Baseball Practice. Coach Manning is very well satisfied with the progress being made in the Armory baseball practice. The pitching problem is fast solving itself. Many of the candidates have fine control and are beginning to mix curves in their delivery. Leibert and Tobin are already approaching June form and J. Craig 'l6 is rapidly approaching Varsity calibre. He has a good build and is showing a willingness to learn. Hesselbacher is proving a disap pointment. He is far behind the rest of the squad and will need much careful training to develop into the pitcher he should be. Robinson at first base has shown the greatest improvment. He learns quickly and is developing in to a good inside baseball man. Weber is showing a world of speed. The man who wins the second base-position from him with have to work hard. Craig, Miller, and Crawford are hitting the ball hard and promise to break up many games wit h extra base hits. Blythe at third base is a polished ball player; while Eliffe has shown varsity form in recent practices. The fight for third between these two men will be watched with interest. With Vogt better than ever the reason for Manning’s satisfaction is apparent. New Faculty Ruling. On Monday the Board of Fresh man Advisors passed the following rule—“ All students coming under the jurisdiction of the Freshman Board of Advisors, while on proba tion,while deficient in any past sem ester's work or while below grade in- more than three credit hours of current work are prohibitied from taking part in any college activity outside of regular class work.” This rule seeme to be a continua tion of the growing attempt to “start the freshman right." It prohibits any freshman who has a D or an E in last semester’s work from playing varsity or class base ball, from taking part in the Thespians, or Glee Club and other college activities, and so on until the conditions have been removed; it effects in the same way, fresh men who are on probation or who are below grade in more than three credit hours, until their standing has improved to such an extent that they are no longer on proba tion or below grade. New Credit System- A credit unit system, said to be in vogue at 25 of the leading insti tutions of the country, is being con sidered for adoption at Penn. Un der this system,credits will be based on mark’s attained rather than the mere number of hours carried. For example, under the Penn State system of marking, a certain num ber of credits would be given for A work, fewer for B work and still fewer for C work. Consequently a a man with high marks might take less work than a man with low marks, and it would be virtually impossible for a student with no grade higher than C to finish in four years without taking an un usual number of hours. Joint Meeting Last Friday there was held a joint meeting of the student board and a committee representing the faculty Council of Administration, at which the Honor System was discussed. It is planned to recom mend some definite system to the general faculty for adoption, but as the whole proposition is a student affair both as to origin and final en forcement if adopted, the student body will no doubt have an early opportunity to express an opinion by popular vote. Some they come and some they go, but Samoset Chocolates stay forever. No necessity for us to make a change. In securing a line of chocolates we want the best. We got it. We know it, and have competitors admit it. GRAHAM ON THE CORNER Efficiency of Wireless. Word was recently received that signals sent from the wireless station at The Pennsylvania State College were picked up on Feb ruary 25th at the Uuited States Navy station at Portsmouth, N. H. The distance in a straight line from State College to Portsmouth is about 400 miles and this is the furthermost point at which signals from State College have been re ported. No physical exercise credits will be given to students at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania unless they pass an examination in the form of athletic’s they pursue. Michigan University has more living alumni than any other insti tution of learning in the country. There are today 22,000 men and women who have received degrees from Michigan. Harvard stands second with 21,000 liv-ng graduates and Yale third with 18,000. Yale University is building a large new artificial hockey rink. The dimensions of the arena will be 200 x 185 feet.
