Navy 6, Penn State 4.
The Middies turned defeat into
victory last Saturday; when they
scored a touchdown in the last 45
seconas of play. Our team clearly
outplayed the Navy during the game
and it was one of the most heart
breaking defeats that State has ex
perienced in many years. A new
formation was tiled by State in the
backfield which worked admirably
and seemed a great improvement
over the one rormerly used.
In the first half Vorhis ran back
a punt from midfield to the Navy's
30 yard line, but State being unable
to gain„ Vorhis booted a beautiful
field goal from that point. Later,
one of the Navy's backs caught a
punt on about their one yard line
and attempting to dodge our ends
he ran around back of the goal line
which should have been a safety for
State, but Fiela Judge Dunbar, of
Dickinson, did not see it that way.
The play which won the game for
the Navy occurred wen Herman
misjudged one of Douglass' punts in
the center of the field and the ball
got away from nim. Dague seized
the ball and ran for a touchdown
Smith tackled him just at the inter
section of the goal 'line with the side
line. The Navy punted out and
Lange kicked the goal. The result
was hard to realize after it had been
State's game all through the con
test. Our whole backfield worked
with a dash and a vim, and three
men were necessary to stop Ritch
ey's onslaughts at tackle. Burns
had his leg injured in the second
half and was relieved by Maxwell.

The party of students from the
classes in Metallurgy who went on
the trip with Prof. C. P. Linville re
turned to college last Thursday
morning. They report a very pleas
ant as well as a very instructive time.
The most cordial treatment was
shown at all of the plants visited.
The trip included The Atlas Port
land Cement Co., at Northampton.
Pa., the largest and most up to date
cement plant in the world; The
Thomas Iron Works, with its mag
nificient Allis Chalmers Blowing
Engines; The New Jersey Zinc Co.,
at South Bethlehem, where spelter,
zinc oxide or zinc white for use in
paint making, and speigleisen are
produced.
Lehigh and Columbia Universities
were visited and the departments of
Metallurgy inspected. Perhaps the
most interesting part of the entire
trip was the visit to the Balbach
Smelting Works at Newark, where
Mr. Zahn, the superintendent, took
great pains to show ana explain the
metallurgy of lead smelting and re
fining. One day was spent at the
works of the American Smelting
and Refining Co., at Perth Amboy,
where the refining of copper and
silver were seen. At the Philadel
phia Mint the party was shown es
pecial courtesy in being allowed to
see the assaying and refining depart
ments Other plants visited were
the Camden Coke Co.; The Glas
gow Iron Co., Pottstown; The
Pennsylvania Steel Co., at Lebanon;
the ore banks at Cornwall; and the
Pennsylvania Steel Co., at . .;teelton.
Mr. Campbell, the brother of H.
H. Campbell, the author of "The
Manufacture and Properties of Iron
and Steel" acted as guide at The
Penna. Steel Co.. and at the steel
casting department Mr. Calder,
State '77, metallurgist. explained
everything. Not the least interest
ing events were the Dickinson and
Penn games.

The New Drawing Tables.
In the draughting room used by
freshmen in the Engineering build
ing may be seen this ty new drawing
tables. The tops of the tables are
of pine about two incnes thick, and
extend over each end about one foot
allowing two students to work at the
same table. The lower portion con
tains twelve numbered drawers pro
vioed with locks. At each end at e
compartments for the drawing
boards and T squares of the stu
dents assigned to that table. These
compartments hold two boards and
are also provided with a lock, but
the locks are so arranged that a
student's key will open his drawer
and will allow him to get his board,
but will not let him in the drawer of
the other student whose board is in
the same compartment.
The entire plan of the new tables
and the scheme of locks originated
with Prof. W. H. Parker, who is
considering having the tables pat
tented and put on the market, but
so far nothing has been done in that
direction. The material for thirty
mole is now ready to put together
but they will probably not be ready
for the students until the Engineer
in Annex is opened about Christ
mas time.
Wyoming Seminary Club.
The Wyoming Seminary Club
was organized last week for the
present college year, and the follow
ing offic , :rs were elected : President,
