PENN STATE VOLUME 8 NUMBER 2 CRUSHED GENEVA Penn State Football Team Wins Opening Game by Score of 57-0 Varsity Displays Fast Form on New Beaver Field. With New Beaver Field in a slightly muddy condition Saturday afternoon Penn State began her football season of 1911 with Geneva College. On the openire play Geneva kicked off to Barrett and the ball was returned to the twenty five yard line. Hermann made seven yards around right end, but Geneva secured the ball on an at tempted onside kick by State on our fifty yard line. Engle intercepted Geneva's first forward pass at the center of the field. From here end runs by Berryman and Barrett gain ed forty-five yards, and Barrett crossed the line with our first score, just seve - minutes after the ball was put in play. On the punt out,after the touchdown, Hermann failed to heel the ball. When Geneva kicked ofi again, Captain Very ran the ball back twenty-five yards. Barrett and Berryman sprinted around the ends for twenty yards, where we lost the ball by a fumble. Geneva gained five yards on two attempts and then kicked to Barrett. In giv ing interference for Barrett,"Dutch" Hermann had the misfortune to tear the muscle of his hip. After gamely sending Very around the enc' for a beautiful thirty yard run, Hermann gave way to Miller. (..orerl the cetttmrl anal after a spectacular end run, evading,•by zig-zagging tactics, the whole Geneva team. Mauthe kicked the goal. State scored the third goal in the first quarter by fast work on the part of Barrett and Berry man, aided oy fine interference given by Mauthe and Very. Mauthe kicked a neat goal. The score or the first quarter ended seventeen to I nothing in favor of Penn State with the ball on Geneva's forty-eight yard line. Barrett raa sixty yards in the sec ond quarter after two plays, for a touchdown. Very recovered an on side kick and after "Shorty" Mil ler added e'ghteen yards, Engle was shoved over the line. Mauthe and Harlow made several brilliant tack les in this period. Clarke showed his ability to follow the ball by recover ing two fumbles made by Geneva. Geneva made a first down this period. The second quarter ended by a score of thirty-five to nothing. The third and fourth quarters were the product of brilliant inter ference on the part of the backs and ends. Barrett received Gene va's sixth kickoff and ran the length of the field for a touchdown' Mauthe kicked a goal from the field from the thirty-five yard line. 'Shorty" Miller also scored another touchdown by fast work around the end. During the last period Gene va made a determined stand, and, for a few minutes, played the team to a standstill. Penn State gained much ground by wide and close end runs by fu'l and quarter back, aided by good interference. One fact noticeable in the game was the comparative absence of fumbling considering the earliness of the sea son. The forward pass needs per fecting. While Geneva's line did not prove a test for our own line, however, at no time did men break through our line in time to block kicks or smash plays in the begin- ning. Captain Very, by his dash and leadership, showed the ability of an ideal captain. It would have taken a detective to discover that Mauthe had had his ankle broken last season, inasmuch as the same reliable end kicked two field goals out of three tries and six out of nine goals from touchdown. Summing up the result of the Ge neva game it can easily be seen that the Penn State football eleven for the season of 1911 will be much better than was anticipated at first. Every person is convinced that by the efficient staff of coaches, in cluding Head Coach McCleary and Advisory Coach Hollenback, the Varsity will be in such shape that on the 14th of October, Penn State will give Cornell a hard tussle for victory. Owing to the fact that King and Barry were unable to matriculate with the Registrar before Saturday's game, they could not be used in the game. However, since credits have been forwarded •since , then, these two men will undoubtable help make one of the fastest backfields that Penn State ever had. Line up of Geneva Game. Veryl(eapt) R. E.

This course differs from the Civil Engineering course beginning with the se and semester of the juni or year, and continuing through the senior year. Highway design, and tests of highway materials are tak en in place of railroad engineering For the tests of highway materials adequate apparatus is being in stalled, and the numerous new test ing machines are all of the most re cent and approved designs. Baseball Practice On Saturday afternoon fm on one to three o'clock there will he base ball practice on New 13eaver Field. Although the work will be mainly I for new candidates, Captain Eber-i mrumiThms6 - cvislits air — ismd - inemi — to present in uniform. This fall prat [ice is very important as it will en- I able the captain and coaches to try out all the new men, and thus make! the womlc of eliminating candidates! in February much easier. Owing to the very crowded con dition of the Armory at the first spring practices, it is very difficult to give every man a chance, and the best thing for new men to do theme force, is to get into the fall practice tom all that they are worth.

The contest will take place about 1:15 on Old Beaver Field.
