tional means of promoting ath
letics at Penn State.
Other schools, including Michi
gan, Michigan State, Illinois, In
diana and lowa bolstered the plan
with ideas of their own. provid
ing much of the information used
in forming the Penn State Varsity
l ’S” Club.
Balthaser and Crafton. along
with seven other leiiermen. be
came the club's "charter mem
bers," and saw their number
increased to 50 per cent of'the
eligible letter winners during
the first semester of operation.
The *'S” Club today boasts a
growing total of members, while
i its percentage level has consis
tently remained at the original
