Meeting, A meeting of the Athletic Asso ciation was held in the Old Chapel on Friday evening, Dec. 2, and was one that should set the pace for those to come —the Chapel being crowded to “standing room only.” The sub stance of the meeting briefly was as follows: Trophies: —In order to equip the trophy room in the Track House, it was decided to buy foot balls and base’ balls for each past State victory and have them decorated in the col ors of the losing team and with the score. This will require about fifty foot balls and about sixty base balls. The Association appropriated $2OO for this purpose. Furnishings for Track House: — The furnishings of the Track House being incomplete it was voted that the Association give $3OO for addi- Coll STATE COLLEGE, PA., DEC. 8, 1904, tional furniture, dishes, silverware and repairing of the piano which had just been purchased. Bleachers: —A committee of five was appointed to arrange for and estimate the cost ot new bleachers on Beaver Field. Ray, (Chairman,) Hoskins, Hamilton, Kell, and Davis all ’O5, compose the committee. Monogram caps done away with: — This question was warmly discussed but was carried unanimously. The fact that any student could wear a P. S. C. cap, lowered the value of the “S.” This, of course, does not apply here at the College, for the distinction between the two is well known, but among strangers it is not understood, and anyone seeing the P. S. C. might naturally suppose that it is a reward for athletic prow ess, which would be manifestly un fair to wearers of the “S.” It was a good move and will give to the men who earn their letter the honor they deserve. This is to go into effect immediately. The motion to grant Coach Gol den an “S” was lost, after consider able discussion. Skating: —The question of repair ing Thompson’s dam for skating was brought up but it was found too late to get it in shape for the coming winter. The problem of flooding some of the low meadow lands is being investigated. One of Beck’s Jokes, Ray ’O5 (in Bellefonte), “I lost my umbrella, somewhere this morning.” Beck ’O5: —I saw a sign in Mont gomery & Co.’s store ‘Umbrellas re-covered while you wait,-’ perhaps they can help you out.” Ed: “Maybe they can.” egian. Phi Gamma Delta House Quar- McDowell ’O5 and Skinner 'OB of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, having developed cases of scarlet fever were confined to their rooms last Monday and the house, includ ing the rrembers, quarantined. Dr. Robison pronounces the case mild, and states that if no others are de veloped the members will be released within a week. Dr. Wyman to Leave. Dr. L. P. Wyman, Instructor in Quantitative Analysis, has sent in his resignation to take effect at the close of this term. He has been appointed to take charge of the Department of Chemistry at the Pennsylvania Mili tary College, Chester, Pa. Mr. A. S. Shoffstall will move up from the Qualitative to the Quantita tive Laboratory. M. J. Rentschler ’O4 at present in the Pennsylvania Rail road Laboratories at Altoona, will take Mr. Shoffstall’s place. Freshman—Sophomore Game The Freshman Sophomore game last Saturday was a complete sur prise to everyone. It was ex pected that the Sophs, with six of the Varsity squad in their line-up, and outweighing the Freshmen about fifteen pounds to the man would prove easy winners. The Freshmen however showed unexpected strength and played the Sophs off their feet. Honhart deserves great credit for the victory as it can be mainly at tributed to his good head work. By his magnificent playing he also in spired the rest of the team. He was in every play tuging and pulling. Dunn also deserves mention as it was mainly through his defensive work in the line that the Sophs were compelled to kick so often. Price Five Cents. antined. Continued on Page 6
