The Bucknell Game Called Off.
Saturday's rain caused disappoint
ment to the State undergraduates as
well as to the 150 Bucknell students
who came from Lewisburg to , see
the tennis tournament and the base
ball game between the two colleges.
Those who came on the special
train, over a hundred in number,
arrived about noon on Saturday by
way of Lemont. The members of
the Phi Delta Sigma upper class
fraternity of Bucknell held a ban
quet in Bellefonte on Friday night,
and drove up Saturday morning in
time to see the flag scrap.
The tennis tournament was started
at ten o'clock in spite of the threat
ening weather, Harris and Man
chester playing for Bucknell, and
Waha and Twaddell representing
State. At the end of the first set
the rain was falling in a steady driz
zle, and the tournament was called off
with the score of 6 3 in favor of
Bucknell.
About one o'clock the rain
stopped and it looked as if the
baseball game might be played.
The band and many of the spec
tators repaired to Beaver Field, but
frequent showers again prevented
the game.
Efbits are being made by both
colleges to arrange another game to
be played here later in the season.
Capt. Hay's Term Extended.
It is wcicome news to all that
Captain Hay is to have his term of
office extended for one year. He
came here in September, 1905, and
will in June have completed his
third year as Commandant of
Cadets. It is hardly necessary to
mention the great number of im
Coll
STATE COLLEGE, PA., MAY 7, 1908
provements he has made in the
military department. Taking charge
here when the department had
practically no organization, he will
finish this year with an ideal organi
zation, almost perfected. Next
year he hopes to have all on an
excellent basis and such as to require
no more time and work from the
students than is absolutely fair and
necessary. Drill and Tactics will
be rated with the 50 hours a week
schedule the same as work in the
other departments, and will not be
extra as at present. Students will
get credit for all the time spent in
drill, and no one will be expected to
drill more than two years.
The extension of Captain Hay's
term will be until Sept. 15, 1909,
and was secured largely through the
efforts of Dr. Sparks who was in
Washington recently.
Syracuse Track Meet.
The first dual meet to be held in
the new Stadium at Syracuse re
sulted in a victory over State, by the
score of 72 to 53 points. Dcspite
the drizzling rain and the heavy
track the time was but little below
the average. All the races were
close, and for a while State was
ahead.
The Syracuse record of 127 feet
8 inches in the discus throw was
broxen by Horr, his new record be
ing 128 feet and 7 inches. Horr
also won the other weight evenst
with ease. The two-mile event was
one of the prettiest of the afternoon.
Smith took the lead and maintained
it for six laps, when he has passed
by Call and Stube. Smith's failure
to win was largely due to the attack
of tonsilitis with which he has been
suffering for the last few weeks. In
egian.
the half-mile Marble and Hay had a
hard fight, the former finally win
ning by a good margin. Berry was
boxed in the 440 yard dash, but the
protest was not allowed by the
referee, Charles H. McCormick.
The pole vault was the farce of the
meet. The two Syracuse vaulters
Wisner and Preston agreed to set
the qualifying height at nine feet and
neither was able to clear the bar.
Zink and Maurhoff divided the
points bet, ,, een them, there being no
third. The summary:
