Penn State VOLUME 11 NUMBER 10 MICHIGAN AGGIES WIN Entire Party From We>t Make Fine Impression—Handling of Crowd a Credit to Graduate Manager. Morris, Dippe and Yerger Play Improved Game—Visitor’s Full- back and Left End All-American Material, One of the cleanest and hardest fought football games in which a State team ever participated re sulted in a 6-3 Michigan Aggie vic tory last Friday afternoon before the largest crowd ever assembled on Beaver Field. Michigan may well be proud of all her representatives that cime east. The game itself was absolutely devoid of rough ness; the Aggie band was a wonder fully well trained organization; the spirit of the rooters was fine; and best of all every man was a thor ough gentleman. While a contract with Lehigh preverts a return game next year, the student body hopes that athletic relations will be re newed in the near future. The game, which marked the second defeat ever received on New Beaver Field, probably caused more discussion on generalship than any game in the last two or three years. The necessity of giving Captain Tobin a chance to star was ridiculous, for he does not need such a chance. Few, if any, cap tains have had the confidence which the student body has in him. He has been the brains, the keystone in fact of every State game he has been in. His absence has always made the game doubly harder to win. But Captain Tobin was no* in condition. No man two days out of a hospital could have been. The point of discussion among the students is why was he elected to carry the ball with such men as Kratt, Welty and Dippe on the field. Even more ludicrous was “DAD” ENGLE the sight of a pair of badly burned ard bandaged hands holding a ball for a placement kick. This great player, however, will be in condition soon and the Pitts burg team will find a far different squirming twisting back than was thrown back by Michigan. One of the best features was the improved play of Yerger, Dippe and Morris and the minimum amount of fum bling. State threatened to score early. Lamb kicked off to Michigan’s IS yard line and they carried it back to the 25 yard line. On the next play Lamb blocked a punt and State recovered on the Michigan 20 yard line. The Michigan line held, however, and took the ball on downs. After .an exchange of kicks Straight, of the Aggies, re- covered a fumbled punt on State’s IS yard line. They could not gain, however, and a field goal failed. A little later poor headwork by the Michigan quarter enabled State to take the ball on downs on Michi gan’s 30 yard line. A couple of line plunges, a forward to Lamb, and a great line smash by Dippe carried the ball to the 3 yard line where Michigan stopped Tobin six inches from a touchdown. After an exchange of punts Mici igan car ried the ball on a beautiful end run 65 yards to State’s 15 yard line. In four plays Julian carded the ball over for a tonchdown. The goal was missed. The half ended short ly with Michigan holding the ball on her own 40 yard line. State scored early in the third period. After an exchange of kicks a State man caught a short kick on Michigan's 45 yard line ard ran 30 yards Three attempts at the line netted five yards and Lamb kicked a field goal. Limb kicked off to Michigan’s 10 yard line and the ball was re turned 15 yards I hey started a line, plunging game and made three successful first downs before State held. An exchange of kicks fol lowed in which State profited by a 15 yard return by James. With the ball in midfield Michigan intti cepted a State forward. They could not gain and punted to our 21 yard line. Two line plays failed and then Yerger broke through tackle for 25 yards. A long trial at a field goal failed and the quart er ended. A great kick of 70 yards by Lamb put Michigan on the defense. Neither team could gain and Michigan kicked to midfield. Two plays gained five yards and then Ewing added 25 yards on a for ward. Two more plays carried the ball to the 12 yard line. Tobin made only one yard and a poor pass coupled with his bandaged hands made an attempt at a field goal impossible. Shortly after a State fumble ended further chances for a score.

Time of quarters, 15 minutes Bon Fires Abolished At the regular Wednesday morn ing mass meeting, of November 11, the student body in accordance with the recommendations of the Student Council voted in favor of abolishing the practice of celebrat ing a great athletic victory by a bon fire as has been customary up until the present time. The reasons advanced for the action — waste of money, danger to com munity, the raising of insurance rates for college buildings—were irrefutable, and a talk from “Pete" Mauthe clinched the argument STATE COLLEGE, PAV' NOVEMBER 18, 1914 C. W. WHITEHAIR COMING SUNDAY Prominent in Undergraduate Days in Athletics—Successful in For- eign Mission Fields—Recently Elected Secretary at Cornell. Mr. Whitehair, of Cornell Univer sity, will be in charge of the various Christian association meet ings next Saturday and Sunday. He recently returned from the general secretaryship o f the Mad ras, India, Young Men's Christian Association, and is a graduate of De Pauw University, class of 1909. In college he was a leader in all forms of university sclivities, par ticularly athletics. He was presi- CHARLES W. WHITEHAIR dent of his class, a member of the varsity f lotball team, and field marshal of the annual college cele bration during his junior and senior years; president of the University Christian Association and chairman of the Bible Study Committee. Upon graduation Mr. Whitehair accepted an appointment as student secretary in the college department of the Kansas State Committee of Young Men’s Christian Associa tions, in which capacity he traveled among the colleges, aiding them in organizing and promoting their woik. In January, 1912, Mr. Whitehair sailed for India, and he was fulfill ing every promise of a strikingly successful career when called home for reasons of family health. He was national secretary of Young Men’s Christian Associations throughout Southern India, and in this capacity he displayed unusual ability, both financial and religious, in the direction of a large work. At the same time he served as gen eral secretary of the Madras Asso ciation. He has traveled amorg the uni versities constantly in the last three months in the employ of the inter national committee. Altogether, Mr. Whitehair has visited, at one time or another, more than one hun dred associations in this country in the inteiests of their work. Mr. Whitehair’s personality is strong and unusually attractive. His mes sage is a compelling one- the prod uct of a life conviction, first-hand knowledge, and the ability to state the case. The Knipe Fund Some time ago pledges of contri butions to the Knipe fund were made by many fellows. Up to this time but little of this money has been collected and it is greatly needed. It is urged that all men who have made pledges of support to this fund contribute at once. Collegian. CALENDAR Thursday, November 11) 6:45 p. m. Civil* Glut*, Room 202 En- Ruildmu.

At present, th-r- ->re 1,201) npies issued weekly Ot ills number a small percentage rep'e«ems paid subscriptions; another small fiaction represents those who have express ed the : r w.llinguess to take the pa per and have given their word to that effect. In former years the pap-r was sent to the student body with the understanding that the person who lifted the paper bom the post office department was a subscriber. The result was that many never ‘ound it convenient to settle for the prescribed amount. Insofar as possible, this policy has been adhered to this y» ar. There are, however, persons who have no intentions of subscribing for the paper, yet who have receiv ed 10 issues, or nearly a third of the total for the year. The efficiency of a college publication is closely allied with the percentage of the student body reading the paper. The Collegian should be the mouth piece of the student body, should voice its stntiments within the body itself, and to the outside, world. If but a small percentage keep in touch with the activities of the college, as set forth in the columns, the possi bilities of that paper are limited. If you are interested in a repre sentative paper, you have your part to do. If you are unable to receive it and pay for it in due time, you will help by seeing that your name is dropped from the mailing list. If you have no inter est in it at all, dont allow its con tinuance but send the circulation manager word to that eff-ct. Bert Barron 111 Barron's arm became infected with blood poisoning on Saturday night and fainting spells left him in a weakened condition. He was taken to the Bellefonte hospital Monday and operated on. Just how badly the poison has entered his system is still a question. It is very doubtful if he can get into the Pittsburg game. Professor Bouche will address the Civic Club on Thursday even ing on the high cost of living as affected by present conditions. The talk will undoubtedly be a profitable one, and all members are urged to be present. PRICE FIVE CENTS CHAPLAIN REED’S RESIGNATION Announcement Comes as a Shock to Town and College Alike—Prob- ably the Best Liked Man Con- nected With ihe College. No man connected with our col stands in higher esteem among the student body than does our chap lain, Rev. Robert Reed. Since everybody knows him simply as “Bob" Reed, it seems to sound bet ter to speak of him in (he latter way. “Bob” has had quite a num ber of opportunities to accept the pastorship of prominent churches throughout the country, and hereto fore has always declined, but re cently a call ran e to him to be come the p.i'tor r.f ihe fjrorge McKinley Memorial University Presb>:ciian Church at 'he Univer sity of Illinois, wnicu he has accepted, resulting Ins r’esent position as cnapiain at the Pcnnsyl vania State Co lege Tne news or *'H «bV resignation reach's the stu'em body with many rtgr-p- at tee thought of his departuie .Suite he began his work at this colli ge in October of 1911, "Bib" has made a host of friends, and there is no student but who has a good word to speak for him. By his co genial manner and strong personality, and most of all by his consecrated life ho has won many men to the Christian life; in addition to this he has instilled into the entire student body nobler as pirations and higher ideals of true manhood. The new work assigned to him also deals with student life. The-e are 4500 students at the University of Illinois, which is located between the cities of Urbana and Cham paign. The students of the various denominations have separate de nominational churches which they attend, there being no compulsory chapel at the university. At the McKinley Memorial Presbyterian Church nearly a thousand students hold their membership during their college course. Two services are conducted here daily in addition to various meetings during the week. The church has an endowment fund of $60,000 and a building which cost $50,000. "Bob" will have charge of the work in this church, and will also cooperate with the Young Men’s Christian Association in the general Christian activities of the university. The date of his departure for the western university has not been definitely decided upon, but his last service here will probably be on December 6. Both Mr. and Mrs. Reed will be greatly missed in our college community. It will be remembered that Mrs. Reed was formerly Miss Ruth Bottorf, of the music department at this college. The Collegian voices the sentiment of the student body in saying that their departure will be a distinct loss to our college, which, however, will be a decided gain to the Uni versity of Illinois. The students of that university are to be highly con gratulated in securing the services of “Bob” Reed. Important c euiir Meeting. A meeting of the senior class will be held in Old Chapel at 6:30 Thursday evenirg. This is an im portant meeting and it is the du'y of every member to be present.
