Six evft straight victories and not a defeat u the retold now set up by the Xit tany l>alsiueii, a mark unsurpassed by any college nine in the oast, and all indications point to an undefeated Sea son,for the Ulue and While. Uniy nine games remain to he played yet and only two of these will lake place on foreign soil, J*iu and Putin being met on their respective fields next week. Ail of the contests on the eastern jaunt with the possible exception of the Yule game, were exceedingly hard fought throughout and wefe not decided until the Very last minute of play. Three of them were won by only one run mar gins. On Wednesday the Tiger nine at Princeton was nosed out in the tenth inning by U to 3. New l’ork University fell on the following day 4 to 3, Yale was snowed under on Friday the thir teenth 111' to 3, succumbed In the finul game of the trip by the count Of 5 to 4. The Lion Overpowers the Tiger The Princeton game was a real thriller and lasted for ten exciting inn ings, four successive singles by Meurk le, Killinger, Haines, and Lighlnor bringing in three runs and sewing up the contest fur the Xiuaaiy nine after the Orange and Black team had taken a 5 to 3 lead in its half of the inning. For nine innings the two opponents ran neck and neck, each scoring three tallies, but at the beginning of the tenth frame, .Mellinger weakened con siderably and Tiger men filled the bas es. Brumbaugh let two pitches get through him, enabling two runners to score, und then "Buz" rushed in Thomas in an effort to save the day. The latter struck out tlie first man up, hit the next one, fanned the third hatter, und then purposely walked McNamara, a heavy hitler. Gilroy however, pinch bitting for Keyes, ended the scoring by fanning. tContinucd on last page) JUNIOR ORATORICALS PRESENTED NEXT WEEK Continuance of Oldest College Institution Certain With Addi tion of More Juniors in Contest With the end of the college year ap proaching, the outlook of the Junior Oratorieals appears much brighter and its successful presentation next week in Old Chapel is guaranteed. The fact that several more Juniors have decid ed to enter the contest during the past week insures the suecess/of the orator- Icals, which it was thought for a while would Iks discarded because of a lack of a'sufficicnt number of contestants. Under the coaching of Miss Jackson of the English Department, the Juniors are being rapidly prepared fur thu con test which will consist of original speeches, ten to twelve minutes in length. Owing to the numerous other affairs of interest being staged during commencement week, the English De partment has decided to change the date of the Junior Oratorieals this year to Friday. May twenty-seventh, at a lime when ail will lie able to attend the contest. The June Oratorieals, as has been previously stated, is one of the oldest Institutions in the college, being first presented in June of 1872. This annual affair Ims been retained since and bus been presented successfully during the past years. The winning of the Junior Oratorieals is in Itself a great honor, of which the successful contestant can always be proud, but further than this, two prizes are offered, twenty-five and fifteen dollars to the first and second successful contestants respectively. Two additional awards, one credit to each of the first two successful orators are also given by the English Department, under which the contest is held. These credits were first offered tills year as an additional incentive to the Juniors to partidiiatc in the Oratorieals. “PENN STATE FARMER” TO LAUNCH CAMPAIGN The Penn State Farmer, the magazine published by the agricultural students, announces a subscription campaign be ginning Wednesday.

GRAPPLING CAPTAIN APPOINTED COACH Captain of Last Season’s Varsity Wrestling Team to Assume Lill ies in September I'uiui State's wrestling squad for the 1222 season- will be coached by D. D. Detur '22 who was captain of the In tercollegiate champion wrestling team and who lias been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of former wrestling coach, ''Doc” Lewis. Thu appointment was ratified by the faculty Committee on Athletics lust week und beginning next September, the former wrestling team pilot will have the title of Assistant instructor in Athletics and und will be u member of Penn State's coaching staff. The duties of his position will begin imme diately upon the opening of the school term in next September and will con tinue fur the remainder of the tun months composing the school year. D. Jj. Detur '2l was last year inter euiiegiat'i champion wrestler ,'n the 135 pound class, having been victorious In the intercollegiate contests held at the University of Pennsylvania. At the end of the 1320 wrestling season, he was elected to pilot thu Penn State grappling team through the following season to succcdu Captain Mills who was lost to the squad by graduation. Mu made an enviable record fur him self in this capacity and Lime and ag ain showed admiring crowds that ne was far superior to his various oppon ents in skill, dexterity, und strength. In order to give next season’s squad the best that cun be given in coaching in the grappling art, Dutar plans to spend the summer under the tutelage of u prominent professional wrestler for tlie purpose <»l* adding to his know ledge and technique of this sport. Upoir tiie opening of college in the fall, he will assist in gymnasium work for a short time until the classes are well under way and then he will issue a call fur candidates seeking a position on the wrestling squad.

The members of the Penn Stato stu dent body and faculty are sorry to have “Doc** Lewis leave tlie ranks of the coaching staff because his history at the institution has been a succession of achievements. Since the college was granted a membership in the intercol legiate wrestling association, it has produced six championship teams un der tlie able coaching of “Doc" Lewis, lit has also been coach of lacrosse and tennis teams. His accomplishments in these various lines of sport speak well of his ability. His resignation lakes effect upon the closing of College in June.

Beside the unusually active program this year this meeting will also attract many former Penn State men and women to the Nittany school. The pro posed increase in membership dues will allow Lhc Alumni Association to broaden their work and to make it more effec tive than the present fees enable them to do. Many graduates realize this and will come to vote for the amendment that progress may be made at tlie Blue and White institution. Branch alumni . assuelaions throughout the state ituve seen the need of this change and have recommended it. At the present time ,the Constitu- tion calls for an annual payment of two dollars for members. Life mem berships now cost forty dollars and an endowment membership sells ut one hundred dollars. From preliminary figures by the committee, it is evident that Jt will be necessary to raise the ordinury membership dues to a point not less than three dollars and a half, it seems advisable to have the fees not less than four dollars and sumc branch tsoclalions have recommended five dol ors us a sum adequate to meet the situ- ation. Should the ordinary dues he placed at four dollars, it will bo neces sary to increusc the ilfo memberships to eighty dollars and that of the endow ment type to tlie one hundred and fifty dollar murk. Article Six of the Constitution of the Alumni Association which concerns the membership fees, reads as follows: “An annual payment of two dollars shall be required of each member and as sociate of tills payment shall entitle him to ail the benefits of the Associa tion and one copy of cuch publication of the Association. Any member or as sociate who shall fail to pay his dues to the Association for a period of two years shall not lie entitled to any of tlie rights und privileges of the Associa tion." This article makes no mention of life and endowment memberships but at the annual meeting in 1917 the al umni voted to accept tho recommen dation of the Alumni Secretary prov- iding for tho Alumni Endowment fund composed of Life Memberships of forty dollars each and endowment member ships of one hundred dollars. A special stress is now being placed on the last two types of membership. Although tlie life membership is clicap- ;r in the end. It is more valuable to the Association. It pays for twenty years membership ail at once, while tho average life of a man out of college is over thirty years, giving ten years free membership. This sum is put on in terest at five per cent and yields the Association the same amount as the yearly membership. What is really wanted however, it to have the graduates take out an en dowment membership. It is urged that for the benefit derived at college, no man or woman can pay too much into the Alumni Association. One way by which a graduate can partly express his appreciation is through tho endow ment membership.

BATSMEN ARE TO PLAY PITTSBURGH COLLEGIANS TODAY Pittsburgh Team Will Open Ils Season Against Nittany Baseballers LIGHTNER OUT OF LINE-UP University of Detroit to Play Two Game Series Here at , End of Week Fresh from their victorious journey through the east, where they trampled Princeton, New York University, Yale and Lehigh under, "Bez's" baseball pro teges will oi*on another week on the diamond l»y meeting tlie Pittsburgh Collegians tomorrow afternoon at four oViix-k on New Beaver and will close the week by tackling the University of Detroit hero in a two game series on Friday and Saturday. The Pittsburgh leant opens its season with the Blue ami Willie nine so that little dope may be hud as to its strength. It will lie remembered that lust year the Nit tany men walloped the collegians by a one-sided score of 10 to 2, completely outclassing them in all respects. Gram ley, star hurler for Penn State last sea sub. pitched ami ulowed the visitors only two small hits. On the other hnhil, thu Blue and White men bom barded tiie opposing pitchers and se cured eleven solid smacks. Mullan knocked two homers. Taking these facts into account, it is hardly possible that the Smoky City nine will give the Nittany batsmen a real stiff tussle. The latter should be aide to rest up some what before tlie two contests with De troit. Following the game with Penn Slate on Tuesday, the Collegians will travel to Btiekuell and Bellefontc and will eventually meet the leading inde pendent clubs of tlie stato. They are managed by Edwin Pentland. The varsity nine. Is in fairly good shape after ils stiff eastern Jaunt with the exception of IJghtner, who injured ids leg in the Princeton gume on Wed nesday. lie was unable to participate in tiie last three games of the trip and will probably not play tomorrow against tiie Collegians. His pinco, how eve -, was ably filled by Itintz. the lat ter performing in big league style in all tin eo contests. Hints: will in all probability appear in left field tomor row. The heavy slugging by tlie Blue and White diamond men lust week in- Uiry,‘.ci that they have not. lost their baiting eyes and are able to hit almost any college pitcher quite freely. They secured tit least nine hits in every game of tiie eastern trip Tlie pitching staff of tlie Nittany nine performed well on the trip too. Miller, who had not hurled for tiie varsity tills year, got into action for the first time against New York University and hold the metropolitans to two hits in four inn ings. He also pitched in the Lehigh : game but weakened in tlie sixth frame and was replaced by Mellinger. Hunt er started in tlie box against New York and twirled good ball for five innings, lie will probably pitch tomorrow since Thomas appeared ir. the Yale game for the entire contest and Mellinger Imre tlie brunt of tho Tiger attack until tlie tenth inning. SENIORS MUST REPORT FOR PHYSICAL EXAMS Yesterday, today, Wednesday and Thursday are days set for tho physician to examine those who have taken out insurance policies in the Senior en dowment fund. The doctor is stationed in the Armory and conducts examina tions at the following hours: morning, commencing at nine o'clock; in the afternoon, from one-thirty p. m. until five-thirty; in the evening from seven until nine o'clock. Tho committee in clmrge of the cam paign lias announced that if there are still any members of tlie graduating class wlio have not had an opportunity to subscribe to the fund and wish to do so, that they should report to the Ar mory for examination and at that time take out one of tlie policies.

The game went nip and tuck for fivo innings, each team scoring five tallies, but in the next two frames the Academy play ers pushed over three runs and were leading S to 5 when tlie yearlings came to bat in the ninth. Four single coupl ed with a base on balls and error by the visitors however swung the con test in favor of tlie Nittany Freshmen and the game ended with Hynes’ winn ing run. Both teams played ragged ball on Saturday and gave little sup port to their respective pitchers. Delle fontc made eight errors while the Blue and While yearlings booted tlie ball seven times, four of the latter errors •coming in the first inning. Fixter started in the box for tlie Frosh but was touched freely by tlie Beliefonte men and was taken out at the beginn ing of tiie ninth to lie replaced by Dam- Itly, who managed to hold the visitors scoreless for the remainder uf the game. .Stefan lasted tlie entire dis tance for the Academy although he was rather wobbly at times, and practically blew up in tlie lust frame. He allowed ten bits. The’Blue and - Wlrlto first year inuii did not get busy until the second inn ing when they landed thelr'first count er, by inking advantage of three Belie fonte bungles.

Tiie Sophomores now stand at tlie top of tlie league. Tiie game be tween the Sophomores ami Juniors last Wednesday resulted in a tie neither side scoring. In case this game is played over it will probably be some night tills week. The season will wind uji witli the annual Frcshnrcn-Sopho morc class scrap which will be held Saturday, May twenty-first on the drill field. Tlie second year men having won the intcr-clnss title expect to add another victory ut that time, but tlie yearlings have been improving,rapidly as the season has advanced and are confident that they can spring a sur prise. A lot of enthusiasm is being displayed ut these inter-ciass games and lots of varsity material is being developed. Only six men are being lost by graduation and tho prospects for a good team next 'year aro excep tionally bright. With a large number of veterans left, and a lot of promising material in sight there is n good chance of repeating the performance of last year’s soccer squad which went thru the season undefeated.
