Penn State Mat1rlen
Champs Five Times
in Seven Years

STATE COLLEGE, Pa.
March 31.-When Penn State
wrestlers won the intercol-
legiate championship at New
Haven last Saturday they not
only completed the 1924 season
without defeat, but they add
ed toJa mat record that will
rank with the greatest. Since
Penn State was admitted to the
intercollegiate wrestling asso-
citation, in 1918, the Nittany
Lions have won the title five
out of seven years. In the
other two years they took sec
ond place to Cornell.
In 1918, the first year in the
tournament, Penn State made
such sweep of the champion
ships that it has never been
equaled. The Blue and White
matmen took first place in six
out of the seven classes, and
only failed in the remaining
class because of any injury re-
ceived in the preliminary round.
Penn State also took first
honors in 1919. 1920 and 1921;
took second place in 1922 and
1928, and came back to the
title with three individual
champions in 1924.
A draw with the Navy was
the nearest that the team came
to defeat this year.
The Washington times., 1924-04-01

When Bucky Harris endeavored
to obtain Johnny Mostil from the
White Sox he found he could
swing the deal if he would turn
over Zachary. He thought it over
and then called it off.
II think Zach can be a consistent
winner, if handled properly" ex-
plains the Griffs' new manager.
Though he is a big fellow, he
needs a full rest between games.
After looking at what we have
faced this spring down here, from
practically every club, am con.
WINGED that a slow ball is a good
thing to have.
Zach, despite his size, does
not begin to have the speed some
big men have. But he can develop
a good slow ball. That's what
Jack Chesbro is now trying to
teach him. If Zach can get a
good slow ball, mixed with his
fast ball and curve, he should be
doubly valuable. It will make his
fast ball seem all the faster for
the contrast"
So Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary
is laboring each and every day to
acquire a change of pace. His
teacher, "Old Folks" Chesbro.
was a master Of this art in his
day and is certaian that he can
make Zach a dangerous PROPOSE
ton before the season is far adj
vanced.
