Review of Athletics for 1906. The year 1906 has been a splendid one in athletics for -Old Penn State." With the happy, echoes' of the grand football victory over W.U.P. still ring ing in the ears of all loyal "State" men, the good name of the "White and Blue"!has been upheld with brill iant success this year in basketball, track athletics, and baseball for a grand total in these three branches of sport of 23 victories and only 10 defeats in contests with the foremost college teams of the East. In basketball Captain Heaton and his men won six games out of ten played, and defeated such worthy op ponents as W.U.P., Susquehanna, Wyoming,, Greensburg, etc; losing only to Penn's champ.on five, Lehigh and Southside of Pittsburg, after hard fought games... Throughout the sea son, owing 'to injuries and Faculty ac tion, the basketball team was scarcely ever able to muster its full strength, blit always kept working hard for vic tory and,had a very succcssful season. On the track State's sons have con cluded a great season's work by win ning dual Meets from the Carlisle Indians„ and Dickinson, and losing only to the '.Middies" at Annapolis after a record-breaking meet, which was higher class all around than the Yale—Prince ton meet held- on the same day at New Haven. In the Inter-collegiate Relays at Philadelphia, State's team, coin posed of Captain Arnold, Henry, Kai ser, and Stapler, ran third to Virginia and Lafayette after a terrific race, in which the time .made, 3:28 3-5, was only second to that of the Inter-colle giate championship event. Our-old track rivals,the Indians, were beaten for the first time on their own reservation by a score cf 51 1-2 to 52 1-2; while Dick inson was given the most overwhelming defeat in her track history, the final score standing 86 to 18. Our rivals from Carlisle did not win a single first place in this meet, and State's loyal undergraduates had good reason for re joicing. Efforts were made to sched- THE STATE COLLEGIAN ule dual meets with Lafayette and W. U. P. and although arrangements could not be made this year, it is hoped that these attractions may be added to next season's schedule. There has been something doing in the record-breaking line also, as shown in the Carlisle meet. -Hi" Henry low ered the State•time for the 100 yards to 10 seconds flat; while at Annapolis "Johnny" Kaiser lowered the mark for the half mile to 2 minutes 2 1-5 sec onds; and in the Dickinson meet "Mother" Dunn advanced the distance for the hammer throw to 128 ft. 9 6-10 inches, and Captain Arnold, 'O6, holds the quarter-mile rocord at 51 2-5 seconds. Thus it is seen that during the present season a decided improve ment has been made in all around track-work, and each year State's standard in track athleti6s is becoming higher, For next season V. L. Hen ry, 'O7, has been elected captain of the "White and Blue's" track team, and he will surely prove a popular, magnetic leader, so that the coming prospects on the track are decidedly bright. In basketball, Waha, 'O9, is the captain for next fall; in football Dunn, '08; while the next baseball leader has not as yet been chosen. In baseball the grand record of 13 victories and 5 defeats has been achieved after a - season filled with accidents and discouragements. As but a single game (the Villanova con test) remains to be played on the peerless schedule of Manager Himes, it is interesting to review briefly the work done this season by the Varsity Handicapped at the very start by the loss of five such star players as Ray, Forkum, Moorhead, Yoder, and Brandt, the prospects in March locked only too dismal to every body concerned. Then with an untried team the Southern trip was taken, and such cold, wet, chilly weather encountered as to put the condition of the players back several weeks, instead of irnprov- Watch and Jewelry ' Repairing a Specialty All work done promptly . . . and Guaranteed F.
