The Death It v/as with a deep
of Di. Gill. tceurg of
10.-s that the College
recc. .er. ihe news on Monday morn-
ing o' tne death of our beloved
chaplain, Dr Benjamin Gill. Al-
though he had been :n failing health
for some time and unable to per-
foirn his dudes in the class room
and as college chaplain, his loss
comes as a distinct shock to the
college community Ever since his
airival at Pern State :n 1892, Di
Gill nas maintained a place of pio-
founds t icspect ai et admuation in
raeu'tv members and
the hen: is of
students alike
As pioressoi of Greek and Latin
and Dean oi tne School of Lan-
guages and Intuitu.e, he wni. al-
ways just, chieiful, kindly, and
hcdpful, as College Chap’ain he was
a man o. tremendous strength of
cha-airer of optimistic and lovable
heart, and of true, Chiistian-
ity. He stood foilli foiycrsasa
man to tc admired, to be loved.
e\cnto be ’o\cied —a splendid ex-
-j\ery student and cvciy

fuceltv mtnibei in the college.
Although lutme classes may
hear the name of benjamin
Gill only as a memory, it means
much inoio th«n that to the oldei
men now m college, and to the hun-
diecls of men who ha\e been giadu
ated fiom Penn State. To them
the name will always stand as a
symbol of one of the world’s real
men a heio.c figure laboring earn-
William T. Ellis, an editor of
the International Christian Endeavor

vestigating social, religious and po
litical conditions. Mr. Ellis has ad
dressed conventions all over the
country, and has written books of
“One who never turned his backj ~o^e'

The President’s Dr, Sparks leaves
Vacation. tomorrow on a
well merited \a-
cation, and will sail foi Egypt on
Wednesday, accompanied by Mi".
Sparks and Miss Ethel Sparks.
The Piesident has had no extended
vacation since he came to Penn
Slate four yeais ago, and the Tius-
tees at their recent meeting granted
him a leave of absence as an appre
ciation of his continued work for
the college. While the absence of
President Sparks will be greatly
felt throughout the campus, we are
glad for his sake that he is able to
take this much needed \acation, and
wish him all the benefits which may
possibly be derived from it. Stu
dents and faculty join in wishing
him and his family “Bon Voyage]! ”
and a very pleasant vacation.
Indoor Competitive Meet.
Directoi Lewis has arranged for
an indoor competitive athletic meet
to be held in the Aimoiy. The
whole student body is eligible to
enter. The idea is to make the
division of men into schools, the
Engineering, Agricultural, Two year,
Natural Science, Mines and Liberal
Arts Schools being represented.
The meets are to be held every
Monday and Thursday evenings
starting with last Monday. The
twenty-five men making the highest
scores m each place will be the only
points counted. The number of
ii,en from each school within the
twenty-five highest will count for
the respective schools. At the
close of the contest the school hav
ing ihe greatest number of points
wll eventually win.
Each evening of the contest there
will be held ten events, the standing
bioad jump, 35 yd. dash, spring
board high jump, 35 yd. low
hurdles, running broad jump, 25 yd.
dash, runn'ng high kick, running
h : gh jump, 35 yd. high hurdles and
the pole vault.
The object of the indoor meet is
to eucouuge more men in college
to take advantages of the gym
nasium. In working for their re
spective school, men will lose sight
of the individual, and work for the
g'ory of the school and for true
sportsmanship Sake.

Blue and White Will Wrestle Cornell. I
In the first contest of the season
of 1912 Penn State will wrestle
Cornell at Ithaca next Friday even
ing. The result of the coming
event will be very close, the inten
tion of the men of Ithaca being to
wipe out the score in which a fall
by Neidig and decisions by Mor
rison, Very and Lesh made
the victory possible for the
Blue and White last year. The two
teams which will oppose each other
tomorrow night will have greatly
changed since the last meeting.
Cornell lost three men who scored
against Penn State last year, while
foui new men are in our own squad.
The following men will represent
State in the different classes: —115
pound Park, 125 pound Callender,
135 pound Fulkman, 145 pound
Shollenberger, 158 pound Very,
light heavy weight Captain Lesh
and heavy Lamb. The team will
leave for Ithaca at 11:50 a. m.
Thursday. Mr. Lawrence Con
nelly, the boxing instructor at Cor
nell, will act as referee.
At the dose of the Gettysburg
basketball game the final trials were
held for the Cornell trip. A thou
sand spectators stayed for the pur
pose of getting a line on this year’s
team and demonstrated their loyalty
to the team that will bring new hon
ors to the college. The trials were
fast and snappy. The fact that
nearly all the candidates had pre
viously wregtled each other in prac
tice caused the men to be
rather cautious at the start, but
they soon showed the proper
spirit —the one by means of skill
and endurance has beaten in the
past Yale, Columbi;, Cornell and
other strong teams.

WE WONDER
If our basketball team was not
playing in speedy style last Thuis
day evening.
If the wrestling bouts after the
game on Thursday were not mighty
interesting.
If, too, it is not plainly evident
we have able substitutes in each
class.
If Cornell will be our firs, victim
in wrestling.
If that was not an excellent con
cert on Saturday.
How many of us failed to witness
that exciting interclass basketball
game last Wednesday.
Why some one does not compose
and write words to several good
songs for use at the coming wrest
ling meets.
If it was not a rare treat to have
Dr. Sheppard with us.
We carry a
