THURSDAY, FEB. 9:1911 The Lehigh The coming wrestling , Meet meet with Lehigh has aroused considerable enthusiasm among the students at Penn State and the question is on every tongue, "How will it result ?" The corn petitive trials during the past week to select the men who would con- test our opponents in the coming match, decisively showed that we have a team of no mean strength. , It is good indeed to see the spir it of the men who are struggling along to establish wrestling without financial aid from the general ath letic funds, and too great praise cannot be bestowed upon them. This self-supporting department' has as its only revenue, the profit from the actual rale of seats and admission to the meets. The arm ory has been admirably planned to accommodate seven hundred spec- s—aad- standifw.toom for a like number The price of admission appears to be right, and without doubt, there should be one of the largest turnouts'at the .coming contest that has ever been known at Penn State. Baseball Indoor baseball work In Armory was • formally begun in the Armory last Saturday after noon and the turnout of new candi dates was most gratifying. Un doubtedly the loss of Vorhis, Mc- Cleary, Hirschman, Lynch and Leidick will be keenly felt, but the new material is so promising that the coaches feel in no way appre hensive. The fear that the pitching staff would be weakened, has no grounds in view of the fact that among the new men are eight new twirlers. The catching department will be strongly fortified by the ad dition of several new ,fast backstops. Outfie'ders appeared in large num bers and there will undoubtedly be a lively battle for the three coveted positions. In no previo - us season has, there been such a promising turnout of new men, and these in conjunction with the veterans should without doubt build up the strongest nine in the history of the institution Need for Thci c ai e s.till a Financial Aid laige number of out- standing unpaid subscriptions to the paper and the problem of finalice at the rneSent time is a most important one. It chouid be tunerribetvd that the Collegian has taken long sti,tles during this ti ea! to improve its dial- acter and it naturally follows that these advances have been aLcom- youi -,tile,cilption,‘A C lIILW N Oil in %MI mechatLly a • Ttetkl, to it and flop, ,Od .the manavernent to «no'.ltve thv p,ipt 1 'ln its pi c , ,ent low) Lth«)lit Birthday '1 he sei vices in Services. on Sunday mooning will be chiefly commemorative to Abraham Lin- coin, a name now highly iespected by the American community The speakers, Dr. Wm. J Schief- Jelin and Dr. Wm. Sheppaid ale both men who have taken piom- inent parts in betteiing the condition of th 2. negro in the United States and their wide experience amply fits them to eulogize the name of the man through whose efforts human slavery was abolished. The morning service will be held in the Auditorium at the hour of iegula‘ r Sunday morning chapel ex ercises, while at 3.30 p: rn. these will be 'an additional service to which all are invited. In consideia tion of the fact that such notable speakers have been secured, there should be a large attendance and the, Auditorium will undoubtedly be taxed to its utmost capacity. In addition to the above mentioned speakers, there is a strong possibility of having the 'Hampton Quartette from the Hampton Nolmal and Agricultural Institute. , These are indeed great inducements to properly observe the birthday of Lincoln and we fully expect the celebration to be one well fitting the occasion. Keep Off Again, as spring ap eie Grass proaches, we are con fronted with the problem of pre- s(rving the campus. As the frozen gi ound begins to thaw out, and be come soft, it appears to be the right thing to refrain from walking upon it until the grass is in full growth. It would be well to keep this in mind for the next month or so and give the campus the chance to beautify itself, before beginning to walk on it. Forestry Notes The Civil Service Exaininations for the position of Forest Assistant will be held , in Williamsport, be ginning March 8, and , ten or twelve of our seniors will go down to take them Those who pass will be im mediately placed on the National Forests in the West. Unlike most of the government buieans, the Forest service has no waiting list Everyone who has passed thus fat has. been given a position at once. The John E Du Bois Lumber company has offered the depart ment a site for this year's summer school, through the kindness of Mt S. B. Elliot, the State Resit va tion Comm,smoner. It is an un usually desirable location because it is in the midst of some of the best of the remaining vitgin timhei in Pennsylvania, and is neat an ex tensive lumber operation Mr' Du Bois will take the boys and their bagg i age into camp, {torn a lunetion point neat lltittwood, and will give them eve' o - ppottunity to study the timber of the section and the way it is utilized MI Elliot Say:, of the mea "I know of no place in the State whets lumbeling opqa tions will be ‘aiiied 011 so extensoie ly het (mite' m r.ny contiguous aria" Di William Met\ of Yale Uni yetsitv, who died quite ticently, a<, the fast piofessm l Jgr cul tine ut this Lountiy, and chew t p the lust latest map of the United the Auchtonum States Although it has been some years since any agricultural subjects were given at Yale, he gave a course km several years in Forest Physiogiaphy Both Di. Baker and Prof. Feiguson, of our department, took this course under Dr. Brewer. Dr Baker brought back with him horn Germany many in teresting additions for the museum: Samples of tui f, which is used as fuel very commonly in the southern Germany. It sells for about 22 cents a hunched, and burns quickly and cleanly, leaving very little ash. Sample biicquets, used mostly as fuel foi, quick ha files They are made of 'coaldust of sawdust, with some binding material, usually elude tar, Also samples of rail road screw spikes used , in France. They use ties of soft wood, often half rounded or triangular in cross section, and use screw spikes as they hold better. Samples of the axes and saws used in southern Geimany, a model of the logging wagons used in the Alps, and a set of the more valuable planting tools, both for museum and instruction purposes The first of the series of indoor contests—the standing broad jump— was held on February 2. It is un fortunate that the affair cannot be said to have had a, most successful beginning. While the Athletic Di lector expected to k ave at least fif ty _ot .spaenty-ftve men in the event, theie were only twenty-three entries at the start, and this number will not be increased since any participant must be in 'all events to qualify. The work done by the men pre sent, howeveL, was vety :good, and tht \.1 , 1 i,e smile keen cumpelitton be! re the meet is over li.stiad of awarding places in the events,, the judges give the men their results on a percentage basis. This method makes it possible for the men to stick closer together, and will make keener competition. Many of the men in' college are staying out of this meet because they have not been in training. This is a _meat mistake, for all of the events can be executed with lit tle effort and with little need for taimng. It was mainly for the purpose of serving as a method of development that the meet was start ed. Other men ,have been afraid that they would be excluded from the'novice meet in the spring if they won a medal in the present meet. Mr awls has decided that this can hale no bearing on the tack events in the Spring, since the work dohe is in all es ents, and not in one , patticular event In spite of the fact that the in door woik this yea' will not be an , (antic success, on account of the small number of entries, it will rice ei theless sei ve a go od ptu pose ur del. eloping the mu who have entered, and will serve as a stimulus I a greater and mo:e successful meet next year New Fraternity ntablished On S dui day night, February 4, eel monies aecompany,ng the instal lation of the Gamma chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho, agiicultuial hatehnty, were held in Bellefonte he local o,nlniation has a m hei ship of ollowing initia tion the c iaptel gave a binquct in hunoz of the venting othcels.
