The average student has enough facts to remember, without being bib-cloned with any concerning hygiene, so facts will ho eliminated as ' far as possible and you will he told of certain habits which, If formed and ottrried out, will become a part of your daily routine us much as sleeping and eating are. and anyone who adopts them will be better equipped mentally and physically for his daily work =ED By Dr. 7.

The first question must be, "What's the reason?" The probable answer is, too little attention has been given to the subject of health and hy giene. Many of the conditions for which men were rejected were the re sult of faulty habits, poor living condi tions, Inattention to the ordinary rules of health, and indifference. which Is nothing more than poor hygiene.

"There should be a keen sense of enjoy ment of all life's activities. -As William James once said, 'simply tq live, breathe I and move should be a delight' The thoroughly healthy person in full of op *he rejoiceth like a strong man to run a race.' We seldom see such overflowing vitality except among-chil dren. When middle Me Is reached, or before, our vital surplus has been squandered. Yet it Is in this vital our plus should not only be safeguarded, but acculumated. It is the balance In the savings bank of life Our health Ideals must not stop at the avoidance of inva lidism, but should aim at exuberant and exultant health. They savor not of valetudinarianism, but of athletic devel opment Our aim should be to see how much strain our strength can stand, but how great we can make that , xtt ength. With such an aim we shall, Incidentally and_naturally, flud our solve accomplishing more work than we aimed directly at the work Itself. More over, when such Ideals are attained. work Instead of turning Into drudgery tends to earn Into play, and the hue of Ilfo seems to turn from dull gray to the bright tints of well-remembered child hood. In short, our health Idelds should rise from tile mere wish to keep out of a sick-bed to an cageiness to become a well-spring of energy. Only then shall wo realize the Intrinsic whole someness and beauty of human life" Students when they leave State Col lege should be equipped mentally and physically to accomplish the object of their coming.

Un questionably, there were few who noted the actual kicking of the ball, for their eyes were meetly on its true and accu rate night between the uprights Itut If one had been watching the position of the ball In relation to the foot of the kicker nt the time of Impact, it is mobable that much surprise would have been felt Wolfe did not kick the pig -skin with the toe of him boot, but instead, he caught it high up on the In-step The result was a "drop punt . ' If such a kick may be catalogued by that combination The "Instep drop-kick" Is but little known in the knot, and Is almost en tirely a Western asset. To the un-Initl ated spectator, there Is apparently but one style of kick which in covmed by the word "drop." Football coaches and players, however, recognize two kinds, the "toe drop-kick" and the "Instep drop" Penn State has felt the peed of a good field goal kicker ever since the graduation of Levi Lamb, who was the last of dependable kickers. Muck at tention has been given in an attempt to develop a consistent kicker, but each senson has shown the same result—ln consistency. With the advent of Field Conch Scott this year, efforts were I esumed In this connection, with Wolfe and several othe - is as the candidates With the or dinary style of kick, however, Wolfe moved a dismal failure, but when Conch Scott began teaching him the Western style or Instep kick. he took to it naturally, and the result was shown In the first game of the season, when out of three attempts. he scored once, missed by inches another time, and fell short pn the third The instep drop Is very much like a punt. Instead of meeting the ball with the toe at the lime when the former touches the ground, the ball is allowed to bounce and Is caught high up on the instep Many of the great Western kickers have used this style of kick with great success, end if Wolfe can continue to improve, he will be a dan gerous man for Penn State's opponents In the future- For the Best and Cheapest Shoe Repairing Come to J.
