Continued from pogo I of end playing seen on Franklin Field in many yews, he having out played such a master of the game as Braddock. "Dex" was selected as a member of the "All Pennsyl vania" eleven largely because of his work in the Pitt-State game. The backfield material being scarce here last year, Coach "Jack" Hollenback shifted Very to a half back position. In spite of the fact that a sprained tendon in the ankle gave much trouble, ' Very played well throughout the entire season. The Pitt game at the close of the season was one of the best in his A man weighing 180 lb, of only twenty-one years of age, but pos sessing the respect and admiration of all those who knew him, thus we see our Captain at the beginning of this season. Although known as a star before, Very has played even better football this year. His ability of hard tackling, speed in getting down under punts, and dexterity in handling forward pas ses have gained recognition from football critics in the East. The Philadelphia Press in -choosing Very on the other extremity of the "All American" team with White says:— "There is no man better fitted to work with White in following the ball, than the Penn State captain. We could almost bet that Very would out-strip any opponent, and he is a sure tackler. Then, too, he is a wonder when it comes to hand ling the ball. Furthermore we have an end in Very who is well-nigh, perfect physically and who would be fresh throughout the game and strong at the finish. "Several other critics in the east have placed Very on the first team picked from stars of different colleges. Walter Camp places Very as first choice of ends on the second "All American"team. Camp's opinion is that, although Very is in the same rank with his first choices, Penn State is not con- sidered on a basis with the "Big Six". It is easily seen that we have had in Very a leader of exceptional qualifications. He has done much for Penn State. With the ex perience gained by three years of gridiron activity, the Collegian predicts that next year he will have no superior in the country. Senior Dance a Big Success The first of a series of Senior Co tillions enjoyed by all present. A delightful affair of the season was the senior cotillion last Satur day night, held according to the time honored custom in McAllister Hall. The hall was prettily dec orated with college and class pen nants, the cloak rooms being bank ed off with screens and palms. The program consisted of all the latest popular dance music, there being twenty dances in all and each dance was enjoyed by all of the fifty-eight couples present Re freshments were served during the intermission. The handsome pro gram was only one of the many pleasing features which were pre sent last Saturday night. The committee composed of H. P. Ohleen, Chairman, Rhoads, Lenchner, Egbert, Rodgers, and Loveridge is to be commended for the success of the dance. The patronesses were Mrs. Jackson, MN. Pond, Mrs. Fehr. Mrs. Weigle, Mrs. Fry, Mrs. Calderwood, Mrs. Dye. and Mrs. Kipe. The affair last week was the first of a series of informal dances to be given by the class of 1912. The next dance will be held in the middle of January, possibly the twelfth or thirteenth of that month. Wanted Man or woman to act as district manager, for old reliable firm.

The Heidcap and Tailormade Clothing A full assortment of 01lege Pennants v •c u •c Dr. Holmes at the College The visit of Dr. Arthur Holmes of the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday and Sunday of last week will be long remembered by those who had the privilege of hear ing him and especially by those who came into personal cont...ct with him. Very rarely is a State College audience privileged to listen to a man whose forceful and earnest Christianity appeals so strongly to college men and in fact to every one. His principles and hi, religion manifested in both public and group meetings throughout his stay have branded him as one of the best speakers and men ever heard at the college. The large audiences which assembled to heal him at every meeting, gave convincing proof of his popularity and of the fact that the men were overzealous to obtain the spiritual good which Yv Ca l U 1 lidllll6 such men as Dr. Holmes express their opinions. On Saturday evening, in the Au ditorium, Dr. Holmes lectured in "The Retardation of Children." With a number of impressive illus trations and still more imptessh e facts, he clearly presented most valuable information to everyone present. The splendid work being done by the Department of Psy chology of the University of Penn sylvania was evident throughout the lecture and it surely deserves hearty commendation. Owing to several college activities on Satur day evening, the lecture was not at tended as largely as it should have been. For the services on Sunday, the chapel was well filled and Dr Holmes delivered a most excellent discourse on "Character and Char acter Building." An equally large crowd gathered in the Auditorium at 6:30 in the evening to heal him again give one of his characteristic religious talks in which he seemed even better than at previous times. Turkey Night Next The Cosmopolitan club has arranged for a series of "Foreign" nights. China has already been presented. This Friday evening at 7:30 in room 226 Main we will re ceive some first hand information regarding Tuikey and its inhab itants. To these social meetings, all non-members who may be interest ed are cordially invited. Delta Theta Sigma Initiation.
