PENN STATE VOLUME 8 NUMBER 4 PENN STATE 5 CORNELL 0 Football Team Outplays Ithaca Eleven—Engle Scores Only Touch down—Harlow Plays Star Game. Penn State triumphed over Cor nell last Saturday afternoon by the score of sto 0. The single touch down of the game was the result of a blocked kick by Harlow on Cor nell's fifteen yard line, Engle scoop ing up the ball and, with fine inter ference given by three men, running fifteen yards for a touchdown. For the greater part of the game our team outplayed Cornell. The good work in defense given by the backs and the magnificient showing of the line, combined with Cornell's fumbling procured a well deserved victory for the Blue and White. Very and Page by good consistent football, outplayed the ends of Cor nell; and tackles Harlow and Engle displayed some of the hardest tack ling shown on Percy field this year. Harlow showed also brilliant work in the offense. His exceptional speed in getting down under punts enabled him to make about 60 per cent. of the tackles during the game for Penn State. In the backfield Mauthe, Miller, Barrett and Berry man proved themselves dangerous men for Cornell.' The satisfactory result of the Cornell game showed that Coaches McCleary, Hollen back and Weaver have developed a well balanced team and one, that besides being powerfu' in both de- fense and offense, is all the more consistent in playing ability when the tight stages of the game are reached. At the beginning of the game the Cornell team blocked Penn State's advances successfully, but when our offense got started, aided by a pen alty of forty yards on Cornell, the ball went far into Comell's territory and remained there for the greater part of the game. After the big penalty, although Mauthe tried sev eral field goals, but failed to get them high enough, the Blue and White managed to keep the ball well in their opponent's territory un til the eventful second period ar rived. Cornell regained the ball on her 20 yard line, O'Conner, who in the absence of Butler, was kicking for Cornell, dropped back for a punt. He was not quite quick enough, and Harlow, by a lightning lunge through the line blocked the kick and "Dad" Engle ran fifteen yards for the only touchdown of the game. The fact that our men were following the ball was evidenced by the speed of the recovery of the blocked kick. Mauthe failed to score the sixth point, but the dam - ge was already done to Cornell. In the second half Cornell came back strong. 'there were many ex changes of punts, but Miller, aided; by fine interference given by the ends and JCher backs, ran the punts back like a shot. Cornell soon dis covered that in the punting game, too, she was outplayed. Hawkins and O'Conner were the best ground gainers for Cornell, netting thirty five yards in the second and third periods. Frequent fumbling by Cornell and the brilliant work of out line stopped the advances of the Ithacans and in reality Penn States goal was never in danger of being crossed. In the last period, Penn State clearly outplayed their opponents. Menthe tried ,for another field goal from the 40 yard line, but failed. Mauthe ran off the right tackle, and with ten yards to go (in three tries) we lost the ball on Cornell's two yard line. Besides the consistent work of our ends, and the good judg ment shown by the backfield in offense and defense, Clarke played well at centre. Hansen showed up in a pleasing manner at left guard, and Goedecke played a good game at right guard in addition to the re mar.cnble aggressiveness of the tackles Harlow and Engle. The splendid victory over Cornell Saturday is only the second time we nave beaten them in football. In 1907 Penn State defeated the same team 8 to 6, but Saturday was the first time that Cornell has been defeated and at the same t'me shut out without a score. In apprecia tion of the victory there was a large bonfire Saturday evening. Eyrich L. E. Page Munk (Capt.) L. T. Harlow O'Rourke L. G. Hansen Whyte C. Clarke Munns R. G. Bebout Champaign R. T.

It is true that Gettysburg and Dickinson have scored on her but neither score meant very much. Had Penn kept A54,1"1.42, ;- • 'tver' STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBER 19, 1911 ADVISORY COACH lIOLLENHAC in her regular team against Dickin son last Wednesday, she would probably have run up a score in the forties. A sfmflay score might have been made against Villano‘a Saturday. But these games have been used merely as parctice and to try out the wealth of material at hand. The trying out process is pretty well over with and from now on the coaches can put their whole mind on developing team play. Pennsylvania must show better form each week if she is to get through the season without a defeat for despite the talk of Penn's poor schedule, she actually has a larder schedule than any team in the coun try barring the Indians, possibly. Next Saturday, Penn meets the Brown eleven, a team having in its ranks eight men of last year's eleven ‘Atich gave Yale the worst trouncing Old Eli has had for many years. They promise to do the same to Penn and they may do it as they have a remarkably fine eleven. The following week, State College plays at Philadelphia and those who haw seen the State eleven say that it is one of the best ever sent out by that institution. State's victory over Cornell last Saturday tends to prove this. School and Home League Mastings. The board of managers of the Philadelphia League of Home and School Associations met in the rooms of the Board of Education in City Hall at Philadelphia recently and outlined the program to be foi -1 lowed at the annual meeting of the I association November 2 and 3.

Villanova Plays Here Saturday Penn State will meet the fast Villanova team Saturday afternoon on Beaver Field. Past games with this team have always been exciting and fast. In late years Villanova and Penn State have clashed on the gridiron three times, two of these resulting in victories for Penn State and the game of last year ending in a tie, 0-0. So far this season, Villa nova has been playing a good game and can be counted on to give the home team a hard fight for victory. PRICE FIVE CENTS "BIG BILL" HOLLENBACK Penn Star of 1908 Making Good as Football Coach-- Has Had Three Successful Years William H. Hollenback, popular ly known throughout the college world as "Big Bill" Hollenback, one of the most brilliant players that ever wore the Red and Blue of the University of Pennsylvania, is now engaged upon the third year of his careeer as a football coach. As coach, no player in recent years is more suitably qualified for the po sition of leading and directing plays, because no player has a bet ter knowledge of the gridiron game than "Big Bill," whose general ex cellence as an offensive and defen sive player entitled him to first choice as fullback on the All- American eleven in 1908. Hollenback made a reputation for himself while playing with Plulips outg, Pa. High school. At the time in which he was on this team Phil ipsburg had one of the speediest teams of high school lads in the state. After being a star in high school, Hollenback entered Univer bity of Pennsylvania. With a bril liant Entine bcfous him, iu 1905, Hollenback vi as hint in practice and compelled to !main cut of the game for the balance of the year. He started in the 1906 season at center, but owing to the weakness in the Penn backfield, was soon shifted behind the line. Following Hollen back's placement at fullback, the team braced wonderfully and finish ed strong at the close of the season. Although starring at center, he played an even better game in the backfield and gave every inication then of becoming one of Penn's greatest backs. The improvement of play in 1907 was only as expect ed, but in 1908, as captain, "Big Bill" outdid himself, and by de fense and offense in connection also with his punting ability, was clssed with only one other football star of the season, "Ted" Coy, of Yale. Hollenback was chosen as the All- American fullback in 1908 by Walter Camp and almost every newspaper in the United States. He well deserved the distinction l and is now classed as Penn's peat- est player. Hollenback's untiring energy and spirit added to the great ability to impart football knowlege to his team mates, led him to be chosen as head coach for Penn State in 1907. What ''Big Bill" was as a football player, he clearly demon strated as a coach. Not only did he give the Penn State players the Red and Blue system in all its fin ished details, but he also conceived several innovations of his own ty which that year Penn State played Penn to a standstill 3-3, held the strong Indian team 8-8 and defeat ed the University of Pittsburg 6-0. Tempermentally, Hollenback is an ideal coach. He is the person ification of fire, dash, courage, fierceness and skill. As aids to the man that turned out such a team as represented Penn State in 1909 were Le Roy Scholl, a former cap tain, and Harry C. Mcllveen, a famous halfback and end. Last season Dr. Hollenback was called to the University of Missouri. In the Middle West he was consid ered as a very successful coach. The University of Missouri had a fairly good season, losing only one Continped on page 4, 00101011 1
