Freshmen Will,Meet
In Sports Programs
Varied Games Planned
For Recreational
Period Today
Freshmen will open Penn State's
intramural athletics for this year when
they will gather at Recreation Hall
and College athletic fields at 4 o'clock
this afternoon to participate in a var
ied sports program.
Tournaments in tennis, golf, and
horseshoes will be organized among,
the •new students interested in these
sports, while other groups will form
teams to play volleyball, soccer, speed
ball, touch football, and mushball, ac
cording t o o Director Hugo Bezdek of
the School of Physical Education and
Athletics.
Equipment Furnished
Instructors and coaches will be pres
ent with alt equipment for the var
ious activities, but freshmen will be
expected to Weanclothing suitable for
participation in the sports, which will
be continued tomorrow, Monday and
Tuesday at the same hour.
One of the new features of the phy
sical education program this year will
be the filling out of history cards by
the freshmen to enable coaches to de
termine the sports in which thby are
best fitted to participate. Some data
as to the experience of new students
.in high school athletics has been ob
tained through space provided on a
registration form previously used, but
the new system will provide much
more comprehensive information, Di
rector Dudek said.
May Choose Sport
As, soon as physical education
classes are organized, students will
be given a chance to choose a sport.
"The chances are' that all the sports
activities of Freshman Week will be
continued as the regular work," the
director declared.
Instead of being examined at, the
close of the semester by another ser
ies of tests, the student will be graded
by his instructor according to his par
ticipation in the sport he has chosen,
according to Director Dezdek. The
game will be the basis of the new
system of classification, he said. •

continuing it merely as an under

are placed in a government home."

contests are under the supervision of
the government and the leading in

One of the most striking features
of a typical Russian city is cleanli
ness, according to Prof. Banner. Ile
added that not only the streets 'and
building entrances were immaculately
clean, but that the parks in all the
larger cities were constantly kept, in
beautiful condition.
In describing his trip up the Volga
river, Professor Banner said that "it
was'erowded with boats that excel in
beauty many of those to be seen on
American rivers." In addition, he
said that the river itself and the sur
rounding country were beautiful.

That freshmen should cooperate in
enforcing the code by insisting ..that
