State Vol. V, No 3 This Year's Entertainment Course A rare opportunity will be afford ed this year to hear five entertain- ments, each one of which will equal any of its kind given in recent years. The Christian Association, under whose auspices the course is given, has decided to try a new plan this year, which should prove most suc cessful. Heretofore the price of sea son tickets with reserved seats has been $1.75, or without the reserved seats, $1.25. This year the price has been reduced to $l.OO, a figure which should induce every student to buy a course ticket. The ticket may be reserved for twenty-five cents extra. It will be possible to sell the tickets at this price only on condition that 900 season tickets ate sold. In previous years only a comparatively small number of these tickets have been sold, most of the sales being the individual tickets for each lec ture. This year the usual prices of 35 and 50 cents will be charged for individual entertainments. It can theretore be seen that the price for the course is practically the same as for two individual entertainments. The first entertainment will be given on October 24, when Karl Germain, the Magician, presents a new series of illusions and tricks in magic. He will be supported by a company of four persons, all highly recommended by the press. On November 21 Schildkret's Hungarian Orchestra gives a con cert. This organization has a suc cessful record, among their engage ments being a concert for Prince Henry while he was on his tour through this country, and the wed ding of Alice Roosevelt. Coll STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBER 8, 1908 Leland Powers, who will be here on Decembei 11, gave one of the best entertainments of the 1907 course The Dunbars, who come on February 13, are the famous bell ringers who proved so popular two years ago. This concert alone is worth two thirds of the price of the season ticket. Strickland W. Gillilan appears on March 5 with an evening's enjoy ment of original stories, poems and monologues. As a whole. the com se appears to be the best that has ever been at tempted at State, and as it costs nearly two hundred dollars more than any of previous years, the quality should be unquestioned. A season ticket will be by far the most satistactory, and in the end the most economical. The Indian Game Although the white and blue lost its first big game of the season last Saturday at Wilkes faire our eleven was neither humbled or disgraced, and the four hundred students wno went on Manager Postlethwaite's special train saw one of the most spectacular contests ever played by a Penn State team, and enjoyed Wilkes Barie's hospitality to the limit Those who remained at home go the returns over a special wire and this arrangement oas almost as good as being on the scene of action, Only through Thorpe's accurate place kicking did the Redskins win the game, for they could not cross our goal line. Once toward the end of the second half they brought the ball to State's three yard line but could not move it an inch farther. It was the old State spirit working at egian. its best, and every State student, as weal as the 10 000 spectators, rose to applaud captain McC.leary's men as the oval went to State, and Ballou punted out of danger. Weaver made the only touchdown of the game when our men went through the Indians' line like a whirlwind on an attempted punt. blocked the kick,and Weaver picked up the oval and ran 25 yards over the goal line. The play was a fine one and the score looked big at the time. Vorhis missed the goal. Ballou's excellent punting was de pended upon by Coach Fennell more than rushing the ball. The choice was a wise one for the Redmen made almost innumerable fumbles of punts, but luckily recovered most of them. Vorhis also did some good Ricking. Hard, sure tackling was done by McClery, Hirshman, Smith and Cyphers, The big guard was always in evidence and played all around his opponents, Afraid-of a-Bear and Aiken. The first Indian score came short ly after State's touchdown in the first half which closed 5 to 4 against the Indians. The other two were made in the first fifteen minutes of the second half and Thorpe failed in two toward the end of the game. A most varied style of play, with fake kicks, long end runs, forward passes ana on-side kicks, was used by the Indians, who gained con secutively on these plays until it looked dangerous for a touchdown for the Carlisle eleven, when the in experienced State line held like a wall. It was great to watch the players "tighten up." and Thorpe had to resort to kicking from place ment. Price Five Cents
