Penn State VOLUME 9 NUMBER 1 THE FOOTBALL OUTLOOK Prospects Promising With Hollen bach, Harlow and Reed as Coach es—Dr. Luby is Trainer —Attract- ive Schedule Arranged.' Football again 1 The season for the greatest of all college games is at hand and on Beaver Field, “that wonderful Penn State spirit” is radiating from all the varsity foot ball candidates. Captain Mauthe, Very, Engle, Wilson, Clarke, Bebout, Hansen, Miller and Berryman, of the cham pionship 1911 team which tied the Navy and defeated all other oppon ents among whom were Cornell and Pennsylvania, have returned to college. The second string men from last year’s squad remaining in college are McVean, Lamb, Fisher, Foster, Smith, Hartman, Sayre, Vogt, Vogle, Weston, Welty, Ford, Tobin and Welling. Of the sixty new candidates who have reported to the coaches, DeVine, of Harris burg High, Sarver, of East Liberty Academy, Haven, of Wilkinsburg High, McNulty and Wood, of Mer cersburg, are a few of those who have shown more than ordinary ability. All these candidates are in excellent condition with the excep tion of Sayre and Smith who are suffering from injuries received in scrimmage last Saturday and Engle and Bebout whose knees are both ;; cfiiig-them. ■*T“wi?'nnxv«i« ' T -y .

Goedecke, King and Barry failed to return to college. The 1912 team is favored with the best coaching and training that can be obtained. “Big Bill” who turned out the undefeated 1909 and 1911_ State teams is the capable head coach. Bill will be assisted by Bob Reed, the old Princeton star and Dick Harlow T 2, who played so consistently for the State eleven last fall. Dr. Daniel Luby is the new physical director of the team. Dr. Luby attended Exeter in 1903, Mercersburg 1905 and was graduated in medicine at Penn in 1910. He was with Coach Hollen bach at the University of Missouri in 1910 and for two years he has been in the Bellevue hospital in New York City from which place he comes to Penn State. The 1912 football schedule as ar ranged by Manager Kerr is more attractive than those of former years and calls for four games to be played on Beaver Field and four on foreign territory. State’s season opens October 5 at home with Coach Ramsdeli’s Carnegie Tech team of Pittsburgh as oppon ents. The following week Penn State meets W. and J. on New Beaver which game should prove to be the most interesting and hardest of the home encounters. The re sults of the four major conflicts, Scheduled away from home, will be watched by the athletic world with much interest. The 1912 schedule. Oct. s—Carnegie5—Carnegie Tech at State College.

The Freshman-Sophomore track trials held Saturday afternoon brought out an unusually large num ber of new men. In the run- ning events some very promis ing material was noticed. This was also true of the high jump. Owing to more experience several T 5 men were excused from the finals in the various events, thus making place for the new men. The summaries follow: — 100 yard dash —Won by Smith T 6; second, Robinson T 6; third Mason. Time 11 sec. 220 yard dash: —Won by White T 6; second, Mason; third, Stewart T 6.

Jlnd the numbernf men taking subjeers in the School of Engineering, the construction of this new unit became absolutely es sential, and it will do much to re lieve the congestion, resulting from contracted floor s'pace. . The general plans for the growth of the buildings of the School of Engineering, (as the work-:makes such growth necessary,) include the erection of three additional units between the one now'. being completed, and the rear of the main engineering building. Two o f f these are to be used for the shops of the Industrial Ergineering Department, and the last two,"including tire pres ent one, are to be the Department cf. Electrical. Engi neering. It is expected that-at least two, including the present One, are to be occupied by the Department of Electrical lt is expected that atileast tweyand. pos sibly three, of these units will be erected in a comparatively! short time. !' Another line of extehsioniwill be along the south ride of the railroad from the rear of the 'bpjlerj house toward the mining group'ahcEinclud r - J Collegian. dBER 26, 1912 ing the space occupied by the Belle fonte Central Railway Station. The first unit of this group of connected units lying next to the boiler house will become the new power plant- The unit beyond that will become an annex to the mechanical engineer ing laboratories and will be devoted particularly to steam engineering. Beyond that will lie the transporta tion unit, which will contain the locomotive, dynamometer car, sig nal apparatus, etc., etc. It is hoped that the transportation unit will be erected in the very near future. pwded eering expressed :he fihe new :ted 'at the building, is ing, as those havej noted, by io feet jerovls win :s, thus mak •well Jighted This unit Further extensions will be between the-present buildings and the Arm ory and will be a continuation of the unit system explained above. It is thus seen that the plans pro posed for extension of facilities for training young men for such indus tries as lequire engineering educa tion are simple and comparatively easy of accomplishment. The new class rooms and laboratories in Mc- Allister Hall will greatly relieve crowded conditions. Further col lege extension, such as new buildings and improvements to the campus and walks, will be continued as soon as possible. THURSDAY, SEPT. 26 7:00 p. m. Engineering Building.

In order to avoid possible misun derstanding, the Registrar wishes students of the College to know that, in accordance with the College regulations, the lists of candidates who are eligible for “The Louise Carnegie” and “The John W. White” Scholarships in the three lower classes are made out during the summer, between July 1 and August 1, on the basis of College work already completed; but that no one can be considered as eligible who, at the time of making up these lists, has any deficiencies whatso ever standing against him. It is therefore evident that freshmen who are admitted to College with an en trance condition should remove this deficiency before July 1 of their first year in college, if they wish to be considered eligible for the Scholarship list. The Registration of New Men. The total registration of all new men who have entered the Pennsyl vania State College,at noon Tuesday was 745. Of these new men, 614 are freshmen, 112 two year specials and 16 new upper-class men. Band and Orchestra Elections. J. E. Heester has been elected to the leadership of the College Orchestra and W. A. Moyer to that of the Cadet Band. Both men will hold their positions for one year. CALENDAR. PRICE FIVE CENTS EAGLES MERE Last Summer’s Student Conference a Great Success— Penn State Students in Majority—Contests Interesting. The Conference held at Eagles Mere last June met with success un precemed in the history of con ferences in this district. Not alone must praise be accorded to the sev eral institutions which helped to compose this happy venture, but especial commendation is due to Penn State, for we had the largest delegation in attendance. The scope of this gathering did not only confine itself to large num bers, but an intense amount of spirit and enthusiasm was manifest ed in that assemblage among the mountains. Meetings were held in the mornings and in the evening, while athletic games held the atten tion of the delegation during the afternoon. Men from fortyfive different in stitutions were present at Eagles Mere. Some of the following well known personages were there from State College.—President Sparks, General Beaver, Dean Holmes, Pro fessor Pattee, Mi. Richardson, Ray Smith, Pop Golden, Reverend Mar tin. and Professor and Mrs. Agee. Messrs. Mott, Speer, Seeley, Car rens, and Holmes took active part in the leadership. The State quartet took care of the musical end of the Stay aT Ea'gles’Mere. At the conference the SO repre- needed in capturing a large majority of-the- athletic- "honors,-"in ' spite-of "■ the keen competition of such ui i versities as, Columbia, Princeton and John Hopkins. Some of Penn State’s best athletes attended the meetings, and looked out for the interests of their Alma Mater in reference to the moral and the ath letic activities. In base bail Puni State first play ed Cornell, and won the game by the score of 5-3. The second game was captured from a team made up of Cornell and John Hopkins men, and placed our delegation in line for the finals. The final game was played against the combined Ohio colleges. The game was very closely contested, and the score was 2-2 in the ninth, when Very stole home and won the game for Penn State. The batting of Knight and Harlow was the main feature of the game. The battery was Harlow and Me Vean. In basket-ball State did equally well beating Princeton by a score of 22-5, and Johns Hopkins with 27-1. In reference to track, our boys achieved splendid success. Lamb took second place in the 100 yard dash. Foster came in third in the hurdles. In the quarter mile Ley den came in second, and he suc ceeded in getting first in the half mile run. The high jump laurels were apprehended by Armsby, and Lamb gotgfirst in the Shot-put, with Very coming in third. Of the four teen men entered in the three ar.d oi.e half mile cross country, Key:er came in first and Allen came in fifth. Grubbs won the obstac !e race and Keyser came in third. In the potato race the first and second places were gained by Miller ai d Rhinehard, respectively. Lair b got second place in the 50 yard dash. Princeton carried off the victories for most of the aquatic sports, al thougl Cornell defeated- Penn State in the final canoe-tilting contest. Throughout the different athletic meets a spirit of good-fellov. Ehlp prevailed.
