PENN STATE VOLUME 9 NUMBER 28 INDIANA TAKES MEET Indiana Normal and Harrisburg High Winners in Their Classes Fast Time and Sensational Per formers Feature the Meet. Contrary to general expectations Indiana Normal nosed out the fast Mercersburg track team for first place in Class A in the Interscho lastic Meet last Friday, winning the meet with sixty-six points to their credit, two more than the Mercersburg men could accumulate. Bloomsburg Normal and Bellefonte Academy followed in this class with eleven and seven points to to their credit, respectively. In Class B, Harrisburg High proved an easy winner. For sec ond honors Harrisburg Tech fol lowed closely bunched with Johns town, Sewickly and Philipsburg in the order given. Although the meet was well bal anced in every event the work of two men—Robinson of Mercers burg and McMasters of Sewickley High—was always conspicuous. Robinson, in this meet, aided by a slight breeze, gained the distinction of breaking the world's record in the 220 yard dash in the phenom enal time of 20 4-5 seconds. His - performance in the 100 yard event was almost equally remarkable. His time in this event was 9 3-5 seconds in the semi-final. The final was won in 9 4-5 seconds. McMasters in the High School c. , Lass,-*Ecs the nis markable athlete took first in the 100 yard dash, broad jump and pole vault. He tied for first in the 220 yard dash but lost on the toss up. Other individual performers who showed up well were Maxfield of Mercersburg in the weight events, Meyers of Indiana, in the dashes and hurdles; M. Palm of Philips burg, in the weights, and Schneider of Bellefonte Academy in the broad jump. Harrisburg High School carried away most of the prizes for Class B, receiving together with individu al medals, one year's possession of the cup, the banner, and a scholar ship. The other scholarship for this class went to McMasters, the Sewickley High School boy. Indi ana was the heaviest winner of Class A.

STATE COLLEGE, Pk., MAY 7, 1913 HOME RUNS WIN GAME Miller Opens Game With Clout for Circuit and Leibeit Practically Wins his Own ' Game With Another Four-bagger For the third time this season "Shorty" Miller opened a home game by hitting a home run. This clout started the scoring in a game which furnished all kinds of baseball, from the rankest errors of commission and omission to some of the best plays pulled off on the local diamond this year. After nine and two thirds inning's of this baseball "medley," Penn State emerged a winner over Albright by a 9-to-8 score. Following Miller's four base hit the visitors became generous and errors followed by hits by Mason and Keller added two more. Not to be outdone, the locals at once became altruistic and soon helped the visitors to a cne-run lead. Crawford however even matters in the fourth. He walked, stole second and caught the visitors nap ping by going all the way home on Henderson's infield hit to Pownall. In the seventh Moll's error placed Kominarski on second. Keller had walked and when Moll attempted to complete a double play on Kominarski's sharp hit to Pownall, the ball went to the bleachers. Mc- Kibbens hit scored.Koininarski. Benfer opened thi : f eighth with his third single, but_thkgs brighten ed when . goll forced him at second, Liebert to McKibben. Liebert however booted Hummel's tap to Mason who could not pick up the ball to complete the play. Hartz ler singled, Yost went out to first; but Keller errored Shreffley's hit and Pownall cleaned up with his third single of the afternoon. Mil ler immediately singled for Penn State—Crawford and Henderson couldnt help but Mason scored the midget after he stole second. Two down in the ninth for Al bright, Moll singled, stole, and scored on Hummel's hit. Things looked gloomy for Penn State when Keller, first up in the ninth flied to Moll. Kominarski walk ed, only to be forced by McKibben, Hartzler to Moll. Coach Kelchner had put away his bats—Leibert had two strikes—Shreffley shot a straight one over in the groove and when Hummel and Yost had caught up with the ball Liebert had cross ed the plate and the score was tied. Lieoert then put on steam and blanked the visitors in the tenth, but Shreffley was not so lucky. Liebert's hit had evidently unnerv ed the lanky visitor.. Crawford walked, Henderson singled and Mason was hit. With the bases full, Shreffley regained control momentarily and retired Crawford and Henderson at home on infield hits by Hittner and Keller to Hartzler and Pownall respectively. Then he again failed to locate the plate and Kominarski walked, forc ing in Mason with the winning run. The allround work of Miller, and Mason with Lei ert's bitting featured for Penn Stat while Pow nail and Benfer were -hining lights for the visitors. Mill r's catch of Shreffleys long hit t right center in the tenth saved tro ble for Lieb ert. Pownall looked Ito be about the fastest man that has appeared on Beaver Field for some moons. CO LLEGIAN.

Eagles Mere The world is wondering whether college men are going to take the place of leadership expected of them. Too much real heart blood and too much mo•ley is being put into our colleges if they are but to give men advantages for selfish advancement. Where can you find a better atmosphere for discussing this great question than that engen dered by a large group of college men, meeting in a quiet spot sur rounded by all natural beauties, Iworking freely and frankly under the leadership of sympathetic and experienced men who have made a stccess of life. At the Middle At lantic Conference there is plenty of time for personal intercourse with leaders and other college men; time to be alone; free afternoons for ten nis, baseball, golf and long walks—every opportunity for lead ing a normal life while coming face to face with the world's greatest problems. The conference begins June 13, two days after Commence ment, and lasts until June 22. PRICE FIVE CENTS FRESHMEN WIN SCRAP The Freshmen Successfully Defend Their Flag for 15 Minutes. Scrap is Tame The new flag scrap between the freshman and sophomore classes took place last Saturday in the presence of a large group of spec tators. The day proved itself ex tremely warm for the beginning of May and a continued stream of water from the fire hose had to be played upon the contestants in order to cool the atmosphere and to settle the dust in the vicinity of the contest. The sophomore class, which was 100 yards distant 'rom the pole hole, at the signal, made a quick dash for the pole, throwing soot and flour at its opponents during the attack. The freshmen immedi ately after the signal had no diffi culty in erecting the pole, and at the same time certain factions of the class grouped themselves around the erected pole, while oth ers endeavored to impede the ad vance of the sophomores. In a very few seconds practically all of the freshmen had found themselves around the pole, while the sopho mores made continuous attacks from without, in order to get near the center. The main portion of the scrap was characterized by the lack of concerted effort on the part of the 1915 men, and by the individual contests which ensued on the out tleirti at tne" contest. The scrap in a way might have been called tame, because no team work was evident, and because the fellows persisted in wrestling around the exterior in stead of making rushes and concen trated attempts to reach the pole. Before the 15 minutes had elaps ed however, several sophomores had succeeded in reaching the pole, and it is difficult to predict what the outcome of the altercation would have been had it lasted much long er. Although both classes fought hard for the period, the scrap in itself proved to be exceedingly one sided and therefore really of no special significance or worth. It is an easy matter for the freshmen to erect the pole, and no especial skill is required to prevent the sopho mores from accomplishing much in a fifteen minute period. The poor feature of tearing each others clothes off, was again prevalent although this in reality cannot be avoided in the present manner of conducting the scrap. Whether this new form of con test shall be established for years to come, will be for the student body to decide. It is plainly evi dent however, that no opportunity is given to the sophomore class to succeed, and therefore the 15 minute scrap, with no end in view would seem foolish. The size of our two under classes is also an obstacle, and very probably the flag scrap and the other scraps will have to go in the near future. J• P. Stewart is now absent look ing over orchard sites in Virginia. He will also visit some of the pecan plantations of Georgia in the inter ests of the Kreg Pecan Company of Williamsport. Mr. E. B.
