abilities in some one event have
been discovered in just such con
tests. ' They nave not entered into
competition with recognized athletes
because they, felt that they could
not succeed. But we look to these
meets to bring out such men and
develop them, which in the end will
naturally strengthen our track team.
That constant practice and prep
aration will be necessary in order to
be able to carry off honors is un
derstood. No man can expect to
gain anything unless he first shall
have put himself in trim; but there
in consists, the value of the whole
arrangement, as it is this constant
persistence with a definite object in
view that will in the end develop the
qualities that are hidden but are,
nevertheless, there, and finally en
able the contestant to win out over
his fellows.
The fairness of the rules is an in-
ducement that must not be over
looked. They offer every man an
equal chance to “get in the game”
for all'there is in it. Every fellow
who takes part will derive physical
benefit from it, even if he does not
win a prize. Gymnasium work at
State has never been so popular as
it should be, but the new departure
will be hailed with approval as a
decided remedial measure.
Instruction in Bacteriology.
Miss Elizabeth B. Meek, Instruc
tor in Bacteriology,has returned from
the University of Chicago, where
she has been pursuing post-graduate
work, and has resumed her duties in
State College. A course of the
general aspects of Bacteriology will
be given beginning with the second
semester. The bacteriological lab
oratory in the new Dairy Building is
being fitted with modern appliances.
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Indoor Championship Meets.
An interesting and valuable addit
ion to winter sports at State will be
made this year in the form of a
series of all-around indoor cham
pionship meets. “Pop” Golden
has arranged for three meets, one
on the first Friday evening of each
of the months of February, March
and April. The 30 yard dash, pull
up, and running high jump are
scheduled for February, the running
broad jump, push up, and shot put
for March, and the 20 yard hurdle,
rope climb, and pole vault for April.
Entries will be received at any
time previous to the first meet from
any member of the student body,
but each person must enter for every
event. A chart showing the per
centage allowed for a certain dis
tance or time in each event has been
posted in the gymnasium, and the
final percentage will be an average
of the entire series of events.
Medals of gold, silver, and bronze
will be awarded to each contestant
who attains a final average of
seventy-five, sixty-five, and fifty
respectively. The requirements that
each contestant shall compete in
every event favors good, all around
ability rather than special skill in
any one event, and should result in a
large 4 number of entries. Besides
awakening considerable interest,
these meets should lead to the dis
covery of some new athletic ma
terial.
