THE COLLEGE
BOY’S WEDDING
Annual Y. M. C. A. Show Played
Before a Full House—New and
Entertaining Feature Presented.
An exceptionally large audience
witnessed the presentation of The
College Boy's Wedding in the Au
ditorium on the night of Washing
ton’s Birthday. This performance,
by some of the best actors of the
faculty and the student body, was
well received by the spectators who
vigorously applauded them at fre
quent intervals throughout the four
acts. It cannot be said that this
show scored as big a hit as did The
College Widow —the Y. M. C. A.
show of last year. The play in
itself did not appeal as strongly to
a college audience as did the Col
lege Widow, but Mr. G. Stuart
Brodock had his characters as well
coached and put the whole pro
duction to such a perfectly finished
form that, a truly, highly entertain
ing show was the result.
Several new features among
which were a song, a dance, and
two unruly calves were introduced,
and they contributed largely to the
brilliancy of the show. In the
first act, “The Sweet Co-ed” sung
by Miss Kough and company won
much applause from the audience.
The figure dance in the fourth act
"was One’S! tEeTmost brilliant scenes
ever presented at an amateur play.
A white and a black calf aided in
an excellent manner to introduce
“Fanner Hedges” and “Zeke" in
the first act. The black calf proved
to be the “black sheep” of the com
pany by being very unruly. Never
theless the calves provided much
amusement for the audience.
Every character was well por
trayed and each member of the
company contributed a large part
toward making the show a success.
Professor Crockett as “Prof.
Pitcher” did not disappoint his
audience in the least for he pleased
them with his astounding elucida
tions throughout the show and in
his famous “between-the-acts”
speech.
“Uncle Hedges," a Vermont
farmer' could not have been better
represented than ' by Prof. Crandell
who mastered his part in such a
skilled .manner that he received
much applause at all time. “Mrs.
Josiah Hedges” was well enacted
by Mrs. Frank Gardner. The two
servants “Zeke” and “Sally Ann’
Pickle” were portrayed in a fault
less style by Mr. Ashbrook and
Miss Lawsing, The latter had an
exceptionally difficult role in repre
senting first a country hired “gal”
and then a French maid.
Miss Vivian Snyder as “Ruth,”
the daughter of "Josiah Hedges,”
displayed cellent performing abil
ity both as a charming country
maiden and as a stunning society
favorite.
F. M. Sellkregg arid Gordon Her
on, as “Ned” and "Ted," provtd to
be two lively college youths who
happen to fall in love with the same
girl. “Miss Parkman” represented
Miss Davis. Oliver Vogel as “The
College Boy” filled a big part in the
cast. “Mrs. John Rallston” was en
acted in a very able manner by Miss
Margery Lyon. Mrs. Cochel as
“Miss Watterson” was a very

nessed the two games of interclass
basketball on the Armory floor Fri
day night. Both contests were
typical of this year’s interclass
games —close and exciting. The
one between the juniors and the
seniors was especially sensational
and thrilling.
In the first game, between the
fresman and sophomores, the form
er showed their best form of the
season and for a time threatened to
hand out a severe trouncing to 1914.
However just as soon as the sophs
found themselves, they took a
lead of several points and held them
to the end of the game.
Although the 1914 mem kept a
safe margin all through the entire
two periods, the freshmen were
not loafing and had they been bet
ter able to cage the ball upon
numerous attempts, the score
would, probably, have been favor
ing them. Their playing otherwise
was very good and in some respects
excelled that of the sophomores.
The seniors and juniors engaged
in a very rough battle which re
quired an extra five minute period
to decide to whom the victory be
longed. Binder figured largely in
the scoring for the seniors by cag
ing five field goals while Maybee
worked almost as hard for the jun
iors by scoring 19 of the 27 points
made by his team.
At the beginning of the second
half with the score 16 to 7 in favor
of the seniors, the 1913 five began
to play a fast game and soon
showed excel'ent all-around team
work. After the score had
been tied in this period, the result
of the game was always in doubt and
the team alternated in leading by
not more than one or two points.
The seniors tied the score in the
last minute of play and in the extra
period which followed, won the
game by the score- of 28 to 27

Lectures on Economic Agriculture
at Columbia.
During the present winter Colum
bia University has been offering a
course of sixteen lectures on econo
mic agriculture. Representative
men from five different agricultural
colleges were selected to give these
lectures, and three of these men
were selected from the Agricultural
School of this College.
On January 10, Dean Hunt lectur
ed on “Com Growing in the East”;
on February 21, Prof. R. L. Watts,
Head of the Department of Horti
culture, lectured on “Truck Farm
ing and Its Problems Near the Great
Cities”; and on March 13 Dr. J.P.
Stewart, Professor of Experimental
Horticulture is to on “Or
chard Management with-' Special
Reference to Fertilization and Spray
ing”. 1
The fact that three men from
this institution were chosen by the
Columbia University to deliver lec
tures in their course surely speaks
well for the reputation .of Penn
Slate and also for the ability of the
men who compose its faculty.
