STATE COLLEGE, PA., JANUARY 17, 1907,
State 66, Wyoming 23,
Our Varsity five displayed improv
ed form against Wyoming Seminary
last Friday evening in the Armory.
Some of the passing and shooting
done by State’s men was great, and
our team begins to look good as a
winning combination. Dubarry's
shooting was splendid, also that of
Barnett and Herman, while Captain
Waha played a strong game. All
the players showed that helping
spirit which means good team work.
For the visitors, Hankey and Frantz
did excellent work at all stages. In
every particular State’s men, in
dividually and collectively, showed
better form than in the Juniata
game, which State won by the score
of 61 to 1, the visitors scoring just
before the whistle blew. The score.

Berzelius Society.
The Berzelius society has adopted
a new method for making its meet
ings of greater value to its members.
Under this new plan it is intended
to secure some prominent man each
month to lecture at one of the regu
lar weekly meetings.
It was expected that Dr. Halleck
of the Schultz Mineral Water Co. of
New York would speak on the
eighteenth of this month, but as he
cannot come on that date his visit
has been postponed until March,
when he will give an illustrated
lecture on the manufacture of artifi
cial mineral water in the United
States.
During the latter part of February,
Dr. Frank J. Pond, ’92, brother of
Dr. G. G. Pond, and Assistant Pro
fessor of Engineering Chemistry at
Stevens Institute will deliver an
illustrated address on the manu
facture of water gas. Dr. Pond has
made special investigations along
this line and is a recognized authori
ty on water gas.
It is hoped that during the year
the society may be favored with ad
dresses by Dr. Wiley of the Pure
Food Commission and Dr. Dudley,
Chief Chemist for the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
It was decided last Friday night
to give up the proposed trip to
Germany, as not enough men could
be secured to join the movement.
The regular Eastern trip to’ New
York, Philadelphia, and other points
will be taken during the spring va
cation.
Boxing, wrestling, and fencing
classes are to be formed in the near
future. Each class will meet twice
a week.
