FRESHMEN CARRY CANES
1917 Wins Scrap by Defeating 1916
On Saturday afternoon,
_the
freshman football team took sweet
revenge for the loss of the first
three interclass scraps by defeating
the sophomore team by the score
of 14 to 0. The freshmen were far
better than the score indicates, for
they easily outclassed the 1916
team, keeping the ball away from
their own goal line all through the
game, and several times losing a
good chance to score when within a
few yards of their opponent's goal
either on a fumble or because of
failure to make first down.
The freshmen started the game
like a whirlwind when Burns ran
Dippe's kick-off back 10 yards,
Kratt skirted left end for 25, and
Trainer reeled off 25 more on a for
ward pass, but the sophomores
stiffened suddenly and scrimmage
raged about 1916's 40-yard line dur
ing the remainder of the period.
An exchange of kicks, on which
the freshmen gained, opened the
second quarter, then, after Painter
had made 10 yards on a forward
pass, line plunges took the ball to
the 5-yard line, from where Kratt
went over for the first touchdown.
After Thomas kicked the goal, the
ball zigzagged up and down the
field for the rest of the quarter.
The third period waxed hot and
furious, but neither team secured
much advantage and the whistle
blew when the freshmen held the
ball on their own 37-yard line,
where it was put in play a minute
later. After failing to gain through
the line, Burns recovered a fumble
of Kratt's high punt in the middle
of the field. In an exchange of
kicks, Kratt booted to Kolbus on
the sophomore's 5-yard line, where
the quarter was downed. Haven
kicked, but Thomas broke through
and blocked the attempt, falling on
the pigskin for another touchdown
and kicking the goal himself.
After a few short runs by the op
posing backs, the game ended and
the freshmen had earned the right
to carry canes to chapel on Sun
day.
Captain Thomas and Kratt were
easily the stars for the freshmen,
though the whole backfield ran
biilliantly with the ball, Burns be
ing especially strong in returning
kicks. The ends were in every
scrimmage, and Painter put up a
great game at center.
For the sophomores, Dippe was
the shining light, while Haven and
Kolbus played a hard and steady
game, though the forwards could
give them little aid in running with
the ball. The freshmen had their
interference in fine working order,
and the forward pass was used
quite successfully as a ground gain
er. In a year or so, some of the
men who played Saturday will be
sure Varsity material.
And this is why the freshmen
carried canes last Sunday:

Dr. Smith, the Provost, who is
known as one of the foremost elec

The Vice-Provost Pinniman,
takes a special interest in collecting
eighteenth century books of criti
cism. Dr. Penniman has a reputa
tion of employing all his spare time
for the purpose of reading.
The Deans Quinn, Frazer and
McCrea are supposed to devote all
their leisure hours to the advance
ment of their respective schools,
namely: Arts, Scientific and Eco
nomic.
Some of the members are tennis
experts, others stamp collectors,
equestrian, manual labor experts,

enthusiastic automobilists.
Conference at Wilson College
Penn State had a delegation of
seven men,attending the Confet ence
of the Eastern Union of Student
Volunteers at Wilson College,
Chambersburg, on Friday to Sun
day last inclusive. About 20 dif
ferent seminaries, colleges, and
preparatory schools were represent
ed in a total delegation of
about 100.
A strong and enthusiastic spirit
characterized the conference. Dr.
Isaac T. Headland's address on
"the By-products of Missions" was
very well received. Many at our
college heard Dr. Headland
in his address on this subject last
year and all who have heard it can
testify that he has a wonderful
message for all. Among the other
conference leaders were Geo Huber
Jones, formerly missionary to
Korea; Dr. Capen of the Mission
School at Hartford; Rev. Crothers,
a traveling secretary for the Presby
terian Church; Wilbert Smith,
Candidate Secretary of the Student
Volunteer Movement. Many help
ful suggestions were given for
strengthening the missionary work
in the various institutions.

Wilson College provided splen
did entertainment for all the dele

the conference agree that the con
ference was a splendid success.

The lineup for the initial game will
be as follows' L. 0., Bishop; L. 1.,
Kuno or Dorwart; C., Gregg; R. 1.,
Vollmer; R. 0., Wilkinson. C. H.,
Buchanan or Tobin; R. H., Holm

Goal, Nicholson.
The team has been extremely
fortunate in having for some time
the services of Mr. Bishop, Haver
ford's experienced coach. Con
trary to usual custom, the team will
have a spring schedule composed
chiefly of home games. The
money realized from these games
will be used to defray the expenses
of the fall trip. The spring sched
ule will include games with Har
yard, Columbia, Haverford and
Penn.
At the completion of the spring
season, the team will make a strong
effort to get intercollegiate recogni
tion. At present Penn State and
Princeton are the next applicants to
be considered by the association.
BY THE WAY
The pushball scrap has been
abolished at Penn and a new con
test, the "flour rush" has been sub
stituted. 100 freshmen will each
carry a small sack of flour, and will
be guarded by the remaining fresh
men. If at the end of a3O minute
attack by the sophomores, the
freshmen can show 10 uninjured
sacks, they win the scrap. Lack of
interest in the pushball contest is
the reason given for the change.
