It is there fore rumored that the state student chairman E. E Overdorf '22 will In vite the delegates to come to Penn State and they are assured of a hearty reception / 'Westerners Organized In their characteristic manner, the western Institutions are rapidly fall ing into line and will no doubt be ready for the climax of the movement os soon as thoso in the east On Novombor seventeenth, the college and universities along the Pacific coast sent delegates to tho conference that was held In tho southern part of Cali- fornia. The vote taken at that time , „ was decisive—California students want * permanent peace nnd they also want , to abolish all policies that might lead / to future conflicts. Word was received by Mr Overdorf last week that the students In Minne sota were organized and had selected their state chairman In the circular letter that was sent broadcast from tho college with the ap proval of the executive committee, the history of the movement was related with tho purpose In mind to acquaint all the Institutions of the country with tho details of organization, ‘and tho reasons why tho movement deserves tho attention of all % college students COLLEGE HEED' EXAMINED FOR TUBERCULAR REACTION The College herd has for tho last two years been on the Federally accredited list as free from tuberculosis About a week ago tho herd onco more under went tho annual test, tho examination being carried on by Dr Ira Mlttenburg of tho Pennsylvania Bureau of Animal Industry, oci i n~uv|c>c>n,i prnn Slate EDDY SUCCESSFUL IN THIRD CAMPAIGN HERE Noted Student Leader Makes Great Im pression by Discussion On European Conditions and Disarmament COMPETENT TEACHERS TO HEAD DISCUSSION GROUPS WHICH WILL BE FORMED TONIGHT Sherwood Eddy, with his powerful message anil winning personality, once again won his way into the hearts of the Penn State students and success fully put across his third campaign for better Christian standards at Penn State Dr Eddy camo to Penn State on exceptionally short notice and the suddenoss of his coming made it im possible for tho Y M.

The impression he left here in his pre vious visit made a tremendous change in many students and made a marked improvement In the general character of Penn State' undergraduates The lecentweek end meetings had a simi lar effect, many Freshmen and Sopho mores who were reached by Jlddy's message for the first time wore greatly impiessed and their life will undoubt edly be affected by tho message which VARSITY QUINTETS ENJOY INACTIVITY Absence of Coach Hermann and Killmger Retards Progress . in Practice FORTY ON FROSH SQUAD The past weelt of basketball practice may be likened to the lull that preced es tho storm for the Penn State ball tossers are enjoying a period of in activity before they begin the strenu ous workouts that precede the varsity season Due to the fact that Coach Hermann ha? been forced to be absent from tho cotlbgo for a short time, the squad is going thiough no extensive preparations for the schedule at tho present time The absonco of Glenn Killingcr '22 who is away on the west ern football trip Is also having Its effect upon both varsity and freshman practice However, up to tho present time, several likely candidates have display ed material that must be recognized In the selection of the varsity quintet : Reed '24 and Miller '23 are doing won derful work in tho forward positions while Shalr ,'23 and Fixter ’24 ore fighting for the center position and both seem to bo in better form than they were In last season Koehler ’23, Marshall ’23 and Jones ’22 have re ported for the guard positions with Koehler showing tho benefits derived from a season’s playing "With tho close of tho football sea son, tho ranks of candidates will no doubt bo materially strengthened with the addition of Rlttner '22, Wilson '24, Cornwall ’24, and Fiank '24, not to mention a few others who promise to make a strong berth for varsity posi tions The first year squad has been cut to number not more than forty in or der that the coaches may watch them before taking any definite steps to ward a selection Koehler is taking tho place of Killingcr ns coach for the time being but will relinquish the res ponsibility of Instruction as soon as “Killy” returns For tho present week there will be practice every night on tho Armory floor after the varsity Bquad finishes its workout VAPOR HEATING IS SUBJECT OF ENGINEERING LECTURE t What promises to be one of tho best engineering lectures to bo given at tho collcgo this year is scheduled for to night in Engineering D, room 200 The subject of the talk' will ‘ be concerned with vapor heating and will coincide with tho work of tho Department of Mechanical Engineering For the past few years, it has been tho policy of the Hoffman Specialty Company, of Watcrbury, Conn, to have a representative on tho road to explain the principles underlying the appilca tlon-ot modern steam heating appli ances.

Juniors and Seniors, who had heard him before, received a new impression of the great evangelist and his messages gave a. finishing touch or a recnforcement to the imptession which he made at Penn State several years ago * Discussion Groups Pi obably the most direct result of Dr Eddy's thiee day stay at this in stitution Is tho formation of discussion groups throughout tho town Ail per sons who are interested In the formation of such groups are requested to meet in the “Y” Hut tonight at seven o’- clock Tho Y JL C A will secure competent leaders for all the groups that arc formed Many students arc interested in the discussion of indus trial problems, others arc Interested in the discussion of agricultural prob lems, others in problems connected with the Limitation of Armaments Conference, and many will be interest ed In the formation of bible study’ groups It is quite likely that the group discussing Industrial problems will be led by Dean Sackctt of the School of Engineering and equally competent leaders will be secured for the other classes that are to be formed A Man of Wide Experience Sherwood Eddy is a man of wide ex* (Continued on third page) GRAPPLERS EXPECT STRENUOUS SEASON Two Dates Still Open On Varsity Card—lnterclass Meet Set for January Twenty-First PRACTICE TIME ARRANGED Prospects for one of tho best wrest ling seasons ever scheduled .at Penn State are becoming brighter as tho season approaches because of the largo numbei of candidates who are working out nightly in the hope of securing a betth on the squad Coach Detar stat es that thei e are yet a number of men who have not demonstrated their abil ity and much valuable material may be unearthed within the next few weeks In order that all men working out for positions on the wrestling team can have an equal amount of time In which to spend on their studies and mat work, tho following schedule has boon drawn up by’ Coach Detar and is to bo followed in detail On Monday’, Wednesday, and Friday nights, the Seniors and Freshmen will report at the aimory for their work On Tues day and Thursday nights and Saturday afternoon the Juniors and Sophomores are scheduled for workouts Nights on which the men arc not scheduled for mat work will bo used for track workouts to keep in condition Many of the men are showing up ; very favorably and with a regular schedule of workouts now In order It order It Is expected that the sturdy material will be found and whipped into shape for tho winter season. There was some trouble In finding good mat erial for the 125 pound class but G ML Davis 122 Is making a strong bid for this position ' The schedule for the 1922 season has been drawn up and Is now practically completed On ~lt are represented teams which will provide tho stlffcst possible opposition and from all indi cations tho Blue and White will have to work as hard or harder In order to complete as successful a season as it did last year in winning the Intorcol leglates As yet two dates remain open and the manager Is trying to secure home contests that are of tho same calibre as the rest of the teams on the schedulo The schedule as now drawn up Is as follow’s* Fob 11—Lehigh at Lehigh, Feb 18—Cornell, at home.

Intorcollegiatcs at Lehigh Work is also under way In prepar ation for tho annual Sophomore Frosh scrap which* will probably take place January fourteenth Trials for the 1921 team will bo held the week before Christmas and the' Freshman trials will take place tho week after tho hol idays. Tho Inter class wrestling meet l Is scheduled for January tweoty- the benefit of tho Pennsyl vania Tuberculosis Society. The sale is to take place from December fifth to December eleventh Tho work of this organization is well known throughout the country by its efforts to free Penn sylvania from tuberculosis and, as tho sate of the stamps each year at Christ mas time is the only means by which U can raise money in order to carry* on Its work, it is tho Important privil ege and duty of everyone to buy those! stamps, when they aro offered for sale. f The Team Got Along i I Swimmingly at Pitt I They Say PRICE FIVE CENTS REACHED COAST MONDAY Bezdek And Players Looking For Hard Game—Both Teams Will Close Season Saturday 23 PLAYERS MAKE TRIP Nittany Mentor Has Four Days To Get Men in Shape—Will Practice in Stadium Undefeated In the East, after meot- lag some of tho season’s best teams, Penn State’s gridiron warriors depart- ed for the west Thanksgiving evening and yesterday morning arrived In Seattle for their Intersectional battle with the University of Washington Four days yet remain before the big game but, although the Nittanyltes emerged from tho scrap with the Pitt Panther In fairly good shape, Coach Bezdek and his assistants will need every available minute to bring the players around into tip-top condition. Only two or three stops were mode on the transcontinental Journey to tho coast and tho men necessarily became stiff and tired “Bez" is looking forward to one of tho hardest games of tho year Satur day In spite of the rather modicore re cord which the Wellington eleven has made to date It has lost three out of eight contests, going down to defeat at tho hands of California, Oregon Ag gies, and Washington State, hut In the last two named games, the scores have been small'and the winning teams have had to fight every inch of the way in Che California game, the score was very much one-sided but tho California aggregation has cleaned up every foot-_ ball s fKom ii on' r? tEe’- s season by decisive scores Friends of Penn Stato In tbe west have warned “Bez” that the California score is not a true indication of the strength of the Washington machine. The latter held the strong Lclond-Stanford el even to a scoreless tie Its western schedule closed last Saturday when Washington State was met, while the battle with Penn Stato this week brings tho entire schedule to a close at tho same time that the Nittany Lions complete their schedule. Penn State Receives Other Offers Penn State received numerous offers this month for post-season games with big teams of tho country but was un able to accept because any one of thoso would necessarily prolong the training of the players and would In terfere to a groat extent with their school work “Feelers” ’ wero sent to tho Athletic Association hero, asking what the authorities thought of games with Notre Dame at tho Polo Grounds, Centre College at Chicago, the University of Texas at Dallas, Oro \ gon Aggies at Portland, and the Univ ersity of California at Pasadena. In each caso a flat refusal was sent be cause of the fact that tbe Washington game had already been scheduled and becauso of tho reasons stated above. Tho coaches felt too that nothing would bo gained by playing any one of the opponents listed The 1921 Nittany* football schedule will thus come to a close this Saturday. Four Days Of Fraetko Coach Bezdek still has four days In which to bring tho Blue and White warriors out of the slump which they struck at Pittsburgh on Turkey Day and he believes that ho can do It, now that the mon are In a different envir onment and aro away from tho fever ish conditions which oxlst here Thru tho courtesy of tho Washington offi cials, tbe Penn Stato squad will bo permitted to practice in tho Stadium at Seattle and each day, will be sent thru a stiff workout. The day will probably bo passed In limbering up tho players and getting out the kinks which developed during tho long trip from tho East but tho next throe days will undoubtedly sco some real work for tho mon Considerable time will bo devoted to signal practice and it Is very probable that a short tlmo each day will bo given over to scrimmage work Assistant Coach Harlow pre coded tho squad to tho coast lost week and will bo on hand to bolster tho Nit tany line, one part of tho Penn State machlna which did not function to tho highest degree against tho Panther The Pitt line plainly outplayed it Twenty-throe players wero taken to as a reward for tho wonder ful showing they have mado this year, the personnel of the party being as follows.
