1897-] be arranged with neighboring Young Men’s Christian Association teams, and with a few college teams. In training the teams, regular gymnastic work is done for the first half of the hour on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of each week, and all students are at liberty to join the class, in so far as apparatus will permit. Although the entering class last fall was slightly smaller than that for the previous year, a much smaller percentage of failures is reported, and the year promises to end with a larger number of men than entered the Sophomore Class last year. This shows an improvement in the work of the preparatory schools of the State. L. F. Hayes has been elected captain of the base ball team for the coming season, and a strong showing is expected. Practice in the Armory has begun. Following is a list of the men trying for the different positions: Catchers, Albert, Scholl and Heckel; pitchers, David and Smith; first basemen, Weldy, Scholl, Albert, Dongenecker, L. E. Thomas, and Spiesman; infield and outfield, Curtin, Bechtel, Brandt, Sherer, Plarding, David, Wallace, Dock, Stratford, Larkin, Findley, Smith, Morgan, York and Stuart. The captain wishes this list greatly increased, as a much larger num ber from which to select is necessary, if the college wishes a representative team. The following seniors have been chosen members of the Scien tific Association: Dom, Hill, Lawrence, McKinley, Miller, Myers, Teas, Whitten and Baumgardner. The men named below have been notified of their appointment as commencement orators: Harris, Heilig, Hill, Schueler, and Whitten. Mr. Hill has been elected Valedictorian. Nearly a mile of the line work for the experimental electric railway is now essentially completed. Much of the material used in this work was presented by the White-Crosby Company, Elec trical Engineers and Contractors, of which the senior member, Mr. J. G. White, is a graduate of this college (class of ’B2). A cable car, which is to be remodeled into a testing car in a way that will best suit the conditions imposed by the experimental work, has been received from the Union Traction Co. of Phila delphia, and is now standing upon a Bellefonte Central siding. This cable car body is one of the best of several hundred that the Traction Company is equipping with electric motors for their new trolley service. The power for this experimental work will be obtained from the college plant. The Bellefonte Central Ry. Co. Locals ,
