member of the band, is doing his
best to make this concert a grei t
success, and those fellows who have
ever dropped into the Old Chapel

are going to hear something out of
the ordinary next Sami day.
Last spring the band gave a con
cert on the campus and every fellow
who heard it declared it to be first
class. It’s going to be just as good
and much better this year, and
every body will get his money’s
worth.
The band has been wiLli the stu

foot ball and base ball games on
Beaver Field. This shows what
State spirit is, and now they are ask

Auditorium next Saturday night,
drop a quarter in the slot, and hear
the best band concert ever given at
State. This money will be used in
buying the latest and best music on
the market, to be played at the corn
ing base ball games and track-meets.
If this concert is well attended the
band will be able to p'ay music 1 his

STATE COLLEGE, PA., MARCH 22, 1906,
The Wendling Lecture,
There was a comparatively small
audience in the Auditorium on Fri
day evening, but those who were
there felt repaid for having come,
for the lecture of the evening was
one of the best of the Y.M.C.A.
course. Hon. George R. Wend
ling gave his lecture “Saul of
Tarsus,” and as regards matter,
form, and delivery, it was magnifi
cent. It showed a great amount of
study of the New Testament,
particularly of that part with which
St. Paul’s life and writings have to
do. Mr. Wendling is a speaker of
great force and eloquence, and his
mastery of the subject was ap
parent from beginning to end.
His command of language, the
beauty of his rhetoric, and the per
fection of his diction, combined with
clear pronunciation and a forceful
delivery, made the lecture interest
ing to the very end.
As an orator Mr. Wendling stands
among the foremost of Americans.
He has several lectures but his most
famous ones are, “The Man of
Galilee,” and “Saul of Tarsus.”
Class Sleighrides
The Juniors took advantage of
the unusually large fall of snow on
Tuesday of last week and went to
Bellefonte on their annual sleigh
ride. Many of the fellows attended
the dance held tor the occasion.
The sleds left the college at about
half-past four and returned at one.
On Friday the Sophomores went
to Bellefonte in five sleds. The
main attraction that evening was the
play —“Under Southern Skies,” in
the Opera House.
For the first time in four years
the Freshmen received a sleigh ride,
which occurred on Saturday. A
dance served to keep the fellows
occupied during the evening.
Basket Ball
The Sophomore-Freshman basket
ball game in the Armory last Friday
night proved even more exciting than
had been dxpected, and “the Fresh”
spiung the biggest sort of a surprise
by winning out in decisive style.
Notwithstanding the fierce class riv
alry the contest was a real basket
ball game all the way and both teams
played a strong, heady, passing
game. Referee Hollinger’s impar
tial rulings checked “rough-house”
playing almost entirely, although
naturally every man on both teams
was into the fray clear up to his neck,
and the play was fast and fierce from
the start.
As the opening whistle blew every
player was into the fracas like a
streak and a “foul” was called In fa
vor of ’O9. Captain Ross then
scored the first point for ‘ ‘the Fresh’ ’
and Rome howled for many minutes.
Throughout the first half the score
wavered considerably but the Fresh
always managed to hold the lead by
a point or so, or at least keep the
score at a tie, until the final tally
stood 13 to 11 at the close of the
half, and the Freshman warriors
were hustled off the floor by their
howling admirers.
For the second period both fives
came on the floor pi epared for the
worst, and the play waxed fast and
furious, three lighting field goals by
Captain Moot head of the Sophs at
one stage putting 1908 to the front.
Butmeanwhile “Sally”forthc Fresh
man team was “shooting ’em in” in
splendid style, while Ross also made
several sensational shots. Then ’O9
gradually got to working more
smoothly together towaids the close
of the game, and wound up a most
