Foot Ball Ideas All State men who witnessed the game with Lebanon Valley two weeks ago and that with Allegheny last Saturday were pleased with the fast work of Captain Dunn's play ers. However, it is well to remem ber that the season is still very young and also that State's schedule is an extremely difficult one, so that it will require the untiring efforts of both players and coaches to make the coming season a successful one. Here are the opinions expressed for the "Collegian" by some of State's foot ball authorities. Head Coach "Tommy" Fennel seems to think the new rules will work out well : "There may be some odd mix-ups this fall before these new rules get straightened out and running smooth ly, but in the end they will certainly improve the game. Teams like the Carlisle Indians and Princeton,which have largely depended upon speed and open play in past seasons, will be at an advantage this year, and should make many heavier opponents hustle. Here at Penn State, the next month will prove a mighty trying period for both players and coaches, and we need encouragement from every student." Captain Dunn has the following to say : "As for the new game prov ing a gentle pastime in comparison with last year's game, this idea looks absurd to me ; for with the new style of faster, more open play there will be more chances than be fore for dangerous clashes bet Ween the players. However, the one sal vation for the game, under any rules, is their strict enforcement. State has always played clean, manly foot ball, and NN e hope to live up to our old traditions this season." Coach "Pop" Golden seems op timistic : "In years past I have seen many squads of men out on Beaver Field,heavier than the present bunch of candidates, but never have I seen THE STATE COLLEGIAN a faster and more peppery lot of 'Varsity aspirants than we have here now. Our new men seem to be just what the new rules call for, and with lots of hard work, and a helping spirit all around among students, players, and coaches, the season of 1906 should prove a gloi ious one for "Old Penn State." A College Directory Secretary Wilber of the Y.M.C. A., with the aid of a student in Main and one in McAllister, has compiled a college directory, which gives the name and college address of every student entered. The di rectory of those in the dormitories is to be kept up to date, and changes in the town will be recorded as far as possible. This is something that has long been needed and it will be appreciated. It is in convenient form, and any one can find where any student is located by consulting the directory in the Y.M. C.A. office. COLLEGE ORBIT Dickinson has adopted a new set of rules for the government of Freshmen. Along with them the following excellent advice is given to the new men : Underclassmen are expected to attend the practice of the various 'Varsity teams, to learn the college songs and yells, and to familiarize themselves with the customs. Start out to be a college man, and everybody will help you! Don't fawn and cringe ; cultivate a personality. Loudness of dress, mouth or manner will not be toler ated. Remember that your father's position won't help you. We neither known who your are, nor care. You stand alone on your merit, so Make Good ! The honor system as tried by Franklin and Marshall has proved a failure and has been abolished. A new set of absence rules, somewhat similar to that recently abrogated at Penn State, has been adopted. One difference, however, worthy of no tice is that excesses affect to a con siderable degree the final grade of the student. ALUMNI Mr. Hugh J.

Professor D. C. Jackson, 'B5, has recently accepted the Ptofessorship of Electrical Engineering, in charge of the Department,at the Massachu setts Institute of Technology. After having held responsible po sitions in various prominent engi neering concerns, he was, in 1881, appointed Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin. While at Wisconsin, he developed the Electrical DePart ment to a condition of high excel lence, giving it a prominent place among technical colleges and uni versities. Professor Jackson has written up on a number of technical subjects ; he is the author of "Electric Magne tism and Construction of Dynamos," joint author of ' 'Alternating Machin ery" and of "Elementary Electric ity and Magnetism," as well as smaller articles and treatises on im portant technical subjects. One more State man has acquired a remarkable reputation as an edu cator. Every year our Alma Mater is sending out not only men who are 'entering positions of prominence in the practical field of engineering concerns, but also those who are placing themselves in places where they can educate and prepare more young men for the engineering pro fession.
