Two Penn State Track Records
Broken and One Equalled, in
Track Meet Last Saturday.
A crowd. which approached a
commencement gathering saw Penn
State decisi‘ely defeat Swarthmore
in a dual track and field meet held
on New Beaver Field last Saturday.
The final score was State 72,
Swarthmore 32. It was a wonder
ful day for breaking records. The

Strayer, ex-'lO, was broken by Hos
kins and Maybee who established a
new height of 11 feet 2 1-4 inches.
Both Hoskins and Maybee are' en
titled to equal credit as they both
cleared the bar on the second jump.
Captain Mathers lan the 220 yard
low hurdles in 25 minutes and 3,5
seconds, thus lowering the old Penn
State record of 26 seconds by 2-5
of a second. The old record was
held jointly by J. E. Hornbacker 'O5
and W. G. Childs 'OS the former es
tablishing it in 1903.

Penn State Takes two Strhight from
ain Line Team. 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. The story of the two splen
did victories is tabulated below:-

Young Women of College Present
Andual Play on Saturday. ,
T'he "Co Ed Show"; given as a
benefit foi the Y. 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.
