Penn State to Shatter
Its Own Athletic jinX

State College, Pa. Jan. Sit seems
to DO quite fashionable FOR every college
10 have a INK IT. the shape OF some
other institution, and when Il comes ~
j!nXes, Penn State has hers in the Navy
at least such was the case during the
last year. With the placing OF the mid
shipmon on the varsity football schedule
Tor next fall. State students are wonder
!ns II the old jinx will prove too much
for Hugo Bezdeks eleven.
Penn State athletic teams lost only
ten contests last year and the Navy
boxers lost only one tilt--to Navy. The
w-cStlrrs came through every meet sue
ressfully. save one--with Navy. The
baseball team lost but three contests -
and again did tho Navy prove one of the
stumbling blocks. Then the lacrosse
team went on Southern "trip, beat
Maryland State. and iost--to the Nav
So It is hard to convince Penn State
students that the Navy was not jinA
during 1920.
However new year has begun, and
the Blue and White athletes are resolv-
ed 10 shatter the old j!nX this year.
The first meeting Will come next month
when the boxers travel 20 Annapolis.
and then on March IL the wrcstlers will
also make the trip.
All Of last years contests took place
ut the home of the midshipment, but the
opening OF football relations next fall
will mark n change in policy. The 1921
contest will be played in philadelphia,
while Penn State will journey 70 Aa-
napolis Tor the game In 1922.

Crrom the CIV York Tribune

That the United States and England
are gradually coming together on the
subject of uniform lawn tennis rules is
Indicated by reports received yesterday
N this country concerning tho annual
meeting o: the English Lawn Tennis
Association IN London.
During the meeting OF the British
body 4 spirited debate arose over the
question of changing the present foot
fault rule. A Mr.. Moncton suggested
the adoption Of a new rulc that would
put penalty on the service as an ct-
tcctIvc weapon OF attack by making Il
compulsory for the server to keep hoiS
teet on the ground.
This proposal was not well received
in Enc!and. :; being pointed out by M.
Moncton's opponents that Il would be
