How About the Interclass Baseball
League ?
Undoubtedly a popular vote by
the student body would show a
strong sentiment in favor of the
Interclass Baseball League. Of the
twenty-five players now on the
Varsity Squad, Klepfer, Piollet,
Bubb, Minich, Manion, Butz, Jacobs,
McKibben, Murphey, Whitney. Hen
derson, Hartz and Caruthers all
came frOm the class mganizaton.
Some of these have made the var
sity nine and some will make up the
strong Reset ve Team which will
have a schedule of its own this
season
Spring is the only time given over
to college baseball and' as this is the
most popular game played in the
United States to-day, enough leeway ,
should be given td underclassmen
to participate in' an Interclass Base
ball League of the type which has
successfully existed at Penn State
for two years with little expense to
the individual class treasuries. Our
President Sparks has been quoted
as saying that college athletics in
general are monopolized .too much I
by varsity teams, but our class,
teams have somewhat alleviated
this drawback.,
,Thus, to the base
bal. league which brings more men
into athletics than any other single
organization in our college, it seems
that every opportunity foi its con
tinuance should be freely given.
The Opening Victory
Last Monday Captain Kelly's nine
opened the season with a seven-in
ning 3-1 victory over Bellefonte
Academy and displayed the brand
of baseball which indicates that we
have another spendid team repre
senting the Blue and White. ' The
day was not as cold as 'Saturday
yet thk loyal student rooters—ras
well as the eighty Academy• ad
herent • who attended—shivered
throughout the whole encounter,
yet gamely stuck to the end as our
own supporters invariably do.
Symes, the Academy's pitcher,
was small but pitched an excellent
game against our experienced bat
ters, while Smith was the star bat
ter for the visitors, Two of our
freshmen Craig at shortstop and
! Young behind • the bat displayed
splendid form.
Except for Minich and Whitney
all the other players in Monday's
game, except the brace of freshmen,
were players tried and true, and
both the twirlers handled them
selves well indeed. The team left
Tuesday on the Southern trip.
The Chemists' Trip
Last Tuesday, April 4, the Sen
ior and Junior Chemists, under the
supervision of Professor Churchill
and Kaufman, left College for a two
week's inspection trip of the prin
cipal industrial plants of New York,
New Jersey, and the eastern part of
Pennsylvania. They will spend a
whole week in New York City and
their headquarters while there, will
be at the Broadway Central-
On Tuesday evening, April 11,
Ithey leave Newark for Philadelphia
where they will make The Con
tinental their stoping place. The
I trip will be most fittingly brought to
la close with a banquet tendered by
Dr. Pond, at Philadelphia on Tues
day, April 18.
Students who remain in town dur
ing the Easter vacation will be cor
dially welcomed at the St. Paul's

STATE COLLEGE, PA., APRIL 6, 1911
The Interclass Game
On last Friday evening the annual
Interclass ba•ket ball game' between
the' sophomore and freshman classes
Was won, 'by the • freshmen. The
game vas witnessed by a large
number of the Appropriation Com
mittee and by six hundred students.
T.) show% the Committee that the
student body appreciated, the in
terest in athletics taken by the visi
tors, a ringing cheer was given
for the entire Committee, followed
by the College Yell for chairman
Woodward. Just after the cheer
ing, the lights w 're suddenly turned
off, and as suddenly, tW+nty 1913
Miners appeared at the loirer end a
the Armory. The Miners all hod
on tilt: . Characteristic open pit, lamp,
making ':. strik rig appearance as
ti ey marched clear around the hall.
In front of the off ic als' table three
lusty appeals, "We want a new
Mining building", were given.
Following the specality, of the
Miners, the two tf ams after a short
practice, started the game at the
whistle of Referee J. M. McKee.
The players of :.
hoth teams display=
ed the usual s pirit that is natut'Ay
expected at the big game between
the two lower classes. Binder shot
the first field goal for the feshmen
of er one minute of play. The shot
was from the center of the floor,
being on the sensational Coda.
The lot g shot seemed to nerve the
whole 1914 team, because at once
they began team work and indiv
idual shooting that , could not be
stopped by the men of 1913. • Vos
hu-g 'l3 secured a neat basket soon
after that of Binder.' But these two
points, together with two made' by
Roger., from the foul line, proved to
be the limit .for the sophomores
the first half . The freshmen tak
ing advantage of the misfortune
of their opponents shots, ran up a
szote of eleven points.
The ten minute intermission be-
tween alves was devoted to an ex
hibition of wrestling, given by Mr.
Deal and Mr. Neidig. Several good
holds were gained' in the bout, but
just as clever work was displayed in
breaking these same holds. After
wrestling for nine minutes, the oout
was declared to be. "a draw" by
Referee Knigl . ,t.
Even though the score did stand
eleven tb foul against them, the
Sophomore began the second
hhlf with a determination 'to re
deem themeselves. Captain Rog
ers 'l3 made three field goals
during this period, while Hartz
and Vostiurg each made one. For
the freshmen, however, Smith and
Meyers each scored one, and Savery
and Miller two each. The real feat
; ure of the game was the splendid
I foul shooting of Binder 'l4. The.
final result was 26-15 in favor of the
(freshmen, due in a large
,measure to
over confidence of 1913 and to tplel
did offense developed by the loWer
class. The lineup follows:-

PROF. TOUMEY OF YALE
Talk on "Forests and Water" as
, One of Free Lecture Series.
On Saturday, April 8. Prof. James
W. Tourney, Director of the Yale
Forest school, will give an illustrat
ed lecture on" Forests and Water", in
the Auditorium. His talk deals
with the very important question of
the relation of' our forests to our
water supply. Prof Tourney, a
graduate of the Michigan State col
lege, was connected for several
years with the University of Arizo
na, and while there made an exten
sive study of desert conditions and
forest run-off in the west, as a result
of which he has done considerable
publishing. He entered the Na
tional Division of Forestry in 1898,
and in 1900 went with Prof. Graves
to Yale for the purpose of starting
the Forest school. During the 'past
ten years Prof. Tourney has made a
Study of 'conditions in the Appala
chians, and is a recognized authority
on the questi n of the relation of
forests to the water supply. The
lecture will be both entertaining and
instructive, and is is one which we
cannot afford to miss.
Indoor Contest.
The first annual indoor athletic
contest, - , held in our gymnasium
during the past winter ended last
Wednesday evening. There were
ten events in all with a popible per-,
fect score of one thousand points.
Mathers showed his superiority ow r
the other men by taking the lead on
the opening night of the contest and
retaining it throughout the entire
meet. The twelve men who finished
the meet scored as follows: Mathers
775, McEntire 701. Clark 697
Binder 684,, lienney 674, Bar
ron 671, Chamberlaih 595, Fos
ter 482, Salisbury 466, Du-
Barry 462, Allison 457 and Menden
hall 451:, The first six of the
above men were awarded metals,
Matters receiving a gold one, Mc-
Entire and Clark silver and Binder,
Henney and Barron secured the
bronze metals. The metals were do
nated by C. M. Srhith.
Freshman Exhibition.
' The freshman exhibition held in
the Armory last Saturday night
proved to be a well planned affair.
With the exception of the absence
of the college, orchestra and the sub
stitution of Vogle for Bantle in the
'wrestling exhibition, the program
was carried out as scheduled. 'ihe
large audience was . well pleased and
showed its appreciation by sitting
through the entire hour and forty
minutes of drilling. The dumb bell
drills were typical drills illustrating
the setting up exercises which are
conducive to grace
, and ease. The
second part of the program consist
ed of typical drills of the more
strenuous natur? which tend toward
the muscle building of the body.
About one hundred and fifty fresh
men participated in the exhibition.
This was a good number consider
ing that attendance on the part of
those men was entirely optional.

PRICE FI9E;,C*
"THE COLLEGE WIDOW"
Huge Audience Applauds Y. M. C. A.E
and Y. W. C. A. Production. o All
Star Cast Chosen from Faculty
and Students Does Excellent
Work. Biggest Hit of the Year.
Before one of the most crowded
houses the Auditorium has ever
held, the Y. M. C. A. show, George
Ade's "College Widow," gained a
completer , success. Tremendous
bursts of applause greeted the actors
at frequent intervals, and through
out all four acts the interest was
sustained at all times. The cast of
23 members and the supporting
company of over 30 girls, and men
were chosen from the student body,
with the exception of two faculty
members, Prof. l. W. Crockett and
Prof. W. S. Dye. The members of
the company carried out their parts
in so skilled a manner that it was
almost impossible to distioaguish any
particular stars. The impression
gained was that of a well balanced
and capable company.
T. W. Piollet, as "Billy Bolton,"
the star half-back had all the qual
ities necessary for a college hero,
Prof. Crockett, as "Peter Wither
spoon," President of Atwater Col
lege, left nothing to be desired.
Repeated bursts of applause greeted
his appearance in the different acts,
and during his speech at the end of
:he , third act.,
"Hiram Bolton," the railroad
magnate, was represented in Very
able manner by D. R. Mason, who
portrayed excellently the struggle in
Mr, Bolton's mind, between love for
Bingham College, and pride in his
son, Billy.
J. E. Watson gave a clear-cut,
rue-to-life picture of the typical
trainer, in the pait of "Matty Mc-
Gowan." "Hon. Elam Hicks of
Squanteamville" received a very
keen representation by Prof. W. S.
Dye. E. C. Turner did good work as
"Bub Hicks," gaining much ap
p'ause by' his acting in the first act,
especially. H. A. Weaver, as "Jack
Larrabee," the football coach, and
A. A. Hansen as "Copernicus Tal
bot," the tutor, carried their parts
well throughout the play: Goe
decke, in the airy and elephantine
part of "Silent Murphy," the centre
rush; and, S. H. Miles, as "Stub
Tallthadge,7 gained continued ap
plause by deliciously humorous
acting in every scene.
The College Widow, "Jane
Witherspoon," developed a real
star in Miss Evelyn Ancona. In
spite of the difficult part, Miss An
cona gave a very charming perfor
mance that proved her to be mis
tress of the situation at all times.
Miss Winifred Burrows acted in
clear and lively manner the role or
the Athletic Girl "Bessie Tanner,"
"Flora Wiggins," the waitress, was
filled in perfect manner by Miss
Lucetta Sharp. Miss Vivian Sny
der acted in most pleasing style the
role of "Mrs Premley Dalzelle," the
grass widow chaperone.
The other members of the cast,
J. S. Eberline, T. C. James, D. W.
Very, P. Forsyth, 0: Vogel, Miss
Irma Kriebel, Miss Ardis Mac
Namee, Miss Ethel Sparks, and Miss
Elizabeth Kriebel filled their parts
in strong and able manner; while the
supporting company of girls, men,
and the football team was good.
The play will be long remembered,
and will go down in history as one
of the finest ever produced at State
College.
There will be an illustrated lec
ture on Russia by Mr. Geo. F. Zook
on Thursday evening in the Old
Chapel at 7:30 p. m.
