SO p •r rear or $1 25 if paid within 30 day, after late of au "antiphon THURSDAY,_ FEB. 16, 1911 Track House During the past Renovation week, a much need.: ed improvement has been made in the furnishings of the track house. For the past few years the old building has not been properly kept up, mainly on account of a lack in funds, and this year found the rooms and floors in a most deplor able condition. • Recently there has, been so much discussion of the of the matter that it appeared ab solutely impossihle to longer re frain from making the necessary improvements. The athletic 'asso ciation immediately acted on the best of a number of suggestions and the outcome of these has resulted in a most thorough renovation. It is strikingly important that the quarters of the college athletes should be fully as comforable as the best of the dormitories, and every -step should be taken to attain this project. It is further apparent that a great• number of students, who make the track house a loafing apartment, should be more consider ate of the welfare of its inmates. Those men have to do more work than the average student and their time is particularly valuable to them _ for this reason. If a man has busi ness to transact in the building, let him go there and attend to it, but to use it merely as a place to kill time is entirely wrong and assuredly should be abolished. Keep this in mind now that the base ball season is approaching and every varsity man is needed on the trips. Let them attend to their work without interruption, so th:t they may able to keep up, in their class work and their records will be unquestioned at the time scheduled for the baseball trips.

In victory or defeat both contesting teams shared in the appreciation of the student body. When Dr. Drinker, presi dent of Lehigh University can e into the armory, the great student body arose in a mass and greeted him with a ringing cheer. Lusty cheers for President Sparks, Mrs. Sparks and Mrs. Drinker followed in quick succession, thus recording in college history an event which probably has no predecessor in the annals of' any university. In a word it was a spectacle that will not be forgotten and in giving credit where it is rightly due, the Penn State student body deserve the warmest praise for their generous and thoughtful act. Next Meet at Yale. After their victory over Lehigh last, Saturday night,, the wrestling team, encouraged by its success, is putting , every effort forward to make the meet with Yale on Feb. 24 at New Haven, a repetition of the recent meet with Lehigh. In Yale a formidable foe will be met. Last Saturday they defeated the Navy wrestlers, winning four bouts, all of which were given to that team on superior form and , aggressiveness, while Navy secured the only two decisive falls in the match, State will be seriously 'handicap-1 ped by the absence of Captain Diehl whose injury, received in his bout Saturday night, will keep him from the' mat for the remainder of the season. Morrison, who has been wrestling in the, 145 pound class will probably be able to train down to the 135 pound weight, and thus take Capt. Deihl's place. Even then the 145 pound class will be well taken care of by Karcher, Fulkman, Bogar, or Knapper, any of whom will be,able to give a good atcount of himself. At any rate, the ~wrestling team, with • any of these men representing it, will put up a good fight for a victory with the experienced Yale grapplers. Forestry Notes. The School of Agriculture has as signed to the Forestry School a plot of ground to be used for nursery purposes. 'ihe area, lying to the west of the Forestry building, is well suited for the purpose, as it is level, and the soil conditions are good. The department has ordered a large number of Year-old Conifer seedings for transplanting, and they will be set out as soon as conditions are favorable. The nuscry will be kept in excellent condition, and is expected to aid in bettering 'the approach to the atheltic field from `that side. I At the Corn Show' recently held in Columbus, Ohio, the United States Forest Service was repres ented by Mr. Zon, who lectured on forestry subjects of general interest.

Keighley, to the Engineering so ciety of the School of ' Mines, on Wednesday evening, Feb. 8, was one of the most interesting that has been given this year. Mr. Keighley is the superintendent of the Mines of the Oliver and Sny der Steel company, located at Oli ver, Fayette county. He has been connected with coal mining work for forty years, starting in as a mule driver, and has passed through rfractically every step to his present position. He has been assistant 'engineer, fire boss, mine' inspector, engineer, superintendent, and finally general manager. His lectu e dealt with the prob lems met with in his experience, and described the operations of the mines with which he is connected, at the present time. The lecture was illustrated by maps which were remarkable for their size, one being fully fifteen by twenty feet, showing the entire workings of his company The lecture was throughly practical. very instructive, entertaining and in teresting, and was throughly enjoy ed by the members of the Society. Lecture by Prof. James H. Breasted. The lecture given 'by Professor James Henry Breasted on Saturday night in the Auditorium was very well attended, and most acceptably given. His subject "Camp and Caravan on the Ethiopian Nile", I was treated in a way that made it I not only instructive, but highly in teresting as well. In order to ',ac complish their purpose of explor ing fully the ancient ruins and tombs, the members of his party were forced to undergo strange ad vu tures and, at times, harsh pri vations. The journey through the land, formed by the "S" of the Nile, made by caravan and boat furnished peculiar and interesting events at all times. Prof. Breasted's description of the trip through the third cataract of the Nile was par ticularly fine. The pictures were exceedingly good, and were well selected to give a broad interesting impression of tne region. Alumni The following articles were taken from the news Bulletin of the U.'S. Coast Geodetic survey. On Jan. 3, L. M. Fisher, Aid, was ordered to the steamer "Gedney". The "Gedney" is on chart revision work in Puget sound. On Jan, 20, C. D.
