FEW VETERANS AT PENN.
STATE
Basket Coach Has Been Forced
to Piece Out Nearly New Five
This Winter.

State College, Pa.-Because of the
great inroads that have been made
upon the Pennsylvania State College
undergraduate body by the war, it has
been necessary to piece 0It almost an
entirely new basketball five here this
year. It's strength is as yet unknown,
for, aside from the Lehigh game, the
flOormen are untried.
Three Of the six best men in the
squad were members of last seasons
freshmen team. They were Wolfe, a
former McKeesport High School star,
who is playing one of the guard po-
sitions; and MulIan and Youig, for
wards. Captain Blakeslee. who has
assumed the additional burden of
coach this season. and Fast and Will
son, guards, were varsity men last
year. &
Wolfe, who gained reputation for
Open-field running and lodging on the
football eleven last fall has shown the
same speed and eluslveneSs on the bas-
ketbau court. In the carly games he
jumped center and it was apparent
he was cut of his position. although
his excellent floorwork indicated
enough ability to clinch a position
somewhere on the team. Captain
Blakeslee has gone back to center and
Wolfe has been moved to guard and

Captain Blakeslee, at center, is
three-year's veteran and one of the

intercollegiate Basketball League.
Prior to this season he has been play
ing on the forward line. There is no
evidence of let-down in his work as
a result of the shift. Biakeslee never
showed TO better advantage than

Tells Why More
Catholics Do Not
Become Officers

Washington, D. C.-Higher educa-
tion among Catholics, as a means Of
helping win the war, was urged by Rt.
Rev. Bishop Shahan at the twenty
ninth annual commencement exercises
of the Catholic University of America,
held last week in Mcmahon Hall.
Bishop Shahan told of the claim made
by Catholics that 35 per cent of the
personnel of the army are Catholics
and so per cent of the navy, but that
an equally high percentage in both
branches of the service does not hold
good in regard to the officers.
Bishop Shahan said: Catholics are
not taking up higher education as they
should, and for that reason the per-
centage of Catholics holding commis-
sions in the service is not as high as
it ought to be-"
Diplomas were awarded as follows:
School of Law, II; School of Philoso-
ply, 20; School of Letters, 9; School
of Sciences, 81, and Catholic Sisters
College, 50.
