Fred, Trodding Rutted Turf, Recalls Scene of Undergraduate Endeavors Ficd Waring, six yoais ago only a second assistant footbnl! manager, tolled up to New Bcavei in his Cad illac Wednesday afternoon, draped his lacoon coat around his collegiate form, and stepped onto the cleat-rut ted turf of New Beaver field. “Hello Be?,” he said cheerfully Ten min utes later Fled was posing with Bez and Larrie Conover, Penn State’s football patriarchs for a newspaper photograph. Moral—if vou can make an instrument talk, don’t go to col lege. Mr. Waring is an agiooablo young man (ndv) and lie can make an or chestra play, but all this popularity has not swelled his pride. To the boys ho is still Freddie. “I’ll always bo Freddie,” lie asserts stoutly. “You should see me in my R. 0. T. C. uniform. I look the nuts!” Yes, good fortune has not turned our Freddie’s head.

Green, head of the Nature Study department of the College They never know when Ins luggage may contain a fine collection of live! snakes, lizards, homed toads or clhei wild life specimens. Each week Professor Green goes to Philadelphia and West Chester, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton to con duct his courses in nature study at tended by three hundred and fifty public school teachere of those cities. When he boards the train at Phila delphia, he totes his own bag—for porters know his “sample case ” A few days ago, Professor Green, who is president of the American Nature Study Society, took ten var ieties of snakes, including a rattler and a copperhead, in a suitcase to Cleveland to illustrate his lecture to the Natural History Society of that city. Needless to say “he carried bis own."

R Green, head of the na ture Study department, announced that a total of over five hundred teachers are learning the basic facts of nature study in the seven night classes he and two assistants arc conducting this fall in the larger cit ies of the state in the extension courses offered by that department. The largest classes are m Scran ton where Professor Green meets 115 teachers for an afternoon session and 143 more in an evening class Each week he also meets thirty-five teach ers at the Keystone school, Upper Darby, thirty in the Blankenburg school in Philadelphia and thirty five at West Chester.

It is not definitely known, but is likely that Freddie took Commerce and Fi nance, for the orchcstia he organized at school became the most talked of College group since the Penn State football team which trimmed the Uni versity of Washington m 1921, 21-7. The first night that Waring’s Penn sylvanians came to town the Cathaum was crowed. On Tuesday it was packed. On Wednesday it simply bulged. Those eighteen men are hot!
