Clarence Beck and
Other Athletes Are
Returning to State

State College, Pa, Jan. 17.-De-
spite the war changes of the last
year, Pennsylvania State has made a
satisfactory showing in colleg sports.
The foot ball elevn DEBATED Lehigh,
lost to Pittsburghs and Rutgers, and
tied the Wissahickon Barracks team.
AS State did not have a single vet
eran player in the squad, the de-
feats suffered at the hands of Pitt
and the Jerseymen, both with eight
regulars of last year in their ranks,
were not unexpected.
Penn State will not lack for ma
terial for it's eleven next fall, in spite
of the fact that Frank Unger, cap
tain of this years team, will be grad
uRted in June. He is the only player
expected to leave. and to make up
for his loss the Blue and White is
counting upon the return of a dozen
or more former players from the
service.
Lieutenant Bob Higgins is coming
fack from France. Cuvbage, O'Don-
nell. Clarence Beck and Jones are
due shortly from Italy, and Way,
Bentz. Smell and Gehring and Brown
will leave training camps in time to
enter college when the next academ-
ic term opens. January 27. Lieuten-
ant Harry Robb and excaptain Lar
ry Conover also will re-enter college
and don their moleslins next season.
The material that will be available
for Hugo Bezdek next Autumn
should make 1T possible for him to
continue the development of the
sport at State College on the same
high pane that existed hero before
he came.

tinue throughout the week. Be-
cause of the loss of five weeks occa-
stoned by the epidemic, it has been

cused from taking the midyears, but
according to the new ruling all stu
dents will be examined.

Some Fun
President McQuade is forty
four degree fan; worst ever. Year
after year he has timed his Vaca-
tion so as to be able TO accompany
the Giants to the Southland on their
training trips, and there is no more
familiar figure on Main street of
Marlin, Tex, than this same New
York magistrate, garbed not in the
judicial ermine, but in regulation
baseball togs.
The Judge sets out on the dia-
mond and plays ball, too. and the
stranger naturally would look upon
him as a member of the huge squad
John J. was wont to have in tow
before the war. The judge also was
frequently called upon to umpire the
ella ashes between the regulars and the
cubs, but this job never seemed to
appeal TO him. He would rather
get in the game himself, and he
Just hated to make a decision that
might offend an aspiring youngster
who was dreaming of Coogan's Cliff
and what a record he was going to
make under its shadows.
Magistrate McQuade will not sever
his connection with the city bench
because he has taken part interest
in the New York Baseball Club.

geese were annoying the farmers to
the extent that they would be will
