PENN STATE TO HAVE WORLD'S GREATEST SPORT PLANT; TROUT THIEVES GET 640 DAYS Finest Athletic Plant in World For Penn State How -vitally Important Penn State College officials consider whole some, open-air sport as the prime aid to keeping America lit Is proved by the announcement to-day that this institution will establish an eighty-acre playground, whero twelve football games can be played simultaneously, with forty tenni3 matches going full tilt, four soccer games, two la crosso and the same number of hockey encounters, ten basketball contests, half & dozen volleyball battles and a hundred or more men cavorting about a cinder track, with several groups of golf ers In the background. Rumor Is that a wealthy alumnus will also equip' a monster steel and concrete building, big enough to stage a football game, and also a vast swimming pool. Pcnn's weekly newspaper, The Collegian, is author ity for the statement that the trus tees have already set aside the land for this project and that work will begin the present summer. It con tinues: "Under the direction of Hugo Bezdek, head of the college de-. partment of physical education, ev ery student who is physically able | Is actively engaged in one or more | forms of athletic sport. The plan j has worked so well that the de mand for more room is imperative. ' The college, prominent graduates j and the athletic association are j combining to make over the eighty acres into the most complete play ground of its kind in the country. "Athletics for every student has been the slogan of Bezdek, former football coach at the University of Oregon, and it is largely due to his untiring efforts that the plans are about to be realized. His theory last fall developed several football stars at Penn State who otherwise would never have been j heard of in that capacity, and his plan has worked equally well dur-1 ing the winter. The scheduled I location of the Center county col-, lege makes the environment such j that it is a simple matter to get: every student interested in some ath- i letic sport.

The front of the j building will be two stories in height and will include the offices j of the department and others, such j offices as may be necessary.

There will j be a permanent wooden floor, large! enough for the laying out of three; basketball courts and surrounded by a dirt track, one side of which : will be a 100-yard straightaway.; The rest of the floor space will be of dirt and will be divided by means; of curtains into baseball cages and special sections for track, football and other sports, thus enabling practice to be held indoors when he weather will not permit out-of- j •oors work.

Gemberling, Selins grove, is a true disciple of Izaak Walton. The lure of the stream calls him out so frequently that he has decided to bring a fishing place right up to the door. With this in mind he plans to build an artificial lake in the aqueduct hol how, three miles south of Selins grove. There is a natural reservoir and a stream In sight of the aque duct, where Middle Creek flows into the Susquehanna river. Penns Creek also empties into the Suequehanna river at the same point. Middle Creek emptied into the Susquehanna at this point centuries before Penns Creek was diverted to this point, as it for merly emptied into the Susque hanna just north of Selinsgrove, until the Pennsylvania Canal was built. , „ The new lake will be used for fishing, and is also planned as the nucleus of a summer resort.

ICELAND, STORAGE DEPOT, PROBABLE Distributing Point For Wheat From Western Canada to Europe Winnipeg, Man., April 18.—Iceland, it seems probable, may become a stor age depot and distributing point for wheat shipped from western Canada to Kurope byway of the new Hudson Bay railway. The Bast Aslastic Company, ac cording to advices from Denmark, Is planning to build storage elevators at Reykjavik In Iceland and establish a line of steamships between that town and Port Nelson, the railway termi nus on the western shores of Hudson Bay. The Hudson Bay railway will shorten the railway haul of grain from western Canada to Europe by 1.000 miles, will materially reduce transportation costs and increase the profits of the farmers. But Hudson Bay is free of iee only five months in the year, and shipments by sea from Port Nelson to Europe can be made only during this restricted period of navigation. Reykjavik is on the southwestern coast of Iceland about two-thirds of the way on the North Atlantic voy age between Port Nelson and Liver pdbl. Much of the wheat bound for Europe could be shipped out of Canada to Iceland before Hudson Bay freezes. It could then be transhipped to Europe at leisure as Reykjavik is an open port for the greater part of the year. The plan, as announced is greatly interesting western Canada grain growers. The Hudson Bay road, which is a branch of the Canadian National Railway system, will extend from The Pas in Manitoba to Port Nelson. It will be 424 miles long and all but about 80 miles of track is laid. The last link, it is expected, will be completed this summer. BASEBALL RESULTS Philadelphia, April 18.

From State Police headquarters, however, it Is evident that a big number of daring citizens took a chance at breaking in before the season opened and two men at Wilkes-Barre cer tainly got a lesson. Trailed down by a clever State cop they were nab- 1 bed with the goods and taken to court. It was learned this morning that neither could pay his fine and each was sentenced to 640 days in prison, as the law calls for one day for each dollar fine, and the total ' fine was In each instance 6640. The ' State Police are determined to carry : out the law and have no sympathy i with law-breakers. The State has been generous in stocking the streams and so long as the police i department is supported ■ as now, i these criminals will get all that is coming. ' Uu in the neighborhood of Wil- 1 liamsport, the sport is very lively. ; Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roose velt. of New York city, son of the 1 late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Is a ■ member of a party which is enjoying i the opening week of the trout fish- t ing season at Ogontz, the cottage I near Salladasburg, belonging to Jay i Cooke, 3d, of Philadelphia, who is acting as host to a party of six 1 men. J. H. Harding, of Philadel- ] phia, is one of the party. They ex- < pect to remain until Saturday night, j At Mauch Chunk Edward Glace, an expert local angler, on Wednesday ] caught eighteen large Sited trout in < the Mauch Chunk Creek. One of them < had a portion of a line, evidently I having released itself when first 1 caught. i This bout alone would be worth the money, assures Barrett. But what will happen when Otto O'Keefe, of Allentown, and Sammy Schiff, the local favorite start hostilities is tlie feature bout of ten rounds O'Keefe and Sammy have met twice in six round bouts and it has left the local sports in a quandry a sto who is the better man, and credit is due Bar rett for getting them together for ten rounds. After this there should be no doubt about who is the better boy. Schiff, as every one knows, was not in real fighting condition when he met O'Keefe before, but this time Sammy says he has no excuse to offer and from the first bell he will endeavor to show O'Keefe that he is his master, but as Frank Bear, man ager of O'Keefe says it takes two to i make a fight and Schiff will not have it all his way in the affair. Barrett lias his hooks out for sev eral local boys whom he wants to match in the preliminaries, and ex pects to announce it to-morrow. The opening bout will bring Ralph Leedy, of Harrisbnrg. who knocked out Billy Schultz last week, and Billy Morton, another local boy whom the veteran promoter says are the most likely looking chaps in the local ranks of pugilism. nors to serve three years.

Helen Thomson, swimming under the colors ■of the Milwaukee A. C„ last night es tablished a new record of 1:32 1-5 for women in the 100-yard breast stroke event of a card of mixed champion ships under the auspices of the Cen tral Association A. A. U. The former record was 1:34. The run of trout appears to change greatly by the locality. Scranton reports them plenty, saying: A. Beemer came back with twenty-three trout from the Paupack, while Bar ney Kresge pulled fourteen out of the same stream. Douglass Hamil ton brought back twenty-four from a stream on the Poconos, while his companion, Lieutenant H. C. Rey nolds, succeeded in getting twelve. Quite a few - local fishermen predict this season Is to be a banner one, and that big catches are sure to be reported once warm weather de velops. Waynesboro has no kick either, the trout correspondent from there as suring: "Local anglers were out In force "first day" and report good catches of brook trout in the head , waters of the Antletam in the vicini ty of Old Forge, The mountain streams here around were heavily stocked a few years ago, and anglers find no trouble In getting a 'strike.' Some fine specimens of the speckled beauty were shown. The weather yesterday blanketed the sport." Sunbury reports: According to re turning trout fishermen unfavorable weather conditions made the first days of the trout fishing In Cen tral Pennsylvania a fizzle. Of the few catches reported, the majority are far below the normal, they say. The streams were too full of water for good fishing, and each day so far, they assert, has been exactly opposite to what would be termed good fishing days. Squire M. P. Tlerney, of Northum berland, who. despite unfavorable weather conditions, sought his fav orite stream. He came back and said the trout would not come up for the fly, and that h
