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.
