FOOTBALL MEN DEVELOP
Coaching Staff Pleased With-
Showing of Freshmen. H. 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.
With the hope of opening cor
dial relations between Bucknell
and State College, a joint concert
will lie given by the glee clubs of
tile two colleges on the evening of
May 6 at Bucknell. The mem
bers of the State glee will be en
tertained at the various fraternity
houses and a large dance will lie
given in the Armory. It is hoped
that the project will lie successful
enough to make it an annual occa
sion alternating at the two
schools.
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.
According to the prooosed plan
of limiting the student activities
at lowa State, each man will be
permitted to carry 50 points, as a
maximum. The editor-in-chief of
the lowa State Student carries 35
points for tftis one office, the
highest number of points given
for any one student activity. The
class presidency is given 10
points.
A oiie per cent club has been
organized at Michigan university,
the members of which have pled
ges that they will leave one per
cent of their property to the uni
versity ip their wills.
Harvard’s new librarj' has six
miles of book shelves.
Only a Rumor.
None of the trout streams in
this vicinity have been closed to
anglers. 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.
