Track Prospects.
If one dares to predict this early,
Penn State will have on the track
next spring, one of the strongest
teams that has ever represented this
institution.
Captain Lum, Savery, Michener,
Piner, Maybe, Hayes, Leyden, Key
ser, Henny, Clemmer, Elliot, Lamb,
Chamberlain and Fischer, as well as
a score or more of second string
men are already working out daily
on the Mew Beaver Field track.
The trials two weeks ago brought
out some promising men. Hammitt
of Mercersburg, the holder of the
inter-scholastic hurdle record, Craig,
a quarter miler, who has already
covered that distance in 52 sec.,
Schroder, the easy winner of the
high jump, and Tannehill in the the
weight events, are among those
who showed up well. These men
will, doubtless, make slrong bids
for varsity positions in the spring.
Professor A. L. Wright has been
made coach of track and cross
country at Penn State for the first
semester. Mr. Wright graduated
from Brown University in 1906. In
1898 he ran with the New York
Athletic Club in the open national
cross country championship. Our
new coach established a new mile
record in the New England Collegi
ates of 4 min. and 24 sec., which
was not broken until 1911 when the
record was lowered by 1-5 of a sec
ond by Keith of Wooster Tech.
Mr. Wright is not only a long dis
tance man of unusual ability but he
is also a middle distance runner of
wide reputation, having done the
880 yard sprint in 1 min. 57 sec.
His ability, as coach, has already
been demonstrated by his develop
ing many of our present best dis
tance men, at a time when he was
but slightly connected with our ath
letics.
A glimpse over the various
events shows how strong a nucleus
remains from last years point win-
With Clemmer and Henny to be
reckoned with in the broad jump,
Maybe and Hayes in the pole
vault, Piner and Leyden in
the dashes, Elliot for the high
jump, Lamb and Ewing for the
weight events, and Lum, Keyser
and Leyden for the runs, together
with several very good second
string men and the new material,
State should turn out next spring a
winning team.
Manager Clarke is already at
work on a schedule that will not
only be attractive but will call for
the very best efforts of every in
dividual member of the team. As
it is too early to state anything with
certainty, nothing definite can be
said concerning the colleges that
will be scheduled, but it is strongly
intimated that Penn State will clash
in the spring with some of the
strongest track teams that are to be
found in the eastern states.
An out-door board running track
will soon be constructed near the
Armory which will aid in keeping
the men in trim during the winter
months. This addition will, doubt
less be of great value as it will
make track work possible through
out the entire school year which
up to this time has laid practically
dormant during the winter season.

Changes in the Rules of Football.
The more important changes that
will tend to affect the style of play
of football made by the Rules Com
mittee of fourteen universities may
be summarized as follows: —
Ten yards to gain in five downs
or four tries, one more than last
year.
Onside kick eliminated for the
purpose of encouraging the running
game.
Forward pass allowed over the
goal line for a distance of ten yaids
for the purpose of weakening the
defense inside the twenty-five-yard
line.
Twenty-yard zone on forward
pass eliminated, with former provis
ions for interference with man re
ceiving the pass retained.
On touchback ball to be put in
play from the twenty-yard line in
stead of the twenty-five-yard line,
as heretofore.
Value of touchdown increased
from five to six points. Other
scoring values to iemain the same.
Team winning the toss has option
of kicking off or of leceiving the
ball from kick-off, the losers of the
toss, however, to have option at the
beginning of the second half.
Playing field shoitened from 110
yards to 100 yards.
Kick-off must be made from ten
yards back of the center of the
field, or from the offensive side’s
forty-yard line.
Number of officials leduced by
one, the field judge being eliminat
ed, with his duties going to the
head linesman.
Bounding ball over the crossbar
not to count as a goal.
Intermission between first and
second and third and fourth quart
ers reduced from two minutes to
one minute. —Philadelphia Press.

The New Physical Director
W. E. Lewis has been promoted
to the position of the dilector of
physical education. Because of his
added duties, the new director will
have six 'student assistants. The
new men, Shollenberger ’l3, Stiles
T 4, Hess T 4, Ciockett T 5 and
Liebensberger T 5, will assist in all
gymnasium work.
The interior of the Armoiy has
been repainted and some new ap
paratus has been installed, while on
the outside a new court has been
added to the popular Armory ten
nis courts, and an outdoor basket
ball court fixed up.
One of the features of gymnasium
work this year will be the special
nights each week when the assist
ants will instruct the students in the
use of apparatus work. Dining the
fall, boxing, tumbling, and gymnas
tic work will be icatuicd. Rules
governing the use of the gymnasium
will be posted. A gymansium
to be what it should I e „hou!d have
all its rules carriul out to the very
dot. Director Lewis deseives a
square deal. Let us nol hear even
once Lewis’ "Heic 1 here 1 Fellows,
don’t do that.”
The Gymnasium has been assign
ed for the exclusive use of young
women students on Thursday and
Saturday mornings, the last hour.
The Gymnasium in the Woman’s
Building has been turned into a
class room because of crowded con
ditions.

Cross Country Running.
Less than two weeks ago Captain
Keyser issued a call for cross-coun
try mnners. All were invited. No
disci imination or qualifications
weie made. The result was disap
pointing. A very few iesponded.
Fellows, what’s the mattei?
Here is a chance for every man
to make the track team. Here is a
chance for every man to benefit
himself, physically. The squad is
in chaigc of one of the most profic
ient coaches in the country and no
man need do more than he is able.
One of the essential things in the
development ot a good track team
is cross country. All men who
desire to try for half mile positions
and ovei, are strongly advised to
take part in this most fascinating
spoit.
Football, now, seems to be hold
ing the minds of nearly everyone
but do not join yourself • with those
who only see the present. We not
only want to beat Cornell in foot
ball but we want to do it in cross
countiy this winter and in track in
the spring.
Penn State will have, this yeai, a
cross country team that will engage
in several comests. Plans aie still
in the embryo concerning meets
with Piinceton, Cornell and an intei
collegiate to be held here; so, fel
lows, there is something to lookfor
waid to.
Repost to “Prof.’-—Vprrghl in the
Aimoiy at 4:30. If this is not
possible, on account of classes, a
second squad leaves the Aijnory on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays
at 5 p. m.
