The Baseball Out Look
The indoor baseball practice has
now reached an interesting stage.
Within a week or so the final ’Var
sity squad will have to assume some
sort of definite shape, since it is on
ly a month now until State’s nine
will leave on their Southern trip.
Kilmer behind the bat, Captain
Mcllveen and Haverstick in the box,
Mason on third, Cree at short,
Moorhead in right, are six men who
form a strong neucleus for a winning
team; but the vacant spots at first
base, second base, middle field, and
also an extra man for the pitcher’s
box must be filled in with players
of ’Varsity calibre in order to give
the “White and Blue” a winning
combination. One or two weak
spots will surely prove fatal, and
this calamity will surely be averted
if possible by strenuous efforts on
the part of Captain Mcllveen, Di
rector Golden, and Coaches Sebring
and Atherton.
A glance over the promising can
didates is interesting. For first base
Ross, last year’s middle fielder is
showing up strong, with McGee and
Putnam also in the running; while
for the middle garden “Tommy”
Thompson, who played on State’s
’O4 nine, will surely fill the bill.
The second base dilemma looks
more puzzling. John Mahaffey, 'O6,
who played that position on the
Southern trip last year, has been
practicing steadily and doing well ;
while Ryan, 'OB, Leathers, ’OB, and
Newton, ’O7, are also working hard
and conscientiously. Of the Fresh
man candidates, Mullen and Pierce,
both look promising, and will re
ceive a thorough trying-out; and
Yeckley, ’O6, football captain, is

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FEBRUARY 22, 1906,
Band Concert.
It is reported that the college
band contemplates giving a concert
in the near future for the purpose of
raising funds to purchase a saxa
phone. If the fellows turn out and
support this entertainment as they
should, it is probable that the band
will will give a series of free open
air concerts on the campus during
the spring.
Fellows, it should not be necessary
to say that your support is needed
at this coming function. We have a
band that is equal to any college or
ganization of this kind. At present
what little money the band receives
from stags, goes to buy music, there
being no money available for new
instruments. We are sure that the
fellows will realize these things and
turn out in a body when the time
comes
M. E. Society Feed
The Mechanical Engineering So
ciety had a “feed” last Friday night
after the basketball game with
Lebanon Valley. About forty
hungry engineers sat down to the
“festive board” which held a liberal
amount of chickens and waffles.
McAllister Hall was the scene of
activities. Profs. Reber, Ayars.and
Wood were present and each did
his full duty to the edibles. Godard,
'O3, was the guest of the evening,
and after the tables had been cleared,
he enlivened the occasion with piano
playing. Rafter, 'O6, was master
of ceremonies, and called for
“spouts” from all the Profs, present.
At 11.30 the society adjourned for
the evening.

legian.
Last Friday evening in the Col
lege Armory our Varsity basketball
five won an easy victory from the
Lebanon Valley college team, al
though the visitors must be given
credit for playing a hard and nervy
game throughout, their captain,
Maxwell, displaying especially good
form. For State, Yeckley secured
his usual abundant crop of field
goals, while Moorhead did very ac
curate work in the foul throwing,
securing 9 out of 10 chances.
Heaton and Kilmer also shot well.
Hollinger, ’O6, gave the best of
satisfaction as referee and a large
crowd was in attendance.
So far as home games are con
cerned the Varsity basketball season
is now at an end, unless Manager
King succeeds in getting the Carlisle
Indians here for a fare-well contest.
One more basketball trip is sched
uled, beginning March 2nd, and
games will be played with Alle
gheny college, Westminster, Ge
neva, W. U. P., and West Virginia.
Thus far this season Captain Heat
on’s five has won 4 games, and lost
2, which is a good record, and can
be improved upon by good, con
sistent playing on the Western trip.
Here is the score of Friday’s game
