" Tourney Held at. pia Although the State interscholastic basketball playoff games had their inception at Penn State, the game to morrow night will be the first here since 1928 In 1929, the Eastern In tercollegiate Boxing association tour nament conflicted with the holding of the games, and they were transferred to Pittsburgh. They were held at the University of Pennsylvania in 1930 and again at the Pitt Stadium pawl. lion last year A State-wide survey of sports editors in January revealed that there was a widespread desire to have the game returned here, and the COLLEGIAN joined the journalists and local athletic authorities in a vigorous campaign to make Penn State the site of the 1032 tilt. Early last month, the P. 1 A. A. board acceded to these requests, and, as a result, the game is being played here tomorrow night. YALE THEOLOGIAN TO SPEAK SUNDAY Tncedy Will Address Chapelgoers On 'Getting Your Money's Worth' at Service "Getting Your Money's Worth" will be the subject of the chapel address by Di. Henry H. Tweedy, professor of practical theology at Yale Univer sity Divinity school, in Schwab audi torium at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. Dr. Tweedy, who will address a Penn State chapel audience for the tenth time, was graduated from Yale University in 1891. He received his master's degree from the same insti tution in 1909. Later the chapel speaker studied at Union Theological seminary in Rochester, N. Y., and the University of Berlin. In 1921, Dr. Tweedy was granted n elector's degree by Lebanon Valley College' Ordained into the ministry in 1898, the sp - eaker has since acted as pastor of Plymouth church in Utica, N. Y., and South church, Bridgeport, Conn. He has occupied his present position at Yale Univer sity since 1909., Dr Tweedy is the joint author of "Religion and the War," "Training the Devotional Life," ".The King's Highway Series," and "Moral and Re ligious Training in the School and Home" _ !A -- N rttit, r (f.(4.1/ Stoddart Explains Grading In L. A., Chemistry Schools Dean Attributes Low Average Marks to Large Number of Underclassmen Taking Special Required Courses Because the Libels' Arts and Chemistry and Physics schools are "weeding-out" schools, they give the lowest average grades among the schools, Dr. Charles W. Stoddart, Lib eral Arts dean, explained,in comment ing on the comparisons pnnted in the last issue of the COLLEGIAN. These two schools spend more than half their teaching time with stu ! dents outside their curricula, the Dean said. Practically every freshman in the College must take one or more courses in these schools and this re quirement forces the average grades in such courses down, he pointed out The average grade given in the Chemistry and Physics school as shown in a compilation made last week by Registrar William S Hoff man was .88, with Liberal Arts next lowest at 115. Contrary to the way it was reported, Mineral Industries had an average of 139, while Physical Education had 2 04. • Blames Underclassmen "It is right that these two schools, Liberal Arts with Chemistry and Physics, should have the lowest aver ages because it has been assigned to them to serve as eliminators of poor students in the freshman and sopho more classes," Dr Stoddart said. "And these first two classes are the ones that hold the biggest percentage of flunking and low mark students." Marks would be considerably higher for the two schools if the averages of the juniors and seniors enrolled in them were tabulated separately, Dean Stoddart said He pointed out that twenty-three percent of both the jun ior and senior classes of the Liberal Arts school had an average of 2 or more for the past semester This would indicate that the, IoW average was due to low grades given in: the first two years and to students ,clut suld She school. . r.

Located in the Foster-Holmes park beyond the west end of Fairmount avenue, the pool would be open to the public for a small fee. A concrete pool measuring fifty by 125 feet, a large brick bath house, a wading pool, and special apparatus for sterilization and recirculation of the water are in cluded in the plans suggested by the association. Debenture bonds Issued for a term of fifteen years and floated through out the town by local banks are pro posed as the method of financing the venture. The pool will become borough prop erty when the indebtedness is paid off, the prospectus said The project is arranged as part of the playground and recreation facilities of the borough.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1932 composition in the Liberal Arts school gave out an average grade of less than 1. Dr. Stoddart pointed out that these departments carry the largest percentage of underclassmen and of students from other schools and so have the lowest averages. In the Chemistry and Physics school more than sixty-two percent of the student course hours are taken up by students from other schools, while the some condition exists in the Liberal Arts school for fifty-nine per cent of the student-course time, Dr. Sioddart said. On the other hand, he pointed out that Engineering, Edu cation, and Agiiculture schools car ried only twenty-one, twenty-one, and nineteen percent respectively of stu dents from other schools.
