On a field in which the mud was so deep that the yard lines could not be seen, the Navy eleven held the Penn State team to a tie score last Saturday at Annapolis. The game was a battle royal between two teams who have not been defeated this season. Owing to the extreme softness of the ground, Miller, who received our kicks on the ,defense, found - it almost i Lpossible to get. started quickly. However, this new hero in the football world managed to make several; large gains by runs around the end, the largest of which was twenty-five yards. The Navy frequently used the onside kick and to advantage. Just at the close of the first period the Blue and Whit& had worked the ball to the Navy's three yard line. From here it looked easy.,to sdEire,th&lirs l 4tOuchdown A the beginning of the second , quar ter. However, a noble stand was made and Collins kicked the ball out of danger after •Perm State had lost the same on downs. At another time a heavy penalty on State lessened the chance for an almost certain score. Mauthe tried for a field goal in the first half, but missed by only a few inches, hip kick being in the face of a strong wind. Our greatest strength seemed to •b i jaa . ...tbe. first half, as the ball was in our ,opponent's territory nearly all the time. Penn State blocked three kicks on the Navy.

Benjamjx Chapin as Lincoln,- On Saturday night, Nov. 25, Ben. jamin Chapin will give his famous dramatic monolog portrayal of his four act play "Lincoln," a character drama of life in the White House. The four act drama "Lincoln" has enjoyed repeated successes on the American platform. Mr. Chapin appeared in the play for an ex tended run at the Garden Theatre, then at the Hockett Theatre, and at the - .New ' Academy of " Musid, Brooklyn. • The dramatic monology interpretation of "Lincoln" was giv en by Mr. Chapin several hundred times on leading Lyceum courses of the East, before he produced the play. Mr. Chapin, in the discharge of a difficult and delicate task, has displayed tact and intelligence, and has succeeded in producing a thoroughly interesting and at times even inspiring, while his imoersona tiort of hiq hero is eloquert of that. MR. CHAPIN AS LINCO, I • THE DENOUNCEMEN • tender, rich and unadorne 1 hu manity which has so endeared him to the hearts of his countrymen. Mr. Chapin's "Lincoln" possesses much sympathetic charm. He is singularly, sometimes extraordinar ly felicitous and vital, and hol,ls his audience in bonds of an eager sympathy which has manifested Tfielf 'Many - times 'in frequent out bursts 'of unpremeditated applause. The subject of the monolog is alone sufficient toiivra pleasing charm to thesja:y. „ .

STATE COLLEGE, PA., NOVEMBER 23, 1911 FRESHMEN WIN 12-5 For Three Successive Years, A Freshman Team Wins the An nual Class Football Game. On the afternoon of Pennsyl vania Day the Sophomores were defeated by the Freshmen in the annual football game by the score of 12-5. Governor Tener and Mrs. Tener together with a large body of visitors and students witnessed the game. The field was in poor condition, soft in some parts, while frozen and partly covered with snow in others. At 2-30 p. m. the teams lined up on New Beaver Field, the Freshmen kicking off. Hitner received the ball but was downed in his tracks on his own twenty yard line. The Sopho mores found the Freshman line im pregnable and tried to pull off a false kick which , proved costly; the ball going to the first year men. With a series of line plays netting from four to ten yards at a time the ball was soon over th • goal line. Wetson kicked the goal. , Score, 1914, 0-1915, 6. Toward the end of the quarter the Freshman had a chance to score again but fumbled on the Sophomores' five yard line and lost possession of the ball. The second quartet was well fought. Neither team seemed to have the advantage till the 1915 men pulled off a successful forward pass and Butzka scored a touch down. The goal was kicked by Wetson. Score: sophomores 0, fresh Men 12. • . _ _ In the third quarter the second year men kicked off to the 1915 team. After an interchange of punts the freshmen worked the ball down to the sophomore six yard line where they were held for downs. The ball was punted back to the center of the field and on a forward pass tried by the freshman and in tercepted by 0. Vogle the 1914 team scored a touchdown but fail ed to kick the goal. Score.l9l4, 5 1915, 12. The fourth quarter was well play ed by both teams. The sopho mores tried hard to score and played their best game at this time. The game ended with the ball in about the center of the field. The poor handling of punts and the lack of general team work may have contributed to the sophomores' defeat while the freshmen's close following of the ball helped them greatly. Sayre played a most ex cellent game for the losing team and Lamb and Weston proved to be the freshmen's best. Line up:— McCormick L. E. Rutstein Metzgar Vogel L. T. Greenwalt 0. Vogel L. G.

Pennsylvania Day Exercises The annual Pennsylvania Day Ex er ci se s were held in the Auditorium last Friday morning, and the large number of visitors and students who attended certainly paid a fitting trib ute to the guests of the college. The meeting was opened by giving college yells for Governor Tener and Mrs. Tener, General Stuart, Mr. Todd, Major Rausch, Mr. Gaether, and President and Mrs. Sparks. Dr. Sparks made a brief address and also read telegrams from Con gressman Watson and General Bea ver, in which they expressed their regrets at being unable to be pres ent. The President also made men tion of the demise of Speaker Cox and Mr. Meyers. The Glee Club rendered a selec tion, after which President Sparks introduced Governor Tener, who favored the audience with a humor istic and interesting address. Governor• Tener introduced Major General Stuart, who although pic turing some of the comical incidents of life, still spoke earnestly in re gard to military affairs. Warden John Francies of the Western Penitentiary, spoke briefly about the needs and the conditions of some of the present penal institu tions. After singing the Alma Mater and the Blue and White, the •audience was informally dismissed. It was s•itisfying to see the spirit and interest manifested at this meeting. The Pennsylvania Day Dance Diplomacy consists in getting what you want--the social set of the college, or our honored seniors, wanted a beautiful social funtion, and thanks to a very efficient com mittee they got it. The diplomacy part of it was that the dance was graced by the presence of Governor and Mrs. Tener, and many other distinguished personages. It was a beautiful sight to behold from the balcony above—this Pennsylvania Day Dance. The armory was dec orated with an array of flags and banners of all hues and colors, and the dance hall illuminated with mul titudes of small electric lights. The small reception places along the side lines of the hall were very pretty and appropriate, and con venient places for many young la dies in their exquisite costumes to converse with their escorts, and to partake of refreshments between dances. This dance was "the social func tion" of this 'all—it was a great success— enjoyed by everyone who attended it. Great credit is due to everyone who in anyway whatso ever contributed his efforts to make it so pleasing. Pittsburghers Take Notice Let every Allegheny County student spend a pleasant half-hour to-night in room 20, Engineering Building in discussing the plans for the Thanksgiving Day game. Oth er matters such as the Christmas banquet will be brought up. The meeting will start promptly at 7 o'clock. Freshmen to Play Johnstown High Manager Weaver has arranged to take his victorious freshman foot ball team to Johnstown this Thanks giving to play the High School team of that place. Dance Programs A few dance programs left from the Pennsylvania Day dance can be bought from Gene Carson for 50 cents. They are in card case form. PRICE FIVE CENTS THE RUNAWAY GIRL Girls of College Present Their An- nual Play in Auditorium—Con • cert Between the Acts—Many Pennsylvania Day Guests Attend Confections on Sale. In their annual production, given as a benefit to the Y. W. C. A., in the Auditorium last Saturday even ing, the "Co Eds" filled the audi ence with merriment by the many laughable scenes throughout the en tire performance. The play, a comedy in three acts, well served its purpose as being a laugh pro ducer besides being a decided im provement on the show of last year. ' The girls, coached by Mr. G. Stuart Brodock, the author of the play, acted their respective parts in true college maiden style although there was little opportunity for any but a few of the company to dis play in their roles any great'acting I ability, Nevertheless in a very short space of time the girls suc ceeded in providing a pleasing en tertainment when it was much need ed and their many sincere efforts demand our praise and thanks. ' Miss Evelyn Ancona was es pecially good as Eleanor, the Run . a.,..ay Girl, who, by her cunning schemes, enables her lover to escape with his life. The difficult role of ' Madam Mason, President of a Southern Gills Seminary, was well I executed by Miss Meguiar. Richard North, a captain of the Northern army and Eleanor's lover who finds himself unable to escape to the Union lines without the as sistance of his sweetheart, was rep resented by Prof. Frizzell in a man ner which brought forth applause whenever he appeared. The two servants, Miss Williams las Juliet ( colored) and Miss Wha- I len as Bedelia, by their many ridiculous actions, produced comedy enough to excite any audience into fits of laughter and their feats were enjoyed immensely. Miss Powdermaker as Mlle. Fordet, an instructor, and the follow ing as Seminary Girls composed the rest of the cast: Helen White, Ruth; Margaret Hiller, Hallie; Wini• fred Burrows, Mabel; Miss Wilson, Cecil; Mary Johnson, Gladys; Miss Winn, Peggy; Nan Strode, Made line; Mildred Ride, Lulu; Margaret Henry, Nan. A most pleasing and entertaining feature of the show was the con cert between• the acts, given under the direction of Mrs. Govier. The program consisted of several piano duets, a number by the "Co Ed Glee Club," several well selected numbers which were rendered in an excellent manner by the Glee Club, and a vocal solo by Mr. A. E. Miller who is the leader of that organization. The audience was • largely com posed of Pennsylvania Day visitors among whom were our distin guished Governor and Mrs. J. K. Tener. The large number of pat ronesses present added' greailir to the brilliancy of the affair • The Auxiliary of the Y. ,l C. A. augmented the proceeds,; of , the show by selling dainty ,homemade confections to the spectators while the concert was being enjoyed. Senior Dance The first senior datiCe . will be given Dec. 9 in McAllister Hall. See next week's Collegian for the good music.
