Sec. 6. A member of any athle t

under whkeh he will play. :This

unfavorably on the case. Violation
of this decision will suspend 'lthe
offender froin — fu'rther participation
:in varsity athletics.
We feel that State is now ready
fOr these restrictions and believe the
student , body heartily agrees with
us. Athletics are, of course,
secondary in importance to the class
roon'Nwork, and tb make our spot is
truly collegiate without in any way
handicapping.us with other colleges,
we earnestly recommend the above
regulations. . . ,
Sections 2 h and--6 are possibly ,, the ,
only ones which may , need • a ,fur
• ther word. • The bad impression]
created in the college world by talc-1
ing aii athlete taped in another;
institution and using him on our
teams immediately after, entering
, here—cannot be denied, and such a
rule as Section 2 would not only
tnevent.sach a tbingl.bLit would 'not(

the sake of athletics alone.
practically_ all the colleges of im-.1
„portanCe have legislated in some;
form.or.other on summer baseball.
Many have made most stringent
rulings and few, if any, are living
up to the letter of their laws. The
question is due ‘lor a "violent s
sion at•the nexF meeting of the as
sociation in Ntw York thig'year, on
account *of fhe' chaotic state of
'affaits now existing,
:In ',the_ first . place your Alumni
'Committee will not suggest a string
ent rule and then permit it: to be
broken. We prefer that our actions
,be perfectly fair and open on such ,
questions. Under present con= '
ditions it is not fair to put our men
under the absolute amateur rule.
We do not feel that the chief dan
gers of professional 'ball or piofes- '
sional sport of any kind lie in the
taking of money for services render- :
ed. While , this idea creates the
spirit the opposite to that fostered
by pure amateur sport and is a det
riment
to college athletics, it Might

otherwise unable could, mai keting

of a college education
What appears to us to be the real ,
danger of summer ball is the influ
ence a crowd of professional or
semi-professional ball playeis has
on a college man's chaiactei and the
consequent effect on his college asso
ciates in athletics.

athletics from the bad effects
It is oui hope to sse some time
soon the pureTri.acCii rule in force
at State, and while the above rule is
not as broad as it can be we feel it
is a step in the right direction. It
ivill at least help us a little until the
association meeting at New, York
can suggest some definite and practi-
Lal solution of the problem.
We have one final recommenda r
Lion to make—that basketball as an
intercollegiate
of
be eliminated
from out list of sports for a period
of at least two years. The expenm
of maintaining a varsity -basketball
team, v."fir fhe' and, benefits
act siring to so few 'met' is out of all
proportion to other branches of
sport. It ifi always a losing venture
and its deficits must be rbacie up by ,
other departments, With time
neccessary tor games and • daily
practice it makes our gymnasium
practically unavailable to a great
part of the student body who can
get no real benefit from physical
exercise
,
Practically all colleges which are
lea] factors in the athletic world
have taken the action we suggest,'
claim for the same reasons as apply
here or on account of lack of infer
est on the part of the student body.
,It may not be amiss at this time
to outline the attithde of the alumni
to the system of . athletics at State.
There seems to be : An awakening to
the fact . that our department of
physical e . thieation - shottld - bring out
sothething mere than a fcw teams of
highly trained athletes.'
The college graduate of today
needs more than mentatstrength; he
'must have a healthy and sturdy body
to enable him to make the most of
his mental ability, and' he must
know how to keep that body in
proper condition, What are we do-
iig along this line for the average
student?" PraCtically nothing.
The total number of men on our var
sous athletic squads probably does not
exceed one -hundred and fifty—.-ten
per cent of the total number in col
lege. Can we not do something for
the , other ninety per cent? The
freshman class, of course, has gym
nasium work, but the sOphomoreS,
juniors and seniors get nothing be
cause of lack , of gymnasium facili
ties. One , thing we do not lack is
outdoor playgrounds. Our. facilities
in this respect are unexcelled, and
are being bettered each year. Cli
matic conditions at State College
are unquestionably ideal. With
everything in his favor why should
not every man daily acquire some
of his health capital ? It cannot be
denied that it will bear good inter
est later in a business or professional
career.
As a step towards this goal there
has been added to the sophomore
schedule, in place of gymnasium
work, weekly lectures on subjects
vital to, the physical well being of
every man

“Gyeridhlon and Improye
Among the other improvements
which have been made around col
lege during the summer are those in
and about the gymnasium: What
was formerly the locker-iriibin has
been converted into a drying room,
and a spacious addition has been
'placed at the west 'end of the build
ing to serve as a locker room.
Here are two hundred and fifty of
the best steel, 'ventilated lockers on
market. ,In the east end of the ad
dition are the rnoditois rooms. A
large number of the'newest and best
showers have been installed and in
the future there will be no necessity
for a mad rush fora shower. Paint
has followed along close behind the
alterations and now everything ap
pears exceptionally neat and up-to
date. The two rooms on the stage
have been changed into offices.
The one on the right of the stage is
now occupied by "Pop" Golden.an,d
the one on the left by, Mr Lewis..
On the outside improvements are
also evident. The two tennis courts
on the west of the "Gym" have
been kept in excellent condition
during the summer and a one hun
dred yard-straight-a-way is now be
ing constructed also.
