By MARV KRASNANSKY
A near-capacity crowd of 1100
packed Schwab auditorium last
night for the 12-act 11th annual
Penn , State Club Talent show.
John Cox, a funny man at
times, handled the chore of mas
ter of ceremonies, assisted by the
Frustrated Four, George Eyrich,
Dick Kerwin, Eugene Raup, and
Thomas Stabler.
. The crowd was told that there
was an outside chance that the
winner of the show would be
given a chance to appear on the
Arthur Godfrey Talent show.
Noel Peterson and Frederick
Humphreys, 'running under the
name Pete and Muggs, had diffi
culty getting the audience to
laugh with a comedy act that
started the show.
Janice Berg, lovely blonde so
prano, did a workmanlike job
rendering "Some Day," and "Be
My Love."
Accordionist Stan Meyers won
long applause with his versions
of "If." and "Dark Eyes," the lat
ter a jazzed-up version.
Edward Rolf, a deep-voiced,
confident baritone, won the ap
proval .of the audience with his
performance of "On the Road to
Mandalay," and the old-time
favorite; "Old Man River."
The Troubadors, Herky Alli

Myers, and Gordon Seward, a
clever quartet, combined comedy,
pantomine, and music to the de

performed "Coney Island Baby,"
"Dear Old Girl," and "Why the
Roses Grow." The last was an im
personation of the Ink Spots.

Charley Speidel and Bill Jef
frey, two of the outstanding col
legiate coaches in the country,
will be honored for their 'service
to Penn State tonight in Recrea
tion hall when they are presented
with sterling silver table bowls
by Blue Key, junior hat society.
Speidel, now completing his
25th year as wrestling coach, and
Jeffrey, who capped his 25th sea
son as soccer coach by guiding
the Lions to a national champion
ship, are deans of the coaching
staff. Both came to State in 1926,
and like 01' Man River have been
jus' rollin' along.
Wrestlers Meet Navy
Now in the midst of his 25th
season, Speidel will send his
wrestlers in quest of their seventh
straight win of the season when
they tangle with Navy this after
noon at 2 p.m. in Recreation hall.
The current Lion mat team is a
strong favorite to cop the Eastern
title. But winning teams are noth
ing new to Speidel, the gnarled,
wise-cracking vet er an of the
mats.
Three other Speidel-coached
teams have won Eastern laurels,
and nine other teams had but one
loss. In compiling the amazing
record of 120 wins against dnly 37
defeats and 8 ties, Speidel's teams
have won 73 per cent of their
meets. He has coached 32 individ
ual Eastern titleholders.
Jeffrey's Record
One of the most colorful fig
ures on campus, Jeffrey, the
comical Scotsman, has given his
opponents little to laugh about.
In 25 years Jeffrey-coached teams
have won 76 per cent of their'

Freshman Customs End
Following 17-Day Period
Freshman customs will end at 8 a.m. today.
Neil See, chairman of Tribunal, announced the end of the cus
toms period yesterday, releasing 61 frosh from the regulations im
posed on them Feb. 7.
The hazing period was considerably shorter this semester than
it was in the fall, in compliance with suggestions received from the
men who went through customs
then, See said.
Hazing Requirements
The men were required to wear
dinks, name cards, and black bow
ties for only 17 days this semes
ter, compared with 41 days in
the fall.
"This customs . period could have
been better," See said, "but due
to the small number of men this
semester, the regulations were
harder to enforce."
He remarked that the frosh
hatmen "polo" game, won by the
hatmen, 2-0, was one of the high
lights of the 17 day period.
Good-Natured Competition
See said that he hoped that
some such event would be in
cluded in all the customs pro
grams in the future. Events of
this type helped to create a sense
of good-natured competition be
tween the first-year men and the
hatmen, "policemen" Of the cus
toms rules, according to See.
Recommendations of or next
year's program will be left with
Tribunal, the enforcing body for
customs, he said. Chief among
them will be a suggestion that
the period of hazing be kept
short, possibly about three or freir
weeks.
Canterbury Club
To Hold Discussion
The topic for discussion at this
week's meeting of the Canterbury
club will be "Christianity With
out God." This discussion is one
of a series of Lenten talks based
on questions of the Christian
faith.
The meeting is scheduled for
6:30 p.m. at the St. Andrews' par
ish house and will follow the new
coffee hour procedure with fac
ulty guests.

New Material
Being Accepted
For 'lnkling'
Material for the Inkling, new
literary magazine, will be accept
ed immediately, Florenz Fenton,
managing editor of the publica
tion, announced yesterday.
He stressed that the magazine
would not be staff-written, but
that the staff would serve as an
editorial board for the work of
the-student body. Fiction, poetry,
art, and special photographs is
what Inkling is interested in for
the first issue which is being
planned for publication in April,
Fenton said.
Students who wish to submit
material to the magazine may
have it considered by the editorial
board and its faculty advisors by
leaving it at the Student Union
desk in Old Main.
Financial backing on the part
of some student groups has en
abled the staff to make plans for
the first issue. Previously the
staff had difficulty gaining finan
cial aid.
Financial support is needed be
cause the magazine is not being
planned as a completely commer
cial venture, Fenton said. He add
ed that Samuel Vaughan, editor,
and other staff members studied
the business situation thoroughly
before deciding to publish.
