Couching System Entirely Changed
Whitney, of Dartmouth, Appoint
ed Advisory Coach—Freshman
Position Undecided - System Ex-
pected to be Best Evolved.
The Alumni Advisory committee
on athletics, after an extended in
vestigation of local conoitions and
of methods in force in other institu
tions, has just announced the sys
tem of football coaching which is
to become effective next Septem
ber when the recently adopted one
year residence rule will become
operative. The new system differs
considerably from the old in scope
and form. The elimination ot first
year men fiom intercollegiate com
petition pieserits a new problem in
the development of athletic mater
ial which is to be met by a com
prehensive c mrse of training for
freshmen and second string men
not only during the fall season but
also throughout the winter and
spring. In its form of organization
the new system provides for re
sponsible supervision and direction
not only for the playing season but
for the entire college year, it
affords the benefits of having Penn
State graduates on the coaching
staff without suffering the evils of
the so-called “graduate system";
and by having as one member of
the staff a graduate ol broad foot
ball experience trom another col
lege it operates to bring to the Penn
State style of play thebest ideas of
other football systems: "
The formal coaching staff will
consist of a head coach, who will
be in charge of football activity
throughout the year, an advisory
coach, who will assist with the \ar
sity squad, and a freshman coach.
One of the assistant coaches will
probably be retained throughout
the college year and in addition to
football work will take charge of
basket ball or one ol the other
minor sports. It is also planned to
occasionallv call in for periods of a
week or two prominent football
authorities of the east to consult
with the coaching staff. P'ormer
Penn State players will also return
for short periods at the invitation
of the head coach.
“Dick” Harlow, Penn State, T 3,
has been chosen to fill the position
of head coach, his appointment be
coming effective at once to run
through the year 1915-16. Har
low’s fame as a tackle on the 1910
and 1911 teams makes his name
familiar to all followers of Penn
State athletics. His subsequent
work as assistant coach of the 19111,
1913 and 1914 teams and his effect
ive efforts in the spring develop
ment work of the past two years
give promise of greater succes in
this position of enlarged responsi
bilities.
For the position of advisory
coach the Alumni committee has
chosen Lawrence W. Whitney,
Dartmouth, T 5. “Bud” Whitney
began a remarkable athletic career
at Worcester (Mass.) academy
where he competed on the football,
baseball and track teams. At
Dartmouth he has been on the var
sity football, basketball and track
teams. Last fall Whitney was cap
tain of football and during the com
ing season will captain Dartmouth's
track team. In 1912 he was on
the American Olympic team to
Stockholm where he took third I COLLEGE PHYSICIAN'

“Bill" HoL back, coach of Penn
State's 1909.\.911, 1912, 1913 and
1914 teams, has entered into a very
attractive three year contract as the
representative of a prominent coal
concern in the city of Philadelphia
and the demands of business may
force his complete withdrawal from
athletics, although he may find it
possible to retain an active connec
tion with one ol the institutions in
Philadelphia.

BASKET BALL TRIP SUCCESSFUL
Varsity Defeats Westiughouse, and
W. and J., Last Year’s Cham
pions; Loses to Pittsburgh.
The varsity basket ball trip to
Pittsbuigh and Washington was a
"decided success. On Thursday
evening the strong Westinghouse
Athletic Club team was met and
defea'ed upon their home door by
a S 5-24 score. The Amateur Ath
letic union tor a time threatened to
stop the game but these objections
were eliminated when the State five
were signed up in the Amateur
Athletic union. Next day the team
jnetanddefeated, W. and r .l Jr at
Washington. The superior team
work of State was responsible for
the victory. State led at the end
of the first half by a 10 to 7 score.
In the second half three straight
baskets enabled W. and J to crawl
up upon, but not overcome State’s
margin. The team was shown
every courtesy both at the West
inghouse Athletic club and at
W. and J. Both games were fast
but clean, good officials weie pro
vided, and the home teams well
satisfied.
The last game of the trip was
played with Pitt Saturday night.
The game was fast and hard
fought, but the team wotk so in
evidence the two preceding nights
was strangely lacking and at the
finish Pitt lead by one basket arid a
foul goal, score 35-32.
Harrisburg High 30, Freshtes 26
For the second time in two years
Harrisburg High won fiom State
Freshies in basket ball when they
defeated the freshman five in the
Armory last Saturday, score 30-26.
The prep school lads started off
with a rush and almost before the
freshmen realized it, had piled up
19 points. Then with a changed
lineup the freshmen braced and
played around their opponents.
The first half ended 19-10 with the
visitors on the long end. In the
second half the freshmen got 16
points against the visitors 11.
Band Concerts.
Due to the lack of an open date
and to the fact that examinations
are near at hand, the band has been
unable to give concerts as often as
desired. It is thought that during
the second semester, the band will
give concerts much more frequently
than beloie.
Columbia University is thinking
of taking up football again next
year.

WRESTLES HERE
Visitors Undefeated in Three Years,
Chinaman a Lightweight Cham-
pion. Date of Ticket Sale to be
Announced
On Monday eveniig, htbiusry 1,
Captain Lamb’s seven opens the
wrestling schedule with Captains
, Crowell’s team from Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. The
records of the New Englanders is
liee from any defeat during the last
three years. In this time, Harvard
Yale, Brown, Tufts, Spiingfield and
various Y M. C. A’s were con
quered, and of the entire 20 meets,
all have been their victories.
Five veterans of last year’s
champion team form the main-stay
of the team this year, and they
vome to Penn State hoping to main
tain their clean sheet.
The interest taken in wiestling is
evidenced by the fact that early in
the fall, over 100 freshmen reported
for the teams. It is their only self
supporting athletic activity, and has
been the most popular with the
student body. Of last year’s veter
ans, Ping Yok Loo 16, the light
weight Chinaman was the only man
on the team to win the straight
varsity letter, and incidentally is the
second Chinaman to have made his
straight letter in any university in
t v r..]*u "S'.r,, ** * Lraib v oppon
ent will be Captain Crowell.
The line up will probably be*
Loo, 115 pounds; Rounds, 123
pounds, Giles, 135 pounds; Goodell,
145 pounds, Wood, 158 pounds;
Bond, 175 pounds; Captain Crowell,
heavyweight.
Penn Snte's line-up has not been
made as yet due to the fact that the
semi-final and final trials have not
been completed. The seating ar
rangement will be posted and an
nouncement of ticket sale will be
made in due time. Reservations in
the visitors sections will be made
so long as they last if notice is re
ceived previously.
Report of Grades
A report of all failures will be
sent to students by mail as soon as
the grades in a given subj'ect have
been received by the registrar. It
will not be necessary, therefore, for
any one to call at the registrar’s
office in order to learn what grades
he has received.
An oral report of grades! except
in the case of seniors ) can no long
er be given out at the office, be
cause, from now on, all the time of
the office force will have to be de
voted to the work of recording
grades and making out the written
reports.
As soon as the grade, reports
have been prepared, an announce
ment will be made, and all students
except freshmen will then be able
to obtain their grade reports by
calling at the office of their
respective deans. All freshman
grade reports will be given out by
the registrar’s office.
Free Entertainment
An effort is being made to have
an entertainment in the Auditorium
