1917 WINS PUSHBALL SCRAP
Freshmen Fail to Follow Ball—New
Ruling Proves Unsatisfactory. J
The sophomores did not have (
much trouble in winning the push- j
ball scrap last Saturday, although
the score of 6 to 1 seems to indi- (
cate a rather good fight on the part ,
of the freshmen. With only one or .
two exceptions 1917 was on the
offensive and apparently were able ,
to control the direction of the ball
without any difficulty. In several
instances the freshman line held,
but at such times a flank movement I
again started the ball down the
field toward their goal.
Briefly, the play was somewhat
as follows: The sophs started down
the field with the ball against feeble
resistance, carrying it to the 10
yard line where it was pushed out
of bounds. The treshman line held
and no great gain was made in the
next few minutes. The ball was
then grounded on a flank movement
and, on resuming the scrap, was
carried across the field and in a few
minutes pushed across the fresh
man goal line. In the next few
minutes of play the freshmen suc
ceeded in keeping the ball in soph
omore territory when the period
ended. In the second period the
freshmen held very well and little
or no gain was made in the first
four minutes. The sophs then
started a mirch down the field.
After a little scrapping the ball was
again sent across the freshman line.
This period ended with the ball in
freshman territory. During the last
period the fighting was strongest
and 1917 was unable to cross its
opponent’s goal line. This period
also ended with the ball in fresh
man territory.
The sophomores owe their vic
tory to the superior work of the
men on top and to their ability to
keep the mass of their men directly
in back of the ball. The freshmen
lacked aggressiveness. Only one
or two men were injured and their
injuries were of a very trivial
nature.
The new ruling providing for a
lining-up of the two classes IS
yards distant from the ball proved
to be unsatisfactory in that every
time the ball was poised ready for
the starting signal it was grounded
before the two classes could come
s together. It would seem that the
rules governing previous pushball
. scraps are to be preferred.

of the students of Penn State has
just been compiled and is as fol
lows:

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Varsity Basketball
This year the prospects look
very bright for a successful'basket
ball season. From the freshman
class alone a wealth of good mater
ial has reported. These new men
play a promising game and may
easily be developed into first line
varsity material. The old men
who have returned are: Park
(Capt.), Wilson, Metzger, Jester
and Walton. The regular varsity
practice begins in the Armory on
November 18. The coach for the
team will probably be Mr. Taggert,
of Harrisburg. The management
is now trying very hard to secure
him for the coming season. With
Taggert as coach and Park as cap
tain it is expected that Penn State
will be in first at the finish for the
Intercollegiate League champion
ship.
The schedule, which has been
arranged for this season, is long
and hard and contains some of the
best teams in the country. It is as
follows:
December 12, Juniata, at State
College.
January 9, Lehigh, at State Col
lege.
January 12, West Virginia Wes
leyan, at State College.
January 14, Westinghouse Club,
at Pittsburgh.
January 15, Washington and Jef
ferson, at Washington, Pa.
January 16, University of Pitts
burgh, at Pittsburgh.
January 31, Gettysburg, at State
College.
February 5, Washington and Jef
ferson, at State College.
February 13, Michigan Aggies,
at State College f negotiating,!.
February 18, Swarthmore, at
Philadelphia.
February 19, Georgetown, at
Washington, D. C.
February 20, Navy, at Annapolis.
February 27, University of Pitts
burgh, at State College.
March 6, Lafayette, at State
College.
There will also be an interclass
basketball league. The managers
of the different class teams have
already been elected, but as yet a
definite schedule for the interclass
games has not been arranged.
Interclass Wrestling Meet
The date of the interclass wrest
ling scrap has been set for Novem
ber 14, or the Saturday after Penn
sylvania Day. The scrap will be
held in the Armory at seven
o’clock. Seats will be put up on
all four sides; the side toward Old
Main will be reserved for 1917, the
opposite side for 1918; and the
seats at each end will be reserved
for visitors. Sections may be re
served by applying to either of the
class managers, R. E. Hoffer, Pi
Kappa Alpha house, or J. A. Gates,
222 West Beaver.
The Civic Club
The Civic Club will meet in room
202, Engineering Building, at 6:45
next Thursday evening. The pro
gram should be one of profit and
interest. Wolfe and Zarnke will
discuss current events; Gregg and
Perry will discuss the recent elec
tions.
A cafateria will be held at the
Presbyterian church, Friday, No
vember 6, f rom five to seven
o’clock. Proceeds are for benefit
of the Belgian sufferers.
