Tuesday, December 5, 1922 INTER-UNIT basketball league is organized Penn State Club To Be Instrum ental In Arranging For Non- Fraternity Games The Penn State Club will again be instrumental in directing an inter unit basketball league in which non fraternity men-will participate. lost year these games were a singular suc cess and marked one of the accom plishments of the Penn State Club. The keen interest and sportsmanship shown have stimulated plans for a more successful season this year, with a greater number of units participating and an enlarged schedule If possible. The units from which teams are or ganised are those as shown on maps of the town in the Ofllclal Directory and Freshman Bible. The schedule Is so arranged that each unit will have the same number of games. A regular league schedule is planned for tho first part of the season while the lat ter part of the season will be devoted to an elimination contest to determine the winning team. This championship Is a coveted prize for any unit and It Is a fast, clever team that acquires the title. As a further incentive, the Athletic Association makes individual trophy awards to every member of the winning team. Managers for unit teams are repre* sentatlves from each unit elected by the non-fraternity men in the unit. Each unit is on its own Initiative to see that it is represented by an active manager who will, work for the beat advantage of the team. It is desired that men who were managers last year and are still in college should make immediate steps toward organizing their units again this year. In units not organized by a last year's manager, any man with the Initiative Is the .right man to get things started. All men interested In assuming managership can get full information as regards organization from Mr. Meyers, Physi cal Education Instructor, whose office is in the Armory or from C. M. Ogborne, Athletic Manager, at 228 West College Avenue. Each team has a quota of eight piayers which shall be composed en tirely of non-fraternity men. Fresh men and sophomores making .their re spective unit teams are excused from regularly assigned gym classes and are only required, to play scheduled games with their respective teams. This excuse Is granted only to those underclassmen who are signed up at the Athletic 'Office for' basketball ms their winter sport. Teams are not limited to such men for their selection of materia], the only requirement for eligibility being that the man live In the unit from which the team is se lected, and that he be a non-fraternity man. Games will be played two evenings a week from eight until nine o’clock. The floor is divided into halves so that two games may be played at tho same time. This condition holds for all except the elimination contests held at the end of the season when the full length of the floor will be used. This year, referees will be picked from capable men In the freshmen and sophomore classes who desire prac tice training'in this work. These men aid "receive gym credit for'refereeing one evening a week and excused from 'regular gym classes. Mr. Meyers will ]flve these men special instruction 'with a view toward developing a num ber of efficient fair men capable of handling a fast, close game of basket ball.

No definite teams have been picked but the men are working hard for places, and it will be difficult to make a selection because of the number of men who are fighting hard. There is a great deal of interest shown among the underclassmen this year in la crosse and where it was difficult in former years to get enough men for a good team, this year there Is enough good material in theifershman class for two teams. At least forty and an equal number of soph omores elected the-sport for physical education this fall. There Is plenty of excellent'material available for a varsity team In the spring, and no doubt after the football season is over a few of the football men will keep in training by playing la crosse. The schedute for next spring will be announced later. PRES. THOMAS RECEIVES LETTER OF APPRECIATION President Thomas has been the re cipient of a courteous letter from the acting president of Carnegie Tech, in appreciation of the many courtesies that Penn State afforded Tech student# on la#t Pennsylvania Day. The letter strikes a harmonious and significant note in the relations of the two schools. The letter follows: November 17, 1922. My dear President Thomas: May I ask you to convey to the stu dent body of Pennsylvania Suite College the deep appreciation of our under graduate’ body for the many courtesies that were shown; to the visitors on your campus last Saturday? Tho fine sportsmanlike spirit of the players on your team, made the visit of the men and women of Tech a memorable one. We value highly the cordial relations that exist between the two colleges. Believe me. Very sincerely yours, (signed) Thomas S. Baker MICHIGAN TO CONSTRUCT HUGE ATHLETIC BUILDING Another credit will be added to tho extensive building campaign of the University of Michigan, when the newly planned athletic building, under the supervision of the football coach, F.

The main room is to be the exact sl2e of a football field, thus permitting football practice through the 1 - whole winter,' a great'advantage over most colleges and universities.

SMITH SPEAKS ON WORLD SITUATION Noted Speaker Reports Universal Desire For Peace Among Nations He Visited Taking as his subject “Impression# of My Trip Abroad,” Fred B. Smith, official representative of the Church Federation of International Friendship, spoke In the Auditorium' last Tuesday evening as the last number of the lecture series which have been given throughout the year by the Student Fellowship for -Christian Life Service and the T. M. C. A. After a few preliminary remarks, Mr. Smith launched out on his subject j In a manner which held the attention of his audience from the beginning. The speaker told of his visits during the past year in seventeen countries of Europe and Aslu, in everyone of which, he said, he found an almost national desire for peace and yet an equally wide-spread movement to pre pare for a war which the people of those countries felt was Inevitable. Mr. Smith spoke of the enthusiastic re ceptions with which each of these countries welcomed him as a peace maker and a carrier of a possible so lution of tho question of the smoulder ing fires which threatened to break out at any minute and destroy the civilization of the present day. The speaker also told of the feeing which existed between the various countries which he visited, and how each one <jf them felt that they would have to fight her neighbors sometime in the near future. He spoke of the bitter hatred which Germany. Is hold ing against France at the present time and of the preparations which thnt nation is making to overthrow France in a coming war. And yet, Mr. Smith went on to say, when he crossed the Rhine, he found a feeling equally ns bitter against the German people. Mr. Smith attributes a great deal of ti»e existing feeling of unrest ami preparations for war to the politicians of the countries which he visited, rather than to the common people, hollowing this cue, the speaker pro posed several entertaining rules, which he thought would be Instrumental in puting an end to war for all time. Ono of the mast Important of these rules. Mr. Smith believes, is to lot the people see what war really is In all Us hor rihlcness, and let them then realize what a terrible thing warfare can be when It is stripped of alt its so-called glory and honor. This, ho believes, is tho real solution for the problem ami the one to which the natins should cling in order to bring about a con dition of future peace for the world. “BRIGHT BITS OF 1923” TO BE REHABS’ MUSICAL The fourth annual production of the Rehabilitation Club, "Bright Bits of 1923”, will be staged in the Auditor ium on April twenty-sixth and twen ty-seventh. Last year's presentation, ‘The Jollies of 1922" played to a crowded house, and was probably ono of the most successfully staged ama teur plays seen at Penn State last year. This year's production Is being staged under the same man, E» G. Mayer, and it bids fair to even surpass the high quality of last year's effort. The proceeds of the play will be de voted to the Rehab's building fund. In contrast to last year’s proceeds, which went towards providing scholarships for children of the Rehabs. “Bright Bits of 1923” Is a combined musical comedy and minstrel show, and should go over with great success. Work on the play, will bo started immediately. DR.

NAVY PAYS TRIBUTE TO PENN STATE ATHLETES Middies Like Penn State Because of Clean Sportsmanship Shown in Games Following closely on tho heels of the announcement that a Penn State-Navy football game was practically certain to be played at State College next fall, President Thomas last week made pub lic a letter from Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson, Superintendent of the Naval Academy, which President Thomas con siders the finest tribute ever given to Penn State for clean athletics and for good sportsmanship. The letter was os follows: "One of the things that has impressed mo about our athletics at the Naval Academy is the widespread feeling In the Regiment of good will tow*ard Penn State, this In spite of the fact that on most of our schedules the Penn State game means the hardest game. During my time at the Academy I have won dered about this and the game in Wash ington on November third has cement ed the lAllef (hat I have found the answer. “The Midshipmen like Penn State be cause, not only will the result of the game be in doubt until it is over, but also, they know that Penn State will fight hard and will fight clean in all forms of sport In which the two colleges meet. That seems to be Penn State's reputation—that they always fight, but that they fight clean. This was exem pted In the recent game when the two lines played each other to a virtual standstill, which meant the roughest sort of going, and yet the contest left only the ftnest sort of feeling of good sportsmanship. “I hope that In the years to come the relations between these two colleges may continue as friendly as they are! now.” OUR BEST RECOMMENDATION ; 30 Years Experience in lire BAKERY and ICE CREAM Business ' A uniform quality— i A reasonable price— • A good service— A trial price— STATE COLLEGE BAKERY Both Phones W.
