When he returned to Penn State, he

Coach Marlin’* exceptionally attract
jve personality ami his far-sighted wia
dom in the handling of men have been
noted by all who have come in con
tact with him, and these characteristics
have been evidenced in the track teams
he has turned, out for Perm State. They
an which show the training of
a past master in the art of coaching,
aa well as of a true believer In men.
His dealings are with the individual
as well as the group. Komlg, Demming
Shields and scores of others who have
i-ome into prominence in truck circles
since 1913 are murks of his ability and
embodiments of the clean sportsmanship
which this Blue and White mentor has
always endeavored to instill Into his
proteges. "Bill" is not satisfied with
merely "calling” a man for an error
tat in his quiet way he shares the
athlete’s burden, helping him to over
ante the weak points in his athletic
makeup us well as in his character.
A characteristic of l'emi Stale runners
that has often been remarked is their
regard fur "BUI.” They are spurred on
bya dual affection —that for Penn Stale
and that for their coach. It is because
‘Blir will be able to accomplish in a
larger way and with a larger group of
men what he has done at Peim State,
that he has decided to go to llurvard.
The members of tho track and cross
country squads feel his loss keenly, hut
fully realize that the greater scope of
hii work with the Crimson is ample
juatiflcatlon for his acceptance of Har
vard's offer.

JUBILEE SINGERS WILL
! PRESENT NEGRO SONGS
| Popular Melody Coming to
Penn State Under Auspiceß
of Endowment Fund
The famed Fisk Jubilee Singers who
| are to iMMform for the benetli of the
; Girls* Kndowment Fund on Decemhei 1
: twelfth, have been recommended by
musical circles over the entire country.
Mrs. H. 13, Talbot from Dayton. Ohio
says: “It has been my privilege to hear
the Fisk Jubilee Singers and l consider
their work most valuable, not only
from an artistic standpoint but as a
matter of maintaining the traditions of
music as peculiar to the colored race.
“Their Mdelity to real melody and
charm is noticeable in every phase of
their work. There is a conscientious
effort on the part of everyone to do his
part with time faithfulness and earnest
ness."
From the “Columbus Evening Dis
patch, Columbus, Ohio, we ilnd this ar
ticle:
! When the Fisk University Jubilee
Singers were in New York City last
month, they satisfied a three year old
desire of the Columbia Graph
aphone Company to make some records.
Their performance was one of the sur
prises of the season in that place where
melody from the world's greatest ar
ista is a common mutter. The Singers
rendered one selection when J. C. Jell,
manager of the recording department,
called all the employees of the one com
pany together, telling them they were
to hear something extraordinary. When
asked by the Singers for an endorse
ment, he said, “Write any-endorsement
you please and sign it with ray name.
Vou can’t be teo extravagant with your
expression. I have never heard any
thing equal to this/'
“Musical Amorlca” says, “No group
of artists,, negro or white, sings with
more unity of spirit and more delicate
observance of shading and tone.”
James A. Myers, is a tenor singer
whose voice is known to thousands of
admirers who have heard it on phono
graph records and in concerts.

been at the basis of the trouble. The
: penalty for an act of roughness which
deprives an opponent of a well earned
. advantage, in many cases has been
i penalized no more severely than a minor
infraction such as an Illegal dribble.
To remedy this condition a stifTer pen

A yeat* ago u special committee was
appointed to make a careful study of
the subject. Under the direction of Dr.
J. E. Raycroft this committee presented
definite recommendations at the an

most technical fouls, such as running
with the bail, illegal dribble, and in

been classified as violations, the penal

Engineering Sells, Too!
A whole lot of the make-believe has been
eliminated from selling operations in the
past ten years. The old idea that sales
men were born to the sample-case, that
they carried some sort of a special diplo
ma from the University of Pooh, has had
to break camp, along with the other
exploded theory which insisted that a
salesman must be a “good fellow”, a man
of strange habits, tremendous stories,
and unquestioned qualities both as a
mixer, and as an assimilator.
Now we believe —nay, we know—
that the best salesman, is the man who
knows most about his goods, and can
talk most interestingly about them.
This being the proven case, it isn't so
queer that engineering should find a real
and effective application in the selling
