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.

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.
