WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1913 From present in- The dications no ex- Class Teams cuses from drill are apt to be given to men taking part in interclass ath letics. For the past few years only—has it been customary to grant such excuses, and this new move in reversal of former practice on the part of the Military depart nlent has been made necessary be cause of the widening field of inter class athletics and the large num ber of men taking part. As it would be impossible to spare the service in the regiment of all these men isf6iii - Osei=ifirty" athletics this spring, and as it would be unfair to excuse those in one sport and not thcse in another, the rule of "no •excuses" has been made universal ,This condition may prove to be somewhat of a handicap to the various teams affected, and the members of the teams deserve great credit for their double duty in "physical education". However, the feeling should not be encourged that these: teams have been merely a device to free certain favored ones from military drill, and that when this desirable feature has been removed, no further advan tages can, be gained! On the con trary, interclass athletic teams have proved to be valuable means of developing varsity material; and men taking part should place first in their minds the service which they are performing for their class and their colfege. When this is considered, the matter of exemp tion or non-exemption from drill seems of little consequence. Thoughtlessness there was acci dentally formed on the New Beaver baseball field a large, freshly dug hole, covered with sod so as to be con cealed from the ordinary observer, supposedly one of the many which have been dug as "possibilities" for the long expected flag scrap. Just why it was placed in the mid dle of the baseball field still re- mains an unanswered question. However, it would seem to most people very unwise to even consider holding a class scrap on a carefully kept field which must be in perfect condition every day for varsity athletics. There is also to be kept in mind the possible danger of a varsity player being seriously injured by accidentally stepping through the thin covering of sod into the hole. One night last week Why? was marked by a rather wholesale destruction of Athletic Association property in the shape of hurdles, jumping standards and the like, kept near the track grandstand on New Bea ver field. This questionable act was performed presumably by underclassmen out on "flagscrap activities", or by others spending the evening out-of-doors "for other purposes". At any rate, such an occurrence is something for which there should be no motive what ever, and which should receive the disapproval of everyone. More over, it should be the duty of those concerned in the affair to make proper restrictions for the entertain ment afforded them with such destructive results. ENGINEERING NOTES The Mechanical Engineering de partment has finished testing air frictioh carburetors, and is now pre paring to make a thorough test of the Holly carburetor, during the next few weeks. This carburetor is not yet on the market, and will not be for at least a year; the one that the college has was made especially for these tests and is a kerosene carburetor. The air fric tion carburetors tested recently by Mr. Bates have shown the best economy of any so far examined. Mr. Dedrick, of the Milling En gineering department has received inquiry from a Massachusetts firm for a student who will graduate this year from the Milling Engineering course, and who will be capable of taking charge of a flour mill. This communication from a concern in another state indicates that interest in the course given here is being aroused. The Pennsylvania Railroad Schools for apprentices, which are under the general supervision of the School of Engineering, have been extended to include branches in Philadelphia, Altoona, Harrisburg and Wilmington. The number of men receiving instruction is nearly four hundred. Track Schedule Difficulties The chances of another Pennsyl vania Intercollegiate Track Meet some time ago were rendered slight by the fact that many of the mem bers of the association had joined a "Middle States Conference" formed last fall, which will hold a meet on May 24, a few days later than the date proposed for the Pennsylvania Intercollegiates. The Penn State management held to its agree ment as to the yearly Inter collegiates at Harrisburg until the withdrawal of such colleges as Lehigh, La Fayette and Swarth more made a certainty of no com petition. At that late date admis sion could not be gained to the Middle States Conference, and a meet with western colleges of Penn sylvania was substituted. Some press comment has recent ly appeared to the effect that the withdrawal of Penn State, Lehigh and others was because of a "conspiracy" to freeze out the In dians, whose prowess was feared: This will hardly seem reasonable when one considers our victory at the meet last year, and the fact that for some time Manager Clark has THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Distinctively Individual To turn out high grade laundry work is a fine art.

Free Concert A complimentary concert will be given by representatives of the Birmingham School of . girls in the Auditorium at eight o'clock' Satur day evening, April 26th.
