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

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

way it is utilized MI Elliot Say:,

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
