THE REGISTRAR, State College, Pennsylvania
1914 . WINS THE SCRAP
Sophomores Defeat Freshmen 7 to 2
in Pushball Contest Last Saur
day.
The sophomores and freshmen
clashed forces on Old Beaver Field
last Saturday in the third annual
pushball scrap. The fight was
warmly contested, but the strategy
and experience of the sophomores
enabled them to score seven points
while the first year men were only
able to score two points.
The freshmen were first to appear
on the field, but were soon followed
by the sophomores, and it was evi
dent that the 1915 class outnumber
ed 1914. After a few instructions by
Harlow, president of the senior
class, the opponents lined up on op
posite sides of the ball anxiously
awaiting the starting signal. The
battlefield was very muddy, a fact
which kept the men from doing fast
running.
The freshmen gained the advan
tage at the start-off and pushed the
ball into the sophomores' territory
in an eastern direction. The suc
cess of the freshmen, however, was
short-lived, as 1914 soon rallied
and carried the ball into their op
ponents' territory. The 'sophomores,
by working hard, were able to keep
the ball out of their own territory
and at the end of the first period
scored a point by having the ball
within the lines of the freshmen.
The intermission of five minutes
was taken and then the classes lined
up again with a change in goals. In
this period 1914 carried the im
mense sphere down the field for two
touchdowns. These scores were
accomplished largely by the reserve
wing men who were held back and
as soon as the ball shifted to one
side, would rush in against the weak
end of the freshmen, thus gaining
considerable ground. The fresh
men then attempted these tactics,
but from lack of experience, proved
unsuccessfu'. The new men were
not discouraged, however, but rath
er rallied their forces and carried
the ball many times into their op
ponents' territory. After many at
tempts for a touchdown, the second
period closed with the ball in the
sophomores' territory. The score
now stood 5 to 1 with the second
year men holding the big end of it.
The third period began with the
classes arranged as in the first per
iod. This time the freshmen ap
peared more aggressive, and as the
scrap continued showed that they
were working in unison and with
better spirit. The sophomores too,
wishing to attain a large score, kept
fighting, and just before the close
of the period shoved the ball across
the goal for another touchdown.
The ball was returned to the center
of the field and after a minute's
struggle the gun sounded which
ended the fight, the ball being a
few yards from the center of the
field and in tt e sophomores' terri
tory, scoring a point for the fresh
men. This made the final score 7
to 2 with the sophomores holding
the seven.
The large number of spectators
enjoyed the :crap as it was hard
fought, clean, and resulted in few
injuries to the contestants.

The “Deutsche Verein"
Very shortly the Deutsche
Verein of this college will (again
begin its activities for the coming
year. In every prominent univer
sity and college in this country,
there is such an association, which
in a great many instances takes an
active part in social and intellectual
affairs.
The "Verein" will very probably
produce in this year, as it has done
in former years, a German play,
taken from the works of some
popular German playwright. To
do this, it will need the co-opera
tion of all former members, and al
so of all eligible new students. An
eligible student is one that has had
at least one half year of German or
the equivalent.
We earnestly solicit the support of
all who take an interest in the ways
and in the history of the German
people. We shall endeavor to
make this a successful year for the
"Verein", in which a better play
will be given than has heretofore
been produced, in this college, in a
fofeiga language.
The Sunday chapel speaker for
October 15 is Dr. Robert. N. Willson
of Philadelphia.
