PENN STATE VOLUME 9 NUMBER 23 PENN STATE NINE COMPLETES TRIP Coach Manning's Team Wins One Victory and Loses Four—New Men Show Up Well. Penn State opened the 1913 baseball season by playing the strong Catholic University team at Washington, D. C., Maich 19, the home team winning by the score of Bto 4. North Carolina University also secured a 5-1 victory from the Blue and White the following day. Two very close games were lost by Captain Whitney's team at Durham and at West Raleigh where games with Trinity College and A. and M. College resulted in two 4-3 scores. The fourth game on the trip, played against Washington and Lee at Lexington, Virginia, resulted in a 10-6 victory for Penn State. Ward well pitched a good game, striking out 14 men, and the team hit be hind him. Washington and Lee turned the tables the following day and scored three runs in the eighth inning, giv ing them a one run lead and a 4-3 victory. Considering the fact that only one outdoor practice had been pos sible when our team left on the initial trip and that the southern colleges had been playing ball for some time, the result of the trip indicates that the Blue and White team should have a successful sea- The men were handicapped seriously by lack of practice and by the loss of Captain Whitney, whose arm did not allow him to partici pate in any of the games. Hender son hit hard on the trip and Miller and Craig together stole 13 bases. Miller, Keller and Hittner, of the new men, played well in the games. Three 4-3 games were played and lost, a fact that can be attributed to the lack of a hit at the right time, as 37 men were left on base in the five games. Summaries: March 19, at Washington, D. C R.

A SUCCESSFUL TRIP Large Houses Turn Out to Witness Performances—Production Well Received The performance of last Saturday night in Bellefonte completed one of the most successful Thespian tours since the organizatian of this society. The circuit included Har risburg, Sunbury, Clearfield, Wil liamsport and Bellefonte. The initial performance was given in Harrisburg at the Majestic Theatre on Tuesday evening, March 25, and was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience among which were Governor and Mrs. Tener and President and Mrs. Sparks, supported by many state dignitaries and members from the House and Senate. Many alumni from Harrisburg and surrounding towns and parties of high school children were in attendance. On the following evening the Thespians played to a small but very appreci ative audience at the Chestnut Street Opera House at Sunbury. This performance, which was prob ably the best given during the trip, was followed by a dance in honor of the members of the troupe. From here the players journeyed to Clearfield where they appeared at the New Opera House on Thursday evening, March 27, before the larg est audience ever accorded a Thes pian production. This performance was also followed by a dance for the members of the troupe. The next performance was at Williams port where our fellows were greeted by a very poor house. Despite this fact the cast produced one of the best shows of the trip and their efforts were repaid by the appreci ation of those who witnessed it. The concluding performance at Bellefonte on Saturday night fully met all expectations. Raynor 'l6, Shultz 'l5, Miller 'l5 and Ashbrook 'l4, made the great est hits throughout the trip and the acting of the company as a whole was very good. The musical num bers were well received and its ren dition of the best. After the production in Harris burg, Moyer acted as leader of the orchestra. Harold Foster, a 1910 man and former Thespian star, accompanied the troupe on the trip. Deutscher Verein There will be a meeting of the Deutscher Verein on Friday even ing of this week in the Old Chapel at 7:30 p. m. Mr. Mentzenthin will give a talk on German military life, illustrating his talk with the aid of several students in German military uniforms. Music and a humorous recitation will also be features of the evening. Men of Finance. All candidates from the 1915 class for the position of Associate Business Manager report to L. B. Keelan sometime during the follow ing hours: Wednesday 4 to 5:30 p. m., Friday 4 to 5:30 p. in., Thurs day 6 to 7:30 p. m., at Nittany Printing and Publishing company office. , • • 4 7 6 i; vtit ,* 4): 11, STATE COLLEGE, PA., APRIL 2, 1913 SEASON ON THE MAT Wrestling Season .Closes Without a Defeat—Penn State Again Cham- pion of the. Mat With the victory over Lehigh University at South Bethlehem just before the Easter recess, Penn State brought to a close the most success ful wrestling season that the Blue and White has ever had. The schedule was more varied* than ever before but the Blue and White mat men adapted themselves to con ditions and ended the season with five decisive victories to - their credit. The season opened with victories on the local mats over McGill and Toronto Universities,of Canada,with scores of 4 to 2 and 6 to 1, respect ively. These teams proved to be good attractions and served to get Penn State in shape for the Cornell meet at Ithaca. The Cornellians proved to be the third victim and lost a hard fought meet by a 5 to 2 score. The next victory was over Indi ana University on the local mats. The largest crowd that has ever witnessed a local meet turned out and everyone got his money's worth, for the 5 to 0 victory does not indicate the difficulty with which the Blue and White came through the winners. The final meet of the season was a victory over Lehigh, whose team had an un broken string of victories up to that time. The score was 4 1-2 to 2 1-2. The coaching of Ititte.am, as in the past, devolved mostly upon Physical Director Lewis and a great deal of credit must be given to him for the success of the season. He spared neither time nor his physical welfare in developing the best team Penn Ssate has ever had. In the middle of the season his efficiency for the time being was lessened by an injury to an ankle in practice which kept him off the mat for the rest of the season. The Blue and White were again fortunate in securing the services of "Kid" Bat ten, coach of Toronto University. The little Englishman proved a worthy factor in the final develop ment and success of the team. Too much credit cannot be given to Captain Shollenberger for the success of the season. Never has a Blue and White captain given more time and thought to the lead ing of a team and never more suc cessfully has such a leadership re sulted. He was a clean hard wrest ler and won four of his bouts, losing the fifth on decision. Very and Fulkman were the other senior var sity men and their work speaks for itself. Neither lost a bout during the season, the former winning four, while the latter won four and had one draw. The places of these three men will be hard to fill next year, for they were without a doubt, the best men in the college wrest ling world in their respective weights. Of the men left to form a nucleus for next year's team Jones, Sayre, and Lamb proved to bewinners. The first named won three out of four bouts, the second two out of three bouts, wbile to Lamb belongs the distinction of being the only man to participate in every meet and be returned a winner ever time. Mendenhall is another senior who showed up especially strong toward the end of the season while Kirk, Homer, Brown and Baird, all made a good showing in the first COLLEGIAN. varsity experience. They make promising material for next year. Callender of the 1912 varsity was kept out on account of injuries sus tained early in the season, but will help to make a good team in 1914. The last and probably most fund amental factor in the success of the season was the result of much thought and labor on the part of B. A. Jarrett, who looked after the business side of the season. The securing of a suitable schedule proved a difficult proposition and required in the end large guaran tees. Alumni Meetings The meetings of the branch Alumni Association in the various cities during the past week were in terfered with by the floods. Sec retary R. H. Smith reached Chica go but President Sparks, who went first to the Thespian performance at Harrisburg, was unable to get be yond Pittsburgh. About thirty five State men attend the banquet which was held at the Union League Club. Mr. W. B. Jackson, '9O, acted as toastmaster. The Cleveland dinner the follow ing evening was given at the unique Hermits' Club, with A. G. McKee, '9l, as toastmaster, and H. A. Way, '99, giving the address of welcome. The chief discussion was upon the desirability of adopting a three year rule for participation in inter collegiate athletics. Thirty alumni were present. The program was in the form of a blueprint showing the rise and fall of cnthusiasm be fore and after the various speeches. At Buffalo, Dr. H. H. Glasser, '96, was toastmaster, and the banquet was held at the Buffalo Club, with twenty-four men present. H. D. Miles, 'B9, made the principal address. The club decided to aid the Alumni Secretary in locating former students who did not graduate. The Pittsburgh dinner was the climax of weeks of effort, and the result surpassed the expectation of even the committee. Over 200 alumni were present and the Pitts burgh papers declared it easily led any college banquet of the year. "Boost Penn State" was the motto of the evening. Sen. J. S. Weller* 'B9, directed the speaking, and G. E. Ogilvie, 'lO, with W. L. McCoy, 'lO, led the cheering. Honorable George E. Alter, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and an honorary alumnus of the college, brought down the house by declar ing for the largest appropriation the college had ever received. At each dinner, telegrams were were sent to General James A. Beaver, expressing hope for his speedy recovery. Odd Fellows Banquet The twenty-first anniversary of State College lodge 1032, I. 0. 0. F., will be observed next Monday night. The lodge will hold a special meeting at seven o'clock in order to install officers, after which the members will repair to the M. E. church dining room where the anniversary banquet will be held and to which all members of the order and their wives are invited. Price per plate 60 cents. Lecture by Mr. Kelsey Mr. Kelsey, who is giving a series of lectures in State College this winter on architectural subjects will deliver an illustrated lecture in the Auditorium, Saturday evening, on one of his trips through Mexico. PRICE FIVE CENTS TRACK WORK BEGINS Material Promises Well for Ccm ing Season. Daily Practice Now Being Carried on. Training Ta- ble Started The early spring has already started the track aspirants on their daily routine of practice on New Beaver field. Each evening Coach Martin puts the men through the regular preliminary work, special attention being had at present to the quarter and one milers. The training table started April 1, with the following men, Captain Keyser, Denny, Michener, Piner, Hebrick, Hammitt, Schroeder, Horst, Lewis, Fischer and Hen ning. These men are candidates for the one mile or four mile teams. Men from the special events will be added to the training table later. The manager and coach are plan ning to take a four mile team as well as the one mile team to the Penn relays. The prospects at present are favorable. Final de cision will not be made however until the coaches are confident that the work of the men justifies this venture. Work in the special events is be ing caned on in a general way, the put and take-off not permitting use so early in the season. Coach Martin declares himself well pleased with the outlook and the attitude taken by the men for their work so for. With what we know of the men -left- over from last year's team and the new mater ial as it showed up last fall, we feel certain that our new coach will pilot the team through another suc cessful season.
