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. 'Get busy f

PRICE FIVE CENTS
FRESHMEN DOWNED
Dubois High School • Gridironists
Manage to Get One . 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.
