Then* must be n reason for this uni versal adoption by the lending organ izations connected with sports, and there is a reason -no one can make them as good. The same argument applies to all things athletic. A. G. Spalding & Bros. 126-128 Nassau St., 520 Fifth Avenue, New York City. THE SPOTLESS SHOP A real City barber shop Pastime Building GEO. W. LOHMAN The Tobacco Store Geo. B. Jackson Holn>Qs Bldg., Allen Street THE KHOCICER He comes strolling over the campus with a slow drawling stumb ling motion. He swings a book in one hand and allows the other hand to dangle at his side. He is at odds with the world; if he had the power everything would be changed by him, and no one would share the earth with him. He would keep the birds from singing. It would never be allowed to become bitter cold nor extremely warm. Work or responsibility would be incon ceivable. Everything would be changed. He thinks the thoughts of one who dreams on, but accom plishes nothing. He can’t see anything good in the Professors. They are all know nothings looking for soft snaps, He thinks that gymasium work is mere bosh designed to add to the already innumerable miseries. His fellow students are his ene mies, He should shun them as much as possible. He feels that he should get his credits before he enrolls; that the University simply adds insult to in jury when it asks him for tuition. He can see nothing good in the school activities. He says that athletics are cut and dried, and a good man like himself never gets a chance. He can see nothing good in the college paper, the editors are a bunch of moss backs who never write'any news and use the columns to further their own interests. A hard lot is that of the knocker. He deserves sympathy and not scorn; he may someday wake up and realize that the successful man is not the knocker, not the indi vidual who lives behind the screen of skepticism; but the man who gets out, does his best, and gives his own energy in every possible re form. We thank the Pitt Weekly for this. The Ag Recepti on, Some seventy-five or more Ag men who stayed in town over the vacation may have missed the big gest game of the year and a glori ous time in the Smoky City, but tiny did not miss Dean Watts re ception to his men at his home Thanksgiving evening. From all reports that have come to our ears, the affair was an unqualified suc cess. There were games to be played, songs to be sung, lots of chances for becoming acquainted, and refreshments as a matter of course. The reception came as a fitting climax to an enjoyable day. Announcement, Manager Wood of the Pastime Theatre announces a change in his former custom in that he will in the future present a big extraordinary feature on Saturdays on which day the admission will be 10 cents to all adults and five cents to all children under 12 years of age. "Babe” promises us some fine features the like of which have never been seen in this county and hopes the change in admission price will be accompanied by his patrons’ desire to see better and "classier” features.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN The Forum Society. The program of the Forum So ciety for its regular meeting next Wednesday evening promises to be a lively one, and a source of mush entertainment as well as profit. The present plans are to devote the entire hour which is usually occu pied by the meetings of the society to a debate, the question to be dis cussed being: Resolved, That the movies ars detrimental to this col lege. The affirmative will be ar gued by Adams and Rounds, and the negative by Morley and Diet rich. Following the formal debate the question will be thrown open to the general discussion of the so ciety. At the last meeting J. P. Vincent read an original short story, Dupp stadc, who himself has been around the world several times, gave an ex tremely interesting talk on Globe Trotting, which he made the more vivid by showing pictures of the various points of interest. It is interesting to note that at least three of the men who are at present working on the college de bating teams are members of this literary society. The training af forded by such an organization is invaluable, and although the mem bership has increased materially in the past few w -eks, still more men should find their way onto the Forum roll. The only require ments for membership are that the applicant be in good scholastic standing, that he be interested in the things with which the society deals, and that he be willing to work.

Freshies Lose to Sophs in Soccer 4-1 The freshman team played and lost its fiist interclass game of soc cer to the sophomoie aggregation Monday, November 23, by the score of 4to 1. Daily varsity prac tice has made class practice almost impossible and the freshmen felt the lack more decidedly; they were aggressive and played well individ ually but lacked team work. All the scores were made in the first half. The ball was always in fresh man territory, and the passing of Cope and Capt. Wilkinson of the sophs was directly responsible for all the goals which were credited, respectively, to Coombs, Bennet hum, Nicholson and Cope. Last Monday at 4:10 the freshmen and juniors clashed.
