory over the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh linksmen
Saturday on wintiy College links,
the Penn State varsity golfers are
looking forward to another con
quest when they meet Washington
& Jeffemon here tomorrow
l ii
If the theory that it they can
win in the wind, rain, and snow
that followed them around 18
holes Saturday, they can win any
day, holds water, the Lion golf
team should look well tomorrow
Coach Bob Ruthei ford Sr, how
ever as not wholly satisfied with
the 'lineup that conquered Pitt
and expects to make some changes
on the basis of play-offs today
'He pi obably will ietain co-cap
tains Kenny Klingensmith and
Bud Miller, Jack Bland, and Bill
Hubler, all of whom played Satur
day, but Bill LaPorte and Paul
Whitmoyer both will have to look
to their laurels today , Coadh
Rutherford adds that any of the
first four may be changed if other
candidates displace them in play
offs
With soaked greens wiecking
havoc with putts, and a stiff east
ern wind tossing chives around,
the golfers had a tough time get
ting around Saturday The last
two foursomes, caught in a snow
storm, came in looking like a
bunch of lost Russmns around
Lake Ladoga
In spite of the bad weather,
Penn State's co-captain Kenny
Klingensmith turned in a 78, low
score for the afternoon, defeating
Kramei, 4-2, for State's first point
State's co-captain Bud Miller tied
with Bob Seybold and best ball
for the foursome was also tied
The two points were split when
weather made fui ther play im
possible
State made a clean sweep of the
second foursome with Jack Brand,
Penn State, beating Geyer, 5-4,
Hublei, Penn State, defeating
Riley one up, and State taking
best ball
Bill LaPorte, Penn State, took
McClintock 2-I and Jim Kennedy,
Pitt, defeated Whitmoyer 3-2 in
the final foursome with Pitt.tak
ing best ball for a total of three
points to State's six

Coach Bob Higgins sent his gild

The only score of the Muddy

veteran Blue squad dommated the
play throughout, but a stubborn
Green defense and a slippery field

Following an exchange of punts
at the outset of the tilt, the Blues
took possession of the ball and
marched down the field Tom
Vargo gained 15 yards on an end

around his left flank for 15 mote
On the next play the regulars
came within scoring distance
when Bill Smelt/ passed to Krouse
for a 20-yard gain Here the at
tack furled out and four attempts
failed to covet the last ten, yards
Paced by the consistent gain of
Peters and Krouse, the Blues
made another futile drive later in
the game Peters outran the de
