Last Wednes-
Right Direction marked an im-
portant step in the
advancement of our athletic re-
lations. Previous to this time no
regulation had been in effect con-
cerning the restriction from our
athletic teams of men registered
otherwise than in regular four year
courses. Since the entrance require-
ments of two year specials are less
than those of our regular courses,
and also less than requirements for
entrance to other colleges of our
standing, the step in raising our
athletics, scholastically, is a very
wise one. The following clause
was incorporated in the: Constitu
tion of the Athletic Association.
"A student to be eligible for in
tercollegiate Athletic competition
must be fully matriculated and in
good standing in any of the four
year courses of collegiate grade."
Penn State has grown in the last
few years from a college of minor
importance in numbers and strength
to one of the first rank. Her
alumni are becoming known
throughout the land, her athletic
teams rank with the best among
the colleges and there is no reason
why the rules governing her athletic
representatives should not conform
to those of the other colleges with
whom Penn State is on a par. On
the other hand there is every rea
son for better and more explicit
regulations as to who shall represent
Penn State on her various athletic
teams. The embodying of this
resolution into the constitution of
the Athletic Association is a step in
the right direction and the forerun
ner of the one-year resident rule,
which must likewise come in the
near future if Penn State is to re
ceive the credit due her for the re
sults obtained by the wonderful
athletic teams she has been devel
oping in the last few years. With
the adoption of such provisions
Blue and White teams of the future
cannot be denied their proper rat
ing among the leaders in college
athletics, a standing which they so
frequently deserve and so seldom
and grudgingly are given.
It is erected in the
Very Dangerous Armory for our,
indoor athletic
events, are of a collapsible form,
and naturally are not as firm as the
permanent type. This fact should
be born in mind whenever we have
occasion to use these bleachers, for
the continuous swaying and jarring,
which they must endure at such
times, may result in a collapse
which would injure many if not
cause the death of some of the oc
cupants.
Since it is impossible to provide
more stable bleachers in our Arm
ory, and since danger lurks in tax
ing the strength of the same in oth
er than quiet occupancy, it be
hooves all of us, who use them, to
act so that dreadful calamities may
be avoided. It might be well to
suggest also that since over-crowd
ing may lead to the same result as
swaying, jarring, pushing, pulling
and struggling, in the future these
temporary bleachers be not filled to
their utmost capacity. Let us re
member that it is easier to avert the
disaster than to repay the losses
ensuing from it.

The Baseball Outlook
With a wealth of new material
and twelve men from last year's
squad to choose from, the pros
pects for a successful baseball sea
son loom up brighter day by day.
Coach Manning and Captain Whit
ney have both expressed their con
fidence in the team, which will be
picked to represent us on the dia
mond this spring, and feel that
there will be added improvement
shown over last year's team, espe
cially in the hitting department of
the game.
New men, who are making strong
bids for positions, are: Craig, Bier
er, Keller. Yourison, Unger, Has
selbacher, Baughman and Hart.
Old men, who have reported, are:
Craig, Henderson, Whitney. Ward
well, Liebert, McKibben, Crawford,
Miller, McCracken, Maloney, Ma
son, Vogt and Hartz.
The existing crowded conditions
in the Armory have greatly handi
capped Coach Manning in his work
and there are doubtless many can
didates who have failed to show
their best form under these circum
stances. It is very probable that
there will be no outdoor practice
prior to the Southern trip which be
gins April 19th.
The Board Track
The board track, which is now
being built north of the Armory,
will doubtless prove to be a valua
ble addition to our track equip
ment.
The new track has a length of
four hundred and forty teet and is
nine feet in width. The corners are
to be banked to a height of three
and one half feet which will enable
a runner to maintain most of his
speed while rounding the corners.
Special arrangements may be
made with the physical director
whereby a student, who is now tak
ing gym drill and who intends to
compete for the track team in the
spring, can have his present indoor
work transferred to outdoor work
on the track. It is expected that
the track will be completed this
week.
Leland Powers.
Next Saturday evening the col
lege Y. M. C. A. will present Mr.
Leland Powers, who has merited
fame and distinction as an imper
sonator of dramatic literature.
The art of Leland Powers is that
of a master. He has many imita
tors, but none of them are his

Mention Penn State Collegian
when calling on or writing to
advertisers in this paper
equal. He has long been recogniz
ed as a standard by which all simi
lar work is judged, and the highest
compliment that can be paid any
other artist is to place him in the
same class-44:ith Leland Powers.
The splendid vigor of his work be
tokens the man of clean mind, sin
cerity of purpose and the keenest
insight into character. These quali
ties make his art enduring. It does
not matter so much that he is master
of the technique of his work; that
alone could not give him the place
he holds. His knowledge of life is
abundant, his humor true humor,
and his pathos true pathos. Cari
cature is never indulged and melo
dramatic effects in the story are
never permitted. He is not only
capable but 'sincere. He seems
utterly unconscious of his medium,
so that the results seem as natural
as the many types one meets on a
walk up Chestnut Street or Broad
way.
If you do not possess a course
ticket, do not hesitate, but come
and hear this famous impersonator.
Williamsport Dance.
The Williamsport Club will hold
its first annual dance, at the Park
Hotel, Williamsport, on the evening
of March 25th. A cordial invita
tion to attend is extended to all
Penn State men.
As this is the evening before the
opening of school after Easter, stu
dents returning by the way of Will
iamsport and who desire to attend
this dance, can make excellent con
nections the following morning and
arrive in college at 11:10 a. m.
Philadelphia Banquet.
The Alumni Banquet, held in
Philadelphia, February 10, was the
largest Penn State Alumni banquet
held in that city. President Sparks,
Mr. A. S. Hackett, three trustees of
college, H. W. Mitchell. J. F.
Shields, F. W. Barlow and others
spoke. Short addresses were also
made by Messers Gibson, of the
Westinghouse, John Trautwine and
Hathaway, a prominent engineer of
Philadelphia. Ninety persons at
tended the affair.
