Composed Of Experienced Wrestl
ers; Many from Last Year's Var-
sity Squad.
In the very neat future- a new
branah, of athleacs will be inaugurat
ed at Penn State, in the from of a
regular varsity wtestllnp team and a
properly ananged schedule, consist
ing of a certain number of meets
both at home and abrra 1. Tal - s
has been a subject of discussion for
some years but the movement was
always met xv.th some antagonistic
form that prevented it from tieing
successfully developed.
The Athletic association has not
been able financially to support a
wrestling team, ina - much as the
basketball team necessitates a large
expencltture of funds and the base
ball, football, and trade teams re
quire their specific amount of.
money It has appeared from this,
fact, that if a wrestling team rtas to
be 12;uilt up to rept esent Penn State,
it would hare to be necesarily
self-supporting. No doubts lingo,
however, but that the student body
will consolidate in the hearty sup
part. to' A • lti ,F titr•
the wrestling team thiplit,ates, in
any meastne, the woik it did in its
two meet, last yea!, the foundations
will be .ndesituothly I,ncl for its
permanent establishment. '
The maragmcnt has arranged for
meets with Lehigh, Yale, Columbia,
Cornell and Pennsylvatna pending.
Lehigh will be met in the Ain - ory
on February 11, Yale at New Haven
on Febitaty 24 Columbia Univer
sity in the Aimoi3 , on Match 4,
and Cornell at Ithaca on Match 10
The meet with Penn has not been
definitely settled, but a stienuoi,
effort is being made to close with
themloi a meet hoe in Match.
This schedule is undoubtedly a
formidable one, and includes in
every case colleges laiget than out
own, nevertheless with the sterling
material of preaent on the squad,
the team should give a good ac
count of itself
Prominent amonrY yeai's
men are Glanville, 115 lbs, Diehl
125 lbs, Morrison 145 lbs, Vet v 153
lbs 'and Lesh 175 The new men
who ate doing steady woik are

Karcher, 135 ibi s Vull`man, 145 lbs;
Shollenberger, 158 lbs; Rang, 1'1.5
lbs, and Vogel and MeVean, heavy.
These men ate plactiong with vigor
and the men who will compose the
varsity team will not be chosen tot
some time. A naming table has
been started in the track house and
strict Tralniug will he obseivecl
from now until the close of the sea

A most imr.oi raid. featt're m con

Columbia and Lehigh will un

seems to be very fair,
LEGISLATIVE LETTERS
Fully 15000 of These Have Been
Distributed Throughout the Entire
An important feature in connection
with the legistative campaign is,the
sending of letters to the most in
fluential men through.mt the State.
The mailing list includes all mem
bers of the Senate and House of
Representatives, prominent state
officials, parents of present stud
ents, prominent members of State
G ang,e, Alumni, Boaid of Trustee•,
Faculty members and Judges of
Court of Common Pleas.
The letter is self-explanatory and
and the justice of the cause is ao
patent in every statement. A large
numbci have been disti ibuted
throughout the various departments
,of the college and have been sent
out bearing the signature of those in
charge of the department from
which they issued.
A copy of the letter is herein
copied,—
As a 'friend of every movement
looking to bettering the condition of
the pcpple, you will be interested, I
hope, in the enclosed description of
some of the attempts made during
the past year to carry the benefits
of this college and its experiment
stations directly to the people of
I the l state. The national arid state
en expending, thn...-4,h
this college considerable sums on
a;;Tiictiltuial, engineering and mining
experiments whose results the peo
ple are entitled to enjoy, but no
adequate means have been provided
for carrying this information to
I them. Wisconsin in 1909; through
lits legislature, gave $125,000 to its
State institution to carry on work of
this kind; Minnesota gave $50,000
and Ohio $20,000.
At the suggestion of friends of
the college,,we are soliciting an ex-
I pression of public opinion under the
I following heads:
(1) Do you think this exten
sion work is important enough to be
supported by a special appiopria
i tion to be made at the next session
of the legislature of the state ?
( 2 , Are you willing to explain
to your members of the house and
senate the benefits it has conferred
fupon your community in the past
and what it can do in the future ?
I (3 ). Would it be advisable dur
ling the session to call a meeting at
IHanisburg of all persons interested
in this plan of carrying the ce , llege
Ito the people ?
A prompt and full reply to these
questions is earnestly solicited in or
der that the board of trustees may
determine whether public sentiment
is ieacly to support such a request if
presented and to push it vigorously
to a successful end.
I' interesting Engineering Lecture.
Engineering problems in storage
battery work was the subject of an
interesting talk given by Mr J Les
tci Woodbridge, Chief Engineer of
the Electric Stoiage Battery corn
, pany of Philadelphia before the
engineering students at 1.30 on last
Wednesday. The speakqi illustrat
ed by means of slides many of the
problems which' he had met in
practice, explaining in detail the
'manner in which they had been
handled.
STATE COLLEGE, PA., JANUARY 19, 1911
PITTSBURG DOWNED
Collegians Weee Taken Into Camp
10_14 by the Penn State Five on
the Armory Floor.
There was plenty of excitement in
the Armot v last Monday night when
the Pittsburg Collegians were beaten
19 to 14. Last year the same team
won 40 to 37 by some sensational
shots in the last few minutes, but
this time they never had the lead
although they were dangerously
near tying the score on several oc
casions.
The first half ended 10 to 7 with
Captain Blythe's team in the lead. In
that period Shore annexed , three
baskets and Blythe one. Artz
made two field goals for the visitors
and Dolin one. In the foul shoot
ing, Dolin and Snyder got one point
out of six opportunities while Shore
made two out of three good. The
half was exceedingly rough and it
continued to be even more so as the
Contest progressed. .
McEntire's injured shoulder
handicapped him somewhat and
Posey relieved "Mac" at the begin
ning' of the second • period, later
Craig was ' substituted iCir Posey.
Hartz was also used for Blythe in
the final, portion of the "bloody
encounter." Shore, Blythe and
Young (two ) got our freld.goals in
the second half while Dolin made
pretty ones for thr. Collegians.
Shore made one of th:ee fouls

out of a possible five frOm the foul

COLLEGE EXTENSION.
From a Report of a Faculty Com
mittee to the Boaid of Trustees. ,
Three schools of the college have
made ceitam trials in Extension
work (luting the past year, those of
the School of Apiculture, being the
best organized and equipped.
A brief dicription of these ac
tivites will illustrate their varied pos
sibilities ,
The School of Agriculture has run
B industrial trains over various rail
way lines and , through the 40 coun
ties of the State. Stops were made
and lectures delivered at 159 stations.
These lectures were heard by at
least 27,000 people.
During the year more than 300
addresses were delivered by mem
bers of the ;nstructtonal staff in var
ious paits ,of the state and were
heard by at least 50,000 people.
Several Agricultural exhibits were
piepaied for county fairs and were
displayed at 13 different places this
autumn.
Farmers' Week at the college last
winter enrolled 647 visitors from 49
different counties A similarl'Areek of
lectures and demonstrations was held
at Greenville, Pa , in co-operation
with the Board of 'Dade, ten coun
ties being represented in the attend
ance.
The Correspondence Course dur
ing the past yew had a total en
lollment of 2,500 students in all parts
of the state who prepared one or
more lessons. in Agriculture or
Domestic Scince. (There is de-
mand for an enlargement of this
work ). ,
County superintendents of schoU 4i
and teachers are asking assistance
in furthering instruction in nature
studies and elementary Agriculture
by the preparation of guides and
other leaflets. ( Cornell University
through its Extension appropriation
reached 85,00 school children in'
this way.)
The School of Engineering made a
successful test of organizing a voca
tional school of apprentices in tike Pennsylvania Railway shops at
Altoona, in which 225 students
were registered. (Young men in,
other industrial plants in the
state could be benefited in the same
manner). With the co-operation of
the Board of Education of Willams
port, a night class in Mechanical
Drawing was conducted for three
months in that.city, being composed
'of 65 workingmen who missed the
opportunity of attending college.
(With adequate Extension funds.
similar classes could be organized in
every city of the state). A beginning
has been made in furnishing cor
rtspondence lessons in elementary
technical subjects supplemented by
occasional meetings between pupils
and the teacher.
A car is being fitted up with a good
'roads exibit, which with the co
operation of the railways will be
shown at various stations throughout
the state. Ajecturer will accompany
the car. (This experiment must be
discontinued at the 'nd of four
months unless additional , funds are
available ).
The School of Mines through its
dean has i)repared four lectures on
Mining topics which have been
printed and distributed through the
Mining Institute of the State Young
Men's Christian Association. These
Lectures have been read and studied
by fully 10,000 miners in the state.
Six additional le6.tures Will be dis
tributed the coming year and an
instructor should be sent to each
institute to review the course at itS
close.
Lectures on prevention of accidents
and other practical mining subjects
were delivered by the dean of' this
school at Johnstown, Latrobe; Irwin,
Castle Shannon, Punxsutawney,
Brownsville, Monongahela, Scott
dale, and Pittsburg in the bitu
minous district; and at Pittston,Scran,
ton, and Hazleton in the anthracite
regions The project of running an
instructional train with stereopticon
views showing the proper methods
of mining, is under contemplation
but plans have not yet been perfect
ed.
Beautifying the Campus.
As soon as the weather permits
steps will be taken to improve ap
pearances about the college avenue
side of the Engineering building.
These will consist of the removal of
the unsightly foundry, and the ejec
tion of a retaining wall which will
shut off the view of the coal bins in
the rear of the building. The open
space will then be turned into a grass
plot, with curbing around the edge.

New Apparatus.
The air brake apparatus in the
Mechanical Engineering Laboratory
is soon to be replaced by a corn
plete No. 6.E T. engine and tender
equipment, with explanatory charts.
This change will provide far more
satisfactory means of studying the
operations of the breaking equip
ment as it is now used on train
service

MRS':IOOTH'S LECTURE
An Intetes i ting Subject Well Treated
L( ; • By,Vamous Woman.
Ballington Booth com
monly c bell the "Little Mother" of
the Prisons 'lotured last Friday
night in the Auditorium on her
favorite topic, ''Lights and Shadows
of Prison Life." This woman has
gained a .wide reputation, not only
as a lecturer and orator, but as a
philantropist and Christian worker
among convicts and ex-convicts
from one end of the country to the
other. The largest crowd seen in
the Auditorium in the Y. M. C. A.
course appreciated her message of
helpfulness which went out in sym
pathy for the class of men and
women for whose betterment she is
striving. Mrs. Booth spoke of her
work since its beginning and the
wide proportions it has already at
tained under her own personal guid
ance. Some of the pictures she is
able to bring ,before the hearer by
means of her wonderful words.
preach sermons and tell tales of
prison lite. ' It is said that "The
message is one from • the shadows
inside and out, of prison walls; of
the shadows and of the force and
the strength and the value of sun
shine which has penetrated and
which can penetrate."
This kind of work has no doubt
worked wonders among'ex-convicts
when released from prison. From
the money secured from her lectures
Mrs. Booth supports two Hope
Halls or homes for discharged
prisoners where they may go when
released and left in the world with
out friends so that they may have
means of assisting them in' regain
ing their lost foot hold in society.
Summer Session for Teachers.
The bulletin of the second sum
mer session for teachers, which has
just gone to press, gives some idea
of the interest in and appreciation
of this work, The fact that the
number of courses offered has been
raised to eighty-one is sufficient
evidence of this interest in the sum
mer session.
As an attendance of over three
'hundred is expected and because of
the enlargement in the curriculum,
the corps of instructors will be
strengthened by the addition of Mr.
C. D. Koch, of Harrisburg—State
High School Inspector; Mr. 0. H.
-letter, Director of Music at
Bloonisburg Normal school; Miss
Katharine Moran, of . the State
Normal school at Courtlandt, N. Y.,
and Miss Amy I. Peet, of Lake
Port, Indiana.
COnvention and Fruit Show.
The annual convention and fruit
show of the State Horticultural Asso
ciation of Pennsylvania will be held
in Halt isburg, Jan. 24, 25, and 26,'11.
This will be in connection with
the State Board Agriculture, Penn'a
Live Stock Breeders' Association
and the State Dairy Union. Quite
an extensive exhibition has been ar
ranged for among the fruit growers
of the State and the large list of
varied entries will afford much
chance for competition in all lines
of horticultural products. Prof. W.
J. Wright, of the horticultural de
partment, has charge of the exhibit.
Director Lewis has planned to
give a series of boxing lessons on
Saturday afternoon, from 3 to sp.
rya.; during January, February and
March. This opportunity is open
to all students.
