Students ArmY Training Corps to
Be Succeeded by R. 0. T. C. for
Balance of Year
On December 20. 1918. the Collegiate
SealOn of the Student Army Train
ing Corps of the Pennsylvania State
College was officially demobilized and
at that time all members of that or
ganization were discharged from the
u n ited States Army, after two months
of intensive training. The Vocational
Section was demobilized on December
E, but on account of the necessary
clerical work and the fact that equip
ment for the entire Corps had not yet
arr ived, the Collegiate Section was not
Mustered out until more than a week
later.
On September 11, 1918. the Secretary
of war issued a proclamation that at
alnstitutions which had a male at
tendance of more than one hundred.
ups of the Student Army Training
Corps-would be established and com
missioned officers in the United States
Army would be placed in command. In
return for this service to the govern
ment, each member was to receive
clothing. subsistence, and thirty dollars
per month. In accordance with this
proclamation, there was established at
Fenn State on October 1. 1918, a unit
of the S. A. T. C. and ut that time more
than thirty commissioned officers were
assigned to State College. 'More than
thirteen hundred students signified their
desire to Join, and after passing the
physical examination, eleven hundred of
that number were sworn into the United
States Army, the remaining two hun
dred being sworn into the Navy.
FrOm this time on all members of
the unit were under military disci
pline and regulation at all tunes. Every
one was required to be present at
reveille at 7 a. m., retreat at 4:30 p. m.,
while 'lights' out" and "taps" were
sounded at 11 o'clock, Every member
was required to drill eleven hours a week
withthe exception of the Sophomore,
Junior, and Senior Engineers who were
required to drill only six hours per
week. Inspection was held every Sat
today morning and at that time each
man and his egnipment were subject - to
Strict military+ inspection. For failure
to pass this inspection, punishment in
the form of double police duty or pun-
Mhment tours was usually the result.
In accordance with the plan of the
government to make officers out of the
Student soldiers, two calls were made
tor candidates for commissions to be
sent to officers' training camps. On
+October 15,,a mill for sixty men_ vats
made and out of a response more than
doubled the required quota. that number
was selected and sent to Camp Gordon,
Georgia, where they were In training as
mandates for commissions in the in
heti+ when the armistice was signed.
On November 12. ten men were sent to
Fortress Monroe. Virginia, where they
were • candidates for commission in
heavy artillery. More than forty can
didates for the field artillery at Camp
Zachary Taylor were awaiting their call
to that place when hostilities ceased.
Most of the men who were at officers'
training camps were immediately' dis
charged or were transferred to State
College where they were discharged
with the other members of the S. A. T. C.
Thorough Training
The training given to members of the
Cava_ here was very thorough and
splendid results were noticed even after
the first few weeks of training. Under
the leadership of competent officers, the
men received vigorous training in the
schools of the soldier, squad, and com
pany and special instruction in bayonet
work and hand grenade throwing. A
modem and up-to-date bayonet course
with the necessary system of trenches.
dummies, and take-offs was constructed
on the Holmes field and every afternoon
and evening one or more of the com-
panics recoiled practical training in this
litiffOrilPS:phaze of warfare. Under the
1 ship of Lieutenant Walters the
soon beams used to handling the
bayonets, "going over the top" and
sticking the dummies on the other side.
The training in hand grenade throw-
Mg was under the leadership of Lieu
tenant Robertson. A certain number of
men were picked picked from each
company and these men soon became
competent in throwing grenades Into
a unseen trench at almost any dis
tance. This part of the - training was
interrupted perhaps more than any
other by the signing of the armistice.
The review of the entire regiment on
PannsylvaniaridY was one of the most
impresslves sights seen at Penn State
in many years and showed, as no other
occasion could, just the training that
the members of tile corps had received.
The showing made by them at that time
was of the highest degree and caused
favorable comment from all who wit
nessed it. An exhibition of bayonet
work was given on the bayonet course
and the section in hand grenade throw
ing showed Its skill to the large crowd
of visitors and friends which was pres
ent at that time.
Vocational Training
The Vocational Section, officially
known as Section 8,. was given all en
tirely different line of training than that
has just been outlined. This
nsion of the S. A. T. C. was made up

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR BASKETBALL
Mullan and Wolfe of Last Year's
Team Form Nucleus For Strong
Five
The outlook is very bright for a good
basketball team to represent Penn State
this year and the resumption of college
iictivities finds Coach llezdek's squad
working every evening on the armory
door. With the return to the college of
Wolfe, who held down one'of the guard
positions on last year's team, the horizon
is considerably brightened. Wilson, who
wan elected last year to captain the
team which will represent Penn State
this winter, may return to college at
the beginning of the second semester.
Coach Ltezdek is finding good material
In the squad which turned out in re-'
sponse to tile call issued before the vaca
lion. Mullen, star forward in last year's
teals, will undoubtedly be seen in action
covering his old position. Friedman, of
last year's freshman team. and Heitz,
a freshman, are also showing up well
and the other forwaill position will
probably be held down by one of these
two men. Wolfe, and Farley, of last
year's freshman team, are showing up
the best for the center Job, and some
lively competition Is being staged be
tween these two men. Both tire rangy
and cover a lot of ground and either
one would be a safe bet' to hold down
this Position successfully. A wealth
of good material is being uncovered
for the guard positions and tills part
of the team should lie as speedy as the
rest. Killinger and liorb, of last year's
freshman squad, are showing some
clever work in this department and
NleAllllan, a freshman. is also showing
up to gond advantage.

An innovation is being planned by
Coach L'ezdek In the form of an in
terfraternity basketball league. His plan
is to have a team represent each frater
nity and orgiiiiized house and to Mire a
regular schedule of games. Ile is mak
ing an effort to have a cup as a reward
for the winning team and this should
prove an Incentive to the various frater

Tile committee on arranging it sched
ule for the Intorintternity basketball
league held a meeting last night and at
that time it was thought that at least
thirty teams could be gotten together
in the league. representing every na
tional and local fraternity and all clubs
in college. The plans call for each team
to play at least—fourteen games and to
have the teams_so arranged that six
games may be played on every week
night and at least eighteen games oil
Saturday afternoon. The schedule as
outlined by the committee will enthrone
something over four hundred games
and will continue over a period of two
months. The games will lie played on
the two armory courts and as every stu
dent organization in college will be rep
resented, there is no doubt that great

"Dick" Harlow Here
To Assist Bezdek
Lieutenant R. C. (Dick) Harlow, for
mer coach of the Penn State football
team and w•ho has Just received -ids—
honorable discharge from the United
States army, has been engaged as as
sistant director of physical education
to assist Hugo Dudek. During the past
fall, Harlow has been stationed at the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, where he
coached the football team and went
through the season without a defeat.
Harlow will take direct charge of the
boxing and will assist with the other
intra-mural sports that are being devel
oped under the direction of Coach Dez
dek. He will also help to coach the
'varsity eleven next fall and will take
particular charge of the line-men: while
it is also planned to hold extensive spring
practice, when Ilarlow will be in full
charge. There is also a possibility that
he may coach the 'varsity baseball
team. '
_ While in college, llarlow played tackle
on the claunpionship 1911 and' 1912
teams which were coached by "Bill"
Holienbach: After his graduation, lie
was engaged to assist in the coaching
and last year lie signed a contract as
heath coach. However. he resigned in
order to enter the army last summer,
and he received his commission shortly
afterward.
At the Virginia institute where lie has
been stationed all fall, Harlow acted as
bead coach of the football team and- his
record of no defeats proves that he
made good. "Dick" admitted that he
was given good material at the start of
the season, much better than that which
Penn State had a year ago; neverthe
less, victories over such teams as Wash
ington and Lee and V. H. 1. Prove that
Harlow had a well coached eleven.
Harlow also was in charge of boxing
at the southern school and this sport,
became vastly popular• with the au
dents. It is hoped to make boxing a
• more prominent sport at Penn State and
• numerous Inter-class and round-robin
i tournaments are planned. It is also

RED CROSS DRIVE
GOES "OVER TOP"
Campaign Held Shortly Before
Christmas Results in 3,925 Mem
bers for Local Chapter -
The annual membership campaign of
the American Red Cross. held shortly
before the Christmas vacation, proved
that I State, as in all other activ
ities. was worthy of being selected as
the starting place of the campaign. Be
cause tile dismissal of college for the
Christmas recess would have broken
bits the week set for the national cam
paign. Penn State was permitted to
have her roll call one week earlier than
elsewhere, and so set a precedent for the
entire country. The campaign here
lasted from Sunday, December Bth to
Sunday, December 15til, but so well
was the work planned. organized and
carried out, that the major part of the
canvass had been completed before the
evening of the opening day.
the evening of the °lusting day.
The Wan of the committee in charge
this year was to enroll everyone, re
g:u•dless Of race, color or nationality.
In fact, the word was NOM out from
ilivisitmal headquarters to "enroll every
Pool American," and, according to the
results, every student at Penn State, ns
well as each resident of the town Is
privileged to he Included in the class of
•loyal Americans."
The campaign here, conducted under
the supervision of the State College
chapter. has produced the following
results: 2.100 students, male and female,
of the college have enrolled: in the vil
lage list. which also includes the faculty,
there are 1,024 annual memberships,
twenty-six magazine and four eontrib
tiling: the borough schools have fur
nished 701 Junior members. so that this
district has to its credit a grand total
of 3,925 memberships for 1919, The
roll is nut yet completed, as a few
have been slow In Joining, and the (Mal
reams will likely be increased. In fact,
Professor W. D. Crockett, the chairman
of the local eampaign, estimates that
the total enrollment will exceed 4,000.
A Unique Plan
The plan used• to enroll the students
was unique. as well as economical In
time. Last year, tables were placed in
the varises college buildings and each
student was given the opportunity for
voluntary enrollment. This method,
however, did not bring the expected re
sults, and sti this year a new plan was
instituted which provided for the in
dividual canvassing of every student.
At the suggestion of Captain Surge a
meeting of all barracks sergeants was
r:.avious to the day 441, for the
opening of tile campaign, and final ar
rangements were made at this time.
Then at one-thirty p. m. on December
Bth, the opening day, these sergeants
assembled in the Armory, ready for
work. Hach was given a roll and sent
back to his barracks with instructions
to enlist every man in Ills house. This
was so quickly and effectually done
that before three quarters of an hour
had elapsed, over 1,700 students had
been enrolled. An attempt was made
at first to keep a record of the en
rollment of the companies, but the re
turns came in so quickly that it was
found impossible to accomplish this.
Every one who joined signed iliS name
and it is the Won of the college to
have the names of all those who signed
bound, and a permanent record kept.
Few Objections
Very few objected to joining; there
was, however, a small number, both
among the male and female students,
who refused, but when these cases were
investigated, the opinions of the oh-
peters changed. and they too were
enrolled with the rest. So the State
College chapter fully lived up to and
actually exceeded the standard which
the committee set for It. The col
lege and borough had Indeed become
100 per cent Red Cross, and at the
close of the opening day. Prof. Crockett
telegraphed to the divisional head-
quarter at New York that
College has gone Red Cross."
Penn State has been peculiarly tort.

has nobly responded. lost year the
college was selected to set a pace in
the V. M. C. A. war campaign, and
the result was a contribution of $lO,-
000. This fall, Penn State was asked
to start off the United War Work
Campaign. which she did by subscrib
ing over $22,000. So it did not seem
out of the ordinary that Penn State
' should be selected as the starting
place of the Red Cross membership
drive. and results have shown that
e choice has not been unjustifiable
The enrollment of the entire eel
ege, as well as the borough, was of

certainly must lie some that have, the
blame sure/3' cannot be placed at the
door of Penn State for not setting 0
proper precedent.

The Intercolleglates
At the 'present time, there is much

war, CoWhittle and Princeton each have
no team, 'and according to present in
dications, do not expect to form one
until next year. Moreover, all the offi
cers of the Intercollegiate Wrestling As-
Soclation are In the service and there
to no tollirig. when tii2 s P - b 0- obi° to re=
turn to their duties. As a result, it Is
the coneensus of opinion that tile in
tercollegitites should be omitted this
year. and held at Penn State in 1920.
This Is not by any means definitely de
cided yet) but should such prove to be
the case, ,t.ite college athletic authorities
will attempt to peke arrangements to
hind an informal Intercoliege match on
the original dates, Lehigh, Penn State,
Penn and probably Cornell, being the
contestants.
The Fi•eshman-Sophomore wrestling

TO OUR ALUMNI
Dc-
Because of the taking over of this college by the War
partment and the ensuing stateof military government at the
beginning of this college year, it had been decided by the COL
LEGIAN R
BObIAD tat there would be no PENN STATE COL
LEGIAN. puished h this year. Now, however, since the fight
for democracy has so victoriously closed, since the S. A. T. C.
is a thing of the past. and since college conditions are again
assuming normal aspects, we announce with pleasure that the
PEN STATE COLLEGIAN is again revived. This year more

FOOTBALL TEAM
PROVES SURPRISE
Coach Bezdek Develops Fighting
Eleven from Inexperienced Ma
terial—Score on Pitt
Despite handicaps and conditions that
would have forced nearly any other col
lege to cancel its football schedule and
give up the sport for the year, Penn
State weathered the war-time restric
tions as imposed by the Students Army
Training Corps and completed a football
season that is deemed highly success
ful by every undergraduate and alum
nus of the Mies°.
With every 'varsity man in the ser
vice of the United States either at
training camps or in France, and with
many of last year's Freshman eleven
also in the ranks of Uncle Sam, it took
considerable courage to play out a
schedule against such teams as Rutgers,
Lehigh and Pitt, all of whom had many
'varsity melt back.
However, Penn State was fortunate
in securing a man for head coach who Is
a tighter from start to finish, and who
is never discouraged by handicaps. In
fact he is used to them. Hugo Bezdek,
former coach of the Oregon Aggtes and
present manager of the Pittsburgh Na
tional League Baseball Club, who took
Dick Harlow's place when the latter
went into the army, has made a decided
hit with every Penn State man, for he
personifies the typical Perin Elnte nb'rit:

Injuries and officers' training camps
persisted in their attempt to wreck the
team, even after the coaches had mould_

Brown, a guard, Bentz. center and Snell,
a halfback during October and injuries

Unger, and G. W. Brown, gave Bezdek
still more to worry about. However.
with the assistance 'of Coach 'lsmer,
and with all of the boyi doing their best,
the team developed rapidly.

Thus ended the stormy 1918 season.
It Is Witte early to speak of prospects
for next year. but Coach Bezdek will
have all but one member of this lust

for the 13155 and White but the rest
are expected to return. ltut best of all
Is the news that no less then 1G former
