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.

Long Island Railroad.
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.
