Penn State VOLUME 11 NUMBER 3 CAPTAIN TOBIN STARS New Team Steadied by Leader Gives Great Exhibition in Last Quarter—McLaughry Brothers of Westminster Star. Westminster gave the coaches a great chance to pick out the weak nesses of their new lineup before the Muhlenberg game. The size of the score did not surprise anyone who knew the veteran Westminster eleven. Clark received the kickoff and ran back thirty yards with good in terference. He made first down outside tackle and Barron added fourteen around end. With a score in sight a forward pass failed and CAPTAIN TOBIN Westminster received the ball when James was thrown for a ten yard loss. Neither side threatened to score after this until Westminster ran fifty yards after receiving a fumble. Lamb..failed,.at .a field goal a little later and holding pre vented a State score in the third period when Tobin carried the ball within a few inches of the goal line. The two scores came in the last quarter. Higgins made fifteen yards on a kick formation. James added twenty and six yards on two plays. Higgins made fifteen more and Tobin eight. James then skirt ed the left end for a tonchdown. A. great run by Higgins and a forward pass from James to Lamb added the last score. Few realize the value of Tobin on Saturday. Whenever he took the ball he made a gain, averaging eight yards. This, however, was only a small part of his usefulness. J. B. CLARK, Freshman Coach The success of end runs were gener ally due to his fine interference. On the defense he made a majority of the tackles and unlike the other members of the team he tackled low and hard. Again, while James called the plays, the real director of the attack was the Captain. Next Saturday when he returns to his own position, full back, we may look for a spectacu lar exhibition. James, who started his first game at quarter, could only have been improved upon by the great isi' « e&h&k ? - &r 111 |Ml§ i|iB^j&CS&sjlS DEVINE, WHETSTONE and SCHRY "Shorty." Wood and Kratt also played well, being especially good on the defense. Of the new men Higgins stood out above the rest. He proved to be a great open field runner and hard tackier. The game still leaves three prob lems for the coaches, right guard, right end and halfback. At the first position Locke gives the most promise. At end Barron and Swain seem to lead the field and the half back will probably be picked from Welty and Whetstone. The lineup: State Westminste Higgins I. e. McNnugher Kratt I. t. Dart Miller 1. g.

On a gridiron several inches deep in dust Bellefonte won their first game from the scrubs last Saturday by the score 19-0. The scrub line played brilliantly and the academy was unable to penetrate it. The touch-downs, which were the results of end runs, came in the first and last quarters. Two of these were credited to O'Hoolahan, one on a 70 yard run, and the other to Jones, who captured a fumble and ran 60 yards for a touch-down. Blakslee played a great game at right end until taken out with a badly injured eye. Klinger and Watson also performed creditably. The scrub lined up as follows: Cochlan TB, left end; Yeager TB, left tackle; Teas 'l6, left guard; Watson T 6, center; Gill TB, right guard; Seawon TB, right tackle; Blakslee TB, right end; Colbus T 6, quarter back; Achson 'l6, full back; Bowman TB, left half back; Fair T 7, right half back.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., SEPTEMBER 30, 1914 Muhlenberg Saturday. The Muhlenberg ream which plays on New Beaver next Satur urday will be a better team to test our varsity strenght than last Satur day’s opponents. It is coached by the well known Lafayette fullback, George McCaa, and while he is handicapped by the ioss of Berry who entered Penn and Copley who went to Missouri, he is exceedingly fortunate in having a great amount of good freshman material. Stipp, who plays fullback, is a former Mercersburg star who play ed there with Very. He weighs over 190 pounds and is very fast. Steele, quarterback, is' also excep tionally fast. He played with West Philadelphia High and later with Bethlehem Prep. He has a record of 50 3-5 seconds in the 440 yard dash. Both Muhelenbtrg ends are stars. Theentire team outweighs us, although our team this year is 10 pounds per man heavier than last year.

Athletes Notice Men who are excused from drill for athletic teams are expected to practice daily. Cross-country and track men are required to report at the office of the coach in the Arm ory, No man will be checked un less he appears in running togs. Failure to report is equivalent to a drill cut. Physical director Lewis be gan the physical examination of freshmen on Wednesday of this week. As much as possible, the work will be scheduled in vacant hours; but where such arrangement is out of the question the student may be excused from class long enough to have the examination made.

More inducements are being offered in this sport than ever be fore. The Athletic Association has appropriated some money and it has been decided to” give a minor sports letter if more than six games are played. There will most likely be a game the Saturday after Penn sylvania Day and perhaps a trip to Philadelphia just before Christmas. Three places were left open by the graduation of Capt. Savery, Buch anan and Warr. New men will hand their names to Vollmer T 5, manager; Gregg T 5, captain; or the assistant managers, Easby T 5, Horner T 5, and Irwin T 6. Any T 7 men desiiing to try out for the positions of second assistant manager may do so by handing their names to Graduate Manager Smith. Mass Meeting The first athletic mass meeting of the year was held in the Old Chapel last Friday evening, and there was lots of the old spirit in it. The yells were practiced, songs revived, and the customary speech es called for from the Track House bunch. The attendance was good but could have heen better. The nearness to Postir Night and con sequent loss of interest in things worldly and material probably ac counted for the absence of quite a number of the lower classmen. It is to be hoped that attendance, in terest, and spirit will show a mark ed increased in future gathering'. Cosmopolitan Club The Cosmopolitan Club, an or ganization well known to all of us, held its first meeting for this year on last Saturday evening. The meeting was a purely business one, the most important action was the election of officers for the coming term. Horrocks was elected presi dent; Szlupas, vice president; Rod riguez. secretary; and Fiall; treasur er. The membership of the club now includes representatives from Lithunia, Poland, Armenia, Greece, Russia, China, Venezuela, Porto Rico, and Cuba, as well as the United States. PRICE FIVE CENTS SCRAPS INTERCHANGED Cider Scrap to be Held Saturday, October 3 Condition of Pushball Cause of Change By action of the student council on Monday night the cider scrap will be substituted for the pushball contest. It was found on examina tion that the rubber bladder of the pushball was in bad condition and as it will take several weeks to get a new one the dates of the two scraps have been interchanged. The revised rules of the cider scrap are 1. The cider scrap shall be held in the afternoon of Saturday, Octo ber 3, at a place to be decided upon by the judges. 2. The barrel shall be provided by the present freshman class, and shall contain not less than 40 gal lons. The outside of the barrel shall be six feet. The same shall be chained or fastened securely in a vertical position, (on a platform if necessary!, so that the top of the barrel will be not less than 4 1-2 feet, and not more than 5 feet above the ground. Each class shall sell the barrel to the freshman class following it for at least $5.00 less than its cost to them. 3. The scrap shall last for a period of 15 minutes. The scrap shall be started hy the firing of one shot by one of the judges. There shall be no firing of guns during the 15 minutes interval of the scrap, except by the judges. 4 Each class shall, at the start, be arranged about one half of the circumference of the forty foot ("radius) circle of which the barrel is in the center. 5. The scrap shall be terminated by 2 shots by the judges. All men having hands on the top of the bar rel shall not move; but all others must promptly withdraw. The number of men having hands on the barrel shall be counted by the judges at the close of the scrap. All hands moved after the signal is given shall be ruled out.

The three judges shall be the two upper class presidents and a third man chosen by them who shall be a local alumnus or member of the instructing force of the col lege. The judges shall have power to arrange all details not covered by these rules, and their decision shall be final. 7.
