THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1912 Our-Baseball When Coach Wal- Team. ter Manning took charge' of the ma terial that was to represent Penn State on the baseball diamond this spring, the outlook was not very bright. However with the season half over and with eight victories out of ten regularly scheduled games played so far, exclusive of the Maryland game, including a victory over Princeton University, Penn State has a team this year that will surely go down in history as a winning combination. So far the greatest victory that Captain Eberlein’s nine have scored was at Princeton last Wednesday when “Big Bob" Whitney pitched the best game of his college career and allowed a team, that has not been defeated this year to score but -one run. Penn State has’been_vic torious in baseball contests with the Orange and Black six times since 1898, winning games in 1899, 1904, 1905,1906, 1908 and 1912. The varsity has certainly set a fast pace the last two weeks. Pitchers Whitney and Wardwell are both in good condition; the infield is fielding like a machine, as was shown in the Princeton game when 14 putouts and 11 assists were made without a slipup; Henderson is do ing good work behind the bat; and the outfield is composed of three sure fielders and men who are dangerous at bat and on the bases at all times. The most noteworthy feature of our games thus far, in addition to excellent coaching re ceived, is the fact that every play er is working with all his might toward unison and for the success of the team as a whole. The support given the team thus far has, to some degree, been very indifferent. A baseball victory over Princeton is not a yearly mat ter-of-course happening, yet when our victorious team returned from Princeton last Thursday no demon stration of any kind was given in acknowledgment of appreciation from the student body. In fact we are ashamed to say there were sev eral “hearty-supporters” at the Dickinson game, three days later, who learned for the first time that Penn State had even played a game on Wednesday. The indifference has further been shown by poor at tendance at the games played on New Beaver Field and the almost total lack of enthusiasm shown in cheering. How very different was the spirit shown last fall. Election of the One sophomore Editorial Board, and two freshmen will be added to the editorial staff of the Penn State Collegian at the election next Wednesday evening. SOCCER FOOTBALL Reasons Why Association (Soccer) Football Should be Encouraged. At a meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association December 28, 1911, a committee including W. T. Garcelon, Chairman, Harvard; Dr. Page, Phillips Acad emy; Dr. Naismith, University of Kansas; H. E. Ford, Washington and Jefferson; Dr. McKenzie, Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Babbitt, Secretary, Haverford Col lege, was appointed to encourage the extension of the game of soccer football and this committee is desir ous of assisting or advising anyone who wishes it. A list of ten reasons why the soc cer football game should be en couraged is given as follows: — 1. It may be safely played by boys in Grammar and High Schools, by college students or graduates. 2. A long season of condition ing is not necessary, although of course, condition and skill count. 3. An expensive outfit for play ers is unnecessary, the game being played in loose shirt, running pants and heavy boots. 4. While the regulation field is desirable, grounds of any reason able size may be used. 5. The game is strenuous and sometimes rough, but it does not have the more serious dangers at tending football. 6. Light and heavy men play each other without danger. A skill ful player weighing 125 pounds can outplay an inexperienced one weigh ing 190 pounds. 7. The rules are simple aud plain. 8. The season of play: (a) All winter in many localities, (c) Early spring and fall everywhere, engag ing men not playing football. 9. It interests a class of boys not interested in or vigorous for major sports, so called. 10. To develop men all around, or to keep athletes in condition, it is valuable.
