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.
Pennslyvaia Day Danec,
All those fraternities wishing
booths at the Pennsylvania Day
Dance will please let me know at
once, also the name of their
patroness. G. K. Crockett, Lamb

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.
Dean Holmes gave a talk to the
girls on‘‘how to study’’last Wednes

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.
