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.

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.

played our Reserve team in nearly
every stage of the game, although
each man of the Re'serves played
hard at all times and by so doing
we were rewarded by Shupe's
touchdown. Nealon was the star

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.

"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
