VOLUME 11 NUMBER 4
TEAM-WORK IMPROVED
Muhlenberg, Unable to Break up
State’s Interference, Defeated
22-o—Coaches Pleased With Im-
provement of Past Week—Many
Positions Still Unsettled.
The work of the coaches during
the oast week in developing a
strong offense was clearly evidenc
ed on Beaver Field Saturday in the
improved team-work. Numerous
places on the team are still unset
tled and many errors have to be
corrected but the coaches are satis
fied that a State team has been
started in the direction of a most
successful season.
Lamb kicked off to Muhlenberg
who immediately called on her
giant fullback Stipp. He made a
first down on two plays but was call-
MARTIN, Trainer
ed on to punt after three unsuccess
ful attempts. Starting on her 25-
yard line, State commenced a
march down the field. James
made first down from a kick forma
tion. On a similar play Higgins
added another 10 yards. Clark
made six yards off tackle and
Lamb added 18. James made four
yards and Clark a first down. A
tackle play by Tobin and a forward
pass from James to Lamb carried
the ball to Muhlenberg’s 15-yard
line. Tobin made seven and Clark
a first down. On the next play
Tobin went over for a touchdown.
Lamb failed at a goal.
A second touchdown was scored
in the second quarter. Stipp was
thrown for an eight yard loss by
Higgins and kicked out of bounds
on State’s 40-yard line. Ewing was
substituted for James and immedi
ately opened up the play. A for
ward pass to Higgins netted 35
yards. On this play Higgins cross-
CLARIC, Fullback
ed the goal line after a beautiful
exhibition of dodging but the
referee ruled he had stepped out of
bounds. On the next play a pass
from Ewing to Lamb added six
points. The half ended shortly
after Welty missed a goal.
Muhlenberg opened with a rush
in the second half. Stipp ran the
kick-off back 30 yards. Steele
made eight and Stipp 16 in two
plays. Higgins stopped the rush
by recovering a fumble on a beauti-
WOOD, Center
ful dive. After an exchange of
punts Muhlenberg was pushed back
to its goal line through a number of
bad passes by its center. Caskey
was hurried in getting off a kick
and Clark caught it on the 15-yard
line. Tobin made a first down and
Clark scored in two plays. Lamb
kicked the goal. A field goal by
Lamb ended the scoring.
In the backfield the battle be
tween James and Ewing was left
undecided. Both men ran well
with the ball but generally had to
rely on Captain Tobin for selection
of plays. Welty played a fine
game, resembling his form of 1912.
Clark was a great improvement.
His smashing interference, running
with the ball, and kicking recalls to
memory "Pete” Mauthe.
Only a few minor injuries were
inflicted during the game. Locke
was removed in the second quarter
with an injured shoulder. The
position at right end is causing a
great battle between Barron, Mor
ris, Thomas and Swain, with Barron
and -Thomas having-a- slight lead.
At guard the coaches are still unde
cided who is the best man, Locke
being a slight favorite. Kratt still
has first call at left tackle.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBER 7, 1914
CROSS COUNTRY TALK
Elaborate Schedule Planned by
Manager. Squad Largest in
History of the College. Success
ful Season Anticipated.
A squad of 60 men reported to
Coach Martin when the first call for
cross country candidates was made.
Numerous speeches by old men
worked up a great amount of en
thusiasm and plans for the season
were discussed. Last year under
the direction of Martin, who was
assisted by Director Lewis and
Professor Wright, cross country
received a great impetu • Handi
cap runs were held throuhout the
year and a strong varsity team was
developed.
Through the erfort of Managei
Denithorn, the University of Penn
sylvania will compete against the
varsity team at State College on
October 24th. Other meets are
pending with Lehigh and Lafayette
on the days of the football games
with those colleges.
With these trips and theiecent
ruling on insignia as added induce
ments to college interest, every man
who has ever been a runner should
lend his hand by joining the squad.
Entwistle, Schroeder and Hunter,
are taking the squad for daily runs
ot two miles or more. Four places
are open to new men.
The track trials on Saturday
lacked interest because of the small
number of contestants. Wilson
and Shea jumped weli and Page
seemed to be in good shape in the
pole vault. The trackjin'.ps were
very slow.
Fall Baseball Practice,
Varsity baseball practice has
been started with a view to getting
a line on the new material
for the Spring trips. A
number of freshmen are showing
up decidedly well in practice, John
son, a south-paw pitcher from Du
Bois, Jameson, a Mercersburg in
fielder, and Brown, an out-fielder
from Kiski look good. "Ed”
Moore, a Chambersburg back-stop,
should prove a valuable help to
Capt. Vogt,
Among the Sophs, Bachman,
Elliffe and Scollins look best.
Scollins’ leg which was .broken last
year seems to be mending well.
“Doc” Crawford’s leg has not yet
healed perfectly, but should be in
good condition by the time spring
practice begins. This leaves only
two places to be filled in last year’s
lineup: those of Capt. Miller and
Craig. Practice is being held dur
ing the week at 4.00 o’clock and at
100 o’clock on Saturday and can
didates are urged to report at those
times.
Girls Clee Club
Last Wednesday evening the
Girls Glee Club organized for the
ensuing year, and the following
officers were elected: Manager,
Marion S. Long; Assistant Manager,
Laura Unger.
With an active organization of
45 girls under the efficient leader
ship of Professor C.. C Robinson,
the prospects for a real live year
are exceedingly bright.
An alcove has been established
in the Library which contains all
the books having a bearing on the
present European war.
Don’t forget the 15th. Pay your
subscription now and save the
quarter.

Notice !
It has been the aim of the Board
to place an issue of the Collegian
in the hands of every member of
the college during the year. Such
policy has been adhered to, insofar
as possible, but it is quite evident
that the paper cannot be furnished
to those having no intention to
subscribe.
Notice should be sent to the
Manager by those who have not
subscribed, if it has not already
been done, stating whether the
paper is to be continued or not.
Names of those failing will be drop
ped from the mailing list.
The rate of $1.25 holds good un
til October 15th, from which time it
will be $1.50. Check may be made
for the amount until that date. Re
ceipts will be given at C. W.
Smith's Toggery Shop, or at the
“Collegian Office” -- West College
Ave.
Gettysburg Saturday
Gettysburg, coached by O’Brien
of Swarthmore, will arrive Friday
evening at Lemont to play the third
game of its schedule. Although
they have lost Mauthe T 2 as coach,
O’Biien has a good coaching record
and a fine nucleus from last year’s
team. Hoar at quarterback is a
star particularly, in the open field.
Left tackle Sheffer, who was
captain last year, is still remember
ed by our old varsity men and was
considered by Mauthe to be one of
the great tackles of last year.
Mercer, a new guard who weighs
212 pounds, has added strength to
the line. The game will call for
State’s best efforts to win.
Soccer News
Soccer practice is being held on
Beaver Field daily at four o’clock
except Saturday, when practice be
gins at half past one. Over 35 can
didates are reporting daily and
much good material is in evidence.
Yen, from Cascadilla School, has
made a fine impression at half
back. He is -sent here by the
Chinese government. Many good
games are pending and Manager
Vollmer is also hoping to arrange
two trips. No thought has been
given to selecting a team and new
men reporting now will be given
every consideration.
Comic Editors Wanted.
There are several vacancies on
the editorial board of the Penn
State Froth and all freshmen and
sophomores desiring to try out for
such positions should report to
Room 423, Main Building, Wednes
day evening October 7 at 7 o’clock.

test”. See back page.
PRICE FiVE CENTS
THE CIDER SCRAP
Sophs Take First Scrap of the
Year. Injuries Few in Number
of Contestants.
The Cider scrap, substituted for
the Pushball because of the poor
condition of that implement of war
fare, happened last Saturday after
noon; and, being the first scrap of
the year, victory perched on the
banners of our brave anil valiant
sophomores. There was the usual
scrapping around the edges
and the usual struggle
over head. The freshmen fail
ed to take advantage of the oppor
tunity to get on the barrel in the
first few minutes of fighting, and
the chance never came back. For
a time it seemed as though T 7 was
being forced back but the final
score 80 to 38 shows that little
ground was lost. Some 38 fresh
men who had been held in reserve
in the Armory, rushed out after the
first 10 minutes, went up over their
classmen and for the most part
were barrel men. Both classes at
tended rather well although there is
still room for improvement in this
regard.
Lacrosse
With the loss of but two men by
graduation the lacrosse prospects
for this year appear to be very
good. Candidates were called out
Monday and a number of old men
reported.
In addition to the yearly sopho
more-freshman scrap game, a series
of interclass games is being arrang
ed for this fall. A schedule of six
games is being considered for next
spring when only inter-collegiate
games will be played. There will
be two trips of perhaps two games
apiece and two home games. One
trip will probably take in games
with Cornell and Hobart; while the
other may be either a trip to
Swarthmore and Penn or games
with John Hopkins, Baltimore
Polytech, and the Baltimore City
College. The inter-class series of
fers a good chance for new men to
win their numerals and a hearty
response to the call for candidates
is expected.
It is hoped that the underclass
scrap-game will be postponed until
spring, in order to give the freshmen
an opportunity to become familiar
with the game.
