Have You Ever Noticed
that in any game where a hall js
used in a competitive
way, that the ofTicinl
ball always bears this
trade-mark, whether it
be football, basket ball,
indoor baseball, la
crosse, baseball or any other athletic
game?
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.

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.
Have you power in prayer ? If
not, why not ? Hear Dr. Tomkins,
6:30, Old Chapel. Chance for per
sonal interviews daily from 10-12
and 2-4 through Y. M. C. A. office.
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.
