"Tommy" Fennell
Continued from page 1
If "Tommy" Fennell could af
ford to devote his whole year to
football instead of only two months'
vacation, there is no doubt that he
would be without a peer. As it is,
State's undergrads and alumni right
fully claim that "Tommy" is the
best there is, not simply because of
his wonderful coaching ability, but
more because of the magnificent
manlinessof the man himself, and
the example he sets to all of State's
students.
The Interclass Football Game
Supported by three hundred cheer
ing classmates, the freshman team
last Saturday pulled off a hard-fought
but brilliant victury, in spite of the
splendid resistance of the outclassed
sophmore eleven and the rooting of
their loyal friends. Both teams
worked smoothly and every inch
was hotly contested. With Vorhis,
McCleary, Maxwell, and Hirshman
in the game for the Freshmen, most
of the Varsity's best plays were
possible, and it was on these
that the game was won. Neither
team was able to gain consistently
through its opponent's line. In
consequence, the first half became
a punting duel which favored the
Freshmen. After exchanging punts
several times, Vorhis tried for a
field goal, but failed. Not long
afterward McCleary made a spectac
ular 40 yard run around left end,
scoring a touchdown for the Fresh
men. He also kicked the goal.
After both sides had lost the ball
on downs, a splendid forward pass
froin Vorhis to Maxwell made a big
gain, and placed the ball in position
for an easy field goal by Vorhis,
making the score 10 to 0. The first
half closed a short time later with
out further score.
The second half was marked by
more aggressive play on the part of
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
the Sophomores, and it ended with
no score for either side and honors
about even. During this half the
Freshmen made large gains by on
side kicks and forward passes. The
latter were especially effective, and
were as well executed as any seen
on Beaver Field this year.
The game was a very interesting
one, and much enthusiasm was
shown by both classes. Not only
was good team work shown by each
side, but much brilliant individual
work was seen. For the Sopho
mores, Yeckley, Skemp, and
Reece played a star game, while
Vorhis, McCleary, Hirshman, Max
well, Ayers and Sloan were much in
evidence on the freshman side.

A Mule. Shoe for Yale.
In speaking of Yale's game with State,
Many reporters were heard to relate
That it was by chance, through some ill fate,
That Yale succeeded in scoring on State.
I'll explain it to you, so that you can see,
I'll make it as plain, as plain can be.—
There was a mule, her name was Maud;
Now this poor mule was loosely shod;
And as she wandered with tail a-wavin',
She entered the town of old New Haven.
Within this town excitement reigned,
Excitement that could not be feigned;
Running in and out of doors
Asking the "I's and wherefore's",
The people fled in wild dismay.
For State had come to town that day.
The sympathies of the mule called Maud,
Whose beauty and grace all the papers applaud,
The sympathies of this generous beast,
Which are sought by all, to say the least,
Were promptly extended to the boys of State,
The sturdy boys from the Nittany college,
Who stand for athletics as well as sound knowl-
edge.
Old Maud went out to the football field,
To encoura ie Penn State, to make Yale yield;
"State! State , Chee ! Chah ! " The boys would
say;
"State! State! Heel Haw!" Old Maud did
bray.
The game, indeed, soon became exciting;
Maud forgot herself and was in for fighting;
In this did Maud very greatly err,
For as a Yale man came down towards her, CJ
Clasping the ball in his strong arm,
Thinking that State's men could do him no
harm,
Maud suddenly turned, and let drive with both
feet;
She missed the Yale man, but hit the ball neat.
The ball that she hit quickly sailed through
the air
On over the goal-posts, and then it dropped
A shout went up from Eli's rooters;
A wave of pennants; a blast from the "tooters;"
The band played "March on Down the Field,"
While the State boys cried, " We'll never
yield."
The ball was picked up just back of the goal,
But in the football there was a large hole,
They pulled back the cover and then brought
A piece of bright iron—lt was a mule-shoe
