BASKETBALL SITUATION
Penn State Will Complete Success-
ful Season.
From present indications the
1914 basketball season at Penn
State will be an unusuall one in
comparison with the records of
former years. The first half of the
schedule has now been completed
with a record of five victories and
two defeats, both of the latter hav
ing been played under extenuating
circumstances. These seven games
with the exception of the Gettys
burg game have been with the
more prominent teams of the west
ern part of the state so that our
standing in that section should be
evident. The next four games
will be played with repre
sentative teams of the eastern
part of the state so that by the
completion of the schedule an
accurate idea how the Penn State
team stands with regard to Penn
sylvania collegiate basketball will
be gained.
On ana'ysis of the Pennsylvania
League the situation would seem to
indicate that Penn State has more
than an even chance to . play in
the series. Pitt’s poor start to
gether with the loss of some of her
best men have placed her out of
the running while it remains to be
seen what W. and J. will do away
from home. If W. and J. and Pitt
break even in their series and Penn
State wins both of the league
games - remaining—and this hypo
thesis seems to be a fair one—Cap
tain Binder’s team will play in the
final fight for the championship of
the state.
The game next' Saturday , night
with F. and M. will be the' first
game of the eastern series and will
afford all those ’ interested in the
team a basis of comparison with
the colleges to be played on the
trip to be taken February 19, 20,
21, including games with Swarth
more and Lehigh and a return game
with F. and M. This basketball
game in connection with the wrest
ling meet will afford an unusually
good evening's entertainment for
Penn State students.
Federal Building.
Proposals submitted to the fed
eral postoffice department were
looked into by Mr. Bramwell Davis
government inspector, who was in
State College last week. Matters
have been held up by the exces!
sive costs of sites offered the gov
ernment, only $lOO,OOO being avail
able for both site and building, by
act of Congress.
The apparent first choice of the
inspector is the property on the
south-east corner of Allen St. and
Beaver Ave; second, the corner of
West College Ave. and Burrows
St.: and third, the south-east corner
of Beaver Ave. and Pugh St. The
final choice of property will be
made later.

Colleges and Athletics
Over one million dollars are
spent yearly for college competitive
athletics according to figures given
out at the annual convention of the
National Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation held at the Hotel Astor,
New York City, on December 30,
1913.
Although this large amount of
money is spent yearly in this way
the report shows that a relatively
small number of men are engaged
in competitive athletics. Of the
111,000 students in 150 colleges of
the United States, only 18,359 are
participants in varsity athletics,
while 45,378 take part in non-var
sity athletics and games upon
which only $71,000 is spent annual
ly-
Out of 143 colleges, 37 per cent,
are doing nothing to foster and en
courage the types of physical exer
cise and healthful recreation that
the student is likely to use in after
college life; 53 per cent, try to
create a love for sport by using dif
ferent games, such as baseball,
handball, volleyball, tennis and
golf; 21 per cent, give corrective
exercises; 14 per cent, give hygiene
lectures; 5 per cent, require swim
ming; 5 per cent, have “hikes”, and
2 per cent, teach dancing.
