GETTYSBURG LOSES
LISTLESS GAME
Slow Content Results in Fourth Vic-
tory of Season—Excellent Work
'ot Team Deserves Greater Stu-
dent Attendance
Penn State easily defeated Get
tysburg last Saturday night in the
Armory by the score of 34-26.
Gettysburg scored first when Ma
haffee shot a foul goal. Another
foul goal with a field goal, while
State was scoring a tool goal gave
the visitors a three point lead. This
advantage lasted but a short lime
for the entire State team scored
from the tield and the half ended
18 to 14 in State's favor. Duiing
this half Blakslee shot but two
fouls in ten while Mahaffe scored
six in ten tues
Park’s team started the second
half in whirlwind style and at the
end of 10 minutes were leading 28-
17. At this point Gettysburg brac
ed and scored nine points to State’s
one, making the tally 20-26. Wag
ner leplaced lllakslte and shot a
field goal shortly aftei.
For the visitois Captain Mahaf
fee at foiward and Campbell at
center played the best games.
Campbell was particulaily good on
long shots. Paik played the best
forward game foi State, both on
the floor and in foul goal shooting.
The guards both played line games.

Student Volunteer Fire Department
There have been so many ex
amples of inefficiency and con
fusion at the recent fires
that the Student Volunteer Fire
depaitment is an institution as wel
come as it is much needed. It was
largely due to the efforts of the
company now formed that the fire
in the Engineering building a
couple weeks ago did not result
more seriously.
The department now enrolls
some 35 members. Thirty men
make up a company which is divid
ed into three squads of 10 men
each, at the head of which is a
is a captain. Yergei is captain on
the Hill, Dnector Lewis at the
Armory and the group ot buildings
there, and A. S. Smith at the Engi
neering building. Chief Brennecke
has had a great deal of experience
in the work and soon hopes to get
the men in good working trim.
The greatest immediate ambition
of the fire department is to get a
chemical engine. The water used
in extinguishing the fires that have
been fought has as a general rule
done as much damage as the fire
itself, and a chemical engine would
save a great deal that is lost. So
lar, the men have been able to raise
about $64 thiough subscriptions
and the college has agreed to pay
an equal sum. The stag held last
Fiiday netted something like $l6,
so the fund is well under way.
Regular weekly meetings are
held at which matters pertaining to
the development ol efficiency are
taken up. There are drills in the
manipulation ot hose and e x _

tinguishers, and general instructions
regarding emergencies. The 30
members of the company are pro
vided with badges and only these
men will be excused from classes
in case of a fire. When a badge
man leaves town or is sick or other
wise unable to go on duty, his
badge is given to a substitute until
such time as he is able to get back.
The matter of whether or not the
student company- shull-ESsist m ease
of a fire in the town is to be taken
up with the borough council at its
next meeting.
The department as it stands at
present is made up largely of upper
classmen. Under classmen are
urged to come out to the meetings
of the organization so that thfey
may be ready to take the place of
those members who are lost by
graduation. The whole movement
has the general good of the college
as its purpose and should have both
the financial and moral support 0 £
the entire student body.
W. and J. Here Monday,
The basketball manager promises
a great treat here on Monday next,
February eighth when Captain
Park’s warriors clash with the
strong team representing the- Red
and Black.
W. and J. won the championship
of the western section of the league
last year and claimed the cham
pionship ot the state. In both the
games with W. and J. last year the
Penn State team was defeated, but
only by close scores. Things have
started well and in the first game
played at Washington January 15,
the Blue and White came out on
top with 28 to 24 score.
The game will be started at 7:00
p. m., and the general admission
will be 25 cents as usual. No seats
will be reserved.
President Sparks to Lecture,
Dr. Sparks will lecture at Lock
Haven, February 6, on Abraham
Lincoln. He will deliver the same
address at Lincoln University
February 12 and later at Troy,
New York.
During the month he will also
address the students of the John B.
Stetson University at De Land,
Florida on the subject of "Simple
Virtues".
PRICE FIVE CENTS
DEBATING PROSPECTS
Activity Well Under Way. Two
Teams Chosen. Determined Ef-
forts Being Made to Win All Five
Debates,
Professor Marshman has express
ed himself as being well pleased
with the showing made by the de
bating squad thus far. Twenty-
four men comprise the present
squad and they include men of two
and three years debating ex
perience. All of last years’ squad
of successful debaters are taking
active part in the work with the ex
ception of R. E. Geary T 6 and
S. P. Jones 'IS; both of whom are
occupied with other activities.
The coaching system has proved to
be an excellent one and the men
are tearing the library apart to dis
cover new material and new inter
pretations of the Monroe Doctrine.
Two tentative teams have been
chosen up to the present time. In
the debates,Penn States’ home team
will be composed of H. V. Crans
ton T 5, J. K. Miller T 5, and W. R.
Diem ’IS. The affirmative team to
debate away from home in the
league debates has not as yet been
chosen and there is keen com
petition for every place. Against
the University of Pittsburgh, the
following merr-v.-cH~lrs-*SS6t,, W.-Jfcr
Skillman 'l6, F. F. Lininger 'l7 and
B. F. Swartz ’l6. Two teams are
also to be selected to debate
against Westminster and W. and J.
Debating prospects have received
a considerable impetus by the
creation of a permanent depart
ment of Public Speaking and every
one in the college is looking for
ward to more successful teams this
year than we have ever had in the
past.
Urapplers Meet the Navy
Captain Lamb’s grapplers jour
ney to Annapolis on Friday where
they encounter the midshipmen on
the following day. It will be remem
bered that Penn State administered
the only defeat the Navy had last
year, and a hard battle can be ex
pected. Five veterans remain on
the Navy squad of last year and of
this number, Broadfoot, in the 158
pound class, remains undefeated.
The personnel of State’s team
has not been decided upon but the
final selection should be one that
will repeat th • record of last year.
Junior Oratorical Contest.
The men who will compose the
squad for the junior oratorical con
test are as follows: R. E. Geary,
W. R. Skillman, V. G. Burns, D. L.
Dolbin, J. F. Sprenkel, J. L. Üban,
W. A. Good, L. P. Teas. From
this number six will be selected as
