The circulation of false reports as to the scores of both the West Point and Villanova games last week has brought forcibly to our atten tion the present system, or lack of system, in regard to this matter. Not only should those who spread such reports be severely dealt with, but some trustworthy method of an npuncing the scores should be de vised. The entire student body of this institution is interested in the results of contests—athletic, debat ing, or anything in which we com pete, and has a right to know promptly and with certainty the out come of these contests. If tele- grams were sent to some responsible person, who alone would have THE STATE COLLEGIAN authority to announce them, no cre dence would be given to reports from other sources, and we would be spared the necessity of waiting for the daily paper to learn how our varsity teams fared. This matter should be definitely settled before the coming baseball trip, which in cludes the important games with Pennsylvania, Princeton and Lafay ette. As will be noted at the head of this page, two new men, A. W. Fisher,'lo,and K. H. Lohmann, 'lO, have been elected to positions on the editorial staff. These' men have been thoroughly tried out, and their work has proved satisfactory in every respect. Probably two oth ers will be added to the board soon after the beginning of the next col lege year, and with this increase to take the place of the men who leave this year, we feel confident that we can produce a good paper. We shall aim not only to make the pa per as good as it has ever been in past, but a little better. With this aim in view, we need your sup port—the paw - dent of your subscrip tions and your co-operation in the matter of news. The football schedule for next season, as published in this issue, is by far the strongest and the best that Penn State has ever arranged to play. While the Yale game has been discontinued, one has been ar ranged with Cornell, and the game with the University of Pennsylvania is practically settled. In addition to these, a game with Swarthmore is probable, in which case the date with West Virginia will be changed. This strong schedule is an indica tion of the growing reputation of our athletic teams throughout the east- em states Calendar. FRIDAY MAY 24. 4.00 P. M. Baseball. State vs. F and M. on Beaver Field.

The very creditable production by the co-eds of two short plays, "The Ghost of an Idea" and "The Min ister's Wife," given last Friday evening, was a decided novelty in the way of entertainment. In spite of the general excellence of the en tire performance several parts were exceptionally well played,, among which were Miss Meek's animated portrayal of a vivacious school girl and Miss Kichline's clever imper sonation of Topsy, the colored maid. The star .of the evening, however, was Miss Clara Pond. Her work had a steadiness and ease such as usually comes only after long ex - perience. The chorus was perhaps not up to the standard of the rest of the entertainment, but on the whole the entire production was excellent.
