FOOTBALL NEWS'
With a Large Squad of Promising
Material States Prospects, Bright
for a Busy and Successful Seasoh.
On Tuesday Jack Hollenback's
proteges will have their first tryout
of real football against the Harris
burg Tigers on new Beaver field..
The proposed game with Lehigh
could not be arranged so that man
ager Cuthbert secured the Capita
city„eleven rather then leave his
squad idle. The contest should
prove-sufficient preparation„for the
Carnegie Tech game on October Bth
as the Pittsburgers will hardly
ptove' a match for captain Gray's
beefy squad, from all indications.
.Villanova, Bucknell and the Sterling
A. C. of Pittsburg will furnish
State's other home, attractions this
fall, while the Penn and. Pitt en
counters, on , foreign , fields of
course be the majoicOnflicts. Such
a schedule including only five col
lege gaffies gi'vts the'Blue and White
less encounters with college, elevens
then it has had in' any year since
189.3 1 ,w1ien five of the seven games
were with college teams.
- Cornell, after writing to manager
CUthbert. that it could accommodate
Penn State with October 15 at
Ithaca, sucklenliAVegraphed last
week tb,t the struggle would be too
hard Jor early in the season, Since 1
.the local ,gridironists would have
had even less' preparation In the
way of good preliminary games
than the Cornellians, the, decision
was received in anything but
,a
phocir..4.l:t „humor here.. Just such
fortune as this has greeted our hard
working manager 'this" Year, , His
games with Princeton, Navy, Yale,
Wisconsin and Lehigh' have gone
by the boards through mixups in
the schedule, faculty taboo or var
ious other things, The, proposed
schedule went the rounds of State's
several alumni athletic committees
before it came to manager Cuth
bert's hands, when it was really too
late to make out a suitable card, as
indicated by his ill fortune in se
curing desirable games for our
eleven,, which ranked as one' of the
first ten in the country last fall.
Notwithstanding that the ,sched
ule is not so attractive as At might
be, the candidates have been work
ing with a will and the squad kiss
reached in nuMbers the high water
mark of . last year. About 'sixty
names are on the book' of the as
sistant managers at present and
, there' is a pretty fight on for all posi
tions.
Burly Watson at center; , cap
tain Alex Gray and Pete John
son at the guards; Weaver and
Harlow at the tackles; Very, Piollet
and Rogers at the ends; and
Mauthe, Engle and Barrett in the
backfield; are members of the 1909
varsity squad who now constitute
"Training Table No, 1," Eddie
Brown, the little end from Wilkes
barre, has disappointed the football
men here because he did not return
to college; he would surely have again
made his position on one of the
two pairs of varsity ends, and his
absence looks big when added to
the names of Big Dick Smith, Dutch
'Herm anti,Lec Doster,Joe Mosserand
Arnold, all of ,whom were eligble
this fall but did not enter ' school for
this . semester. Above all, the ab
sence of the . "Big Three" which
graduated—Larry Vorhis, Bull Mc-
Cleary and Heff Hirshman has pro
duced a hole that is well nigh imp
possible to fill.
Fritz, Barrett 'has , been showing
exceptional form in punting, drop
kicking and making forward passes
this fall' and he is. expected to, win,'
renown all over the college world
through his work. Dad Engle and
Lester Mauthe are both bigger and
faster than ever this fall and should
prove brilliant backfield men. At
quarterback, Barron of Philadelphia
Central H, S., Eckert of Columbia
H. S. and Miller, of Harrisburg H.
S, are new candidates whose ability
is above the ordinary.
Jack Hollenback figures that he
should 'have three 'or four other
strong, fast ends to aid Very and
Piollet—a pair whose brilliant work
was recognized all over the college
World last fall. Rogers 'l3 of
Johnstown H,. Sy.should have little
trouble in making a position as al
ternate end, while Atchibald.l4 of
the New York H. ,S. of Commerce,
Huck Berry 'l2 ' of Philadelphia
Central , Normal, Hess ::Aft., of
Bloomsburg Normal, Nagle 'l4 of
Ridgvilay H. S., Quirk 'l4 of Oil
City H. S., Young 'l4 of Brooklyn,
and Wilson 'l4 of Bellefonte Acad
emy-are other,stror4 candidates for
the wing positions.,
Of the, likely looking' youngsters
who are Working for the guard and
tackle positions are , Belboutl4, laSt'
years captain
, at' Pittsh(urg H. S.,
who has made an excellent impres
sion in the scrimmages, thus far, the
Vogal brothers (both 'l4) of
very Rock Normal, who are two of
the, beefiest men on the squad; Jim
Barrett 'l3, of -the , University
School; Clark 'l4 a . E.st Liberty
Academy; Hall 'll of 'Erie H. S.;
Keller 'll of Linden Hall; Kirk
patrick of Orange, New Jersey;
Cy
, Riddle' of Slippery Rock
Norznal., At Center, Hansen 'l2 of
'Philadelphia Central Normal and
Rhoads 'll of Lebanon H. S. have
been doing well, Mc,yeen 'l4 of
Broad Alpin (N. Y.) H. S., 'Mc-
Cleary 'l4 of Germantown Academy
and Salisburg'l4 l of Hamburg (N.
Y.) H. S. are' 'promiing candidates
for the backfield. , _ ,
A. C. "Pud" Reed '92 returned to
college last week t0,.100k Qvcr ,the
prospects' for Pop Golden's war
riors. He captained the eleven here
in 1892 which won six out of seven
games and was scored on only by
Penn, and - since that time he has
seldom missed returning to see the
Blue and White gridironists for one
season. The Pittsburger was well
pleased with the outlook here ,and
left assured that our team will be a
highly creditable one this fall.
Mother Dunn 'OB, All-American
center in 'O7, spent as Much time
as possible with . our, football men_
before returning _ to the University
of Pennsylvania a few days ago.
Woodward. a guard on the 'O5 and
'O6 elevens here, was also here for
several days tolook over our foot
ball prospects. Then the genial
Henny Scholl 'Ol arrived last Satur
day to assist Dr. Hollenback in
coaching for the greater part of _the
remainder of the season. Scholl
was a great guard on fo)ir of our
old State teams and his help is
fully appreciated by the student
body,
Above all we have Dr. J. C. Hol
lenback who wgn renown for him
self during three - years' of varsity
service on Penn's line. Last year
Hollenback coached a successful
team at Franklin, and Marshall and
comes here with the record of be
ing a capable and ingenious coach.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR
Very Favorable Comments Made on
the. Military, Work in This In-
stitution.°
Captain P. H. Harris, who in
spected the College regiment last
May, gives a fair yet complimentary
report on the condition of the Mil
itary department of the college.
His instructions were to .. take as a
standard "perfection"!anil to report
anything which fell sh4rt of that
standard. To ,the sebretary of war
he reported that the faculty attach
es a "considerable" .4iefiree of im
portance to the military.' Work.; and
that the majority of die . students
were zealous in the perf6rmance of
their military duties: iiis,,general,
impression was that they were "in
telligent, neat and 01;16-mannered
young men."
Under "general ' , remarks!' he
made a more , Lengthy, rbPP,rt than
most of the inspectors make. He
says:"l was courteOusiir received
by President ;,Edwin, grle Sparks
and afforded every facility for mak
ing the inspection,
students are required to take
two years of military instructions,
but students taking the special
'cnutSes '(2 years) are ex,empte,d
from the theoretical work in the mil
itary department. The cadet com
missioned officers are appointed
frOin 'members - of 'the senior and
junior classes.
, "Of 1285 male students now in
,
attendence at , . the ,college, 657 or
,51% are enrolled in the, military de
partment, ::,te.Ftudeatc.upt..!..ipg.... aver
fifteen years
,of age. 535 students
(Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores
who have completed' two 'years of
drill) are exempted from military
initiucti§ris, , 'and 93 belonging ,to
classes that are, re,quiied to take
such instructions have been, excus
ed during the year. - The latter in
dude 51 who were excused on ac
count of athletics; 25 on account 'of
physical disability; 5 , living out of
town,,s Quakers, 4 on account of
age and experience and 3 foreigners.
"Five hours per week are devot
ed to practical 'military 'instruction
during the fall and spring terms, no
practical instructions being conduct
ed during the winter term. Ohe
hour per week is devoted to the
oretical military instructions during
the first' semester of the Freshman
year.
"The military organization ,
con
sists of a regiment of band and two
battalions of four companies each.
The regiment' Vas formed for in
spection at 9a. m., May 24, 1910,
and the military exercises bf the
day,-which included regimental re
view and inspection, regimental drill
in close order, and battalion and
company drills in close and extend
ed order, were concluded at , bl:4s
a. m.
"The military exercises also in
cluded a regimental 'parade, held
about 4.30 p. m., May 23.
"638 students were present at in
spection and 19, absent, 12 of the
latter being sick, and 7 absent with
leave.
"All ceremonies were very well
executed. The step and alignment
~
at parade and review were very
good, and for some companies ex- ,
cellent. With few exceptions the
cadets were-steady in ranks and at
tentive, considerable zeal being,dis
played. The equipment were in
excellent condition, and the rifles,
very good, though two rifles were
noted with dirty bores.
!MECUM
"gany of the uniformk did not
fjt especially at the cNlar, and
some uniforms showed considerable I
wear. Quite a number of trousers
Were too•short.,ancl , many were not
pressed. Several cadets were not
cleanly shaven. Very few of the
shoes were . polished and some were
not clean. One pair of russet shoes
were noted. I.los of the cadets
are familiar w . the nomenclature
of the rifle.
"The r irpental, 3l drill,, in close
order was fairly good.
"The battalion drills in close
order were good and in extended
order fair
"The company drills in , close
order were very good, and in ex
tended order good. Thi„ manual', of
arms wa.very 'good.
"This s Captain Fry's fire year
as professor of military scienc and
taCtibs. 'He 'is well qualified for
college duty and has the confidence
and respect of the college faculty,
as well as the student body."
VORMS WESLE COAPI '

The popular second-tiakrrian has
played,. thiee
,years of consistent
ball for Penn State up to the time
of his illness during the.latter part
of the, last season: and his aggressiv

Harrisburg and vicinity on Friday
evening, Sept. 30. at 7. p. m. in the

townsmen.
' Paaliball Scrap.
The annual pushball scrap by the
underclassmen will be held on old
Beaver field on Saturday afternoon
just prior to the football game. .
Many new changes in the rules
will probably bring out new features
in connection with the event and
undoubtedly will make amore in
teresting scrap than that witnessed
last year
_,sA__ - __ _
' Note.
• In consideration of the fact that
it was impossible to put out the
regular first, number of the Collegian
last week, 'there will be an issue dur
