SPLENDID SPORT
SCHEDULE FOR
STATECOLLEGE
Coach Bczdek Will Have Va
riety of Material For
Athletics
State College, Pa., Jan. 4.—Despite
the war changes of the last year,
Pennsylvania State has made a satis
factory showing in college sports.
The football eleven defeated Lehigh,
lost to Pittsburgh and Rutgers, and
tied the Wissahickon Barracks team.
As State did not have a single vet
eran player in the squad, the defeats
suffered at the hands and the
Jersey men, both with eight regulars
of last year in their ranks, were not
unexpected.
Penn State will not lack for ma
terial for its eleven next fall, in spite
of the fact that Frank Unger, cap
tain of this year's team, will be grad
uated in June. He is the only player,
expected to leave, and to make up
for his loss the Blue and White is
counting upon the return of n dozen
or more former players from the
service.
Lieutenant Bob Higgins is coming
back from France. Cubbage, O'Don
nell. Beck and Jones are duo shortly
from Italy, and Way. Bentz, Snell,
Oeliring and Brown will leave train
ing camps in time to enter college
when the next academic term opens,
January 27. Lieutenant Harry Robb
and ex-Captatn Larry Conover also
will re-enter college and don their
moleskins next season.
The material that will he available
for Hugo Bezdek next autumn should
make it possible for him to continue
the development of the sport at State
College on the same high plane that
existed here before he came. As the
situation is at present the regulars
of the 1918 team who will bo back
next season are Grimes, left end;
llayes and Farley, left tackle. Logue,
left guard. MacKenzie, center; I. W.
Brown, right guard; Henry, right
tackle; G. W. Brown, right end; Wil
liams, quarterback; Lumberg, left
halfback; and Millinger and Knabb,
right halfbacks.
Wrestling should show a great de
velopment during the remaining
months of the year, and as that sport
is an admirable builder of football
linemen, it will aid Bezdek next fall.
Coach Howard Yerger, who assisted
the football team, will direct the
work of the intercollegiate mat
champions. Ho has a big squad al
ready .entered on the lists, and he
looks for llayes, the varsity left
tackle in the Pittsburgli game, to de- ;
velop into a first-class heavyweight'
grappler.
No plans have been formulated for
track activities, nor have the work
ing arrangements for baseball been
made, but alumni are interested in
the subject and an announcement I
may be made in the near future. It is ;
probable that some one other than j
Bezdek will coach the nine, for he I
has announced that he will leave ■
here about April 1 to handle his ma- j
Jor league baseball club.
The results of the S. A. T. C., as in
most other institutions, has helped
athletics greatly. State's system of
mass athletics doubtless will be con
tinued throughout the college year,
although no official announcement
has come from the authorities. While
the student-soldiers were under the
military regime there was no trouble
in inforcing the compulsory partici
pation in athletics.

Jack Dempsey Ging
Abroad to Fight
Georges Carpentier
Georges Carpentier, French
heavyweight, will shortly be re
cused from service, and he has
promised to come over here and
tackle the Yank brand of fighters.
But advices from Trenton say that
Jack Dempsey Is so impatient to
try out the Frenchman that as
soon as he can get passports he
will be on his way abroad.
Dempsey is showing at Trenton
in the Camp Dlx Theater via a
musical show. His appearance
caused a great reception, in the
course of which the champion
he wanted to meet Carpentier. It
lis believed that such an interna
tional contest would attract great
attention and creat much interest
both hero and in France. Car
pentier is the idol of the French,
and it has often been said that he
ranks in their estimation with
Napoleon, Joffre and Foch.

red; and in the west country of the
Winkies, where the Tin Woodman
rules, everything is yellow."
"Oh!" said Jack. Then, after a
pause, he asked "Did you say a Tin
Woodman rules the Winkies?"

Scouts, we have been carry sticks
long enough and want to get a gun?
Pa says it lb more manly.
Philadelphia. G. Y. F.
Answer: Public sentiment will
eventually fit you out. with guns. The
consensus at this time is to change
from staff to gun and incorporate
-universal military training in the
schools. "In time of pouce prepare
for war." Up to tho minute pre
paredness does not invite but dis
courages national troubles. Your Pa
Is correct to be nlile to properly
handle nnd shoot a gun does impart
an appearance of manliness to the
Scouts at the same time eliminating
the element ol danger which is ever
present when novices are afield in
pursuit of game. The major portion
of accidents which we occasionally
read of are occasioned by non
familiarity with fire arms. -

'Yes; he was one of -those who I
helped Dorothy to destroy the
Wicked Witch of thd West, and the
Winkies were so grateful that they
invited him to become their ruler, —
just as the people of the Emerald
City invited the Scarecrow to rule
theni."
"Dear me!" said Jack. "I'm get
ting confused with all this history.
Who is the Scarecrow?'
Another friend of Dorothy's," re
plied Tip.
"And who is Dorothy?"
"She was a girl that came here
from Kansas a place in the big, out
side world. She got b'own to the
Land of Oz by a cyclone, and while
she was here the Scarecrow and the
Tin Woodman accompanied her on
her travels."
"And where is she now?" inquired
the Pumpkinhead?"
Glinda the Good, who rules the
Quadlings, sent her home again,"
said the hoy
"Oh. And what became of the
Scarecrow?"
"I told you. lie rules the Emer
ald City."
"I thought you said it was ru'ed
by a wonderful Wizard," objected
Jack, seeming more and more con
fused.
"Well, so I did. Now, pay atten
tion and I'll explain it," said Tip,
speaking slowly and looking the
Pumpkinhead squarely in the eve.
"Dorothy went to the Emera'd City
to ask the Wizard to seqjj her back
to Kansas; and the Scarecrow and
the Tin Woodman went with her.
But the Wizard couldn't send her
bock, because he wasn't so much
of a Wizard as he might have been.
And then they got angry at the
Wizard, and threatened to expose
him; so the Wizard made a big bal
j loon and escaped in it, and no ono
has ever seen him since."
"Now, that is very Interesting his
j tory," said Jack, well pleased; "and
T understand it perfectly—all but
the explanation."
"I'm g'ad you do." responded Tip.
"After the Wizard was gone, the
people of the Emerald City made
TPs Majostv the Scarecrow, their
King; and I have heard that he be
enme a very popular ruler."
"Are we gding to see this queer
King?" asked Jack, with interest.
"I think we may as well," replied
the boy. "unless, you have something
better to do."
"Oh, no, dear father," said the
Pumpkinhead. "I am quite willing
to go wherever you please."
