A New College Year
September fourteenth marked the
opening of what promises to be a
very prosperous year to State Col
lege. Long before that date new
and old men came pouring in to con
tinue in their pursuit after knowl
edge, and the familiar scenes such
as the arrival of the scared and for
lorn-looking Freshmen, and of the
upper classmen renewing fond ac
quaintances were once more enacted.
Everybody seemed in a good
humor and as one fellow said as
soon as he got off the hack, "well,
Bill, I had a fine time during vaca
tion, but I am glad to be back, ’ ’
each appeared to be satisfied with
his return.
The President in his address at
the first chapel exercises gave some
good wholesome advice to the old
men as well as the new. He also
announced the new course in For
estry which the Trustees have de
cided to install this year. This is to
be a four-year course open to Fresh
men and Sophomores, and while we
know little of the plans for this new
project, let us hope that it will be
up to the high standard of the other
courses.
Since this college year has com
menced so auspiciously, let every
fellow do his best to make it a me
morable one in State’s history.
Football.
The football season was opened
on Beaver Field Saturday with the
Lebanon Valley College eleven.
The visitors played well on the de
fense, while State’s men gave a very
slow exhibition after the first few
minutes of play.

began with a rush, McGee’s low
kick-off being blocked by Kaiser
whose fumble allowed Shaw to fall
on the leather. Then followed a
series of line plunges and a 20 yard
end run by Captain Yeckley. After
Miller, McGee, Kunkle and Yeckley
each hit the line for a few gains, Mc-
Gee hurdled for a touch-down, all
in a minute and a half. Shortly
after this Captain Yeckley retired in
favor of Partridge.
Throughout the contest State’s
back-field was slow in getting off
plays, although Wray, Kunkle, Mc-
Gee and Miller all carried the ball
strongly after they got going. In
the first half the 23 points were
scored, while in the second period
the visitors played excellent ball on
the defense, and kept State from
further scoring. State resorted to a
punting game in the second half,
and almost a new line-up was pre
sented, twenty-one players being
used by Coaches Golden and Scholl,
who are much disappointed at the
showing made. For offside play
and holding State’s men were pen
alized no less than six times thus los
ing much ground. Barr’s interfer
ence-breaking was one of the few
bright spots. The score :

Y. M. C. A. Notes
About two hand red men turned
out to the first Y. M. C. A. meet
ing of the year. In was a “decis
ion” meeting and all new students,
as well as old ones, were urged to
ally themselves with the Association
and help in Christian work.
F. E. Wilber, ’O5, Rutgers Col
lege, has taken the position of Gen
eral Secretary of the college Asso
ciation. Mr. Wflber is a resident
of New Brunswick, N. J. During
his college course he became a mem
ber of the Chi Psi fraternity, was on
the Track, Baseball, Tennis, and
Debating teams, and a member of
the board of the ‘ ‘Targum’ ’ the col
lege weekly.
Former Secretary, J. R. Wood
cock, Princeton, '99, has been at
college for a few days, helping in
the organization of the Association
work at the beginning of the year.
Next Sunday evening there will
be a Bible Study rally at the regular
service. State Secretary, W. J.
Miller, will be present and everyone
is urged to turn out.
A Student Directory,
In previous years when one stu
dent wished to look up another he
had to take a great deal of trouble
before he succeeded. Might not all
this be obviated and fellowship
promoted by the establishment of a
register, containing the name, home
address, college address, and course
of each man in college? One of
these registers in the Main Hall
would be of great use to everybody,
students and visitors and the busi
ness office would be saved a great
deal of work.
