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
