Inter-Class Meet for Commence=
As Track-Manager Harding has
been unable to secure either Lafay
ette or W. U. P. to come here for
our Commencement track-meet, the
inter-class meet will be held then.
This should prove a very interest
ing affair, although 1907 looks pret
ty sure of a victory. "Hi" Henry,
recently, elected track captain for
next season, has been kept busy
recently, looking after the numerous
entries for the coming meet, and all
the classes seem to be showing a de
cided interest.
—Don't fail to get the Commence
ment issue of the Collegian. Better
than ever ! Place your order now.
STATE COLLEGE, PA., JUNE 7, 1906
Our Annual Victory at Prince.
In a great 1 to 0 game Penn State
once again downed the champion
Princeton team, thus making their
third consecutive triumph over the
Tigers • "Lefty" Mcllveen do
ing the twirling. "Mac" was per
fect master of the situation through
out, and the Nassau batters could
scarcely hit the ball past State's
captain, who had nine assists to his
credit. For Princeton, Doyle be
gan the pitching, but only some
sensational fielding saved him.
Heyniger was then tried, and al
though very effective handed out
several passes to first. Meanwhile,
State had scored a run, which looked
as big as a twenty story building in
that battle. Byram was then sent
into the box to finish the game, and
keep the visitors from any further
scoring.
State's winning run was scored in
the following way : In the fifth in
ning, Mason opened things by getting
a pass to first from Heyniger ; Ross
bunted neatly, and Heyniger got his
feet twisted in attempiing to field the
ball, Mason and Ross getting easily
on the second and first cushions re
spectively. Mahaffey attempted to
bunt, but banged a swift one to
Sides on third, forcing Mason at
that base. Then Conklin fanned at
three fast ones, and on the third
strike Cooney shot the ball to first
to catch Mahaffey napping. Bard,
however, failed to stop this throw,
and while McLean was chasing the
ball in the right garden, Ross dashed
in with that run which will go down
in State's baseball history. Brilliant
fielding kept State's hitting down.
but Thompscn had a hit which the

State 2, Lafayette 1
In the finest game witnessed on
Beaver Field for many seasons,
State's team defeated Lafayette last
Friday afternoon. From the very
start the contest resolved itself into
a pitcher's battle between Haver
stick and Newberry. State's sturdy
little twirler, however, had the bet
ter of the argument, growing strong
er towards the close of the game.
Hits were scarce at all: stages, and
it was oto 0 for three innings. In
the fourth, Captain Hawk's team
opened up at a rapid clip, Snook
began the trouble with a single to
left; Hawk fanned; Peters dropped
a punky fly into right, and Schneider
rolled a safety into the same terri
tory, scoring Snook. Newberry al
so singled, and the bases were filled,
with but one out. Folkinson hit one
to Cree, who shot the ball to Kil
mer, retiring Peters. Then Wack
lined one towards short, but "Bird
ie" gobbled it up, and the fun was
all over for Lafayette, for they se
cured but one hit during the re
mainder of the game.
With a lead of one run the repre
sentatives of the "Maroon and
White" trotted about the field in
confident fashion, but in the sixth
inning State succeeded in tying the
score. Cree drew a pass, went to•
second on Kilmer's neat sacrifice,
and came over the plate on Mcll
veen's rousing swat to middle.
Thompson also bingled, but the run
getting was over for that inning.
Neck and neck the two teams
fought until the ninth inning was
reached, and an extra-inning contest
looked certain. But State's sons
decided otherwise. Captain Mc-
Ilveen stepped to the plate amid a
