The Freshmen Won!
Penn State has seen some good
interclass basket-ball games, but the
one played last Saturday in the Ar
mory is likely to remain long in the
minds of those who witnessed it as
probably the most interesting and
exciting ever played. Like all its
predecessors the recent Soph
omore-Freshman game was filled
with rough, hard playing, but a
bright feature was the work of
referee Crabtree, who saw nearly
all the fouls and "called them".
Forty infractions of the rules were
brought to light; eighteen of
these were called on the freshmen
and twenty-two on the sopho
mores. Captain James of 'l2 took
advantage of this by making six
teen foul goals, which added to
his field goal, virtually won the
game for the first-year five.
The freshmen were always in the
lead during the first half, which
ended 12 to 7in their favor Only
nine field goals were made during the
entire game and these were almost
evenly divided between the two con
testants. In the second half 1912 kept
her lead well on toward the end when
the score was, "Freshmen 20—
Sophomores 14," with less than
five minutes to play. Then the
contingent on the east side of the
Armory had a good opportunity to
make some noise, for Mclntyre
made two foul goals, and both
Amidon and Yeckley caged pretty
ones from the field, making the
score a tie at twenty.
Pandemonium reigned as Armsby
made the field goal which really
clinched the game for the freshmen,
yet the second year students still
shouted lustily and confidently as

they really believed their team would
win, though less than a minute re
mained to play. Several fouls were
called and James accurately shot
two more, bringing his total of
points up to eighteen. Then time
was called and the two teams, win
ner and loser alike, were borne off
the floor.
After the game a joint banquet
was held at McAllister Hall. The
captains, managers, referee, class
presidents and toastmaster McKee
all made appropriate remarks.
While the Sophomores did not at
tempt to conceal their chagrin at
losing to the sturdy wearers of the
green caps,they generously conceded
that the "better team" had won.
Referee Crabtree was given due
credit for his attempt to make the
game as clean as possible. With
little trace of class spirit left, but
with the all prevading brotherly
spirit of Penn State men in strong
evidence, the close of the banquet
made up the final scene of this
year's sophomore Freshman strug
gle, yet that game will be commo%
talk on the campus for weeks to
