With the loss of but two men fiom

fieshmen to cam their numerals, m
addition to learning impoitant phases
of the sport in piepaiation for the
annual sophomoi e-y earling sci np

Plans ha\e piactically been completed
for the foimation of a icgulni plebe

Although Coach Ralph Leonaul at
piescnt is busily engaged as tutor of
the Nittany soccer squad, it is lus
desne to continue lacrosse piactice
throughout the winter. In Uns way
it is hoped that a bettei laciosse
spmt can be eieatcd among the fol
loweis of the spoit at tins institution.
In the eight years that laciosse has
been fosteicd at Fenn State a win

because the play on never had the

The whistle didn't blow, but the
Old Mam bell rang and Stunt Night
came off just the same and as smooth
ly ns ever. Suddenly, as soon as
the tolling of the bell was heuid, ovei
nine bundled freshmen poured forth
from then lespective lodgings to get
their shaie of Stunt Night
If Penn State should ever decide
to have a crew, there is no doubt (in
the minds of the sophs) that eveiy

wish to row and who failed to keep

Swimming was one of the major
spoils of the evening and all partici
pated Any who sunk were bi ought
back to life by the use of paddles
After such intensive exercise, the,
first year men were allowed to rest
their weary bones for a few seconds,
only.
The freshmen were kept in high
spirits as was shown by the way m
which they sang then class song, “We
ain’t gonna work no more,” which the
sophs agioe is all bunk. Soon Holmes
Field came into view and the plebes
began singing “There goes our wood."
Brand and Gauntlet
“Slow down fiosh,” yelled the
sophs in order that each freshman
might be branded. This was done so
that he may be distinguished from

Canton Christian college, C W. Groff
*O7 will speak at the Penn State
Chapel service Sunday morning, Oc

As “Daddy” Groff pointed out be

of students pledged money in vnrving
amounts to be used in aiding tins
work which began fourteen years ago
when Mr Groff tool: charge of the

tution. Since that time his work lias
gained lecognilion from both the Chi

This opportunity to hear “Daddy”
Groff tell of his experiences in China
and of the conditions existing theie is
likely to be the onlv one that will offer
itself to many of the Penn State stu
