WEDNESDAY, OCT. 16, 1912
The W. & J. 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

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.

Resignations,
Mr. J. W. Gregg, head of our
landscape gardening department,
has handed in his resignation, to
take effect on February Ist, 1913.
Mr. Gregg will go to the University
of California, where he will assume
charge of the landscape gardening
work. Here again it may be said
that the college will lose a valuable
professor because all that have
come in contact with Mr. Gregg,
know that he is a man of ability,
and possessed of admirable artistic
taste.
Mr. C. F. Shaw, who has been
very active in the Agronomy de
partment of Penn State, will also
leave for the University- of Cali
fornia about January Ist, 1913.
As Mr. Shaw has been very instru
mental in- tlW'- mapping of ■. soils -in
this part of .the .staie, -for the past
few years, which has made him an
expert along those lines, he will take
the chair of Soil Technology at
California. Here again is an in
stance where we may extend our
congratulations to the other institu
tion for the type of men which they
will have with them shortly.
Descriptive Geometry.
A follow-up class in Descriptive
Geometry is about to be formed to
assist students in making up condi
tions in any of the courses offered
previous to this semester.
Those having such conditions,
should endeavor to enter this class,
as by reason of changes introduced
into the new catalog, the old courses
in Descriptive Geometry have been
discontinued.
The first meeting of the follow-up
class will be held 7:30 o’clock Fii
day evening, Oct. 18th, in Room
207, Eng. Bldg. Students intending
to enter the class, should report at
that time, bringing with them writ
ten permits from the schools in
which they are enrolled.
Among the Alumni,
Penn State men who are with the
Bureau of Mines in Pittsburgh are
H. I. Smith 'O7, H. Deike, H. D.
Mason, Jr., J. T. Ryan, Edward
Lynch, H. F. Braddock, F, C. Sei
bert and W. C. Cope.
D. D. Dodge is superintendent of
mines at Cokedale, Col. A. F. Sut
ton is working in Knoxville, Tenn.,
with the U. S. Bureau of Mines.
An Addition to “Old Main”.
A new stone terrace is being add
ed to the west side of “Old Main”.
The new terrace .will be in harmony
with the building and will greatly
add to the appearance of the same.
A new concrete walk will lead from
the new steps to the main walk.
This walk will be built over the tun
nel and will not have the present
curve in it.
