What Can I Do?
The following letter has been re
ceived from Mrs. Maud B. 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.

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.

Professor Diemer attended a con
