STATE WINS
UPHILL GAME
Captain Park’s Team By Improved
Play in Second Half Defeats
Harrisburg Collegians.
One of the fastest basketball
games in the memory of under
graduates resulted in a 33 31 \ ic
tory for the varsity on Saturday
night in the Armory. Closely
guarded near the basket, the visit
ors took an early lead by their
ability to shoot accurately from a
distance. In the first half their
floor work easily excelled the var
sity and at one rime they lead 18-8.
At the end of the period the score
was 18-12. The team had started
out with improved form when Wal
ton replaced Blakeslee at guard
who in turn replaced Hostetter at
forward.
The second half brought about a
great improvement in our team.
With the half nearly over a field
goal and a double foul turned into
points by Blakeslee tied the score
at, 29. Field goals by each team
tied the score again at 31 with forty
seconds to play. At this point
Blakesless clinched the game with a
field goal from a toss up by the
referee. The Line up

i Basketball Trip This Week
The mettle or the basketball
team will be put to test this week
when they play the Westinghouse
club, Pitt and W. and J. The lat
ter two game series in the league
formed last year. A handsome
cup will be awarded the champions
this year.
The Westinghouse Club has al
ways been a good game and should
put the team in good shape for the
W. and J. game the following even
ing. The Pitt team, no doubt, will
be the hardest to defeat. They
have an experienced coach in
Flint, formerly of Penn; Ochsen
kirk, Lubie, McCullough, Healey
and Graham remain from last year’s
team, and the freshman class has
produced a number of good play
ers. Two freshmen who are al
most sure to win places are blast
ings and Maston. In view of the
game played Saturday night, State
will give a good account of herself
on the first trip.

On Friday night, Jan. 15, there

FOR TRACK MEET
Attractive Indoor Schedule Arrang.
ed for Track Team - Outdoor
Schedule Practically Unchanged.
The increasing strength of the
State track team has warranted the
recognition which it is receiving in
the addition of more indoor meets.
In arranging the schedule it will be
noticed that a wide area is covered
which, with the undoubted strength
of the team, should result in con
siderable favorable advertising.
The indoor schedule at present is
as follows: February 5. Fifty-fourth
Regiment Aimory, at Buffalo, Feb
ruaiy 19, Johns Hopkins at Balti
more; February 27, Georgetown
University at Washington; March,
date unsettled, Crafton; March 23,
P. A. A. at Pittsburgh. The first
two dates are pending.
The complete outdoor schedule
follows. April 24, Penn Relays at
Philadelphia; May S, Lehigh at
State; May 14, State Interscholas
tics at State; May 22, Western
Pennsylvania Intercollegiates at
Pittsburgh, May 29, National Inter
collegiates; June 7, Pittsburgh at
State.
The Civic Club
The regular bi-weekly meeting of
the Civic club will be held in room,
202 Engineering building, on Thurs
day evening. Weimer and Marsh
will have charge of the current
events, and Fisher and Henning
will discuss the matter ot propor
tional representation. There are
three former presidents of the club
in town just now and they may be
induced to give short talks. The
meeting should prove very interest
ing and all members are urged to
attend.
New Baseball Coach
Negotiations have practically
been completed which will bring
R. J. Harley here this year as the
new baseball coach. He graduated
from Georgetown in 1896 and
has played on the following
major league teams: Philadelphia,
St Louis, Cleveland, Detroit and
Cincinnati. He has managed
Toronto and as a coach has been
very successful in coaching Villa
nova College, Blair Academy, and

STATE COLLEGE, PA., JANUARY 13, 1915
PENN OFFERS ;
FOOTBALL GAME
Old Rivals Desire to Resume Foot-
ball Relations One Year Rule
Brings Numerous Requests fur
Big Games—Schedule Nearly
Complete Harvard Date Assur-
The introduction of the one year
rule has considerably simplified the
problem of scheduling big games
for our football team. Many of
the larger colleges have offeied
dates on their next year's schedule
apparently for this reason alone
Syracuse, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania
and Indiana Universities, Army and
Navy have all expressed a desire to
meet State, while Oregon Agricul
tural College and Washington State
College have applied tor a two
game series in the west.
Negotiations are still under way
with Penn and nothing definite will
be announced until the next issue.
The schedule at present is as fol
lows. September 25, Westminster
at State; October 9, Pennsylvania
pending; October 16, Gettysburg
at State; October 23, open; October
30, Harvard at Cambridge; Novem
ber 5, Lehigh at State, November
13, Lafayette at Easton, November
25, Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh
The schedule shows that the
greatest problem is the filling oi the
earlier dates on the schedule. The
nclusion of Pennsylvania will make
a very fine representative eastern
schedule while the' Lehigh team
will furnish a goGcr-'«nStfiest for the
visitors on Pennsylvania Day. The
signing of a Harvard game was
considerably easier due to the in
troduction of the one year rule to
gether with the clean gentlemanly
game played by our men.
The Coming Religious Campaign
Returning from his recent trip to
a number of eastern colleges, and
having set up evangelistic cam
paigns at Yale, McGill, and the Uni
versity of Toronto, Mr. Buchman is
highly enthusiastic over the cam
paign to be held here next month,
and predicts that it will be one of
the most successful ever held.
Among the many well known
people who are to accompany Dr.
Mott on his visit here are: Mr.
Vance McCormick; Profs. Henry
Wright and J. W. Roe of Yale;
Prof. A. R. Mann, Ag. School of
Cornell; and Mrs. Dwight Potter of
New York City. From Princeton
we shall have the Rev. Mr. Sayre;
Mr. John Colt; Mr. Max Chaplain;
Captain Gluck and at least 10 un
dergraduates.
During the campaign period,
February 2 to 7, student activities
will be dispensed with and every
thing will be given over to religious
work. There will be departmental
meetings in all the schools, and a
life work conference will be held
after Dr. Mott’s meetings. With
the splendid support that this cam
paign is to have, and the opportune
time at which it is to come, it is
hoped that the week will mean
something worth while to the life
of every Penn State man.
Senior Dance,
The second senior dance will be
held in the Armory Saturday, Janu
ary 16. Dancing begins at 8 p. m.

The New Course on Insurance
l'he new course on insurance to
be offered next term under Profess
or Gilbert is open to anyone who has
had economics 14 or 15 The subject
is to be taken up from the business
man’s or user’s point of view and
from the point of view of insurance
as a step in social progress. with
only those technicalities necessary
to a general understanding of the
subject. Foi this reason and be
cause of the well lecognized im
portance of insurance in all walks
of life, the course may appeal to
others than those taking the com
merce and finance work.
As far as possible actual insur
ance policies and other documents
connected practically with the sub
ject will be used. The texts will
be Gephart’s The Principles of In
surance, a well printed book written
in an easy style, and The Market
World and Chronicle, a weekly
magazine devoted to the up-to-date
news of business and insurance.
Pennsylvania Lairymen
The Pennsylvania Dairy union
will hold its annual meeting in Har
risburg in joint session with the
Breeders’ association and the state
board of agriculture. The sessions
of special interes- to dairymen will
be held January 27 and 28 in the
Board of Trade building.
Each number on the program is
of vital interest to the dairy farm
ers, and some of the best speakers
along the various lines have been
secured. One entire evening, Tues
day evening, January 26, has been
set aside for a thorough discussion
of the tuberculosis problem. This
subject is of interest to all dairy
men, and it is expected that this
session will be an unusually live
one.

GLEE CLIIB TRIPS
•Senes of Organ Recitals Planned
Two Long Trips for the Quartet,
Between-Semesters Trip for En-
tire Club. Past Performances
High Recommendation,
As was announced in the Wed
nesday morning mass meeting of
last week, beginning wilh next Sun
day, there will be held in the Audi
torium on every other Sunday after
noon, an organ recital. The affair
is to be entirely informal, the only
restriction made being that persons
shall come in or leave only at the
end of a number. Professor Rob
ison will have charge of next Sun
day’s recital and will be assisted by
the .Male quartet, and Mrs. A. C.
Dalton, soprano, of Philadelphia.
Admission is entirely free and a
large number should attend, The
program will begin promptly at four
o’clock and will last about an hour.
Townspeople as well as students
are invited to come.
The College Male quartet is to
have a trip to the exposition dur
ing the Easter vacation, over the
Santa Fe line. Negotiations are
now pending for concerts in Ober
lin and Chicago. The original plan
was to take the entire club to the
coast, but on account of some recent
Interstate Commerce commission
ruling, the Santa Fe was obliged to
refuse the taking of so large a
party. Immediately after the com
mencement exercises in June, the
quartet will leave on its second
trip to Panama.
Contracts for return trips to Erie,
Jamestown, and the other points
in the trip north of last year have
been made tor the Glee club and
this trip will be taken between
semesters. Negotiations are also
under way for an after Easter trip
to Scranton, Shamokin, Philadel
phia, Ardmor.eYork.
Cadet Regiment May go to Har-
risburg.
It is rumored that there is an ex
cellent chance that the cadet regi
ment may attend the innaugurationof
governor-elect Brumbaugh at Har
risburg on the 19th of this month.
The necessary appropriation to
cover the transportation cost of the
regiment to Harrisburg and return,
it is understood, is now under con
sideration. If this appropriation
does go through and the proper col
lege authorities will grant the neces
sary leave of absences, which will
probably be a day and a half, the
entire regiment will make the trip.
Soccer Trip
The soccer team lost all three
games on its eastern frip. Inaccur
acy in shooting was the principal
cause, for in the Penn game the
intercollegiate champions were
played evenly in the middle of the
field. The scores of the games
were Gitatd College, 3-0, West
town, 2-1, Pennsylvania 2-0.
All subscribers who have not yet
