Penn State VOLUME 11 NUMBER 5 STATE 13, GETTYSBURG!) Absence of Leader and Over-Confi dence Result in Low Score Vic- tory Over Gettysburg—Varsity Weak Offensively—Defensive Play Good in Spots. If the work of the varsity on Sat urday afternoon, when they defeat ed Gettysburg 13-0 on New Beaver Field, is to be taken as their best football, they have suffered a set back in their playing since the game with Muhlenburg. The team work which was so evident in that game was sadly lacking in Satur day’s exhibition. The individual work of nearly every man was of a high order but the driving, compel ling leadership was gone. BARRON, end Gettysburg kicked off to State and Thomas ran the ball back 15 yards. A fumble lost eight yards, Clark punted 45 yards, and Thomas, by a burst of speed, re covered' the ball in Gettysburg’s territory. Lamb made a first down around end. In this play McKee, of Gettysburg, received a bad frac ture above his right ankle. Dippe lost two yards; a forward pass fail ed and Lamb missed a field goal from the 45-yard line by a narrow margin. A short time later Miller caught a five yard punt and State started a march for a touchdown from mid-field. Clark made five yards and Lamb made a beautiful end run. Clark added ten yards in two attempts. A touchdown result- MORRIS, end ed after three line bucks by Dippe, Clark and Dippe. Lamb kicked the goal. The other score came at the be ginning of the third period. State kicked off to Gettysburg, who after two unsuccessful plays punted to James. By great open field run ning he returned the ball to the vis itors’ 25-yard line, when Welty scored on the sixth play. Lamb missed the goal. Near the close of the third peri od another score seemed imminent when Welty recovered a fumble. Ewing made 10 yards in two plays when State received the only penal ty. Ewing made up the 15 yards on the next play, but the march was stopped when Gettysburg caught a forward pass. A short time later another fumble in mid field made a score possible. Clark made six yards off tackle; Yerger, 13 yards on a delayed pass; Welty, nine yards off tackle, and Clark a down. With the ball on Gettys burg’s 50-yard line, Yerger fumbled after breaking through the line and the last chance to score was gone. The most redeeming feature of the game was the end playing of Thomas and Higgins. By his ex hibition Thomas will undoubtedly receive first call on Saturday for the contested right end position. In the backfield Dan Welty was at his best. Offensively and defen sively he played as well as any back seen on Beaver Field this year with the possible exception of Clark. At quarterback James still seems to have the advantage over Ewing. Once again Clark played a great game. His most notable improve ment was in his kicking, getting off some punts for over 50 yards. Every effort will be made to regain the team work which will be necessary for Saturday’s game with Ursinus.

Happenings About Town We learn from the ’’Times” that while the most of us were sleeping last Wednesday night a couple of bandits were so inconsiderate as to break into the express office in the B. C. R. R. depot. Entrance was gained through the transom over the north door and the gentlemen managed to get away with some C. O. D. packages and the safe. Very fortunately, the express agent had made a large deposit that day and the safe contained little money and a few special delivery pack ages. The thieves were traced as far as Houserville, invaluable bun dles having been distributed en route. The remnants of the safe were likewise found in the creek in that vicinity. The local detectives are somewhat at sea as to subse quent movements of the outlaws. The conduit being laid along Allen street to the Engineering Building is the work of the Bell and Commercial telephone companies. The Bell people, it is said, are spending $5,000 in improvement to their system here. The new Bell exchange will be located in the Shuey building.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBER 14, 1914 MAUTHE RETURNS Former Captain and Full-Back Re turns to Whip Back Field Into Shap for Harvard. The coaching staff will be con siderably strengthened when J. Lester Mauthe arrives on next Mon day. He has obtained a furlough from the National Tube Company of one week, which is to be spent in drilling the back field candidates for the Harvard game. Captain of the famous 1912 team, full-back for four years, the greatest full-back of all years! ac- MAUTHE, Captain. 1912 cording to Hollenback, successful coach of Gettysburg last year, Pete Mauthe has set a fine example for varsity men to follow. At no time has the team been so handicapped by lack of a sufficient number of competent coaches to give individ ual instruction. Most of the material is green and Mauthe is the man of the hour. The value of having such men is illustrated by the remark of a varsity man who said, "Dex Very taught me more football in two days last year by individual in struction than I learned the balance of the season.” Mauthe will instruct Clark in punting, Lamb in place kicking and the entire back field in inter ference and the State system of taking a man out. Mauthe has the thanks of the entire student body. Both Governors at College Governor Tener and the Gov ernor-elect of the State will visit the Pennsylvania State College on Pennsylvania Day, November 13. They will participate in ceremonies attending the presentation of two steel flag staffs to the college by the P. O. S. of A. Sites were se lected this week by R. L. Schuyler, of Lock Haven, and J. C. Strayer, of York. Both staffs will be on on the campus, near Old Main building. One will fly the National and the other the State flag. The battalion of college cadets and many members of the order will have a part in the program. Ad dresses will be made by the Gov ernors. New Stands Graduate Manager R. H. Smith expects to let a contract shortly for the erection of 500 more permanent bleacher seats, which are to be placed just below the sophomore stand. With this addition there should be adequate accommoda tions for spectators on Pennsyl vania Day. At this game the usual charge of one dollar will be made for visitors. This is remarkably reasonable in view of the distance the Michigan Aggies have to come and the very large guarantee necessary.

Glee Club Notes, Professor Robinson has discover ed that we have in our midst no less than three men who are direct descendants of musicians of note. A. L. Gillespie is related in some way to Max Bendix of the Boston Symphony Orchestra; D. D. Mason, T 7, is a Nephew of the late Wil liam Mason, and directly in the line of Lowell Mason, who is probably best known from his hymn tunes; and C. M. Nevin, T 6 is a nephew of Ethelbert Nevin and George B. Nevin, both of whom are well known composers. It had been the original intention to limit the number of men in the combined Glee and Mandolin Club to 36. but the present organization has as enrollment of 46 and cutting is a difficult problem. Ten men must be weeded out, however be fore the trips begin and punctuality and attendance at rehearsals and practices will figure largely in the final selection. In connection with matters per taining to the musical department, it is announced that we will have the pleasure of hearing Mme. Alma Webster Powell in a lecture musicale on the evening of Novem ber sixth. Mme. Powell is an operatic singer of international fame. The affair will be entirely free, her purpose being to create a deeper interest in music and to arouse a popular sentiment in favor of state supported schools of music. What It Is The building in the course of erection at the corner of Beaver avenue and Allen street has caused considerable comment. Mr. Robert Foster, the owner, expects to take possession on or before January 1. There will be a store on the corner, and in the theatre a combination of vaudeville and motion pictures will be given. The second and third floors will be rented for small apart ments, and in the basement a large room, 45 by 75 feet, will probably be used for a restaurant. Trials for three short Y. W. C. A. plays where held at the Cottage Thursday night. Mr. Deering will coach the girls. PRICE FIVE CENTS TIME TRIALS Fast Time Made by Large Squad in the First Race Gives Promise of a Successful Season Twenty-four men started the ac- tive cross country season for 1914 when they started over a three mile course last Saturday. The runners started on Beaver Field, circled the track once and then rau to the agri cultural hill barns. Returning they circled the track again and finished at the grand stand. Schroeder set the pace to the barns when Humble took the lead closely followed by Hendricks. With a burst of speed he opened a gap and finished 150 yards ahead of Hendricks in the fast time of 17 minutes, 44 3-5 sec onds. The men finished after Hen dricks in the following order. E. L. Hunter, Schroeder, Entwisle, Bat ten, Cameron, Whiting, McCarthy, Wallace, R. V. Hunter, Fisher, Reed and Connor. Coach Martin and Captain Ham mitt were very well pleased with the showing considering the heat. Practice will be held daily and another time trial over a longer course will be held next Saturday starting from New Beaver Field at 1:30 p. m. Ursinus Next The Ursinus team with a new coach will be the next opponent of the varsity on Beaver Field. Seven of the team played last year and the four new men have strengthen ed their positions. The tie game with Lafayette which team in turn tied Penn is an indication of their strength. Kennedy and Mitterling are two backfield men who will give our ends considerable trouble. Their manager writes, “Our team is filled with a good fighting spirit and have a new coach for whom they will fight hard.” They will lineup as follows: Brown, left end; Carter, left tackle; Mulford, left guard; Gingreich, right tackle; Kerr, center; Minich, right guard; Clark, right end; Kennedy, quarterback; Mitterling, left halfback; Schawb, right halfback; Kickline, fullback. Bible Classes This Year The chairman of the Bible Study Committee, W. W. Whetstone, has planned to have 40 classes in Bible study this year. The course that will be taken up is “New Studies in Acts” by Dean Bosworth of Oberlin. It is the aim of the com mittee to have every man in college in a position to take up this course Every man should enroll at once in order that he may get a connected idea of the work from the begin ning.
