under-graduates, running lor the
Mcadowbrook Club, camo away £rom
the Middle Atluntic Association A. A.
U Track and Field Meet held at Phila
delphia last Saturday with new laurels
and championships The live Penn,
State men to score points lor the
Meadow brook Club were J. L>. Romig
’2l, H E Barron ’22, H. M Parent ’2l,
C H Kauffman '23, and D B Taylor
'22. Bairon and Romig proved to be
the most spectacular runners of the
meet. \The Olympic star won both the
high and low hurdles and Romig, who
holds'the Intercollegiate Cross Country
Championship, and who is also Nation
al Two Mile Champion, won the
Middle Atlantic one mile title by com
ing through with a flashy finish In
the last two hundred yards of* the
race. '
In the 120 yard hurdles, Penn State
men had things very much their
own way, Barron, Parent and Bile fin
ishing for Meadowbrook In the-order
mentioned, Bairon won in 1C 1-5 sec
onds, and he also came in first in the
low hurdles, the winning’ time being
27 2-5 seconds
The most spectacular event of the
afternoon, however, was the one mile
run. In which Romig put on a wonder
ful spurt of speed In the last two hun
dred yards and thereby nosed out his
team mate by six Inches Romig
ran a race which was somewhat of a
different nature than Penn State stud
ents are accustomed to see him run
In the first place he did not start
off with a long steady, strido and take
the load for the first three rounds In
stead of that ho started with an easy
pace and permitted the other runners
to take the lead, keeping within a safe
distance until within about two hun
- Ured yards of the tape Ho then in
, , ' creased his stride and finished just
; ' about six inches to the good Romlg’s
was 4 minutes 38-2-5

Chapel “B" vv as nlso addressed by
Piesident Thomas, but a different text
was chosen “Knock and tho door
shall be opened to yuu" is anothei‘pait
of the Bible which deals entirely with
what decides the fate of eaoli member
of the human race and which enters
into the selling of success and fail
ure Tho individual who sees an op
poitunltv, "realbes its value to him.

of mmtnlfty. it is noteworthy that

Thu fiist difficulty that, piesented it
self to Coach Bcvdek vv is the large list
of uippks and this difficulty has not
yet been ovcitomc, although the same
names have not appealed on the lists
foi mote than a week At present,
Hcppcnstall. Killingei, Bcdenk, Logue,
Aladeiu, and Hamilton aie unwillingly
taking a short vacation due to the in-
Julius they loceived last week but in
dications favor theli return to .the
squad befoie next Satuiday’s game
“Tiny ' McMahon was .foiccd to give
up practice foi a d iy but Is now b'ick
in his position on the lino The dam
tgc caused by a diy\» absence cannot
be repaii ed at this time in the season
for cveiv hour counts toward the
building up of tlie Nittany eleven
To overcome this obst tele as muph
as possible. Coach Bc/alek has decided
to test the staying povvus of each of
his injuied men hefmo tho oiwl of the
week so that he can ascertain the
real value of the teams in then pies
ent conditions Tho pioposcri test will
indicate without a doubt the suength
of the injured parts of each playci for.
if the player is rnrnhlu to continue after
the first day, "Bez” will know that he
cannot hope to see the injured man
hick In the lineup foi at least a week,
while if tho injury Is appaiently healed
a few days qf light work will restore
the weikenod pait to normal condition
and the additional advantage will have
been gained in having the piivci pres

_ t ' CloopcraUmi ,
The great 1 need of the' team'ls'a*
smooth coordination that is an. essen
tial of a fi Ictlonless football machine
This qu ility is lacking in the Nittany
team to date and can only be secured
by liaid earnest woik on the pait of
all mcmbeis of the squad Each play
er on the line is not yet fully acquaint
ed with the numbeiicss angles md
viewpoints of his position which is due
to the fact that the daily change oC
men Horn the field to the cilppled lists
pi events Coach Buzdek Horn nuking
tho linesmen fully Infouned as to the
fundamentals of the game. This cius
es a slow development in scrimmage of
both offensive* and delcnslve woik
Four or live weeks at least will be
needed to develop the eleven to such
a condition tint Coich Bundok will he
able to take an imentoiy of the wouh
of the* team and leport upon its exact
v ilue Until then, both coach and
players will put foith theh best effoits
to make the iggugition what it
should be
The IJne I, Week
The coaching stiff is concerned ov
ei the condition ot the line which Is
much weaken that it should be nt tills
time In the season, although the ditfl
culty does not seem to be a dangeious
one Tho men th it me playing line
positions this yoai me exceptionally
big und heavy and should m ike a
pecs less stronghold once coopeiii|tion
is developed Tho heaviness of the
line letaids Its speed in that it takes
too long to get st u ted w hen i play
is called Only sUCC pt ictice can el
iminate* this and the cotches are leav
ing nothing updone to speed up tho
combination
On the other hand, there aie two
fbst class bickflokls among tho four
teams that compose the squad Ex
perience. w eight, speed, and resolution
are qualiiie v s that mo picsent In both.
A steady, consistent qunitet of bncks
is sure to develop if the other diifi
cultios melt away befoie the diily
gilnd on the turf and then the ins
pects for the so.cson will not be ns dim
iu> they appeir to be now
Secret practices will be continued
thioughout the woek in an attempt to
concentinte* the attention of the mole
skin wenters on every detail of the
practice and, with the advent of cool
ci weathei, the. coaching staff hopes
to biing about considerable Improve

Due to the continual shifting of posi
