1917 Beats Lafayette.
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: —

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.
GIRLS TO ELECT QUEEN
Affair of Beautiful Costumes rind
Imposing Setting to be Staged
Soon—Dances and May-pole Drills
in Program.
Preparations are now under way
for a May Day fete to be given by
the fairer portion of the student
body within the next three weeks.
This event, which perhaps will be
the most novel ever presented by
the fairer element, will include light
and airy music, a number of cos
tume dances, two May-pole drills,
and, to complete the whole occa
sion, there will be a real May
Queen. 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. The moral lesson of the read
ing was unmistakable and proved it
worthy of all the commendation it
has received.

tions, Cranston was elected presi
dent, Crawford first vice president,

VALUABLE ACQUISITION
To Faculty. New Professor of
Horticulture Noted for Work in
Agricultural Liues.
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.

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

International Committee for Y. M.
C. A. County Work, who has just
