Heavy Hitting Kirks Both Contests. Three Home Rups in First Game Sweet revenge came to us in the shape of two great victories over , Villanova last Friday and Satur day. In 'OS we lost one contest tol the Main Liners, in 'O9 three, and i last year one, so that our batters had something saved up for the vis- , itors, as evidenced by the scores of 16 to 1 and 7 tol in the two encoun ters last week. , Previous to 1905 we had always won a big majority of our diamond struggles with the players from * the eastern end of the i state, then Villanova held sway for three seasons, and ilow captain Kel- I ly's nine has handed the asterners the worst defeats in the history of the Penn State—Villanova series, and again we are on top. On the defense our nine was built around the powerful big "Rube" Klepfer who has now rounded into even better form than than that he showed last year. In the first tri umph twirler Klepfer fanned eight men and allowed, but two hits in four innings while he scored more runs himself than the entire visiting aggregation of "German" (?) de scent. He, two, opened , up the sec ond game on the firing line for coach McCleary and retired at the end of the fOurth inning when the game was , safely in' our hands. Whitney finished the first joyful event on the mound for the Blue and White in excellent form, while Jay Minich did not allow a single hit in the final innings of the second victory. To the freshmen middle:fielder, ' Old Pep" Craig, the games were a matter of lively baserunning for his hits were long and hard; one home run, two three-base hits, two doubles and a single was the best he could do agaiOt the visiting twirlers. It was joyous indeed to see our men scamper around the• bases, especial ly during the first contest which will long be remembered as a nightmare by the Villanovans. Haddow commenced our scoring by a slashing home run to left cen ter n the second inning of the first game. Hits by Blythe and Bien, and Young's walk in the second in ning were followd by Craig's triple, netting us four runs in all. In the following round, Workman dupli cated Haddow's feat. In the fourth inning captain Kelly and Young each had two hits, Craig got a home run, and Workman and Klepfer liad si'gles. Fourteen State batters faced' pitchers Beadle and P. Murphy and nine runs were tallied for us. Captain Skelton called the the game at the end of the first half of the sixth inning, but in the mean time out batters annexed two more tallies on hits by Marion and Bien and an error by the left fielder. State 16, Villar.ova 1. On Saturday coach McGeehan's men were again clearly outplayed in every department of the game. Craig, Kelly, Bien and Manion secured our hits and the latter caught in great style. Manion caught his first full game for the varsity and did well. Bien was in right field during both contests and annexed four hits, while "Shorty" Miller was used in left field during the final two,innings of the second game.

W. CI A. in the Auditorium on Satudav evening was entertaining and attractive, al tho it can not be said to have been a marked success. Altho the ehmacters, for the most part, were yell represented, and the costum ing was good, an e'sential element semed to be lacking in the play itself. The college girls have made a laudable attempt to try some thing of more Nalue than the light local comedies of former years, but the choice tor this year was a play too slow and ' unattractive. Too much praise cannot be given the. members'of the cast, however, and to Mrs. Dream', the coach, for the results they accomplished with so difficult a play. Miss Margery Lyons mas (-spe cially good as Madam Evelyn May fields, a matronly adherent to King George of England, and deeply concerned in intrigues against the American army. Miss Lucy Kem merer, as Honora Drake, a friend of Madam Mayfields, depicted in an excellent manner her mental strug gle between loyalty to the king and ,' love for her young br(ther in the colonial army. Misses Eleanor Shaffer and Anna Maurice, as Madam Mayfield's daughter, 'Amanda and Helen, together with Miss Marguerite Hinchman, as Anna Van Dresser, their friend, represent ed in true fashion the typical "Tory The parts of Barbara Steels and Dolly Darrah, two patriot girls,,were ably filled by Miss Helen White and Miss Jean MeNarney.,- In at temping to smuggle "the papers" to the front, these characters mas querade as young British cavaliers, 'and cause great havoc among fem inine hearts. Miss Margaret Krebs acted the - difficult role of the aged "Gland mere" Mayfields in very creditable fashion, and Miss Kathltine Kessler was a great success as ilcquelien, Grandmere's French maid. • Betsy Ross, the. mother of the flag, was well represented by Miss Bessie Fye. Misses Davis,, Ride, Williams, and Strode, as the four pickaninnies, were very amusing, a rd made a hit with their singing and dancing. Little Mi s Dorothy Dreifus, of Altoona, completely - charmed the audience with her dancing and spoaking. The remaining cl-aracters, guests of the Mayfields, were well represented by Misses Marguerite Powell; Martha Davey, Grace Ar nold, and Elsie Ernst. The chorus of ten was ,well received, and tie stately minuet, the closing scene, was a pretty spectacle. 16 1C a 4 0 R H 0 A h.
