Booth in connection with suggestion to us for aid in her fight to help the prisoner and his family. Mrs. Booth is do ing a wonderful work and deserves the support of college men. Dear Readers: Many at this sea son are asking themselves the ques tion, “What can I do to make Christmas brighter for someone else less fortunate than myself?" May I try and answer the question for them by again bringing to you readers a memory of the need of the wives and children of prisoners. While the man is behind the bars —a ward of the state —those depen dent upon him are left in destitu tion. Many have the most desper ate struggle for existence and in some instances they face cold, evic tion and even starvation. We have come into touch with them through our personal work among the pris oners within the walls and now on our books we have the names, ages and sizes of hundreds of little chil dren for whom we are trying to brighten the Christmas season in the most practical way. This is not promiscuous charity. We in vestigate every case; we know per sonally their special needs and in packing the boxes which are sent to their homes we give them clothing bought to fit each child, shoes, stockings, groceries and toys. ‘ We fipd this is much more lasting and practical in its benefits than having a 'Christmas treat or dinner which would only brighten the one day. We are in greater need of funds this year than ever before. As our work extends we are constantly finding new families. We shall be very grateful to those who can help us .with donations of money, cloth ing, dolls or toys. All gifts should be directed to Mrs. Ballington Booth, Volunteer Prison League, 34 West 28th Street, New York City. Very truly yours for our coun try’s prisoners. Maud B. Booth. Cross-Country Meet.

In an interview published in a Harrisburg paper, General Stewart paid a high compliment to the ca det regiment which he reviewed on Pennsylvania Day. THE FOUR COACHES Penn State’s Success Due Largely To Efforts of Our Football Direc- Hollenback, Harlow, Luby and Reed made up the excellent Penn State corps of coaches which per formed its duty faultlessly and won derfully. These men had a super abundant knowledge of both the theoretical and practical sides of the game of football and possessed the ability to impart their knowledge to others. All had sterling personal ities, good characters, were liked by the players and in fact were ideal ized by the entire student body. Through the work of this “Big Four” a powerful undefeated foot ball machine was maintained during the season which just ended. Head Coach Hollenback’s foot ball career started when he played four years of good football at the fullback position on the Philipsburg High School team. He gained a country wide reputation in 1908 when chosen as All-American full back by Walter Camp. At this time he was a member of the strong Penn team. In 1909 he made his first appearance at Penn State, coaching our undefeated 1909 team which tied and scored on Penn for the first time. After a year’s ab sence, “Big Bill” returned to Penn State’ in 1911 as advisory coach. He again developed for us a team, the onslaught of which none of our opponents could withstand. As head coach of our 1912 team, little need be said. He worked wonders. His record is familiar to everyone. Richard C. Harlow, assistant coach, entered Penn State in 1908 from Episcopal Academy of Phila delphia with only a limited amount of football knowledge. He cap tained the freshman team in 1908. The following year he secured a regular position on our varsity and developed into a famous tackle. His energy, grit and fighting spirit are partly responsible for his great suc cess. As assistant coach he per formed his duties well, was an earn est worker and aided materially in building up the 1912 Penn State eleven which failed to taste defeat. Dr. Daniel Luby was the profes sional medical trainer and coach. He distinguished himself as an ath lete both on the track and in foot ball .at Exeter, Mercersburg and Penn. During the time elapsed between his graduation from Penn and his coming to Penn State, Dr. Luby was successfully engaged in medical work at the Red Cross and Bellevue Hospitals of New York City. Acting in the capacity of trainer he proved a capable man in taking care of the physical side of the players. He well coached the scrub team which gave the varsity its practice. Robert Reed, our college chap lain, established his record in the football world by playing a clean, hard game at tackle while a mem ber of the Princeton eleven. He helped to strengthen the power of our line. The presence of such a great man as Reverend Reed on our gridiron could not help but have a certain psychological effect on the players, tending to eliminate all un necessary roughness. Our coaches for the season of THE PENN STATE jCOLLEI 1912 deserve much praise for their great work which could not have been improved upon. The concen sus of opinion amongithe undergrad uates is that every possible means should be taken to retain such men as Hollenback, Harlow, Luby and Reed for the season of 1913. Engineering Notes.
