peaceful and inviting after the close

Yes; he was one of those who
nelped Dorothy to destroy the
Wicked Witch of the West, and the
Wlnkies were so grateful that they
invited him to become their ruler
Just as the people of the Emerald
city invited the Scarecrow to rule
them"
Dear me"' said Jack. I'm get
ting confused with all this history.
Who is the Scarecrow?'
Another friend of Dorothy's," re-
piled Tip.
And who is Dorothy?"
She was a girl that came here
from Kansas a place in the big, out
side world. She got blown to the
Land of OF by a cyclone, and while
she was here the Scarecrow and the
I'm Woodman accompanied her on
her travels"
And where is she now? ?" inquired
the Pumpkinhead?"
"Glinda the Good, who rules the
Quadlings. sent her home again."
said the boy

Scarecrow?"

aid City"

by wonderful Wizard" objected
Jack. seeming more and more con-
fused.
We'll so I did. Now, pav atten-
ton and I'll explain it," said Tin,
speaking slowly and looking the
Pumpkinhead squarely in the eve.
Dorothy went to the Emerald CITY
to ask the Wizard to send her back
to Kansas: and the Scarecrow and
the Tin Woodman went with her.
But the Wizard couldn't send her
back. because he wasn't so much
of n Wizard as he might have been.
And then they got angry at the
Wizard, and threatened to expose
him; so the Wizard made a big ball
loon and escaped in it, and no one
has ever seen him since"
Now, that is very interesting his
tory" said Jack. well pleased land
understand it perfectly-all but
the explanation"
I'm CAD You do" responded Tip.
After the Wizard was gone, the
neople of the Emerald City made
His Majesty the Scarecrow, their
King; and I have heard that he be-
came a very popular ruler
Are we going to see this queer
King?" asked Jack, with interest.

the boy. "unless. you have something
better to do
ooh. no, dear father" said the
Pumpkinhead. "I am quite willing
to go wherever you please"

joints will soon wear out. Suddenly

not go very fast, but they walked
steadily; and by the time the moon
sank away and the sun peeped over
the hills they had travelled so great
distance that the boy had no rea-
son to fear pursuit from the old
witch. Moreover he had turned first
into one path and then into another,
SO that should anyone follow them
1t would prove very difficult to guess
which way they had gone or where
to seek them.
Fairly satisfied that he had es-
caped-for a time, at least-being
turned into marble statue, the boy

himself upon rock by the roadside

SPLENDID SPORT
SCHEDULE FOR
STATE COLLEGE
Coach Bezdek Will Have Va
, riety of Material For
Z Athletics

State College, Pa, Jan. 4.-Despite
the war changes of the last year,
Pennsylvania State has made q salts
factory showing in college sports.
The football eleven defeated Lehigh,
lost to Pittsburgh and Rutgers, and
tied the Wissahickon Barracks team.
AS State did not have a single vet
eran player in the squad the defeats
suffered at the hands of'Pitt and the
4 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
uated 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 dozen
or more former players from the
service.
Lieutenant Bob Higgins is coming
back from France. Cubbage, O'Don-
| nell, Beck and Jones are due shortly
from Italy, and Way. Bentz, Smell,
Gehring and Brown will leave train
ing camps in time to enter college
when the next academic term opens,
January 81. Lieutenant Harry Robb
and ex-Captain Larry Conover also
will re-enter college ana don thelr
moleskins next season.
The material that will be available
for Hugo BeZdek next autumn should
make it possible for him to continue
the development of the sport at State
College on the same high plane that
existed here before he came. AS the
situation is at present the regulars
of the 1918 team who will be back
next season are Grimes, left end;
Hayes and Farley, left tackle. Logue,
left guard. Mackenzie, center; L. w.
Brown, right guard; Henry, right
tackle; G.. w. Brown, right end; VIII
liams, quarterback; Lumberg, LETT
halfback; and Millinger and Knabb,
right halfbacks.
Wrestling should show a great de-
velopment during the remaining
months of the year, and as that sport
is an admirable builder of football
linemen, it will aid Bezdek next fall.
Coach Howard Yerger, who assisted
the football team, will direct the
work of the intercollegiate mat
champions. He has a big squad al
ready entered on the lists, and he
looks for Hayes, the varsity left
tackle in the Pittsburgh game, to de-
velop into a first-class heavyweight
grappler.
No plans have been formulated for
track activities, nor have the work
ing arrangements for baseball been
made, but alumni are interested in
the subject and an announcement
may be made in the near future. 1t is
probable that some one other than
Bezdek will coach the nine, for he
has announced that he will leave
here about April to handle his ma
jor league baseball club.
The results of the S. A. T. c., as in
most other institutions, has helped
athletics greatly. States system of
mass athletics doubtless will be con-
tinued throughout the college year,
although no official announcement
has come from the authorities. While
the student-soldiers were under the
military regime there was no trouble
in inforcing the compulsory partici-
patton in athletics.
