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.

When he boards the train at Phila

EXTENSION COURSES IN

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

courses offered by that department.
The largest classes are m Scran

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

on the department staff this year,
meets classes in Harrisburg, Lancas

he did swing a snappy violin bow.
t He left College m the middle of his
sophomore year with Ins greatest
claim to fame resting on Jus second
assistant managciship in 1920. It is
not definitely known, but is likely
that Freddie took Commerce and Fi

at school became the most talked of
College group since the Penn State
football team which trimmed the Uni
