'Screwy' Titles, Weird Arrangements
Tag Raymond Scott as Mystery Man
To many, Raymond Scott, who
will play at Interfraternity
on March 27, is a mystery , becaust
of his uniquely-titled, surrealistic
dance arrangements. Not even
his most devout fans u feel that they
have "figured out." But Scott
says he can't understand this.
His orchestra is of 'normal;size
—l3 musicians plus Scott and
vocalists Billy Leach and Dorothy
Collins. It has the correct num
ber of brass, reed, , and rhythm.
But there ends the band's similar
ity to any other orchestra.
Using unusual tonal effects
which haVe been called "futuris
tic" and "ultra-modern," Scott and
his orchestra play both original

Phi Sigma Kappa Elects
Robert H. Roy '43 was elected
president of Phi Sigma Kappa at
elections Monday evening. Other
officers chosen were John T. Gary
'44, vice-president;. George S. Roy
'43:treasurer; C. Philip Moore Jr.,
secretary; Peter Scott '45, sentinal;
Elwood R. Hendrikson '43, induc
tor; and C. Eugene Cassel '44, soc
ial chairman.
Scott compositions and the day's
popular tunes. The band's style
calls for a "different" introduc
tion, which flows into the melody
of the tune and results in a lilting
danceable rhythm. Scott's "radi
cal" arrangements immediately
identify his music, and whether
it be 'an original or a "pop," it
has the Scott touch.
Among Scott's better-known
numbers are "In a Subway Far
From Ireland" "Huckleberry
Duck," "War Dance for Wooden
Indians," "Toy Trumpet," "Din
ner Music for a Pack of Hungry
Cannibals," "Eighteenth Century
Drawing Room," and "Power
house."

Team Title; Three
Lions Take Honors
Fighting Nittany Lions roared
their way through a maze of pros
pective champions and upset fav
ored Pqnn to stalk off with the
coveted Eastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association team title
at the annual. classic held in Rec
Hall last weekend.
Three Penn State men emerged
as individual champions quaffified
to represent the EIWA in the grap
pling Nationals at Michigan State
on March 27-28.
Captain Glen Alexander, 145-
pounds; Charlie Ridenour, 121-
pounds; and Sam Harry, 128-
pounds; took first plaCes while
contributing to the team score of
30 points which gave the Speidel
men the first team title since 1937
and the ninth since 1918.
Although Penn managed to en
ter five men in the finals, two of
whom met Nittany grapplers, the
Penn State squad placed enough
second and third place winners to
outpoint the Quakers' 23 counters.
Ralph Sayre, rugged 165-pound
Lion' matman, and 175-pound Bob
Morgan forged through for sec
ond place posts. Mike "double
bubble" Kerns, heavyweight,
walked off with the only Blue
and White third place.
Navy, rated as a pre-tourney
runner-up with Penn State, match
ed the Nittany squad by snagging
three individual championships
but acquired only 17 points 'to take
third place.-
In the 121-pound championship
final . Charlie Ridenour, fiery de
fender of the Lion's only 1941
title, defeated Carl Sparke, pre
viously unbeaten in dual competi
tion, 9-2.
Ridenour went right to work
