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.

The Penn State A moreremark
able exhibition of
true college spirit will never be
found than that demonstrated by
tha student body at the wrestling
meet with Lehigh on last Saturday
night;
Fifteen hundred students loyally
cheered the Penn State and Lehigh
men with equal vehemence and the
reception to the visiting team in the
armory was most cordial and friend
ly in every detail. 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.

Address by Mr. Fred C. Keigbley." !
The address given by Mr. Fred
C. 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.
