THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Electrical Inspection Trip.
The inspection trip fi om which the
senior electricals have just returned
proved to be one of the best ever
conducted by the department. 1. he
men, about twenty in number, first
visited the piant of the Pennsylvania
Steel Co. at c teelton, after which
they inspected the high tension
power plant at York Haven. An
interesting fact in connection with
this plant is that the generators ,all
of which are alternators, are driven
by direct connected water turbines.
Baltimore and Washington were
next visited, one of the most inter
esting features in the latter being the
wonderful system by which the
government preserves the accuracy
of all standards.
From Washington, a pleasant trip
was made down the Potomac by
boat to Norfolk, where the James
town Exposition was visited. Among
the most interesting engineer ing
features were the Building of Fuels
and the electric locomotive of the
New York, New Haven and Hart
ford R R. on which both direct and
alternating currents are used in the
same motors. Next were visits to
the. battleship Minnesota, the New
poit News Shipbuilding Co., and
Fortress Monroe.
On the return trip a day was
spekt in Philadelphia, visiting points
of interest to engineers.
Last Saturday's Games
After losing to Princeton the
previous week, the Indians scored a
decisive victory over Harvard by
the score of 23 to 15. The Red
skins' daring skillfulness was a reve
lation to the Crimson.
Cornell had the honor of defeat
ing the Army, who had hopes of a
clean record. The Ithacans have a
powerful team and the score of 14 to
10 shows that they are to be watched.
The Navy suffered the worst defeat
in three years at the hands of
Swarthmore by the score of 18 to 0.
'Brein, the Quakers' quarterback,
was responsible for 13 of the 18
points through his goal kicking.
Brown experienced a surprise as
well as well as a severe defeat by
Yale to the tune of 22 to b. W. U.
P. was also there . for the prize
packages when she defeated West
Virginia 10 to 0 after the Morgan
town boys had looked for an easy
victory. State will no doubt have
her troubles with the Pittsburgers on
Thanksgiving. Lafayette swamped
Bucknell 34 to 0, , although the latter
allowed but two touchdowns in the
first half. "Bings" Engle, ex-'O7,
is playing left end for Bucknell.
The New Athletic Field.
The contract for the grading of
the new Athletic Field has been
awarded to R. B. Taylor, of Belle
fonte, who already has much of his
equipment on the ground.
It will be recalled that the last ap
propriation included $15,000 for the
building of this field. It will extend
from immediately above Professor
Willard's residence to the road be
yond the wood, making one of the
largest and most complete athletic
fields in the country.
A full description of the new
field including the new gymnasium,
the baseball cage, and the swimming
pool, will be given in the Alumni
Number to be issued on Nov. 27.
Basketball.
Several new men showed up ex
ceptionally well in the practice last
week and the wealth of new material,
together with all the varsity men of
last year, makes the prospect very
bright for a successful team. B. C.
Ticknor, 'll, of last year's varsity,
is ill at his home with rheumatism
and it is not known definitely
whether he will return to college
this year.
It has been suggested that the
team should have a competent coach
this season. From the present out
look,the squad will contain a number
of good men and in view of this faCt,
the idea of engaging a coach is 6.
good one.
