Rain Washes Out Track Team Takes Shape
Mushball. Games; For Lone Summer Meet
THE, DU Wind Up
Rain called a halt to last night's
scheduled IM mushball battles
as eight teams waited in vain for
the State College "dew" to step.
Today's schedule has been slight
ly revised as a result, but no
games will be played over the
weekend.
Warfare will again break out
in earnest next week as Frater
nity league teams head for the
wire in what may be the last lap
for many of them. Finales have
already been recorded in Sec
tions 1 and 3, with Tau Kappa
Epsilon 'and Delta Upsilon reign
ing triumphant.
The Fraternity setup, according
to Bob Redmount '44, • manager,
states that all first place teams
in the various sections will play
among themselvei to decide the
champion, with runners-up being
decided from the losers in the
play offs.
TOday's schedule follows. All
other postponed games not run
off today will be decided on Mon
day.

Riding Club T'o Give
Special Summer
Session Lessons
"A special set of instructions
will be giv.p..d . „to Summer session
students who are interested in
horseback riding," stated Eugene
S. Stull •'43, president of the Penn
State Riding -Club.
The change' 3 to this plan, ac
cording to Mr: Stull, is a radical
one in comparison to those of
previous years. 'Formerly, only
Summer session students who
could already- ride were allow
ed to join the club, but the new
special instruction plane will en
able the beginner to try his hand
at mastering a - horse.
An organization meeting will
be held at the Stock Judging Pa
vilion at. 7 p. rn. tonight, when
the activities of the club - will
be discussed and an exhibition
put on for those present.
The riding club, with Dr. Hen
ry L. Yeagley as sponsor and Ray
M. Conger as financial advisor,
has been successful in keeping
the cost of membership station
ary, despite the increase in cost
of feed and horses. The Summer
fee, which is $5, for membership
and $lO for . the
s riding charge, is
the same as that of preceding se
mesters.
With the acquitition of a stable
located 200 yards east of Ather
ton Hall and the opening of
numerous new trails leading far
into the surrounding country, rid
ing for the members Das become
more convenient, pleasurable,
safer. A 'riding
.ririg has. recent
ly been made within the stable
grounds, with - the possibility of
a white fence being made to en
close it.
