BASEBALL TEAM
RETURNS
Creditable Record Made in Games
With Leading Teams in College
The Blue and White baseball
team returned Friday morning from
1 a trip which included an invasion of
New England. Of the six games
played, State won two, tied one, and
lost three. Unfortunately the team
played its best games with the
weaker teams. The first game of
'■tthe trip was played with Lehigh
University at South Bethlehem.
The game went to a twelve inning
tie with all the scoring in the first
three innings. Liebert started the
t game but was not in shape and
gave way to Hesselbacher in the
fourth inning. No runs were gar
nered from his delivery during his
sojourn on the slab.

The second game was played at
Easton with Lafayette. Up to the
beginning of the sixth inning State
led 4-2. Errors coupled with some
hard hitting scored seven runs for
( Lafayette, which was enough to
win. The support may be judged
by the eight errors committed by
State.

State played the best game of
the trip against the University of
Vermont, winning by the score of
5-3. Vermont was both out-hit and
out-fielded in an uphill battle. The
game was played in a drizzling rain
which no doubt aided Hesselbacker
with his speed in striking out 12
batsmen.

S The next game found Liebert in
form and the heavy hitters of Dart
mouth had to be content with four
hits. The fielding of Captain Mil

the other features of a well played
' game.

State left Dartmouth immediate
ly after the game and traveled all
night to reach West Point. This
long jump was a primary cause for
the Cadets first State victory since
1904. Liebert repeated but eight
errors again caused his downfall.

The last and most important
game of the trip was lost through
our inability to hit when hits meant
runs. The game was slow and
poorly played by both teams. The
long jumps had their effects and
should be a lesson in the arrange
ment of future schedules.

Kiski vs. 1917
The Kiskiminetas baseball team
will play the freshmen, Friday,
May IS, on New Beaver Field at
4:00 p. m. This team is one of the
strongest scholastic teams in the
state and will give us an opportun
ity of comparing the possibilities of
our freshman athletic teams of the
future with the freshman teams of
our rival institutions. The game
will be free to students. The line
up of the freshmen will probably
be the same as the one which fin
ished the Lafayette game.
STATE WINS LACROSSE GAME
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute De
feated in An Exciting Game.'
One of the most interesting la
cross games of the season was
played on Saturday afternoon when
State won from the fast Baltimore
Polytechnic Institute team by a
score of Bto 5. The field was wet
and soggy, but in spite of this,
both teams played a fast game.
The first half ended with a tie
score, 4-4. In the second half,
however, the State team by super
or playing were able to add four
more goals to its score, while the
team from Baltimore secured only
one goal. Farley and Gallagher
played an excellent game for State,
while Sellman starred for the vis
itors.
Next Saturday State will meet
the strong Hobart team on the
home grounds. Hobart has won
the majority of its games, and the
game Saturday promises to be a
good one. Later in the season a
game will be played with the
famous Toronto team. This team
is said to be the best in the world.
Inter-fraternity Meets.
On Saturday the trials for
the inter-frateinity relays were held
and hotly contested in all heats

the winners.
First heat, Phi Gamma Delta;
second heat, Sigma Pi; third heat,
Delta Tau Delta; fourth heat, Sigma

will take place along with the
events of the inter-class meet.
On Saturday May 23 the second
annual inter-fraternity track meet,
will be held and the Intercollegiate
order of field and track events will
be observed. The prizes for this
meet consist of a large silver loving
cup which goes to the team winning

the same team win the meet three
times, they can keep the cups per
manently. There are also 28 steins
offered as prizes for 1 first and
second places. The fee for each
fraternity is $1.50 which is levied
to cover the cost of prizes. All

Mr. A. G. Roberts of New York,
an international secretary of the
Young Men’s Christian Association
who has charge of the rural work,
addressed the various religious
meetings of the college last Sunday.
Mr. Roberts in a very forceful man
ner, presented to the stndentsthe
great opportunities for Christian
service in the rural communities
and small towns. He made a
strong appeal for college men to re
spond to the need in these places,
and interested many men in this
line of service.

STATE TRIUMPHS
OVER. F & M.
Errorless Ball and Hard Hitting
Feature Home Team’s Return.
Hesselbacker Fans Eleven,
The baseball teami after return
ing from its annual trip east, easily
defeated Franklin and Marshall
Saturday on new Beaver field by
the score of 6-2. Shorty Miller
reached second on Mylin’s
error in the first; went to
third on Crawford’s sacrifice hit and
scored on a passed ball. Two
came over in the fourth. Josefson
doubled and came across on Web
er’s three-base hit. With Vogt at
the bat, the squeeze was worked.
Weber scored and Vogt died at
first. In the next inning Crawford
strolled; advanced to second on a
sacrifice and scored when Mylin
fumbled Craig’s hit. Robinson
flew out to center, but Josefson
walked and Weber scored Craig on
a single. ,
Franklin and Marshall scored in
the fifth and eighth by bunching
two hits in each frame. Weberi
Hesselbacker, and Josefson were
the leading hit—smiths, while
Hesselbacker continued as a strike
out artist, breezing eleven. The
improved inside play of the team
was one of the most pleasing
features of the game. Nearly
every man can lay down a perfect
sacrifice when the occasion de
mands it. Captain Miller’s bunt
in the sixth inning could not have
been better placed.

Regimental Inspection.
The varsity soccer team closed
one of the most successful seasons
ever enjoyed in that sport. Mana
ger Gregg arranged a very attrac
tive schedule, and the Blue and
White won a big majority of their
games. The game with West Vir
ginia University, which was intend
ed for the spring season, was can
celled by them at a late date.
An application was made last
Saturday for admission into the
Intercollegiate Soccer League which
held its annual meeting at Columbia
University on May 9. If we gain
admittance, an even greater stimu
lus can be looked for in that sport,
and it will give Penn State a chance
to compete against such colleges as
Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Col
umbia.

Only Captain Savery and Buch
anan will be lost to the team by
graduation; these two places will be
hard to fill, but after the creditable
showing of this year’s team, and a
good promise of an extensive
schedule for next season, a larger
number of men than ever should
report for the team next year.
Two games have been played in
the interclass league. The sopho
mores defeated the freshmen who
in turn defeated the juniors. The
sophomore-freshman contett was
closely contested throughout, the
work of Smedley T 6 and Cope T 7
being of particularly high order.
The closeness of the score prom
ises a great game on the underclass
athletic day of Commencement
week.

NEW BARN
TO BE MODERN
Plana Drawn up by Head of Dairy
Husbandry Department. Will be
Completed by September 1.
The new Dairy Barns now being
constructed in the rear of the pres
ent barns located east of the Agri
cultural Building are expected to be
completed this sunmer and will
better the present equipment of the
Agricultural Department. The
plans call for three sepraate barns
connected with each other by eight
foot closed passage ways. The
main building, the Feed Barn, will
be 100 feet long and 36 feet wide.
At right angles to this the Dairy
Barn, which will house 63 milk
cows is to be built, 129 feet by 41
feet. The third building or the ex
perimental bam which is 36 feet by
80 feet will complete the U shaped
plan of placing the barns. All
three buildings are to be construct
ed with hollow tile with red brick
window sills and stucco exterior.
The roof is to be of red asbestos
shingles.
The Cow Barn is to be sani
tary and up to date, all corn
ers to be round and the in
terior all white. No sills o
ledges will be built, even the win
dows and the interior all white.
No sills or ledges will be built, even
the windows are to be placed flush
with the wall and are to be doubly
constructed affording warmth in
the winter and coolness in the sum
mer. It is to be equipped with
sanitary stanchions and stalls and
special carriers for conveying feed
and liter will be built. At each end
of the Feed Barn two 18 foot silos
will be placed, the design of which
will conform with that of the other
buildings.
The college has carried on the
building of the barns under the
supervision of Mr. Miller who built
the Horticultural Building and the
Presbyterian church. All purchas
ing is being done by F. K. Hofstet
ter, the college purchasing agent.
The architectural Department pre
pared the plans under the advise
ment and direction of Prof, Larsen
and are out of the ordinary in gen
eral arrangement and grouping.
Instead of the hay being stored
above the animals, the hay and
grain barn is separate making it
more sanitary and at the same time
preventing loss of the animals in
case of fire. The co-operation of
the different departments in con
struction and preparing the plans is
a step in the right direction and not
only lowers expense but insures
better results.
Team to Go West
Next Saturday the baseball team
will play West Virginia Wesleyan
on Beaver Field. This team has been
playing in hard luck but has won
the majority of its contests to date.
On Monday night the team leaves
for its Western trip. On Tuesday
W. and J. will be played at Wash
ington. This team is easily one of
the best college clubs in the East,
having defeated Lafayette 'and
Pittsburg handily. On Wednesday,
Pitt will be played. They are very
strong in the box and on compara
tive scores appear to be about our
equal. They have lost to Prince
ton, Lafayette and W. &J. in well
played games. The last game of
the trip will be played on Thursday
with Carnegie Tech.
