Last Saturday’s Game. game with Washing- ton and Jefferson was one of the greatest football games that has ever been played on New Beaver Field. The game was preceded by a monster Mass Meet ing the evening before, the result of which was that the spirit shown by the team and student body the next day was far beyond all ex pectations. Fully 5,000 people witnessed the game. In addition to the large number of visitors and the hundred rooters that came fiom Washington, one notable feature was the large number of Alumni present. It is estimated by a com- parison of registers and information obtained from various sources that *£& ciYufiim weronere. - - " 1 The game was marked by good feeling between the visitors and our own supporters. The cheering of the wearers of the Red and Black was inspiring and increased all the more towards the end of the game when victory seemed almost im- possible. As to our cheering, it was never better. This fact was made possible through the efforts of cheer-leader Skinner and his able assistants. The visiting team played a good game and fought for every inch of ground until the final whistle, yet they were outplayed in almost every stage of the game Dy Coach Hollenback’s system of attack. Captain Mauthe’s toe was re sponsible for the first feeling of confidence, when in the first period, he kicked a neat field goal. Fol lowing this the great Blue and White machine worked as it has in very few games of the past. By those who saw the contest, it is believed that no team in the country could have stopped Penn State on Saturday. One regrettable thought is that the game could not have been witnessed by the Eastern critics. W. and J. were beaten, yet they were not humbled. Victory simply came to the better team. The game was a new milestone in games that have been played on New Beaver Field. It is to be hoped that in future seasons one game at least can be played on our field that will create as much in terest from alumni and students as the last game did. While coming up The Paths from the Co-op corn- Again er, towards Main Build ing, one of the first eye-sores that one notices is the disfiguring path which is be ing cut deeper, daily, by thought less students in crossing the cam- This path, which starts at the nearest available space above the ornamental shrubbery, could be avoided entirely, if we would be content to keep on the walk until we had gone beyond the already bare ground. Paths cut now will be there in the spring, at the time when we wish our campus to look its best; and as this disfigurement is in a particular ly noticeable place, surely it be hooves every true college man to, at least, do his share in checking tnis abuse before it goes any fur ther. BY THE WAY. At the annual senior elections at Cornell, the well known track man, John Paul Jones, was unanimously elected president of the 1913 class. Eugene Le Roy Mercer, captain of the University of Pennsylvania football team for this year and last year, was unanimously elected cap tain of the track team at the lecent track banquet. Harvard undergraduates are much aroused over a ruling of the faculty now in effect for the first time, by which all students in the college are required, before promo tion in the junior class, to pass an oral examination in French or Cer- Dr. Butler, of Columbia, said at the formal opening of The School of Journalism: —"I served my ap prenticeship-in- the-field of journal ism. What every editor wanted then was'a man with a nose for news. They are still in demand; whenever a nose for news crops up, our School of Journalism will try to make it distinguish between a stench and a perfume.” The freshman class at Union Col lege, defying all precedents estab lished in the history of the institu tion, succeeded in beating the soph omore class in the annual cane-rush. It is the largest and best prepared freshman class coming into the in stitution since the time of the Civil War. The Yale professors are congratu lating themselves that the student speeches at the freshman class meetings have changed somewhat 1 ’ from those fifteen years ago. A that time athletics was considered to be of more importance than cur riculum work. The students are beginning to realize that other forms of college activities should be rank ed as high as the athletic sports. New Specials Welcomed. The men in the class of first year specials were given an official wel come by the second year men on the evening of October 8. Profess ors Shaw and Kilpatrick gave short addresses, after which refreshments were served. Plans for organization of the class were discussed during the evening. The new men were urged to adopt some organization in as much as, when united as a class, they could do so much more for the college than otherwise. Tickets for Returns. Tickets for football returns will be on sale at the Toggery Shop Thursday evening. The price of the tickets is fifty cents, each one being good for the four games play ed on other fields than New Bea ver.
