Much trouble has been experienc

owing to, the difficulty of securing
STATE COLLEGE, PA., MARCH 12, 1908.
dates with some of the colleges.
Penn was offered her choice of sev
eral days for a game but none was
accepted. Yale was about the same
and Princeton, it seems, was not in
a mood to even consider signing
for a game. The Indians will not
fulfill their agreement to play the
Commencement game here this year
for various reasons and just who can
be secured for this date is unsettled
at present. Outside of these feat
ures the schedule is very good and
gives State many new opportunities
for acquiring baseball fame. It is
also a very hard one, but with
the material on hand, Coach Mc-
Ilveen and Capt. Cree can be de
pended upon to develop a. nine of
which all State men will have reason
to feel proud.

Junior Orators Chosen.
The following men have been
chosen to compete in the Junior
Oratorical contest during Com
mencement week: H. H. Acheson,
A. A. Borland, W. E. Hoffman, K.
H. Marsh, D. Panaini, and W. C.
Weaver. The alternates are, in the
order named: D. L. Markle, H. A.
Hey, and Miss E. B. Bower.
This year the contest promises to
be of unusual interest. Heretofore
only one prize of $25 has been
given, but beginning this year the
first prize will be $5O and a second
prize of $25 will be awarded. This
has been made possible through the
generosity of Mr. Barlow, trustee
and loyal friend of the college. Dr.
Sparks, who was one of the judges
last year, has expressed great in
terest in this contest and will present
to each contestant who does not win
a prize some token of his esteem.
Just what this will be has not yet
been decided upon. In this way all
who take part will receive some
recognition of their work.
