- THEt STATE Fr,e, C , , Iktitm . , VOLUME 7 NUMBER 10 TIIFTHANKS GIVING GAME Westerners Made all Their Gains by Forward Passes and Kicks GALYIN'S EXCEDINGLY LONG PUNTS Penalties Mar the Game —Largest Crowd in History of Pittsburg Football Attended the Game. Fortune Favored the ' Gold and Blue. Our Line Was Impregna ble. The biggest crowd that ever ' wit nessed a football garri'e in Pittsburg . saw Captain Gray's valiant eleven lose to Pitt 11 to 0 on Thanksgiving day on the magnificent Forbes field gridiron, More of our , alumni and ex-students were in that crowd of 18,000 people that day than had ever been gathered together at such an event before and they witnessed one of the gamest struggles ever put up by any Blue and White team, Pitt's only first downs came as the result of well directed forward passes except in one case where Hittner made a nice 20 yard run during the first' quarter. Our own backs gained mole consistently than their opponents at similar nositions yet we were "outlucked" 5 to 1 and lost by two touchdowns. It cannot be said that State was outplayed, but the . punting of Galvin and Rich ards' accurate forward passes shone forth brilliantly .for the Blue...and Gold. During the first quarter the officials saw fit to penalize us 90 yards and thus it went on until more than 200 yards had been presented to coach Thompson's players be fore the game was over, an amont almost double that doled out against the Pitt team. / _ _ _ Galvin kicked off to Very at 2:30 p. m. and Dexter ran the ball batik 7 yards. There was an exchange of punts, Barrett getting his away nice ly and consistently while Galvin did the booting for the home eleve.i Then Miller's onside kick went ti,7 into the air and Weaver recovered t but the ball was given to Pitt on our 17 yard line as the kick had not gone 20 yards. Galvin's attempted field goal went 20 yards wide. Soon after Hittner made a nice run to the 7 yard line where. Barrett downed him with a clean, hard tackle; he added three, Dewar got two, and on the third down Dewar made a fortunate fumble as Dallenbach recovered the ball on our one foot line. In two attempts Richards was able to get the necessary 12 inches but our de fense showed up splendidly and gave way only by inches. Galvin failed at goal. After Barrett had kicked - off, the game was marred by penalties for a time, for on every down the offi cials detected something or other and mosty the infractions of ,the rules went against us Miller went around rikht end to midfield, his gain being 13 yards. Engel got 5, Barron 3 and then first down. Barrett made 5 yards on a fake kick but we were penalized 15 yards for holding. The period ended wilh the ball in State's pos sesion on our 50 yard line. Pitt tried our ends as, soon as they got the ball Vin the second period but they could do absolutely noth ing here nor in any other part of our line during the whole game. After several exchanges of punts Galvin tried his second field golal_but it rolled harmlessly behind the line. The ball was put in play on our 25 yard mark and Barrett kicked 45 yards to Budd. Ban on downed Budd in his tracks; the tackling of our men all through the contest was splendid, Very, Engle, Hallow, Watson and Gray especially dis tinguishing themselves. A 4 yard gain by Barrett, an 8 yard gaiin by Barron and a 3 yard run by Miller preceeded the most spectacular play of the. game. "Shorty" Miller shot the ball over Peacock's head to Very who ran 45 yards to Pitt's 8 yard line on the forward pass. After two downs the same pass was tried but Richards got Very and the ball went to Pitt on downs with only 5 yards to go for a touchdown. Soon after the half ended. The second half was a repetition of the first insofar as the kicking duel between. Barrett' and Galvin went. Toward the end the 220 pound center became stronger and outkicked "Fritz" somewhat, al though the latter continued to get his kicks off faultlessly and the lack of weight to put behind the ball only kept him from keeping on an even footing. Had Mauthe been in the game it is doUbtful if Galvin would have had any advantage at all. Miller handled Galvin's high 'spirals well and always dodged back for consistent gains in a clever way that set the grandstand afire with enthusilsin. --- The ball see-sawed around the middle of the field until Barrett got 12 yards on a fake kick. The first down was lost however as we were penalized 15 yards for holding. After an exchange of punts •"Shorty" Miller electrified the crowd by a fine 16 yard sprint around left end but n gain ,we were penal ized 15 yards'for holding. Watson tackled Galvin for a 15 yard loss after Richards' pass had gone over Galvin's head. "Burly" again came inro the limelight when he intercepted Richards' forward pass and with State men on each side and a clear field ahead he slipped in the ooze and a seemingly sure touchdown was lost. The gen eral opinion was that on a dry field State's colors would have waved triumphant as in 'OB and 'O9. The third period ended without further score. Very brought Hittner down on Pitt's 10 yard line with a wonderful tackle at the opening of the last period. Galvin made 12 yards on Richards' forward pass. After we had secured .the ball on downs, "Shorty" tried an onside kick and as our players ran down the field to recover it, the oval cairomed off Miller's foot and went directly to the left side into Wagnei's hands. The-latter had just been substituted and made a fine 50 yard sprint for a touchdown. Galvin kicked the goal and the score was: Pitt 11, Penn State 0. Watson recovered Miller's fumble when Galvin punted. Soon after Budd recovered Galvin's low punt and Galvin failed for field goal on a free kick from the 27 yard line. Barret kicked 52 yards and Piollet downed Budd in his tracks. After another exchange of kicks Budd got away on a zig-zag run and dashed over the goal line but Hittner had held Miller in plain sight of all and the ball was broght back ; Just a moment later the game Continued on pace 4. column 1 STATE COLLEGE, PA , DECEMBER 1, 1910 NEW 1011 K ALUMNI. Held an Enthusiastic Meeting at the Carlos, Nov. 19, 1910. Would Like to Have an Annual Football Game in New York City. An Excellent Idea. The Pennsylvania State College Association of New York held its I annual fall meeting at the Carlos, 25 West 24 l'Keet, oh Saturday, Nov. 19, 191 e The total attend ance was 50. During the business' portion of the meeting the report of the secretary-treasurer was read and accepted. The report showed that the amount paid out" during the year for inaugurating the "Twenty dollar Fund", purchasing dies and athletic medals for two years, enter taining guests at the association's dinners, and for covering inciden tals, exceeded the amount received in subscriptions for medals, mem- bership dues, etc. by $3O 25. The following officers were elected for ithe ensuing ye.4r: President, H. B. McLean; vice president, E. W. Bush; sectrary treasurer, A. S. McAllister. ATHLETICS • On taking the chair, President McLean criticised the football sched ule of State for 1910 and expressed the opinion that the team should ar range for one good 4ame to be played in New York during each season. Mr. J M. Waldron suggested the appointment of a comer ittee on mat ters relating to football whereupon the president appointed a commit tee consisting Of Me.,srs. G. H. Lensz and F. J. Pond. Mr. Lensz expressed the opinion that it is pre ferable for the State team to be de feated by a few of the best colleges than to defeat innumerable small schools. Dr. Pond, who is the president of the Alumni association, outlined the difficulties encounter ed by him in ascertaining the meth ods by which the affairs of •that association are being conducted and said that the association's work is not being given the serious consider ation that it• deserves and hence is ineffective. The graduate manager has influence in arranging the athlet ic schedules, but the Alumni asso ciation seems to• have no direct re lations with the graduate manager. Mr. W. F. White expressed the opinion that the work of the Alum ni association would become more effective if it were placed in charge of someone who could deyote his whole time to the affairs of the association without having divided duties as has been the case in the past. Mr. Hey said that the Alumni association could be made effective by working through and in cooperation with the local blanch es. Mr. J. P• ' Kottcamp thought that much assistance could be ren dered by individual members in re sponding to the appeals from the secretary of the association. Mr Lensz suggested that a permanent secretary be appointed for the Alumni association to devote his whole time to its' work, AUDITING COMITTEE Upon the request of the secretai y treasurer, the president appointed a permanent committee to audit the accounts of the treasurer. This committee' will consist of the past president of the association. TWENTY-DOLLAR-FUND Dr. ,Pond explained in detail the "Twenty-dollar-Fund" to which each alumnus is asked to subscribe. Previous to the meeting 48 had sub- 0 LA sciibcd, while dwing the meeting 10 additional subsci iptions wci e obtain ed. Pi csident McLean voluntec - ied to' attend to the collection of amounts subscribed but not paid and to solicit additional subsciiption Mr. Bush stated that the "Twenty dollar-Fund" moNement should be spiead so as to col, er all alumni and not be confined locally to the New York association. JANUARY SMOICI,R Upon the suggestion of Pi esident McLean it was decided to hold an informal smoker on Sat - Lucia", Jan= uary 28, 1911. The Collegian . is indeed in sym pathy with the work , carried on by the New York association and ap preciates the value of the sugges tions made by the members. Fut thermore, we are sure that we con vey the feelings of the whole stud ent body when we hartily thank each member of the associationt foi what he has done for, and the interest he has shown in, his Alma Mater. Cross Country Run. The date of the cross country run has definitely been decided on as Saturday December the tenth. That makes about ten days left for training, and since we want to ex ceed last year's meet, it behooves every man who expects to 'partic ipate to get into conditions as soon as possible. As was the case last year there is keen rivalry between the classes, especially the two low er ones. It is presumed that class numer als will be given as was the case heretofore; . when ' each' man who finished among the first five was awarded his numerals and also the first five men of any ohe class were given- their numerals provided they composed the winning class team. Last year 1912 won the meet, with 1913 a close second. Merchants of the town have re sponded to the prize list with the result that there are twelve orfifteen prizes ranging in value from three to six dollars. Last year seventy five men were entered in the run but only forty-Six started this year it is hoped to have at least seventy five starters. At the present time 1914 has few entries although the entries are a clOse race between the lower classes; the Sophomores having three more entries than the Freshrrian. The beginning and finish of the' meet will be at the Campus entrance. Everyone cannot enter the meet so those that intend to, enter at once with Director Lewis.

Across on the First Year Men. An Exceptional- ly Good Game On a muddy field the Freshman football team went down to defeat before the Dußois High school team on Thanksgiving day at Du- Bois. The game was hard fought born start to finish and after Du- Bois scored a touchdown in the first quarter, the ball remained near the middle of the field most of the time except occasionally when tl e State freshmen made a vigorous on slaught against the High school line. Almost all the gains made by' the home team were secured by forward passes to th,e ends who ,eluded the Fi eshmen on vat ions occasions, run ning for some distance before being laid low by a State tackler. The crowd that surged upon the playing field hindered 1914 in getting off many of their plays. By far the sensation of the game was the line plunging by Capt. Johnson ? Shupe and It.ose, who by straight and cross bucks dented the Dußois line for many gains, threatening at several times their opponent's goal line. For High school, Platt, I-Tubbs and Capt. Dunsmore played an ex cellent game, the latter after' sev eral attempts making the touchdown necessary. to win the game and bring gladness to the hearts of the High school rooters. _ _ The only touchdown of the game , was made in the first quarter when the ba;l center of the field to the freshmen's one yard line by a double forward pass. After' two attempts through the State line had'failed, Dunsmore took the ball around the end for a touchdown. Hubbs kicked• the goal.. All the men on the Freshman team played the same strong game that they put up in the interclass con test. any penalties were banded out ho ever, same of which were claimed to be unnecessary. Both teams were evenly matched and each played a clean game through out.
