Wednesday, April 1, 1914 One of the most Athletic regretable features Development of the amendment which removed two year men from varsity sports was that a large group of men ceased to derive the benefits which accrue to varsity candidates. The two year men have removed this feature by the formation of an athletic association which staged their first program last Thursday. The association is exceedingly —well organized 4s was shown by the efficient management of their first meet held during the previous week. It consists of the regular offices with an advisory board chosen from the most prominent athletes in the college. The varsity coaches and trainers have volunteered their services in helping to make this movement a success. These men are matriculated in a branch of our college and are con sidered to be Penn State men. They have much good material in their classes and will turn out good teams. Would it not be of value to interclass leagues to issue them an invitation to membership? The interest in the leagues would certain ly be strengthened. Perhaps some good athleties who showed promise could be induced to change their their course. No doubt in time games outside of college could be Played but in the infancy of the association it would seem imprud ent to take on such burdens. The two-year classes are to be congratulated on one point ot least, namely, that they have realized the need of organization and met that need on their own initiative. No such organization exists in any class of the four year course. The need of an organization for intra-mural athletics has been con sidered for sometime. Why not meet that need? In a December issue Will You readers of this paper Boost? were urged to present to preparatory seniors the claims and advantages of State College. Since that time, due to the activities of State graduates and undergraduates, numerous stu dents , having the necessary State qualifications have had their atten tion turned to our college. More than this has been accomplished’ for many men of both high scholas tic and athletic attainments have signified their intention of entering State in September. To paraphrase a forceful state ment of a recent speaker: “If our college is worthless, let us set about to improve it; if it is the best in the land, as it undoubtedly is. then let us build to keep it where it During the coming vacation most of our readers will ruh shoulders with ideal State men in the making. If any one of them has ability in scholarship, literary or athletic lines speak to him! Urge him! Tell him the truth about State and he will be here in September. Many school principals will open the doors of the school to you. Let no stone remain unturned! Open the valve of State spirit and boost! Dan A.
