Drill Resumed,
The increased amount of work for
both the officers and men caused by
the many changes of the Drill Regu
lations and the necessity of having
the battalion in good shape for the
coming Semi-Centenial, influenced
Capt. Lawton in calling the companies
together last Monday for the pur
pose of re-organization, much earlier
than usual. The battalion as it re
ported will be larger than it has ever
been for the spring term. It is very
probable that the division into six
companies will not be changed.
This will make companies of about
45 men each.
As this is the last year of Capt.
Lawton’s detail at this institution,
he has offered the prize sword,
which for the last three years has
been awarded to the cap
tain of the “banner company”
temporarily, as a permanent trophy
for the company winning in the com
petitive drill next spring and to be re
tained by its captain. In a similar
way the Mrs. Lawtcn Badge will be
permanently awarded this year.
Tnese offers should act as a strong
incentive towards faithful work.

Commencement Arrangements.

of the coming Semi-Centennial Ju
bilee at Commencement have sent out
a second letter to the members of
the Association informing them in
full of the progress made. A sub
committee consisting of Geo. R.
Meek and M. S. McDowell was ap
pointed at the last meeting to take
charge of class re-unions. This com
mittee has received thirty-eight re
sponses from the forty-four classes

case the work is proceeding satis
factorily.

which the public will be admitted. 10:30 A. M,
3. Class Re-unions 11:30 A. M.
4. Alumni Parade, by classes, to Ath-
letic Field, to witness a ball game

other athletic “stunts” 2:30 to 4:30 P. M.

The annual Sophomore —Fresh-
man basketball game comes off
this Saturday night, March 18, in
the Armory. From the present out
look this coming battle will one of
the hottets class affairs of this na
ture which “Old State” has seen for
many years. Seldom have the ri
val basketball forces of Soph and
Fresh appeard so evenly matched as
this year, and while both sides feel
fully confident of a victory, yet
every contestant knows that the
struggle will be a desperate one, and
every player on each team has
worked for the past month to be in
shape for the fray.
The victory of ’OB in football has
put the Sophs on their mettle as nev
er before, and although the Fresh
man team has the advantage of two
’Varsity men, Moorhead and Burns,
this has only served to stimulate ’O7
to greater efforts. “Sticks” Haver
stick of baseball fame is captain of
the Sophomore five, and "Cal”
Moorhead leads the Fresh. The
Soph five will be picked from the
following list of men : —Mcllveen,
Dußarry, Mason, Wilson, Metz,
Tawney, Kirk. Bitler and ’oB’s team
from the following : —Burns, Zinc,
Smith, Ferguson, Leathers, Dunn,
Thomas, Harris, Fox and Van Horn.
The Firemen of State College are
giving a concert in the Old Chapel
next Wednesday evening, in the en
deavor to raise funds for a new build
ing. The entertainment consists of
moving pictures, illustrated songs,
and harp solos. It will be a good
way to put in an evening. The boys
should all turn out and give the Fire
men a lift.
