SOPHOMORES LOSE 12-0
Freshmen Fail to Fully Show Re
puted Strength.
The sophomores, although de
feated last Satunday on Beaver
field in the annual scrap game, de
serve a great amount of credit in
holding their heavier opponents to
such a low score. Numerous times
with their goal in danger they turn
ed back the line smasher, Eaton,
the end running, Clark, or they
broke up a pass. Eliminating an
unfortunate fumble by Burns, the
game would have ended in a 6-0
The ability of both teams in the
fundamentals of the game reflects
great ci edit to both coaches, con
sidering their inability to keep to
gether a combination throughout
the season.
The size of the score is no indi
cation of the ground gaining ability
of the freshmen. Between the 25
yard lines the wearers of the green
gained at will. Eaton was particu
larly able to pierce the line but a
good fullback on the sophomore
team would have reduced his effi-
Houtz, while he was in the game,
starred for the sophs. Burns and
Hallowell also played good games
for 1917.
1918 had little difficulty in gain
ing in the first half ar.d were only
held scoreless by the alertness of
Houtz who broke up three of their
passes inside his 8 yard line. The
sophs only threatened to score once
when Fair recovered a punt on the
freshman 32 yard line. At this
time a try at field goal failed.
Tne freshmen scored in the mid
dle of the third period by the line
plunges of Eaton and the end run
ning of Clark and Gross. In the
early fourth period Eaton, Clark
and Gross carried the ball to the 5
yard line where the sophs held for
downs. Shortly after Burns fum
bled a kick and T 8 recovered on
the sophs 14 yard line and on five
triesthe last touchdown was scored.

-TWhitehair’s Visit to State.”’"
—When a big, husky man like
Charley Whitehair hits Penn State
you can make up your mind that
there is something doing, and when
"Charley" hands out his big, husky
message you can also assure your
self that there is some thinking
done. Whitehair certainly made a
deep impression upon the student
body, but who would not be im
pressed by such an enthusiastic
man as we had with us over Sun
day. During his visit here, Mr.
Whitehair spoke at both chapels,
at the 6:30 meeting, to the Student
Volunteers and to a number of
groups which met at various places.
The keynote to his wonderful in
fluence over men is his own life,
and the deep sincerity of purpose
for which that life stands. As an
interesting speaker, as a jolly good
companion, and as a true, Christian
man, Charley Whitehair stands
high in the rank. His broad ex
perience as a Y. M. C. A. secre
tary in India furnishes him with an
abundance of material, intensely in
teresting as he tells it, which he
presents in the most sincere and
forceful manner. In his advice to
college men he is very frank and in
dead earnest. His plea for a “clean
Pittsburgh” was the plea of a man’s
better self for a square deal to all
concerned. The men at State are
fortunate in having such a man vis
it the college, and it goes without
saying that he will always receive a
hearty welcome.
Bingham Entertains Large Audience
The second Y. M. C. A. show
was presented Saturday night by
Mr. Ralph Bingham, the noted
humorist. Bingham certainly
proved himself to be the prince of
entertainers. From the moment he
appeared before the audience to the
close of his last number, the au
dience was kept in almost a con
tinual roar of laughter. The hum
orous numbers were interspersed
with several serious selections and a
violin so'o in which the performer
showed himself to be an artist who
can interpret the more serious
things in life. Bingham is a past
master of Negro and Irish dialect,
but his strongest point lies in his
ability to tell a story, and tell it in
such a way that no one can do any
thing but laugh.
Gloe Club Concert at “Pitt",
