Cross Country
Cross country running at Penn
State has become a factor of con
siderable importance in our minor
sports but not to such an extent as
this form of sport merits.
This year when the first call for
candidates was made 18 men re
sponded. When the call for foot
ball men was made over 100 re
sponded. Contrast this with the
U. of P. results of the same calls.
Penn responded to the first call for
cross country to the number of 80
men and the first respond for foot
ball men was 75. What causes this
difference?
There are more men capable of
making good at cross country in
our institution than there are in
making good at football. The
physical benefit is just as
great and although the recom
pense, so far as glory and taking
trips goes, falls below football, still
it is considerable, and is growing
steadily each year.
Negotiatlons are at present under
way to match our team with college
teams both in home contests and
on foreign ground. The first of
these runs occurs in New York,
November 22, at which time six
men will probably be entered in the
contest. Meets of similar nature
will occur from time to time during
the winter.
New men, who desire to try out
in thii sport, are urged to report on
New Beaver Track immediately.
The squad practice occurs every
afternoon. Candidates should give
their names to the assistant track
managers and men who give indica
tions of promise will be excused
from further drill at once.
The Sunday Evening Concert
Following the custom of former
years, the combinined musical clubs
of the college rendered a concert
last Sunday evening, closing the
Pennsylvania Day festivities. Be
sides the orchestra numbers, the
Glee Club and the Mandolin Club
selection, there was an excellent
reading from "Les Meserables,"
and a solo which was worthy of a
more perfect tribute than was ac
corded it. The orchestra rendered
its two seleCtions almost perfectly
proving that it has lost nothing of
last years ability. The Glee club
too, is better than ever, thanks to
Professor Robinson's abundance of
material and careful training. The
members of the Mandolin club gave
evidence of much patient practice
in the way in which they rendered
their two numbers. The novelty
of the evening, however, was the
freshman quartet, which sang "Still,
Still With Thee." All four mem
bers showed ability and we shall
look forward with pleasure to hear
ing them again. In all ways the
concert was an undoubted success,
and those who are in charge of the

BY THE WAY
Rutger's trustees recommend that
the faculty; prevent the students
from wasting their time at such
things as athletic sports, boating,
glee clubs, etc. Exchange of 1882.
The University of Pennsylvania
is planning to erect a chapel costing
half a million dollars.
The Athletic Association of the
University of Pennsylvania at the
end of the last college year estimat
ed a loss of $18,300 for the year of
1912-13. Football was the only
sport which made money last year.
Other sports were run at a loss
ranging from $2OO to $lO,OOO.
Even the football team did not
make as much money as in former
years. The eleven has always
done the lion's share in keeping
down the losses. The total net
gridiron receipts last fall were
$54,000 and the expenditures were
$47,000, leaving a margin of $7,000
profit.
Light logic:—Hitting the ball
high does not improve the batting
average. A liberal minded chap is
one who thinks the same as you.
Never explain. Your friends don't
require it and your enemies won,t
believe it.
Engineering Exhibit
The School of Engineering. in
cooperation with the State Depart
ment of Labor and Industry, held a
safety exhibit in the Engineering
Club room on Friday and Saturday
of last week. One of the most in
teresting features of the exhibit was
a collection of photographs sent by
the Aetna Life Insurance Company
of Hartford, Conn. This collection
numbered about 1000 and illustrat
ed safety devices in use in wood
working, metalworking, grinding,
tanning, foundry work, and various
other manufacturing processes.
When we realize that 232 working
men are killed or injured every
hour, it is apparent that any move
to decrease this number, most of
which can be prevented, is a move
which should be commended and
helped. This collection was in the
charge of Mr. H. H. Richardson,
Safety Inspector, in the company's
Bereau of Inspection and Accident
Prevention. A similar collection
was awarded a commemorative
medal by the International Exposi
tion of Hygiene of Dresden, in
1911, and is now part of the per
manent collection in the Berlin
Museum of Safety.
Mr. Fleming of the United States
Bureau of Mines visited the college
on Thursday and Friday November
6-7 and give a number of moving
picture lecture oa First Aid, Mine
Rescue, Mining and Metallurgy.
