No. 4 EASTERN ROTARY CLUBS PLAN TRIP TO PENN STATE Pilgrimage Will Be Made By All Clubs In Near Future To Bearn Of Actual Needs MORE IMPROVEMENTS INTENDED FOR COLLEGE The rather I't'iwstHl ami crowded conditions of huth town and college buildings Is coming before the people of the suite in a manner in which it has never heforc broil presented. It stands ns :m undisputed foot Hint the students of Penn State as well as the Board of Trustees and Facility have Itcen tremendously handicapped in the past by lark of funds ami it lias been felt for some time that the best way in which the funds available for the jiro|>er maintenance and expansion of the college could be increased, was to present the aetual needs of the insti tution to the people of the state. At the same lime it has appeared that titis investigation and the presentation of the farts to the people of the stale should come from some public spirited organization of the state. The tirsl of these organizations to take any active steps was the State Chamber of Commerce and the plan of their investigation was published in the COLLKDIAN of a few days ago. Fol lowing almost immediately in their steps with a more extensive plan eaine the Kotary Club of the Slate. Word was received here this week that the attention of the Eastern District of the International Association of Hotary CiuliS had In-on called to the fael that over one thousand students had been refused admission to the Pennsylvania State College this fall and that im mediate steps would be taken to learn just what are the conditions at Penn State . The Chandler of Commerce plan in cluded only a survey of conditions by a committee under the supervision of an cxjiert, the report of which investi gation was to lx> published in a number of the leading newspapers of the state. The plan of action on the part of the Rotary Club is along the sante general line, but it will be more extensive in its scn]H>. v Under the direction of the* governor* of the fifth district of Tho Rotary CJuhs. which includes the east ern half of the state, u pilgrimage from all clubs will move to Penn State at a date In the near future, probably early in October. Kotary clubs in the eastern district have already made Very definite plans for the organiza tion of this trip. Tliis trip is the out come of a series of resolutions adopted by the oflicers of the Kotary Clubs at a conference held sometime ago. Kot arians from tin; western section of the state are also seriously considering the proposition and in all probability will meet the eastern members at Penn State. The spirit of the excursion Is best explained in the words of John F. Rudl sili, of York, who is the governor of the district planning to visit Penn State. He says, “Individual clubs will be presented with facts concerning the needs of Stale College at early meet ing'and committees tire to be appoint ed from each for the purpose of guid ing information and action." . This trip will bring hundreds of Kotariaus to State College and the idea Is *to have them see conditions tlrst hand. They plan to visit classes in session and ob serve just how crowded conditions real ly are anil wilt see just how inade quate are tile facilities at present. This scheme for improving condi tions at Penn State on the part of the Rntarians is merely tho beginning of a campaign which, it is understood will extend over a long period of time, at least until more abundant appropria tion results. More detailed accounts as to dates and accommodations for these Public spirited citizens will appear at a later date. NOTICi: NEW STUDENTS The attention of nil now men is directed to Rule 22.

The Penn State Players’ Organization is well under way in its plans to pre sent, during the coming year, a num ber of plays and other dramatic pro ductions, the lirst of which will lie Ber nard Shaw's “Androcles of the Lion.” The advance cab for candidates who contemplate trying out for this branch of college activities during the coming months was issued early in the week and about seventy-live have so far ex pressed their Intention to strive for parts in the various casts. Several plays of different types arc under con sideration. and It is planned to stage performances which will appeal alike to the faculty ami student body. Aside from these, it is the intention of the Players, under the direction of Mr. Ar thur Cloetingh. to produce, next spring in connection with May Day fete, ori ginal masques nod pageants. The first play to, lie presented will he Shaw’s clever satire, “Androcles and the Lion,” which will he the offering for tile Pennsylvania Day festivities. Tills play was chosen for its many humorous situations, its clever lines, and its telling farcin! features, and will no doubt please the Pennsylvania Day visllovs. The cast, fny “Andvtvek-s and the Lion” lias not yet been chosen Inn many of the former players will again take part, as well sis a number of new members who have shown considerable histrionic ability in the preliminary trials wiik-li have been eondueted. it is announced that tiu- parts of all of the plays of the year will lie decided on a competitive basis.

Then* are llfteen institutions out of about elgluy-live to he given such rank each year; hut the competition is even stronger than this proportion would Indi cate because several of the in stitutions arc military eolleges and they naturally lead.

Barron, formerly of the class of *l9 and pos sessor of four medals won in track elassics on European soil, one of them being for second place in the Olympic tut metre high hurdles Penn State wel comes hack one of its foremost cinder stars. The tall hurdler arrived here last Wednesday, exactly one week af ter Itis arrival in Xew York from the English meets and will at once res ume his studies at this institution. It is understood that Barron will re-enter Penn State as a member of the .tunior elass but in any advent he is hound tt become one of the most spectacular track men that this college has over turned out. Itarrmi at (lie Olympics. Although Harold Barron had always been regarded as one of the satellites in the firmament of American track men. he was not looked upon until the trials held In Boston in July, as one who could compete with the type of hurdlers that would he entered in the Olympic event. However at those trials ho conclusively proved his worth by‘winning first in tile Until try-outs and as a result was a member of the Olympic team that sailed on July twen ty-sixth aboard the Princess Mntoika and arrived in Antwerp twelve days Inter after a voyage notable for ite lack of suitable accommodations and am usement. In the lid meter hurdles, Barron made a line showing but lost the nice to the famous Canadian hurdler, Earl Thompson by a scant two yard margin. An account of the nice which appear ed in a leading sporting paper of Eng land is ns follows: "The Until of the hurdles produced a beautiful spectacle mid.a new record. The winner, Earl Thompson, of Canada owned nothing to luck, for he drew the outside and least desirable station. After one false start, for which the competitors were hardly to blame, be ionable time on their murks, the six cause they were held for an unconsc runuers got away level. But at the second hurdles llarrou and Thompson drew out. and by the third It was evi dent that, barring accidents, one or the other must win. They were running as far away from one another as pos sible for Barron had drawn the inside station. The distinguishing attraction of a hurdle race is that the exact posi tion of the runners can he judged at each bight. In such a nice as this, how ever, few laid eyes for any hut the leaders. There was not a pin to choose between them over the llrst four fences. Barron took off to the fifth the merest trill** in front, hut from the next Thom pson landed with a perceptible lead.

Thompson is tt student at an American university and has had the benefit of the best coaching available, lie is a less graceful vunuer than Barron, but that is entirely due to the fact that lie is more heavllj? built from the waist downwards.

However, were the team to he hut of the same calibre as tile Allentown college has sent here before, an interesting contest may be expected. Tin* past week has seen no exception al! changes in the lincuup of the first string men. Coach Bezdek has done considerable work with his punters* having tried a number of men for that feature of the game. Captain Harold Hess did most of the punting last year, but whether he will lx* taken kick from the line this year each time it is nec essary to punt is doubtful. "Buck’’ Williams has been doing quite a bit of the booting and is rapidly regaining his former prowess at that art. In addi tion Bezdek has Wen trying Redinger, Kiilingcr. and Bightucr at the punts, the latter having showed up very well. "Bess” has also l*een working with the drop and placement kickers, hut it is not known who will he slated for this work.

Tin* easterner’s team this year will be much heavier than heretofore. The addition of several eastern prep school stars will round out a fast, weighty eleven when combined with nine vet ••rains of last year’s team.
