Our Next Foot Ball Coach
It is by no means too early to be
thinking over State’s foot ball coach
for next fall. Manager S. M.
Thompson has been ieceiving nu
merous letters from foot ball
coaches, many of considerable
prominence, who desire to take
charge of State’s gridiron squad next
September with confidence in turn
ing out a winning eleven. The first
idea in the mind of every loyal
undergraduate here is that ‘ ‘Tommy”
Fennell shall be engaged once moie
if at ail possible, for a man who
possesses such wide and varied grid
iron knowledge as “Tommy”
Fennell, along with a true loyalty to
Old State and splendid qualities of
leadership, cannot well be found the
country over. We need “Tommy”
in our business here, that’s a cer
tainty, and every possible effort
should be put forth to have him
again take his vacation here on
Beaver Field next fall, and imbue
State’s gridiron sons with that same
manly, gritty spirit which helped to
give State’s ’O5 eleven one of the
most successful seasons our college
has ever seen. This recent clipping
from the Elmira Telegram shows
what manner of man our “Tommy”
Fennell is: - “Attorney Thomas F.
Fennell holds the distinction of be
ing the first office-holder .'n
Chemung county who ever petitioned
a governing body to reduce his
salary. Yesterday he was success
ful in getting the Board of Supervis
ors to cut his salary for the past year
from $5OO to $3OO, and was retained
for the ensuing year. It was an act
characteristic of the prominent
young attorney and famous foot
ball coach. He had kept an
itemized account of the work he had
STATE COLLEGE, PA., MARCH 1, 1906,
performed for the county during the
year and found that his work was
worth only $3OO. Therefore he
was not morally entitled to the other
$2OO, although he could have ob
tained it simply by keeping quiet
and accepting his check. This is
about the most striking example of
reform that has ever been displayed
in this city.” Those who know
“Tommy” best here at "State” un
derstand just how characteristic of
the man such an act as this is, and
his popularity here is easily account
ed for. Under the instruction of
such a man State’s foot ball men
learn not only the principles of the
gridiron sport, but something in
finitely higher and moie enduring.
Junior Civil “Feed.”
On Monday evening the Civil
section of the class of 1907 enjoyed
a chicken and waffle supper at Mc-
Allister Hall. The event was to
celebrate the end of re-exam time
and all were in a merry mood.
The section entertained as guests,
Professors Foss, Walker, Shattuck
and Lawrence of the Civil Engineer
ing department.
At the close of the supper, cigars
were lighted and toasts were re
sponded to by several members of
the section. D. G. Gift, who acted
as toast master also called upon the
guests, and they responded in a very
happy manner. Songs were in
dulged in and the evening was
brought to a close by all rising and
joining in a rousing verse of “Come,
Brothers Raise the Song.”

The Reserves basket ball five,
under Captain Dubarry, sustained
their clean record of victories and
also their reputation for exciting
games, here in the Armory last
Thursday evening. The Dickinson
Seminary team were our visitors and
they played splendid basket ball all
the way, and were only bested by
State’s men in the last five minutes
of play. The first half ended 9 to
9 with both fives displaying equal
ability, and both teams were cheeied
as they came on the floor for the
second period.
The Seminary boys opened up
with a rush and Hickok at center
tossed in two nice ones putting the
Williamsport five in the lead. But
soon afterward State got the “pass
ing” game started and forged ahead
amid excitement, Waha and Ross
shooting well and Dubarry tossing
foul goals with accuracy. For
Seminary their entire five played a
fast, clean game, Artley and Hickok
doing especial well. It was an en
joyable contest and made the fourth
straight victory for the Reserves.
