Pittsburg Alumni Smoker.
At the University Club on the
evening preceding the Thanksgiving
Day game in Pittsburg, our alumni
there tendered a rousing smoker to
the team and to the undergraduates
who had come on to attend the
game. As the varsity squad had
stopped over at Greensburg with
Director Golden, they could not en
joy this hospitality extended in their
honor by the Pittsburg alumni; but
the boys at Greensburg evidently
appreciated the courtesy extended
them, judging by their magnificent
playing the next day against Pitt.
At the smoker, amid all the jollity
and good fellowship among the one
hundred and twenty alumni and fifty
five undergrads who attended, there
seemed a strong undercurrent of
feeling that Captain McCleary's
men were going to display real
"State" form against Pitt. And how
well this confidence was upheld by
our varsity is now a matter of

history. With Captain McCleary,
Ballou, -Weaver, and McClellan all
out of the game, and an eleven
averaging many years younger and
many pounds lighter • than
Pitt's, State's alumni went wild over
the grand showing made. The Uni
versity of Pittsburg's partisans can
not yet understand how their eleven
was completely swept off their feet,
but every State alumnus and under
grad knows—it was the good old
Penn State spirit that sent our light
crippled team into that struggle with
such a dash and determination, that
before Pitt knew what had hap
pened. acting captain Larry Vorhis
and every other man in our line-up
had clinched the victory. It was
only then, after our light eleven had
worn itself out .by continued offen
sive tactics, that Pitt got an oppor
tunity to show a flash of strength.
But it was a great victory, a victory
best of all, of State spirit, and the
Pittsburg alumni headed by "Pud"

Stevenson are only too glad to get
up smokers every other month ofi
the year if, by so doing, encourage
ment may be lent to the turning out
of such typical State teams as that
captained by "Bull" McCleary.
The alumni hope that a larger dele

pany the team next fail, and also,.
wish to thank the cadet band and,
the orchestra for the splendid music
furnished at the smoker.
