VOLUME 10 NUMBER 27
STATE WINS ANOTHER
West Virginia Proved Good Oppon
ents. Craig’s Clout in Second
Paves the Way for Team’s Fifth
Victory.
Before a throng of chilled spec
tators, "Shorty” Miller’s team man
aged to sew up a fast game with
West Virginia on New Beaver field
last Friday. A second game was
scheduled for Saturday afternoon
but owing to rain the game was
called.
Barron for West Virginia started
out strong by striking out two men
in the first inning. Craig the first
man up in the second landed on a
fast one and scored a home run
with a clean drive to deep right.
This hit momentarily unnerved Bar
ron who then walked Robinson.
Kominars sacrificed, advancing
Robinson to third. Weber lined a
fast one to Long who fumbled and
Weber stole seccnd. A sacrifice
fly by Vogt brought in two more
tallies and Liebert made the third
out with a pop fly to first. No
further scoring took place until the
sixth when Blythe laced out a
single followed by another single
from Craig’s bat which advanced
Blythe to second. A sacrifice by
Robinson moved both men to sec
ond and third respectively and
Kominars’ hit to Barron forced
Blythe at home. Another single
by Weber to left scored Craig;
Kominars came in on an overthrow
to the plate. In the seventh we lost
another opportunity to score when,
after a hit by Liebert, and Millers
clout to second which retired Lieb
ert, “Shorty” stole second and
tried to get home on Crawford’s
single but died at the plate.
West Virginia’s only scoring was
done in the second when Leibert
weakened, issued two passes and
Robinson overthrew third bringing
in theii lone tally.
Liebert pitched good ball and
kept the hits well scattered tighten
ing up and striking out the side
when hits meant runs. Only five
singles were credited against him
while Barron allowed seven and
was only effective at times. Lieb
ert struck out seven men and issued
three passes while Barron struck
out three and walked only one.
Craig continued his usual good
stick work with two hits out of
four times up and his fielding also
proved to be above the average.
West Virginia’s outfielders proved
to be fast and played snappy ball
.while the team as a whole played a
good game. The score is as fol
lows: —

Penn State 0 3 0 0 0 2 0 0 x 574
State Wins at Relays
Through the withdrawal of one
team to enter the championship
race, two classes were combined in
the one mile relay race. Humble
ran a great race, but in touching off
White he spiked and removed
White’s shoe. White ran his entire
quarter mile with a spiked foot and
minus a shoe. If this accident had
not occurred, our team would have
returned with two watches each in
place of but one, Leyden ran the
last relay and finished ahead of the
Carlisle runner.
Lamb took third in the javelin
throw but Hammitt was unsuccess
ful. The heavy track and numer
ous heats proved his downfall.
The four mile relay also suffered
from the condition of the track.
Baseball Trip.
The baseball team leaves on
Thursday and will play Lehigh
Lafayette, Vermont, Dartmouth,
West Point and Princeton. Since
the return of the team two new men
have shown to such advantage that
they are to be added to the squad.
Baughman T 6 will be taken with
Hesselbacker and Liebert to care
for the pitching. Baughman is
small and has little speed but he
has a good assortment of curves
with the team in back of him he
should win his game. Josefson
will go as a substitute outfielder
and Eliffe as the infield substitute.
With the exception of West
Point every team to be played
is strong. Lehigh has won four
out of nine games. Cheno
with, the football star of the col
lege, is playing second base while
Leody, a first string pitcher, is
also a football man. The only
comparative scores are two defeats
for Lehigh from W. and L. to one
defeat for State.
The one game which the players
wish to win above all is naturally
the Princeton game. A Princeton
defeat from a State team is no
rarity. In 1912 Whitney pitched
to victory and in the days of Cree
and Haverstick three victories in
succession came to State.
Princeton has won seven out of
ten games having lost once to
Catholic University and twice to
Georgetown. No doubt Wood
their star flinger will oppose State
in this battle.
Baseball Suggestions,
The committee on College base
ball appointed by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association has
made several suggestions most of
which appear to be of value. The
first suggestion recommends the en
forcement of that rule which limits
the coachers’ remarks to the base
runner only. At least some of our
opponents have carried their re
marks to our men. None of this
coaching, however, has been heard
from our team.
The second suggestion is in re
gard to the coach on the bench.
Our men have decided to meet the
opposing team half way in this
matter. A third suggestion was
that the catcher should be barred
from addressing the batsman. This
may or may not be wise. The con
stant chatter of a catcher does
much to steady his battery mate.
The committee also suggests the
elimination of the encouraging re
marks from the outfield and the
elimination of the spectators’ re
marks intended to "rattle” the
visiting team. No doubt our out
field will meet opposing teams
halfway in regard to the fourth sug
gestion.
Interclass Soccer
An interclass soccer league has
been formed with teams from the
three lower classes. A. L. Dorwart
has been elected as manager of the
sophomores and G. A. Doyle to the
same position for the freshmen.
Interclass practice will be held
each afternoon in conjunction with
varsity practice. Class numerals
are awarded to members of class
teams and ample opportunity will
be given to new men to make good.
The following schedule has been
arranged:
April 25, 1915 vs. 1917.
April 29, 1917 vs. 1916.
May 2. 1916 vs. 1615.
May 6.1915 vs. 1917.
May 9, 1917 vs. 1916.
May 13, 1915 vs. 1916.
STATE COLLEGE, PA., APRIL 29, 1914
LACROSSE TEAM WINS
Team Work and Accurate Passing
Give Results—Pennsylvania
Here Saturday.
A victory over Baltimore City
college on Beaver field Saturday
indicates that the lacrosse team will
help keep State among the best
teams of that sport. Hallowell
played his first game and was very
effective. His last goal was a very
difficult shot and well executed.
Yerger played a fine game at
defense. His speed and weight
proved to be of great advantage in
body checking. The entire team
played with remarkable ability for
the first game. Team work was
always in evidence and the passing
was always accurate. . Gallagher
and Mehard played the same good
game which chaiacterized their
work in 1913, while Farley out
played the veteran Wolfe at center.
The number of spectators was
the only disappointment. After
seeing one game few care to miss a
single contest. State College
stamped its approval on the sport
last year when it liberally support
ed the Penn game.
Next Saturday the University of
Pennsylvania plays on Beaver field.
Since the baseball team will be
away, the game will be the only
varsity contest that afternoon.
Penn has lost to Johns Hopkins,
Carlisle and Harvard. While State
should win, the game should be
well contested. Starting ( with Park
er at goal, the Penn lb ♦.ip will be
Russell, Chandler, Hassen, Rocke
fellow, Graham, Hussa. Gorman,
Holland, Heitman, Nessman and
Kilgore.
Track Managers
Fifteen sophomores are needed
to act as guides for the scholastic
athletes who will compete here on
Friday. Since the amendment to
the athletic association constitution
will probably be passed, which
provides a new method for mana
gerial selection, Manager De Voe
wishes to have the names of all can
didates in the sophomore class for
second assistant track managers.
Acting as glides on Friday will be
part of the work assigned to the
candidates.
Seniors Who Want Positions.
C. K. Ober, of the International
Committee of the Y. M. C. A., will
be in State College April 29 to
May 1, to interview men who de
sire to take advantage of the Fel
lowship Plan.
This plan is similar to that of a
scholarship in a University. A
man has an opportunity to try him
self out for a year to see whether
he is fitted for industrial, city,
student, or foreign secretaryship.
He has a salary of $6OO a year, and
is under expert leadership. Tom
McConnell was one of the men un
der this Fellowship Plan.
1916 Class Meeting
At a meeting of the sophomore
class last Monday, Geary was elect
ed editor-in-chief of the 1916 La
Vie and Sipe, business manager.
Dolbin was elected track manager,
but resigned leaving the second
highest man, Staiger, as manager.
Liebacher was elected baseball
manager. It was also decided that
for the remainder of the present
week, freshmen should be required
to obey the nine o’clock curfew
rule.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
“DAMAGED GOODS”
Great Moral Play to be Interpreted
in Auditorium May 2. Has Na-
tional Reputation.
Eugene Brieux’s great play on
Eugenics will be given in the Audi
torium next Saturday evening!
May 2, at eight o’clock; admission
25 cents. The attendance will be
strictly limited to men.
“Damaged Goods” is a study of
the great Red Plague in its bearing
on marriage. It is a French pro
duction in three acts. Les Avaries,
and the scene is laid in Paris. It is
full of thrills. One of the dramatic
climaxes is when a young man
meets face to face with a physician
and the awful truth is revealed to
him. The play has produced a
profound sensation wherever pre
sented. “Damaged Goods” was
first produced in America on
March 14, 1913, and has since been
continuously running in New York.
It was the play selected to be
pesented at the National Purity
Congress at Buffalo. On Sunday
afternoon, April 6, 1913, there was
given in Washington, D. C. a spe
cial guest performance for members
of the Cabinet, both houses of Con
gress, the United States Supreme
Court, representatives of the Diplo
matic Corps, and others prominent
in national life. The National
Theatre was crowded with the fore
most men and women of the Cap
ital, including the most noted
clergymen of that city.
Commencement Preparations.
Alumni Day at Commencement
time will be an occassion of un
usual celebration this year. Alum
ni festivities of Commencement
week for the past few years have
been growing in importance and
interest and plans under way for
the 1914 Commencement promises
something entirely new. The
alumni parade and stunts will be
unusual in that reunion. Classes and
undergraduate organizations will
participate in fantastic costume.
The class of 1909 is very secre
tive about the stunt which they de
clare will be a “startler”. The
Varsity Club, on the occasion of
the First Annual Home Coming of
Former Athletes of the college will
be very much in evidence. The
class of 1914 has under advisement
plans that will establish a preced
ent for future graduating classes.
The Musical Clubs will stage some
of their best hits.
Undergraduate organizations who
desire to participate in the festiv
ities of Alumni Day will be heartily
welcomed. Representatives of any
such organizations who are interest
ed in the movement should see
Alumni Secretary, Ray Smith, 120
Main Building, at the earliest pos
sible date.
As Alumni day this year is a big
feature of the “Booster Campaign”
of the General Alumni Association
every effort is being put forth to
make the day memorable.
What Penn Thinks of Us.
“Every one of us from Pennsyl
vania certainly appreciated the
magnificent reception which was
given them by Penn State people.
I have never been anywhere where
the welcome was more cordial and
whole-hearted, and I know it has
done us all good to have been with
you yesterday and caught some of
the splendid spirit which seems to
dominate the whole life of State’s
campus.”
