VOLUME 11 NUMBER 6
URSINUS DEFEAT
ED EASILY
Eleven Which Tied Lafayette Out-
played in Every Department.
Varsity Taking Shape for Big
Games. Every Phase of Play
Improved.
The fourth game of the season
resulted in a great victory over
Ursinus by the score 30-0. The
game shows that the eleven is in
fine condition for the Harvard
game and that the Lafayette game
will give the coaches a chance to
prepare for Lehigh. A great im
provement in every department of
the game was noticed which reflects
great credit to the work of the
coaches during the past week in
bringing about such a remarkable
improvement. Captain Tobin was
clearly the stellar player of the
game. His fine defensive work,
judgment 01 play selection but
more particularly his ability to pick
holes and sidestep players stamps
his as one of State’s greatest play
ers. Lamb’s work was of a
spectacular nature, especially on
the receiving end of a forward pass.
His defensive game also showed an
improvement. With these two men
must be mentioned Kratt whose
exhibition at tackle was little
short of perfect. He made use
of every ounce of strength,
either in opening holes or
on the defensive. McDowell was
another man who improved so
much that he will probably start
the Harvard _ game.
In the backfield, the work was
equally good. Clark got off every
kick cleanly and they generally car
ried 40 yards or more. His line
plunging was of high order as was
the end running of James. The
substitutions also caused much
satisfaction for in hardly a case
was there a noticeable difference.
The only men who made their first
appearance on the varsity were
Sutton at guaid, Edgerton at half
back and Seamon at guard. They
all played well.
The most notable faults in the
team play was the slow forming
and slow starting interference and
their tendency to run to wide. The
men on the interference also tended
to leave their feet too early, while
the holding in the line was very
costly.
Lamb made a short kick to
Ursinus who ran back five yards.
After an exchange of kicks State
started on a march for a score from
midfield. Welty and Clark on
five plays carried the ball to
striking distance of the goal line.
Here Unsinus caught a forward
pass over the goal line and put the
ball in play on the 20 yard line.
After an exchange of kicks another
march was stopped by a fumble.
Ursinus meanwhile found the line
too strong and played a kicking
game. The next series of plays
resulted in a touchdown. Higgins
made seven yards and Tobin added
12 on two plays. Clark carried the
ball over in four plays and Lamb
kicked the goal just at the begin
ning of the second period. Shortly
after this play Referee Newton
strained a tendon and changed
positions with Umpire Merriman.
Dr. Newton coached State for
three years in 1896-97-98.
State received the kick off and
an exchange of kicks gave the ball
to Ursinus in State territory. Bow-
man made 15 yards and four more
plays made a try for field goal pos
sible. Wood broke through the
line and deflected the ball and
State recovered on the 10
yard line. State pulled together
and shortly scored another touch
down when Lamb went over the
goal line after catching a long for-
JAMES, Quarterback
ward pass. This score was made
possible by a great run by Tobin
■for 35 yards. The half ended with
State having the ball in Ursinus
territory and the score 14-0.
A touchdown was added in the
early third period. Ursinus made
a forward out of bounds at mid
field. Two line plays netted 18
yards and then Tobin ran almost to
the goal line out a beautiful exhibi
tion of open field running. He
went over on the next play. A
field goal was kicked by Lamb in
the third period from the 35 yard
line after another touchdown was
barred because of State holding.
The last touchdown resulted from
great running by Clark and Tobin
and a short forward pass on which
Lamb gained 40 yards.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBER 21, 1914
NOTED LECTURER COMING
Dr. Winfield S. Hall Will be Here
This Week.
The speaker at both chapel exer
cises Sunday will be Dr. Winfield
S. Hall, of Chicago. The services
at 11 o’clock in the Auditorium
will be a meeting for men only.
Dr. Hall will speak both Saturday
evening and Sunday evening in the
Auditorium. These meetings will
be open to all who desire to attend.
Dr. Hall holds the chair of
physiology in Northwestern Uni
versity Medical School, Chicago;
he has a high standing in the scien
tific and pedagogic world; was
president of the American Aca
demy of Medicine, and is president
of the Child Conservation League
of America. He has recently been
chosen to prepare sex education
literature for the American Medical
Association. He was the first man
to place sex education on a scien
tific basis and to direct it into more
constructive channels. He is the
best known and most experienced
lecturer and writer on sex topics in
America today. Last year he
spoke under the auspices of the
Young Men’s Christian Association
to over 52,000 students, and every
where made a most favorable im
pression upon students, and faculty
as well.
The students of Penn State are to
be congratulated on their opportun
ity to hear a man like Dr. Hall. He
comes with a well known reputa
tion, and not a single man can
afford to miss what he has to say.
The advance sale of tickets for
the Y. M. C. --At -entertainment
course during the past week has
been quite large. There are, how
ever, a number of good seats
remaining, for which first choice
will be given at $1.25. They may
be purchased at any time at the
Y. M. C. A. office on second floor
of Main Building.
The Stock Judging Team,
Our stock judging team, compos
ed this year of M. H. Keeney T 5,
C. W. Duppstadt T 5, H. O, Hen
derson T 5, and E. A. Rice ’l3-T5,
left on its annual trip to Chicago
last Monday noon. The men under
the direction of Mr. Anthony, will
spend a week on the trip, visiting
three cattle breeding establishment
en route, the Hartman Stock
farms, the Barber estate at Barber
ton Ohio and the Van Hegen Hol
stein breeding establishment in
Barrington, Illinois. A visit to the
University of Ohio in Columbus
will also be included. The Nation
al Dairy Association Show in
Chicago, which is the object of the
invasion of the west, will not open
until Friday, the time until then be
ing taken up with these side issues
just mentioned. The expenses of
the men are paid in the form of
scholarships.
Last year there were 16 teams
representing as many different col
leges at the show and in that bunch
our fellows ranked fifth. We had
the high man in Guernsey breeds,
second high in Ayresbires, and we
brought back all the trophies
awarded by the Guernsey Cattle
club. In addition to seven trophy
cups, and numerous small prizes,
there are four scholarships of $4OO
each to be used in post graduate
work. The privilege of taking this
trip is one of the D. H. man’s fond
est ambitions while in school, and
the four men this year, as in all
previous times, will do their best to
cover themselves with glory.

The Debating Council
Last Wednesday evening, the
Debating Council met in the
Library and discussed some im
portant business. Up until the
present time the council has existed
more by precedent than anything
else. Its relation to the general
student body was not clearly defin
ed and it had no systematic sup
port. Now it is proposed that a
constitution be drawn up, that it be
subject to the criticism of the
Student Board and Student Coun
cil, and finally that it be voted on
by the students themselves. By so
doing, the council hopes to estab"
lish itself as a permanent institu
tion, to arouse a greater interest in
its particular field of work, and to
gain the support of every -man in
college.
The question to be debated in
the league this year has not as yet
been decided upon. The custom
has been that three or four schools
represented in the league shall sub
mit each a question, and that from
those three questions, the fourth
shall select the one to be debated.
It is not certainly known just which
school will have the decision, al
though it is probable that Dickin
son will have that privilege. The
question submitted by us is as fol
lows: Resolved: That the best
method for settling disputes which
arise in or betweed the republics of
America and which threaten inter
national trade relations would be
through a federation of all the re
publics of America.
For the Future Hep
A class has been started for the
instruction of non-commissioned
officers and privates. It is con
ducted by Lieutenant Bonner under
the direction of Commandant
Chafin. The object is to make bet
ter trained non-commissioned offi
cers and to prepare for advance
ment those who show interest and
ability. There is nothing compul
sory about the class, but it is
understood that those who attend
stand first in line for promotion.
L. A. Parker T 4, arrived in State
College last week. He is now em
ployed in the State Highway De
partment of Pennsylvania.
The attendance at both chapel
services next Sunday is strictly lim
ited to men.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
HARVARD MASS
MEETING
Numerous Innovations Planned.
Many Important Questions to be
Considered—Fill the Auditorium
is Slogan—All Out,
Tonight in the Auditorium a
mass meeting will be held which
will mark a new era in football
mass meetings. The first mass
meeting of the year clearly indicat
ed that the student body bad out
grown the Old Chapel. The Audi
torium will just hold the entire stu
dent body and no one will have to
return to their rooms because of
the lack of space. The football
team up to the present time has
made a remarkable record. Four
strong teams have been defeated
and the State goal line is still un
crossed. The team is deserving of
all the spirit that the student body
can work up. No matter what the
score on Saturday will be our team
will make a great impression and a
State victory is not wholly im
probable.
Mr. Fleming, who was the 1913
football manager, realizing the
value of spirit has planned a great
meeting. Robinson, Gillespie,
Schultz and the Glee Club will pro
vide some vaudeville acts. The
entire band will be on hand to pro
vide music between the acts. The
coaches, Captain Tobin and a few
other football men will make short
speeches.
A discussion will be held to find
out whether the students contem
plate going to either Lehigh or
Lafayette and which game is pre
ferred so that arrangements can be
made by the graduate manager’s
office.
Another point for consideration
will be the question of awarding
lacrosse insignia to the men who
played on the lacrosse team during
its first season. According to the
rule not a sufficient number of
games were played but inasmuch
as the sport was new that year it
has been felt that possibly an ex
ception to the rule might be made.
This mass meeting will be one of
the greatest in the history of the
school rivaling the night when, be
fore the Pitt game in 1912, Luby
made his memorable speech or the
meeting last year when Shorty Mil
ler made his last speech. At that
meeting so much enthusiasm was
aroused that an unsuccessful team
outplayed and nearly defeated one
of Pitt’s greatest teams. What will
be the effect of this meeting?
In addition to attending this
meeting it is the duty of every man
who can to be at practice this
afternoon and to be at the station
tomorrow to send the team away
with a cheer. All out.
Meet the Train
The following is a clipping from
the F. and M. weekly previous to
the Penn game—all of which goes
to show the uncertainty of football.
’’lt is hardly expected that the
team will bring home victory from
Penn tonight. Nevertheless, go
down to meet the train. Show
those fellows that you believe that
they played the hardest game they
knew how. Even then the unex
pected may happen, and we’ll have
a chance to set the town on fire
with enthusiasm. Don’t forget.”
Any men who desire interviews
with Dr. Hall can do so at the
Y. M. C. A. office.
