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.
Loyal Sons of Penn State Gather at
Baltimore,
The movement of forming or
ganizations among the alumni of
Penn State is growing. Our gradu
ates have located in nearly all sec
tions of the United States and
several organizations at different
places have recently taken place.
On April 19th. Penn State men in
and about Baltimore met and spent
a most enjoyable evening together
at the New Howard Hotel. This
has been the second attempt to get
alumni together in this locality, al
though there are eighteen men in
the city of Baltimore. At a meet
ing which will be held early in May t
a permaent organization will be form-,

Feed Your Crops Available Potash
Insoluble plant foods arc cheap in the beginning but may be dear in the end.
We feel good when we hear that the soil contains enough Potash to raise 5000
crops, but we feel tired when we discover that it will take 1000 years or sg to make
it available. We will be converted into plant food ourselves long before that.
