Clark Doing Good Placement Kick ing. “Shorty” Miller With Seniors assist. With spring footfall practice in full swing the prospects for a win ning team nc.'/t fall are very bright. A large number of men are reporting for daily outdoor practice and many of last years squad are rapidly developing into; varsity material. This fact is im portant because, since the one year rule goes into effect in Sep tember, only the men of the pres ent three lower classes will be eligible. For every position there are many promising candidates and several freshmen are showing up especially well At end, Swain and Cabbage are giving thecoach es much satisfaction while Zarney is making a strong bid for a place at tackle. Balbach, Gill, and Kraft arc doing good work at guard and in the backfield Dippe. R. Clark, Edgerton, and Yeager loom up as big factors. It is entirely prob able that if these men continue to improve as they have, a couple of tile veterans may even be dis placed. The coaching staff has found in Harold Clark a man who will, in all probability, fill Lamb’s place m kicking goals from placement. Clark is rapidly improving in this department of the game. Barron and Welty, although iting tiie college during the past week lias also assisted in coaching the men and his work has been amircciatcd. GLEE CLUB AT BUCKNELL Combined Glee Clubs to Give Concert at Bucknell.

In the College World Fifty men do 98 per cent of the wmk of the student organizations at the University of Pittsburgh. Tile other two per cent is in the hands of the remainder of the student body. The first conference of tin. American college will lie held at Allegheny college during June. It is hoped that this conference may. be instrumental in establishing a more nearly standard course of study for the leading American colleges. College presidents ami leading educators in the United States will be in attendance. The student senate of Ursinus has decreed that all freshmen must wear a small red skull cap, with a green button one inch in diameter. Allegheny college has insured the weather for centennial week. If it rams at that time, the insur ance company will pay $5OOO to the college.

There is, however, a bill before the house providing for the closing of streams at the option of the several wardens. If this pass es, the l.cniont stream may be closed. THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN JUNIOR ORATORS WORKING EARNESTLY A Good Contest Is Assured- New Method of Selecting Con testants Seems To Be Highly Successful A class of eight men has been under training by Professor Marsliman for the Junior Oratori cal Contest which is to be held during Commencement week. The class is composed of Geary, Burns Teas, Üban, Oehrle, Raynor. Mor row, and Skillman. Of this num ber, six will be chosen to appear in the final contest. The elimina tion process will be a difficult problem, as all the men are of the first rank, and every one is work ing hard to maintain a place in the Commencement competition. The class work which began with the second semester, has con sisted of a studv of orators and orations. In the oration study the various kinds of orations, their construction and rhetoric are some of the points emphasized. At the present time the men are beginning to do individual read ing in preparation for the writing of the oration. Of the eight men, all but one have chosen the sub ject upon which they will speak. This will be the first year for the new method of selecting the junior orators. According to the present plan, all men who desire may enter the training class. Those who appear finally are the six who show the greatest orator ical ability. Formerly, when the men were chosen entirely upon scholarship basis in English their ability as orators was very often ignored. It is hoped that the new scheme will eliminate this undesirable feature, and that in the future, a representative body of orators will contest for the spoils of the victor.
