Penn State VOLUME 11 NUMBER 7 PENN STATE MACHINE COMPLETELY OUTPLAYS HARVARD IN TIE GAME. Harvard Luck Turns Well Earned Victory of Captain Tobin’s Team Into a Tie Score. Sportsmanship of Opponents Unexcelled. Papere Con sider Some State Hen All-American Caliber. State Line Invinci- Backfield Fast. Secondary Defense Harvard’s Only Strength. Outplaying Harvard in every de partment of the game and leading by seven points up to one minute before the final whistle, Captain Tobin’s team surprised the football world by tying the great crimson eleven in the Harvard Stadium on Saturday. The reasons for the showing of the team as outlined by Hollenback were the splendid mass meeting on Wednesday, the physical condition of the team', and the fact that besides being fighters the team was composed of men who did not know defeat. The finest incident of the entire trip occurred immediately after the game in the dressirg room. Not since 1911 has a team even had the distinction of tying Harvard or of carrying home the football. Cus tom decrees that the home team LOCKE, Guard keeps the ball in a tie game, but the true sportsmanship of the greatest university of the land ap peared in the contest on Saturday when Captain Trumbull compli mented Captain Tobin on his team’s showing and presented him with the first ball to leave the Stadium since 1911. Athletic re lations with Harvard and Penn State have only begun but so far as Penn State is concerned the student body appreciates such sportsmanship and hopes for a con tinuation of relations in more lines of athletic endeavor than football alone. Fully 16,000 spectators had as sembled in the Harvard Stadium to see the Crimson trample Penn State when they were stunned by a State score in the first three min utes ot play. The stands even seemed confident when seven mort points were added to the wearers of the blue jerseys after a beautiful forward pass to Thomas and an off-tackle play by Clark. Confi dence increased when the Harvard team fell on a fumble on the State nine yard line from where Coolidge caught a forward pass. However, gloom began to appear in the fourth period when Tobin caught a forward pass and made possible Lamb’s second field goal. With one minute and eight seconds to play, the crowd seemed to admit defeat and started to leave the stands when a crimson linesman fell on a fumbled punt in midfield. Coach Leary sent in Wilcox, a man who has a record for the quarter mile of 48 4-5 seconds. Harvard lined up with the left tackle on the right side. The ball was passed to the quarter who passed it to the rear half and the backfield started around right end. One yard from the line of scrim mage the right end took the ball and started around left end. As he reached the line Barron tackled him but as he was tackled he made a lateral pass to Wilcox who was near the side lines and the speedy back started to sprint. Two state men narrowly missed him and Wood tackled him three yards from the goal line. The momen tum carried the ball over the line and Harvard was saved from de feat after Withington scored a goal from touchdown. This wonderful play beautifully executed ended one of State's most fiercely con tested games. With the exception of Thomas, who will be out of the game for two weeks with a dislocated elbow, every man is in fine condition. The fierceness of the game is well shown by the fact that captain To bin lost eight pounds, Miller 12 pounds and the entire team nearly a like amount. Harvard won the toss and Lamb kicked off to Francke who returned the ball to the 30 yard line. Brad lee failed to gain and Harvard after being penalized kicked to James who returned the ball six yards to the State 40 yard line. James made six. around end and Clark three yards through the line. Tobin then carried the ball to Har vard’s 25 yard line on one of the beautiful end runs which character ized his great work of the after noon. A line smash and a forward pass failed. Lamb then kicked a beautiful goal from the 42 yard line. Tobin received the next kick-off and ran the ball to his 30 yard line. State could not gain and kicked. After an exchange of kicks Har vard carried the ball into State territory where McKinlock tried a field goal. James caught the ball on his five yard line and ran to the 40 yard line. Clark, James and Tobin added 15 yards. On the next play James shot a forward pass to the Harvard 20 yard line. Higgins jumped and just touched the ball enough to knock it toward Thomas, who caught it on the 18 yard line. Tobin made five yards and then Clark smashed through the Harvard left tackle for a touch down. James heeled the puntout and Lamb kicked the goal. Score, Penn State 10 Harvard 0. In re- STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBER 28, 1914 ceiving the forward pass Thomas was hurt and Barron took his States only chance to score in the second period was an unsuccessful field goal attempt by Lamb from the 53 yard line. The ball fell short and Harvard put the ball in play on her 20 yard line. After an exchange of punts Harvard ob tained the ball in midfield. Neith er team seemed to be able to score and both sides restoed to punting. With less than one minute to play BRADLEE, Harvard Back Courtesj ot Boston Herald and the ba’l on yard line, Clark plunged through right tackle. Francke tackled him so hard that he lost the ball to Har vard on a fumble. In three plays the crimson lost a yard and a half and then came a forward pass. Coolidge stood about four inches from the end zone and reaching out caught the ball just as Clark tack led him. The half ended after two more plays. The third and fourth periods was full of fine punts and thrilling run ning back of punts particularly by James. In the middle of the fourth period Tobin by a great jump caught a Harvard pass and ran to their 29 yard line. Clark and Tobin made six but State was pen alized five yards. Lamb then stood on the 30 yard line and kicked his second field goal from a difficult angle. The heart-breaking run of Wilcox terminated the contest. While a Boston writer mentions Tobin, Lamb, James, Higgins and Clark as All-American candidates, every State man played a great game. The five men named played brilliantly but the other six did al so. The line play of our team is shown by the fact that Harvard in 72 rushes gained 95 yards and totaling gains and losses Harvard gained but two yards. The new manager of the Nittany theater, Mr. Blackford, accom panied the team to Harvard but was refused permission to take pic tures in the Stadium by the Har vard Athletic Association, He did, however, secure several hun dred feet of pictures at the team’s training quarters at Auburndale and when they were leaving for the Stadium. After the game the team was banqueted at Young’s Hotel by the New England alumni. Speeches Continued e* p*g* 4 Collegian. CALENDAR Wednesday, October 28 7:00 p. m.

Freshman Lacrosse For the past few weeks the fresh men who have been out for la crosse have succeeded in using the stick very well and have developed quite rapidly in the points of the game. The following men have been chosen to represent 1918, but they are by no means certain of their positions and a good man will always be given a chance to show his worth: i. h„ Schanty; o. h., Loyd; i. a., Dean; 2a., Edwards; 3a., Holyer, c., Coon, Capt.; 3d., Cook; 2d.. Smith; Id., Mueller; c. p., Krotyer; p., Henry; g., Hoffer. At the first meeting of the fresh man class Montgomery was elected manager and he in conjunction with the other class managers has ar ranged the following schedule: November 7 —1916 vs. 1915. November 7 —1917 vs. 1915. November 14 —1916 vs. 1918. November 14 —1915 vs. 1917. November 21—1915 vs. 1918. November 21 —1916 vs. 1917. Underclassmen WreEtlers Busy A joint workout in preparation for the coming meet between 1917 and 1918 was held in the Armory last Friday evening. The number of spectators and the number of men reporting for work gave evi dence of the growing interest which will reach its climax on the Saturday evening following Penn sylvania Day, when the two teams meet in their annual contest. As a rule the second year men count on their previous experience to aid them in attaining victory, but judg ing from the manner in which the new men are working such pre sumption is likely to fail. But one week remains before the prelim inary trials take place. ‘‘Doc’’ Lewis is giving his time to the work in the evening, and the two managers are anxious to have a still larger number of candidates out. The Civic Club The Civic club held its regular bi-weekly meeting last Thursday evening. One or two matters of business were brought before the club. Dr. Ashworth spoke on the new banking system and his ex planation was both interesting and instructive. Keller and Horst gave the current events of the past two weeks. The program for the next meeting is not yet ready and will be announced latter. The three short Y. W. C. A. plays, ‘‘Carrots’’, "The Far Away Princess”, and “The Deaf Model” will be given Saturday, November 14. PRICE FIVE CENTS DR. HALL VISITS STATE Speaks to Fifteen Hundred Men in One Meeting. The lectures by Dr. Winfield S. Hall of Northwestern university were largely attended. On Satur day evening Dr. Hall spoke on the psychology of child life. “Every human being in his development from infancy to maturity repeats the psychic and social history of his race”, said he, in introducing his subject on the “Sex life of Man”. Dr. Hall pictured the race de velopment of man through tbeprim eval stage, the stages of savagery, barbarism, chivalry and civilization, and pointed out their similarity to the successive stages in the life of a man—of infancy, early childhood, pre-adolescence, adolescence and manhood. Dr. Hall said that an intelligent appreciation of this sim ilarity and careful training of the boy in his vulgar, pre-adolescent or barbaric stage would do much to simplify the social and moral problems. On Sunday, Dr. Hall spoke at both chapels to an interested audience in both cases. Sunday evening the Auditorium was crowd ed to standing room with 1500 students who listened to his address on Social Hygiene. During his visit here, Dr. Hall in terviewed many men personally, and spoke to a number of group meetings. H's stay at State is much appreciated, and has been very helpful. Penn vs. State The results of the State time trials and Penn’s victory over Dart mouth indicate that the meet be tween these rivals on Saturday in cross country will be a close contest. This is the only contest of the fall in which State will have an opportunity to demonstrate her prowess over the Philadelphians. The start and finish of the race will be at New Beaver Field, just be fore the returns of the Lafayette contest. Every man who turns out to cheer will aid considerably in re covering some of the glory lost in football last year. The trials on Saturday indicate that Coach Martin is slowly bring ing the men into the finest possible condition. Humble bettered bis mark of last week by nearly two full minutes and Schroeder was only two-fifths of a second in the rear. It seems probable that the following men will start the race: Humble, Schroeder, Hunter, E. E„ Entwistle, Fisher, A. E., Bat ten, Texter, Farley, Hunter R. V., and Whiting. While the Penn team had little difficulty in defeating Dartmouth the time was not fast enough to be lieve that they will lead the Penn State men to the tape. Pennsyl vania will arrive on Friday evening and will probably be quartered at fraternity houses. Freshman Class Meeting The freshmen met in the Old Chapel last Thursday evenirg. They decided to pay John Clark for his services as coach of their football team. Louis and Connell were elected soccer and basketball managers, respectively. Those nightly serenades in the ghost walk are appreciated but how about holding them a little earljer in the evening.
