In their victory over the Seniors on Saturday night, the sophomores won just claims to the champion ship in basketball among the class es. Just at this point it will not be amiss to review this year’s most ex citing season of the sport which the majority of the fellows have sadly . neglected and failed to support. Probably the most important work of the league is to develop varsity material, for in past years certain varsity stars have been the products of class teams. Among the promising men developed by this year’s league, Captain Binder of the sophomore team appears most worthy of a.varsity berth. This little captain excells in all de partments of the game, especially in goal shooting, and as leader of his team he has not only led them to championship but has also won several games by his own individ ual efforts. It is rather difficult to choose particular stars from the number of interclass favorites, but Murphy and Maybee of the junior team and Loveridge, Binder and Bright of the senior team have shown good form at all times, and they look promising. The Fresh men did not produce any stars, and their work was rather dis- appointing but the other three class- es were represented by teams of almost equal strength, and. the five men on each team were well balanc ed in playing ability. Thus it is hardly fair to me ition several with out mentioning all of the men on the senior, junior, and sophomore teams. Trials for varsity next year will show who of the low er class teams are deserving of praise. A peculiar and yet interesting feature of these games in interclass basketball was, that the three up perclass teams were so evenly matched. Games played between any two of the senior, junior, or sophomore teams were always most exciting and thrilling to witness, for the outcome was never certain until the final whistle was blown; and then in three of the contests an ex tra five minute period was required to break the tie. In fact almost any kind of interesting games could be seen. A certain game was won in the very last second of play, the ball being in the air at the time when the whistle was blown. Three games were decided by one point and most all of them never were won by a large number of points. The freshmen put up a game fight in every contest they were called upon to play, and they often looked dangerous but were able to win only one game. Considering the pleasure side of it,this league was decidedly success ful, for it provided any number of interesting games, and the best kind or basketball was exhibited. How ever, the fellows failed to take an interest in a cause which was worthy of their support and which really needed it badly, for the close of the season finds each manager in debt. Interclass basketball should not be dropped, by anymeans, but at the same time, it should receive more support from the fellows if it is to be continued next year. It is altogether impossible for any man ager to run a team properly, under Tfie Royal Union Mutual of Des Moines, lowa Has never lost a dollar either in principal or interest. Its policies are protected by a deposit with the state. They have made the best settlements ever made by any insur- ance company. They have the lowest participating premiums.

Young men often say to me, “What good will a life insurance policy do me if I die ?”. Bless your heart, tell me of anything that will do you any good if you die. But it will do others good. It will help to reimburse that mother or father, if you die, who scratched and saved to put you through college. And if you live and keep up the pay ments to maturity, I can tell you of policies that will not only protect those you love or to whom you may be indebted for funds to complete your course, but will pay you back personally at maturity all you put in or more. Do you know that after you have paid one full annual prem ium in my company, should you become totally and permanently dis abled and nnabld to earn money, your policy will become a fully paid policy for the face of it ? The latest wrinkle in life insurance. Let me tell you about this—also many other things that will surely interest you —and make you money. INew York. Life Ins.

We, who live in comparatively comfortable and pleasant surround ings, very often fail to realize the trials and tribulations that some of our more unfortunate brothers and sisters in the slums undergo. Mr. Jacob Riis in a very interest ing lecture last Saturday evening, discussed emphatically the reforms that have been brought about in the slums of New York, and those that for the sake of humanity, should be carried out. The evening was opened by sev eral enjoyable selections rendered by the mandolin club, which evi denced that this musical organiz tion is still as good as ever. Mr. Riis opened his discussion with a vivid description of his own life. His early experiences mani fested the hardships that a foreigner has to endure, when he first puts his foot on American soil. With a series of slides, Mr. Riis portrayed the conditions existing in the habitations of the poorer class of New Yorkers. He pictured the old and wretched tenements, which are a curse to its inmates, and again he showed the modem structures, which afford healthful and pleasant environments to their tenants. In his entire dissertation, Mr. Riis •PENN STATE) [COLLEGIAN JAMES I. THOMPSON General Agent JESSIE D. WHITE, 124 W. College, Ave. Now-a-days its COES & YOUNG’S SHOES • G. F.

His address must have been appre ciated by his audience, and let us hope that it will remain as a lasting impression, so that the "terrors of the slums,” will in the near future, be a meaningless phrase. 1915 Exhibition.
