VOLUME 7 NUMBER 9 STATE TACKLES MIT TODAY Blue and White Fices Hard Proposi tion on Forbes Field. PITTSBURGERS ARE CONFIDENT Natives of Smoky City Fully Ex pect to See Strong Pitt Team De feat the State Aggregation. Big gest Crowd in History of Western Pennsylvania Football Expected in Attendance. Weather conditions permitting, one of the lErgest crowds that ever witnessed a football game, will jour ney to Forbes field this afternoon to see the annual State-Pitt gridiron battle. Supporters of the respective teams feel that the chances are even, and that the final score will not show more than a single touchdown. In spite of the fact that Pitt has not suffered a defeat this season, it must be remembered that they have not had - a serious proposition to con tend with and , their real strength is a practically unknown quantity. Whereas, on the other hand, State has met strong teams in Penn and Villanova and has had the exper ience of fighting on a foreign field The quality of football shown by State against Penn and Bucknell was superb and if the same style is exhibited today. ,the,outcome should not be doubtful. The team is in good physical condition and the plays are well executed by the backfield. It is, however, practi cally impossible to estimate Pitts' comparative strength against us as only one team has played against both the westerners and ourselves. Early in the season we defeated the Carnegie Tech eleven by the immense score of 61-0 and Pitt re cently defeated the same team, 35-0. This shows very little owing to the great lapse of time between the games. CAPTAIN GRAY'S STATEMENT Just prior to the team leaVing here for Pittsburg, Captain, Gray made the following statement: "There is no question but that Pitt has one of the strongest teams in her football history and will make a big effort to keep her sea-, , son record clean by defeating us on Thanksgiving day. I fully appre ciate the fact that they will give us a fight for every inch of the way but we are going to Pittsburg to win and if determination plays a prom inent part in that game' Pitt will A keenly feel the full power of the State machine." WHAT COACH HOLI,ENBACK SAYS When interviewed, Coach Hol lenback was sorn2what reticent to give a very expanded statement, but it.could be readily seen that he was confident of State's taking the hon s He said: "The team is in good shape phys ically and- barring . _ unforseen inj in les, it will give a good account of itself against Pitt The line is strong and the backfield light but fast and the general good spirit among the men is maikeclly pievalent. I fully expect the team to give Pitt one of the hardest battles she has ever had aril all things bean equal, we ought to, win T. 1113 SPATE LINEUP Although it has not been definite ly decided just what men will line up for the kickoff, it is highly prob able that they will be chosen to fill the positions in the following way. Left end, Piolett; left tackle, Hal low, Riddle, left guard, Johnson; center, Watson, Clarke; right guard, Gray, right tackle, Weaver, Keller, right end, Very; qua' teiback, Mil ler, right halfback, Engle; left half back, Barron, quirk, fullback, Bar rett, Workman. THE WIRELESS STATION. Now in Process of Erection in the Electrical Extension. Will Be Thoroughly Equipped in Every Detail The most important experiment that Ilan ever been undertaken in this college along the line of elec tric.,l engineering is the erection of a wireless telegraph station itt con nection with the Electrical depart ment, on which the work has al ready been started. It will no doubt irterest many to know, that the room for the instru ments of the stc.tion is located on the second floor of the electrieal annex building. The equipment consists of complete sending and re ceiving sexvices,the former including several types of transformers with both closed and open magnetic cir cuits. The antenna will be erected on the roof of the Electrical annex and for the present will be about 100 feet above the ground and 110 feet in length. With the completion of the station here, it will place State College in wireless connection with such stations as Washington, Philadelphia and Baltimore. A larger antenna will be built later on when it has been found what height is best suited for receiving and send messages, thus placing the college in communicat on with places much further away. Those in charge expect to . have the station operating this winter. Such an innovation will no doubt be worth while to all interested in wire less telegraphy. It is safe to say that when the station is finished it will be the largest' and most com plete wireless station in any college in the country. Borland-Canon.. The marriage of Miss Jessie Can on to Mr. Andrew A. Borland occur red Wednesday, October' 12, at the home of the bride's father, Mr. J. C. Canon, in Lake township,Meicer Co. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. G. T. Robinson, of Sugar Grove, in the presence of a small party of relatives: A wedding din ner followed the ceremony, after which the young couple left for the East. They will be at home after November 1 . at State College, where Mr. Borland is connected with the faculty of the Pennsylvania State College. They received many fine presents and carry with them to their new home the best wishes of a wide circle of friends. "Dad" Elliot As an .advance notice, we wish to call the attention of all men in College to the approaching visit of vllad" Elliot. The former All- Western End is visiting American colleges and universities through the insti umentality of the various Y. M. C A. groups, and will come to State on January 3.' A dare treat is in store for us, and we should all promise ourselves the pleasure of healing him often during his visit. State-Pitt returns in Old Chapel at 230 p. m. Everybody out 1 STA . ]. E COLLEGE, PA., NOV ii.MBER 24, 1910 1 MILLING ENGINEERING. Another New Course Has Been In stalled in This Institution Some thing Very New and Decidedly Practical. Last year the Pennsylvania Soci ety of Milling Engineers suggested that a course in flour milling engi neering be established at the Penn sylvania State College. Pai tly on the above suggestion such a course was established. The synopsis of the course for the student taking the optional course of Flour Milling Engineering is here given. The course is identical with that of Mechanical Engineering except that certain studies that have no partic-J ular bearing or connection with mil ling engineering -are chopped and are substituted by thine essential and having to do most with the flour milling industry and their practical applications. The student in the Freshman year thus takes up Mechanical Drawing and Descriptive Geometry,Freehand Drawing, French or German, Trig onometry, ' Military Science and Tactics, Composition, Rhetoric, Carpentry, Analytic Geometry and Chemistry. In the Sophomore year, Chemistry is continued as is Mechanical Draw ing and Descriptive Geometry, French or German, Botany, Math ematics, Advanced Algebra, Kine matics of Machinery, Electricity, Agriculture, Mechanics, are taken up and in the second' semester of this year he gets intoltivi first study of flour milling and machinery. In the junior year, tie takes up Steam Engines and Boilers,Mechan'- ics of Machinery, Machine Design, Applied Mechanics, Electrical . Engi neering and Laboratory work, Hydraulics, History, Testing Mater ials, ' Flour Milling Machinery, designing and practical operation. In the Senior year, he takes up Power Plants, Gas Engines, Heat ing and Ventilating, Engine and Boiler Tests, Principles of Eco nomics or Political Science, Labot Problems, Agronomy, Cereals, Gen err latic ica- Mr. rs - H. Dedrick. ex-President of the National Technical Society of Federated Millers has 'been ap pointed head of the department of Flour Milling Engineering at this Institution. This technical training should place the student, who enters the mill, in.a position to rapidly acquire the practical part of flour milling and the operation and management of the office or business end as well. The cputse in Milling or Mill Engineering certainly offers a sound theoretical, as well as a practical training, equipping 'the student with a working knowledge coveting •the production of the raw matek . - - 1 ials with which he has to' deal; the commercial side of the.' problem, including a study of the cereal markets, the economical design of the necessary plant and equipment and the practical manage ment of such a plant• H.

Good Schedule Has Been Arranged but Possibility of ,a Winning Team will Not be Good Unless ' More Crindidates Turn Out. The wrestling situation at Penn State was never brighter than it is at the beginning of the season of 1910-11. A large number of very promising men are plugging steadily away at the game, and some great matches will have to be fought to decide the representative of the college in each weight class. In most of the classes there are suffi cient , men for Director Lewis to work with, but in one or two of the weights there is a sad lack of mate rial; and new candidates will be welcomed in these classes especially. In the 145 pound class, we tind men such sterling as Morrison and Yeckley, both 'Seniors, heading the list. The freshman class is rep resented by four men who are also going to be heard from before the season is over: Resch, Simpson, Thomas and McLees. Two other men in this weight, Burlington and Green, specials, are very likely look ing candidates. The 135 pound clash has not re ceived as many candidates, but there is no fear for the result when we have men like Karcher, 'l3; Hoskins, 'l2; Fisher, 'l4; and Garv er, Sp. There are several other men who seem also to have a good chance in the contest for the posi tion. ' In the 125 pound class that old war-horse Sammy Diehl; 1911; is doing splendid work again this year. He is backed b.y, Manager Neidig 'll, and Rishell, 'l4. More men could be used in this class. At 115 — Rounds, Glanville, 'li, and Park, 'l4 - of last year's squad are working again; but there is a complete lack of. new men. Direct or Lewis could use a half dozen men here to good advantage; and he wishes all men under 130 pounds to report to him. freshmen, get busy I The 158 pound class is represented by Very, Elliot and Schollenberger, all of 1913, and all men of tried ability. This is one of the strongest classes in the list, and a mighty struggle is expected among the 1913 men and alsd several promising Freshmen, for the final honor. In the 165 pound class, Lesh, 'l2, last year's standby is doing excel lent work, with Rearig, Sp., also showing up well. The heavyweight class is another of those which needs more candi dates. Stitt, 'l2, and Warner, 'l3, are wrestling well, but they are both new to the game. The Director needs more men to work with, and he wishes to see all men weighing 180 pounds or over. our ild ited eri- On December 10 there will be a Championship meet foi the best men in college, By pi evious trials the best two men in each class will be selected and they will then com pete in the meet. It surely promis es to be a warm one, and it behoov es each candidate for wrestling honors to get into shape for the preliminary trials. In the Engineering and Minirg Journal foi Oct. 12, will be found a paper by Mr D. K. Dullen , „ form erly of the department of Metal luigy on "Assaying 01 Cobalt &Nei Oics," The investigations upon which this paper is based were made in the Metallurgical laboia tones of this school. PRICE FIVE CENTS VARSITY BASKETBALL. Prospects Bright for a Winning Team. Three Old Men Have. R eturned and New Material Looks Good. Schedule is Partly Ar ranged. First Game Dec. 9. As the close oE'the football sea- son is upon us the colleges are now turning their attentions to basket ball, the winter intercollegiate sport. At State in this department pros pects seen very bright for develop ing one of.the best teams ever turned out of this institution. For a num ber of weeks Captain Blythe has had all the old and new 'basketball men practicing on the Armory floor, giv ing each man every show'for a po sition on the team. Although ' the State five lost two of the regulars, Captain Hermann and "Bill" Reed, by graduation,' yet those men that are left from last year's varsity form an excellent nucleus around which to develop a strong team. All of last year's squad who are out again this year including Captain Blythe, Haddow, Shore, McEntire, and Davis and Amidon are already' showing their old time form and vim displayed throughout the entire playing season ,of 1909-10. The abundance of new material makes it almost impossible to haz ard a guess so early in the season as to who will fill the empty positions or beat out some of the regulars. Among those who are showing up well in practice are Yeckley,Metzgar, ,Yozburg t ... Loveridge, Green, Craig and Young. From this number there are sure to be a few who will find a birth among the regulars." A strenuous effort is being made to retain "Dutch" Hermann to coach the team through the, season and if this is accomplished the basketball team will have what it has long been in need of—a coach. There is little ,doubt but that such a move will prove beneficial. Last year no training table was main tained for the players, so if' proper arrangements can be made , Captain Blythe is anxious to keep his men in the best possible shape for the hard games that are scheduled. After Thanksgixing strenuous prae tice and strict tratning will be im posed upon the members of the team. - 'Although starting late in making out the schedule, Manager Sleppy has practically completed negotia tions for games with some of the best'teams in the east. The season will open here on Dec. 9, with a game with Susquehanna. Several trips will be taken, Dec. 14 being set for the start of the first one. The schedule till Christmas is as follows: Dec. 9, Susquehanna at State College. Dec. 14, U. of P. at Philadelphia. Dec. 15, Pratt Institute. Dec. 16, Columbia at New York. Dec. 17, West Point at West Point. Folio vying Christmas vacation games will be played with such._ teams as Swarthmore, .13ucknell, Le high, Albright and others. The c.omp!etc schedule will be announc-, cri la er. In the September number of Economic Geology Dr. E. C. Moore has a paper on "The Occurrence and Origin of some Bog-Iron .De posits in the District of Thunder Bay; Ontario."
