In an exciting and loosely played game the freshman ball tossers managed to nose out the Lafayette High School Team last Saturday. Ciaig started the game for the Freshmen and managed to hold Lafayette down till the fourth when poor support and errors netted the visitors two runs. Three more in the fifth put 1917 on the small end of a 5-3 score. Cornog then re placed Craig and blanked Lafayette for the next four innings. A home run in the seventh by Carl tied the score and O'Donnel batted out the winning run. An other rally started by Carl in the eighth sewed up the game. Carl’s home run and shoe top catch in the fifth were the star features of the game. Score: — RUE Laf H. S. 00023 0 0 0 0 5 8 7 Freshmen 21000043 x 10 12S 1919 Wins Track Meet. The Sophomores defeated the freshmen on Saturday in the annual dual track meet by the overwhelm ing score of 86 3-4 to 39 1-4. The wearers of green lids were outclass ed in every event except the dis tance runs and the weight events. H. Clark T 7 was the individual high scorer with three first places. The most interesting event from a varsity standpoint was the fast half mile by Entwistle who ran unpaced in two minutes and three seconds. Hammitt for 1916 scored 13 points. The relay race, a new feature, was won by 1916. Mason who ran third made up lost ground and Dol bin had little trouble in keeping the lead. Boston Tech has music with its gym drill. That may help a little. STATE COLLEGE, PA., MAY 6, 1914 LACROSSE TEAM DEFEATED Penn’s Great Defense and Poor Passing by Slate Direct Cause of First Defeat. Penn atoned for last year’s defeat in lacrosse by decisively winning from State on Saturday 4 to 1. Penn obtained the ball on the draw off but soon lost it to State. The attack carried the ball to the Penn goal where numerous shots were missed previous 40 a difficult goal by Hallowell from a sharp angle. Penn came back strong and scored two goals in this half which was long and tiresome. Without detracting from the Penn victory, it must be sai 1 that State did not play up to form. Poor passing and failure to covrr up paved the way to the easy Penn victory. The strong B. P. I. team will play on Beaver field on Saturday. They lost to Swarthmore by a very nar row margin, and, while light, they are very fast and accurate passers. They have defeated Walbrook and Mt. Washington this season.

Sixty persons will take part. The pageant is to be given for the benefit of the hospital, and everything is being done to make it a success in every particular. A small admission fee will be charged. Scholarship Cup The Inter-fraternity Conference scholarship cup was recently form ally presented by Dr. Sparks to the Phi Delta Theta fraternity for at taining the highest general average grades during the first semester. Out of the 17 national fraternities constituting the conference, 444 men were represented giving about 26 men to each fraternity. For these men the average grade in all sub jects was 72 per cent or 12 per cent above the passing grade. The average for each house was very close and in some cases only a few tenths of a point separated them. “Damaged Goods” Before an audience, which, con sidering the charactei and merit of the play, was all to small, Edward A. Mead play “Damaged Goods” last Saturday night, and again lo a somewhat larger audience at the regular 6:30 service Sunday even ing.

Professor Maurice G. Kains, Associate Editor of the American Agriculturist, has been appointed Professor of Horticulture at The Pennsylvania State College and will report for service August Ist, although two weeks will be spent at the College during the month of June. Professor Kains graduated from the Michigan Agricultural College in 1895; he spent the following two years at Cornell University, pursu ing post graduate work, and obtain ed at that institution the degree of Master of Science. After the com pletion of his work at Cornell Uni versity, he served three years in conducting special crops investiga tions for the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. During this period he made a thorough study of special crop problems along the Atlantic Seaboard, and also made several trips to Bermuda lo investi gate problems which were being studied by the United States Gov ernment. In 1900 he accepted the Chair of Horticulture at the School of Practical Agriculture and Horti cultuie at Briarcliff Manor, New York, where he taught, in addition to horticulture, botany, entomology, and some other subjects. After two years of teaching, he became horticultural, agricultural and botan ical editor of the New International Encyclopedia, and later chief horticultural conlributor to the Cyclopedia American. In 1904. he was chosen Associate Editor of the American Agriculturist, and has served in that capacity during the past ten years. Professor Kains is well known by the leading horticulturists of the Eastern States. He has taken an active part in the programs of many state meetings, and has also seived as judge at many of the Eastern Fruit Shows. He is especially familiar with the fruits of the temp erate zone. During his connection with the American Agriculturist, he has served as editor of a large num ber of agricultuial and horticultural books, and he is the author of books entitled "Ginseng Culture”, “Culinary Herbs”, and “Making Horticulture Pay”. Professor Kains’ ability as a teacher, speaker, investigator, and editor, together with his knowledge of eastern conditions and his ac quaintance with eastern horticul turists, make him unusually well qualified to head the Depaitment of Horticulture at The Pennsyl vania State College. PRICE FIVE CENTS THE FLAG SCRAP Freshmen Employ Unusual Means in Winning Colors. Rules Need Revision. Fight a Farce. There has probable been no scrap within the past Ih-ee years or more wlose outcome has aroused so much criticism as the contest last Friday morning. The freshmen won through a ruse that, although clever, has laid bare a loop hole in the flag scrap rules that it will be well to fix before the next scrap is staged. When the gun was fired, the two sophomore wings swung around to form a wedge, splitting the fresh men, and allowing the central body to pass through unchecked. The cloud of soot and flour had scarcely cleared away when a T 6 man climbed the pole and tore down the burlap sack which hung over its top and it was only six minutes after the starting signal when the fake colors wrapped tightly about the top of the pole were thrown down among the struggling fighters. Then it became known that the real colors were inside the top of the pole, and the remaining 14 minutes were spent in a vain at tempt on the part of the ambitious sophomores to scale the pole now slippery with water, for a fourth time. At the conclusion of the scrap the officials decided that the ruse was within the rules governing the scrap, thus settling the question of its legality. Debating Team Loses State’s debaters journeyed to Westminster last Thirsday and were defeated, the woman’s suf frage question being the bone of contention. The debate was the first one of the three remaining on State’s schedule,- the other two be ing with W. and J. and Pitt on May 21 and 22. The Westminster ora tors upheld the affirmative and based their argument upon the rights of the question while the negative team, composed of Geary, Carpenter and Lininger, declared that the expediency of granting the suffrage was the vital point in the controversy. The failure of the negative to fully discuss woman’s right to the ballot spelled their de feat and formed the basis upon which the judges rendered their decision. Rural Credits Authority Coming A. E. Roberts, secretary of the International Committee for Y. M. C. A.
