VOLUME 7 NUMBER A
A Tiiiiill CMG SCORE
State Wartiors Easily Triumph
oyer the' Sterling Athletic Club
of Wilkinsburg.
One-hundred-sixty-four points for
the Blue and White against node for
her opponents in the first three grid
iron contests , of the season sounds
large, but such is crtainly • the
present record of captain Gray's
men. By, runnibg up a score of el 5
to o,oyer the Stet - 1111gs of Pittsburg
last ,Satuiday 'our total score thus
far came within two points of the
final mark reached by the best
eleven we ever had—':Larty"
Vorhis's 1909 aggregation, The
truth is that the whole trio of games
played to date have -been but prac- ;
t ce-affairs and now our team will
come m:;)rc ,
,into the college lime
light when Penn is played this Sat
urday: Villandva ol Oct. 29, St
Bonaventure on Nov. 5, Bucknell
12,-and"Pitt on Thanksgiving day:
The '"'sturdy' front" shown by last
Saturday's visitors on New Beaver
field was soon caved in when after
50 'seconds of play "Big Halek"
Gray scored our first
. folichdown.
Barrett had kicked off strongly and
the Sterlings had twice tried- far
gains through, our line when they
were compelled to kick. The wide=
'awake Harry.WeaVer went through
the hne like a flash and blocked the
punt, Gray picked up the pigskin
and scored, without - difficulty.
° Tom" Piollet kicked an easy goal,
after which the score stood—State
,Sterlings 0, and the Students
yelled then;tselVet, hi/arm-00_0N
loyal college band struck up various
sweet - and appropriate refrains;
, That band certainly did add a lot of
interest 6 to an otherwise listless
game. . ,
Undoubtedly/ the 'aggregatipn
fr6m one of Pittsburg's religious,
suburbs would have provedca trifle
harder-had,oui attack been directed
, strict'y between tackle and tackle
since the athletes trom Wilkinsburg
were much .l eavier than our line
men,; As it was, quarterback Miller
.diversified hr.; plays so Much, even
though he 'used b,ut, six or eight
' different formations—that the big
fellows were bewildered and proved
no match for chptiirl' Gray's speedy
warriors. On the other hand the
visitors were slow and their inter
ference, although good ~omePmes,
was never dangerous because'it was
shoved aside before it had a chance
to start' well. McCall tackled
splendidly and his work alone stood
out for the Stedings:
After Giay had scored the first
touchdown, Very, Engle and Bar
rett all made scores before the first
12 minute period had elapsed. It
'ended 22 to ()
Harlow <,ectired a fumble . and.
' 4 ma‘cle our fast points in the second
quSrter, after which the Sterlings
strengthened sum( what on 1112 de
fense. Oui backfield, without the
disabled Mauthe, did not work as
conceitedly as it should have and the
accinate kicking o' Mauthe, both
after touchdowns, and from the field,
was badly missed.
A pretty foiwaicl pass from Mil
ler to Het low gave us our only score
of the th!ld quarter. In the last
period Miller score 1 after a 25 yard
run and Wilson made a nice touch:
down on a forward , pass. 9 Barrett
kicked the goa! Which made the
final score State 45, c terling 0.
Millei and p ollct did wet on end
runs while Da s 55 yard dash
following the nit.th leck-off was the
longest of the game "Dick" Har
low handled himself unusa:lly
at his new position at right end. '
As expected Dexter Very played a
peat game at halfback and there is
no doubt that he will make a bril
liant backfield man; it is only hoped
that his injury of last Saturday will
he entirely well before the Penn
struggle. Riddle worked in good
style at left guard and "Pete John
son played his usual clean cut,
finished game when placed at left
tackle. The game, while not a good
test,of our strength, served to give
the loyal student body even more
confidence that our eleven is a good
one and well worthy of all the suP
port that can be given it.

Sunday Evening Band Conceit.
The initial band concert of the
year brought out a large crowd last
Sunday evening at the Audi=
torlum• If the first performance
can be used to judge
,by, the band
will no doubt halie„. a successful
year both from the standpoint Qf
the persons who desire to hear good
music and of the band members
themselves. Each selection, from
die fiat number on the program to
the last; was,thoioughly enjoyed by
the audience. Mr. P. M. Snavely
who took the place of Mr, L. F.
Meissner as director of the band
proves himself a capable leader for
s ich an biganization.
`I he Atm number on the program

,STATE COLLEGE;',PA.,"OCrowI:Rt 20, 1910,
THE ANNUAL PENN GAME
Our Warriors Bold Are in Need of a
Thousand Loyal Suppoi ters in
Next Saturday's Game at Phila-
delphia
Thus far our football games have
not been of the kind to arouse the
"State Spirit in all its enthusiasm
and intensity, but with the Penn
game but two days "off and the
loyalty. shown to the team at mass
meetings this week; v - e find that
after all Old State has a real foot
ball eleven this year. Prophet
"Andy" Lytle's dope shows that
even though we, have never downed
the Quakers on the gridiron, yet v e
have made more creditable showings
y6r by year until 1900: when the
Sons ofPennsy State invaded Phila-
Clerphia and gave U. of P. the Scare
of its life. When the smoke, blew
away captain Miller's eleven consid-1
ered itself fortunate to have held the
Blue and White to a tiescore, 3 to 3.1
HistOry also shows that in two• of
the three football arguments just
prior to the 1909 , battle, our players
held'the Q'ualterS to a single touch
down in each case. ,Among our
past elevens which stand out prom
inently as having , scored on Penn are
captain Holey's in '93, McCaskey's
in '95, "Henny" Scholl's in 1900,
and "Effervescent" Hewitt's in
r 1901.' We doubt, however, that our
old teams felt in their bones when
they left the foot ,of Old Mount
'Nittany that they would come back :
victorious; This year it is a little
different, if we, are to believethe

the Quakers have had the advantage

this season, and their work has
shown great improvement, yet there
is a comparatively light, speedy, ag
gressive eleven which will change its

one of the sturdiest battles it ever
had. Not an "S" man will be in

"incapacitated but with a splendid
veteran line and a backfield that is
'ambitious, gritty and as speedy as
anything Old Penn has, there is a
keen encounter ahead. More root

ever before---just to show our well

REUNION OF MEMBERS
Of Class of 1910, Who are Located
in the Vicinity of Pittsbuig
Although but a short time-out of j
college, a small section .o fhe class
of 1910 has already had a reunion,'
It happened last Thursday night at.l
the home of . "Bunny" Dunn on
Pacific avenue, Pittsburg, and was,
indeed, a most enjoyable affair. I
"State" alumni have always been
pretty numerous in the Pittsburg
district, but the lost class seems to t '
be better represented than any
other. There were fourteen present!
on this occasion who were all full
of enthusiasm about life in the!
"wide, wide world" but yet who
still had warm place in their hearts
, for Penn State.
,Past experiences
and anecdotes of. the college days
brought out the spirit and the goOd
old college yell and 1910 class yell I
as nothing else could do. Those
present were "Bunny" Dunn, Ralph
E. Disque, ex :10, E. W. Stitt, A.

PENN LOOKS. .
FORMIDABLE
Red, -aud Blue 7 Team • Shows Re
markable Improvement and Will
Give State a Bard Fight.
Quakeitown will be the next
scene-of battle _for a big game and
au eady there is a growing interest
and apprehensive sentiment in many '
Phtladelpbian's minds as to what
Penn State will look like when the
Blue and White team trots on Frank
lin field next Saturday afternoon.
Last year's 3-3, score is not forgot. :
ten and the quality of football that
State played on their late appear
ance, still has a' Promnient place in
the minds of the staunchest Penn
supporteis.,
True, enough Penn has been
humbled once this ,season, when
Ursinus took her into camp but
that' was at the opening of the sea
son
andthe dame was very new to '
all of the big teams.' But, the Quak
ers are going at full , speed now, arid
they will send a strong team on the
'field to combat State's aggregation,
with every intention of taldnuvhat
they believe to be their own.
On the other hand; State has had,,
no test of• her real strength as yet, ,
and with one of the hardest games
on the schedule coming at this tithe
the outcome, , cannot be - readily pre
dicted. One 'thing is certain 'and,
that is, that Penn will have some
thing 'on their hands.that , thiy know
and fully Rpprorinte a' bird pre:- '
`position, and that, la' the Pe,ttg Stitt',
has beer and )
ably always w
,1'
contested' and hard foug4: these
games were and, this year,linir team
goes down as strong ,a'S it ever was.
• What \ C i aptairt Gray Says.
"Our garle., - Wikh F enn next Satur
day will be hard fought at every
point and we are going to hold our
end up. Unfortunately, we have
had, as yet no real test of out
strength,but the team as a whole is
working fairly well.
"We have a veteran line but the ,
backfield is entirely nevV, now that
Mauthe is out, and. it is difficult to
tell- how the new backfield will
work with. so little opportunity to
play together.
"Our chances are good, and we
will go to Philadelphia to win, and
with the present good spirit of the
team, we will give Penn a good run
for the long end of the score."
Everylidlijr Goes to Philadelphia. ,
Manager Cuthbert has secured
the best rate we have ever had to
go.to •the Penn game. A special
fate of $6.75 has been offered for a
number of men exceeding i5O and
that makes it possible for nearly ,
every student In college to attend.,
Princeton, which has but a few more
students than State, took a thousand
men to, Easton last Saturday and
they had the satisfaction of seeing
their team down Lafayette, and they
helped the team to do it.
Why cannot State take - a - thousand
men to Philadelphia and help in the
same cause. When State defeats
Penn evety State man should be
there to have a hand in it. As it is,
every yeal a mere handful of stud
ents jotnney to Philadelphia, and
the team fights the battle alone on
the enemy's territory.
There ale only two football tripe
thiL, yea! and every student in col
-li3ge will at least take one of them.
Start in with this game and we will
all meet on Franklin Field next
Saturday afteihoon ready to give
the college yell when Captain Gray
and his team appears on the field.
