GIRLS.HAVE_COMPETED IN
LARGE LIST OF SPORTS
A visitor to Holmes Meld, when the
t women students are having a gymnas
t i lum class, would see a very different
sight from that which might hnvo• boon
t witnessed about ton years ago when the
..- first gymnasium classes worn held in
the Armory under Mr. Lewis. About
' that' time Interest , in tennis and basket-
4 ball also was aroused, and athletics as
, sumed a definite, though small, place
, in The glrhe college work
There have been varying chaninw_ In
the development of athletics, each one
representing the improvement possible
In, view of existing limitations In 1916
a progressive atop was made when a
woman , instructor was natured. This
first athletic director has' been follow
ed by four other teadhers, each of whom
has added some now feature to the
work: Basketball, tennis, hockey, vol
leyball, golf, lniieball and track coned
lute the list of sports in which the
girls have competed. At one time fenc
ing was also on this list, and now soccer
has been added.
While each year an effort is made
to improve athletics, there is little
Progress which mn be made with pres
ent facilities. During the winter, when
the work must be carried on Inside,
many girls am kept from participating
In athletim because of the few hours
in which the Armory is available. This
makes It considerably more dillicult to
maintain Interest and enthusiasm
among the girls.
Another great drawback Is the lack
of coy competition with outside schools.
Class teams are formed and Inter-class
games played off, this develops enlY
class rivalry. After all class g.s.e9
have been played, varsity teams in each
sport are chosen, but here Is encounter
ed one of the limitations The varsity
, teams have no opportunity to play Out
eide-games which would be a big far:
tor to developing permanent enthusiasm
, and a decided progressive step
Just as was said ten years ago when
athletics for women students were first
Instituted, hopes are still being foster
ed for real advancement In this line of
work. Along with the plane for a Great
er Penn State are plans for a physical
education building for women, which
will provide necessary equipment for
the realization of these hopes

Farmers Me Eligible After Hay
ing Produced 400 Bushels
of Tubers Per Acre
A . 400-Bushel" potato club bus re
cently been organized throughout the
elate in order to stimulate potato Im-
Drovement and more economical pro
duction Membership In this club Is
limited to those Pennsylvania farmers
who have raised four hundred or more
bushels of potatoes on a single acre
The club was in existence last year
but operated on a more limited scale
than Is expected this year To become
a member of this club a farmer calla
upon his county agent and has his acre
measured and the yield certified. If his
yield Is found to contain the required
amount, he Is made a member of this
club and In addition is awarded a gold
badge in the form of a keystone with
his name and the yield per acre in
scribed on the back These medals are
being donated by the Pennsylvania and
Maryland Joint Stock Land Bank, of
liarrisburg, of which Fred Rasmussen,
former Secretary of Agriculture In
Pennsylmnia, Ls' president The man
oho has the highest yield per acre be
comes president of the chib and the
next highest secretary. It Is interest
ing to note that last year forty farm

highest yield per acre so far this year
was made by the College farms, on
ehich were raised es high as 438 bush-1
els per acre It is doubtful it this re
cord will be equalled this year This

Trip On Great Lakes Is Made in
Fast Freighter—Stop Made
at Buffalo, N. Y.
Dean R. L Watts of the School of
Agriculture returned to State College
last Tuesday afternoon from an extend
ed trip to Buffalo and the Great Lakes
region. The dean was accompanied by
his wife on most of the journey.
The first stop made by Dean Watts
was at Buffalo, New 'York where Max
annual convention of the Vegetable!
Growers' Association of America was
In session A contest in judging of
vegetal.. by junior commercial gard
eners between the ages of Comity and
twenty-eight tens a feature of this con
vention, and the dean had the double
pleasure of watching both a Penn Slate
man and a very close relative win drat
honor This winner was Dean Watts'
own eon, Gilbert S Watts. 'lB, a grad
uate from the Department of Horti
culture To win this prize, which was a
handsome gold medal, the younger
Watts had to beat out some of the best
vegetable judges in the country,
From Buffalo, Dean Watts went by
way of the Great Lakes to examine
the quarries of the Michigan Limestone
and Chemical Company, located at
Calcite, Michigan. The trip to Calcite
was made on one of the limestone
company's fastest freighters, carrying
10,000 tons of stone and this proved an
added experience and thrill for the
Penn State dean
Additional Interest is given to these
quarries for several reasons, ono of
them being that they are the source
of much of the limo used in this dis
trict The grade of limestone is prac
tically the purest there is to be found
anywhere On the average these quar
ries have an output of 90,000 tons of
stone a day—an enormous figure
