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.

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.

As stared in a previous issuer:
the Collegians, i 1 has been iheaim
of the Board to pUre trie Paper in
the hands of cvr-iv sru<l*-rt and
faculty mem 'er of th-- r >l'#. t ...
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.

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.
