THURSDAY, NOV. 26, 1908
Owing to the fact that so many
items came in late that could not
be omitted, it has been deemed
advisable to leave out the editorial
and the calendar this week.
An Appreciation.
The following letter has been re
ceived by President Sparks from
General Wiley, who inspected the
cadet regiment on Pennsylvania Day.
"In the short time which I had
the pleasure of being at your most
excellent college I enjoyed myself
to the limit, and regret that I did
not have more time to look over
your institution.
"This was my first visit and I was
so thoroughly surprised at the ex
tent and magnitude and excellence
of your place that I am from this on
proud of The Pennsylvania State
College.
"I trust you will overlook the
unceremonious and hasty manner in
which I departed without paying the
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
respects due to you.
"Colonel Jefferies and myself are
greatly indebted to Captain and Mrs.
Hay for the warmth of their hos
pitality."
Week of Prayer.
It has been decided to • change
the observance of the Week of
Prayer from the second week in
January to the week beginning
December 7th. In order to give
special interest to exercises of the
week, an invitation has been ex
tended to the Rev. J. W. Smith, of
Warren, Pennsylvania, to spend the
week at the college and hold exer
cises each evening at 6:15 in the
Old Chapel. Dr. Smith will be re
membered as having preached a
most acceptable sermon for us on
October 11 of this year and his con
sent to return for the Week of Prayer
will be be good news to the entire
student body. He will be the guest
of Professor Foster 'while here.
Further announcement of the ser
vices will be made later.
The Interclass Game
Last Friday's clash between the
Sophomores and Freshmen abound
ed in clean tackling, good punting,
spectacular individual work, and
hard, fast football the whole way
through. The barring of varsity
men did not seem to injure the game
in the least.
The freshmen had the better of
the argument and the sophomores
must rest satisfied in preventing a
score by the green capped 1912
men. It must be acknowledged that
the new team in its first interclass
struggle was particularly fortunate
in recovering fumb:es, yet the fresh
man line appeared to be the stronger
and with the wonderful defensive
work of Harlow and the punting and
sprints of Doster, it is certain that
1912 has good reason to congratu
late its sturdy eleven.
Workman punted well during the
second half and Estep, Lynch,
Forsythe and - Wheeler also made
good plays for the second year
eleven. During the last half of the
game Dos ter made two attempts at
field goals; one was blocked and the
other failed by several yards. The
pigskin was generally in sophomore
territory. The freshman ends,
James, Du Barry and Yost were al
ways down quickly on punts and not
only their tackling, but it seemed
every player's tackling, was sure.
Henwood and Harlow repeatedly
broke through and brought down
the runner for no gain. The sopho
more backfield was probably the
stronger but the freshmen possessed
a wonderfully strong line.

House Dances.
The Pennsylvania Day festivities
started on Thursday night. with
dances in the several fraternity
houses. There were parties at the
following houses: Phi Gamma Delta,
Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Sigma,
Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma,. 'Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, Phi Sigma Kappa,
Theta Xi, University Club, and Theta
Psi. The Phi Delta Thetas did not
hold a house party because' nearly
the entire chapter was in Pittsburg
attending a fraternity convention.
Y. M. C. A. Entertainment.
The concert Saturday night by
Schildkret's Hungarian Orchestra
was very good. The program was
well selected; and if it seemed a lit
tle long to some, that probably was
due to th 6 fact that nearly every
body in the audience was rather
tired. The music was certainly of a
very high order.
