Wireles Investigations at State
The Engineering Experiment Sta
tion of this college is conducting
some investigations in connection
with wireless telegraphy. The ex-
periments are under the personal
supervision of Mr. N. H. Slaughter,
a member of the Electi ical Engi
neering faculty. Regarding the
nature of the experiments, Professor
C. L. Kinsloe writes as follows:
"Primarily, the object of these in-
vestigations is to make a mole com
prehensive study than has yet been
made, so far as we are aware, of the
wireless transmission of messages
overland, especially in mountainous
countries, and second, the object of
our station is to furnish opportunity
for experim,ental work, in this field
to the students in electrical engineer
ing at this college.
"At present the sending equip,
ment is of 3 kw. capacity and this
and the receiving equipment were
manufactuied by the Clapp-East
ham Company. The sending trans
former is of the closed magnetic
circuit type and operates at 60 cy
cles. At present there is being con
structed for use a 5 transformer
of fir! 'open magnetic , circuit type
which will be operated at 150 cy
cles. For the early experiments a
temporary antenna h)s been erected
on top of thy- electrical building
which is at present about 90 feet
above the grobnd and is about 100
feet between spreaders. It consists
of four No. 10 wires.
"This college is located in a broad
valley 1200 feet above sea level and
it is surrounded on all sides by
numerous mountain ranges which
rise to about , 1000 feet above the
location of the college. It is plan
ned to erect a portable antenna at
various points on these mountains
and at varying distance from our
sending station, and since the topo
gr'aphy varies considerably in this
district, it is believed that much val
uabl-; information can be obtained.
Thus far these experiments have
been carried to only a limited num
ber of, points within six or seven
miles of the college, but these dis
tances will be gradually increased.
It has been possible so far to
receive from a number of outside
,stations, the most remote being a
station at Cape Cod, Mass. It is
proposed to elect, at a later day,
a permanent antenna of such dimen
sions, as may be found to be best
suited to the purposes and until this
is done and the sending capacity is
increased, it is hardly expected that
much ca I be accomplished in send
ing to other stations."
Tennis Team Has Successful Trip
The Penn State tennis team had
a successful trip last week, meeting
Grove City college at Glove City on
Thursday and Westminster at New
Wilmington on Friday. State found
Grove City to be especiolly strong
in the doubles. With the score 5-2
against our men in the deciding set
of this match, rhey pulled together
and by their indomitable will power
won the set 8-6. The final score
was State 4, Grope City 0.
On Friday, the State racket hand
lers won from the Westminster
team with exactly the same score
that they had defeated Grove City
on the previous day. The results

Tennis Match With Penn
On Saturday, May 27, our tennis
team will meet University of Penn
sylvania on the Armory courts.
This is the fust time for a number
of years that any attempt has been
made to bring tennis teems from
other colleges to play here, and we
have been particularily toi tunate in
securing the Penn team for a match.
We have usually had to meet Penn
on her own grounds and with the
exception Of the wrestling team
which journeyed to State College
last year this will be the only, Penn
sylvania team that has played hete
for a great many years., For a
team which has just been organized,
our tennis team has in'et with wori
derful success and certainly deserves,
the support of every student of
Penn State. Vict ries have been
won trom Dickinson, St. Johns
Gettysburg, Grove City, and West
minster while a tie match was play
ed with tl e Navy at Annapolis.
The members of the team have met
with cordial receptions wherever
they have gone and have clone
much to extend the influence ot
Penn State in this line of sport
among the other colleges.
At the present time, o i ing to the
small
,attendance at the home
matches, the tennis department is
somewhat behind financially. It
would seem, too, from the large']
number of students who play ten
nis on the various courts that the
matches would be better attended,
and yet none of the matches have
received the attendance which they
deserved. Howevei, on Saturday
let us urge every man who can
spare the time to be on hand to see
the Penn game and help by his sup
port to cleat the tennis'clepaitment ]
of the expense which it has incurred
in bringing teams of other col--;
leges to State.
For those who like to see a good
game of tei nis they can be sure of
seeing it on Saturday. Penn has I
always had very good teams and
has had a number of intercollegiate ]
champions. Our team will very
likely be composed of Captain ]
Lloyd, Canfield, and Kncii with
Walton, Stevenson, Schaffer, Mur
phy, ot Hastings in the fouith
position. The match will stmt.!
promptly at 1.30 p. m. ani as there
e no other attractions on Satur
day afternoon every fellow should
consider it his duty to give his 'sup
port to the new department which
has already met with such success.

THE REGISTRAR, State College, ama
Tennis Tournamenis
The past three weeks have seen
the completion of the five tennis
tournaments for the Meek Drug
company':. medals Both tourna
ments r are been characterized by
exceptionally good playing and a
number ot promising men havclbc rt.
found through them. The first ot
the tournaments, the open college
singles, was won by Kneir 'l2 who
defeated Cuthbert 'll, 6-3, 6-4, in
the finals and thus secured the
right to challenge D. W. Lloyd for
the college 'championship. In the
challenge match, Knerr played a
brilliant game and succeeded in
taking two sets from Lloyd, giving
Lloyd the baldest fight that he has
yet had in a college .tournament,
Lloyd, 'however, successfully de
fended his title as college champion.
The second tournament, the inter
fiaternity tournament, was won by
S. Hastings, Alpha Kappa Delta
who defeated Mufphy, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, after a hard strug
gle. Scores 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.
Hastings who has just entered the
college this year plays a steady,
persistent game and is the most
promising player in the freshman
class.
At the preSent tirre the interclaEs
.and the inter-departmeLt tourna
ments are in progress, the I?tter be
ing Just about finished. On next
Mbnday the doubles for the college
champonship will be started, and
the winners will be aVfff. de7d — the
Stevenson fiophy which is now o• 1
exhibition at the Meek Drug store.
Entries for this tournament will be
received up until Sunday evening
and must be posted on the sheet at
the cornea of the Armory. Every
student in college is eligible to Com
pete in this tournament and it is
hoped that these will be a, large
number of enteries as this will be
the last of the series to be played
this spring.
