Penn State VOLUME 9 NUMBER 6 GETTYSBURG DEFEATED Blue and White Goal Line Never in Danger—Mauthe and Very Play Well. In a game void of much spectac ular playing, Penn State won an easy victory over Gettysburg on Saturday, on New Beaver Field. The field was water soaked and slippery, which fact accounts for the absence of long runs. Captain Mauthe and Very featured the game for Penn State by their all-round playing, while Clark at center was strong on defense, his tackling be ing sure and timely. In the absence of Miller, Langdon played at quar ter and although lacking in exper ience, made an able substitute. Hoar and Poffinberger were the best performers for Gettysburg, the former was especially strong on de fense while the latter showed good line plunging ability and was re sponsible for most of Gettysburg’s gains. Gettysburg kicked off to State defending the west goal. Very re ceived the kick and returned it to midfield from where Langdon went around left end for a touchdown but an infraction of the rules brought the ball back and Mauthe kicked to Gettysburg’s ten yard line. Gettysburg was forced to punt to Mauthe, who returned the ball to Gettysburg’s 30 yard line, from where Very rounded left end, " bowled over Hoar,' and-scored, the cjnrst • tduchddwn. - Mauthe' kicked thegoal. -Score7-0. . Wilson received the kick-off and returned it. ./fifteen yards, Mau the immediately sent a long, soaring punt over Hoar’s head, but the lat ter made a nice catch and was downed in his tracks by Engle and Very. Sheffer’s punt was short, and line plunges by Mauthe soon took the ball over the line. The goal failed. Score 13-0. Soon aft er Mauthe kicked off, the quarter ended with the ball in Gettysburg’s possession on her 35 yard line. In the second quarter, Hoar was forced to kick. Mauthe made 18 yards through left tackle. After gains by Engle, Tobin and Mauthe, the latter kicked to Hoar on the 1 yard line, Lamb made the tackle. Wilson blocked Hoar’s attempted punt from behind the line, but Hoar recovered, scoring a safety. Score 15-0. During the remainder of the quarter, Mauthe got away for a 35 yard run and touchdown but State was caught holding, the ball was brought back and a fifteen yard penalty inflicted. In the second half Mauthe kicked off to Poffinberger. After an ex change of punts Scheffer caught a forward pass from Mauthe but Get tysburg could not gain. Langdon returned Hoar’s kick 13 yards. Line plunges then with Mauthe and Berryman carrying the ball placed the pig-skin on Gettysburg’s 5 yard line, where a magnificent stand by the Gettysburg line forced State to surrender the ball on the 1 yard line. Hoar kicked from behind his goal line to Langdon on the 35 yard line. Capt. Beegle was injur ed in making the tackle but after a rest resumed play. Wilson made 18 yards on a forward pass and Mauthe added 10. Gettysburg held and Mauthe then kicked' a field goal from the 20 yard line. Score 18-0. The quarter ended soon after. The above is a cut of the new loving cup offered by the A. G. Spaulding Company. The cup will be given to the team that wins three of the first five games between the University of Pittsburgh and Pern State. In the last quarter Gettysburg started with a first down through line plunges of Poffinberger,. ,-Sev- ‘quarter. After ’ of punts, Keller caught a kick from Hoar on Gettysburg’s 40 yard line. In six rushes Mauthe and Keller carried the ball over for the final touchdown. Mauthe kicked goal. No further scoring was made. The failure of the completion of two or three long passes in the re mainder of the game kept State from increasing her score. The game closed just after a 30 yard run by Mauthe around right end had placed the ball on GettysDurg’s 15 yard line. Lineup: Gettysburg L. E. Heim L. T. Dulebohn L. G. McCullough Wright N.

Best “Co-ed Show” Ever Staged Last Saturday evening in the Auditorium, a rather sn'all audience had the opportunity to'see one of the best plays that ha; been given at the college for .some T time. The comedy “Cousin Kate” yas enacted under the auspices of t te Y. W. C. A„.directed by Mr. C. Downing, of Thespian fame. Th? play itself is charming, full of amusing situa tions, yet compelling serious atten tion at all times. The cast was pos sessed of all the ability o effective ly portray the characters repre sented. Miss Williams, as Mrs. Spencer; Miss Heuer, as Amy, bar daughter; Miss Ancona, as Cousir.r Kate; Miss Guthrie, as Jane; Mr. -Lincoln, as Bobby; Mr. Deering, as’Heath Des mond, an artist; and Mr Hughes, as Mr. Bartlett formed a well balanced cast in which each character was well enacted. The leading roles were taken by Miss Ancona, as Cous.n Kate, and Mr. Deering, as Heath Desmond. The former is well known by her successes in previous performances during the past three y ears, and the fact that in Cousin Katje she. excell ed all her other appearances is not Mr. Deeriug, however, was ele- and captivated ht'is audience. His acting was the best ever seen at Penn State, and it is'hoped'that we shall have the pleasure of seeing him in many more shows through out the year. The audience was very enthusiasm tic in its appreciation of the play, and the many who did not attend have missed something decidedly worth while. “Cousin Kate” is by far the most difficult, and yet the best production that the Y. W. C. A. has attempted; and if the same standard is maintained in future years, success is assured. CALENDAR. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 30 6:30 p. m. Old Chapel. Mass Meeting.

Coi.i.kgi.ySc - Philadelphia on Saturday On Thursday at 5:15 o’clock Coach Hollenback’s warriors will leave for one of the most impoitant games of this year’s schedule. State supporters on a basis of com parison to date have good reason to expect victory, but there is no doubt in the minds of all that it will be a hard fought battle from start to finish. Penn started the season with championship aspirations. Three recent defeats have made her desperate. Add to this the stinging remembrance of the crushing de feat the Blue and White administer ed last year and if is easy to see that Penn has enough provocation to make her fight to the last ditch. Further than this Penn has never been vic'orious over a Penn State team coached by “Big Bill”. The two team have met eighteen times. Penn was victorious in a'l but two games. Penn State tied Penn in 1909, lost in 1910 and won her first victory in the memorable- battle of 1912. The special athletic train will leave State College Friday at 6 a. m. via Harrisburg to Phila.

PRICE FIVE CENTS OUR ATHLETICS AS SEEN BY OTHERS Attitude Taken by Papers is Un fair to Our College—Time for All to Act. With the growth of Penn State as a college in the past few years, it is not to be wondered at that athletic success has followed. One of the rewards of this success seems to come in the form of knocks at Penn State’s code of eligibility and ethics. The following item clipped from the Lynn (Mass.) Item is a sample of the absurdities published about us: “On the other end of the stick is Penn State, a college where athletics are supreme and the teams made up of men practically subsidized be cause of athletic ability, and whose schedules are picked so as to hit the soft spots and leave the men free to devote the maximum of time to sports. Their men come and go, little or no entrance require ment hindering their entrance and no one-year transfer rule to prevent a man from another college playing for Penn State immediately upon his changing his resi ience. Every Cornell man likes to win and hates to lose, but few would rather be a Penn State winner than a Cornell loser." Such articles have in the past been ignored with the thought that the real truth would gradually filter through to the outside world and indicate our position in athletics. IhisTinfavora die‘publicity serais' to be multiplying rather than disap pearing. The t : me is now come for every Penn State man, whether alumnus or undergraduate, to thor oughly acquaint himself with athletic conditions and then in the light of these facts insist on fair statements in quarters where such unfair statements have been made. In the case of our recent game with Cornell, stories of Penn State's rowdyism and brutal play found place in the daily papers. Our athletic policies stand for no such conduct as is blamed. A thorough investigation is being made and steps have been taken to get at the real truth of the matter. Our coaches know of only one rough play made in the whole game by our team. Telegrams have been sent by Giaduate Manager R. H Smith to the men who officiated the recent game and at the time of. our going to press only the follow ing reply has been received. TELEGRAM Ludlowville, N. Y. Oct. 25, 1912 R. H. Smith, Graduate Manager, State College, Pa. Unable to detect unneccessary roughness beyond one instance. Game hard fought and well played. J. Cooney Reports from other sources all indicate how utterly false these criticisms are. Now is the time for all of us to get busy. The interests of Penn State have triumphed in other cases which have meant just as much to our Alma Mater, and in older to discourage such publicity in the future our true standards must be known by the outside world.
