ALL-STATE ELEVEN
Mythical Teams Picked by Prom-
inent Alumnus. First Team
Composed of Seven Captains.
♦ Kratt and Miller Only Under-
graduates.
When old alumni football stars
get together, nearly every varsity
man past or present is discussed
and given an official rating. Few
%tate graduates, if any, have heard
more of these talks and seen more
State team in action than the man
who has picked the following
teams.
At ends Yeckley 'O6 and Very
*’l3 are given the places on the first
team.
Yeckley in condition weighed
185 pounds and was like "Dex”
Very, very fast. It is generally ad
mitted that he outplayed the great
t'om Shevlin of Yale.
“DEX” VERY
Very, considered State’s greatest
end by many critics, weighed 160
♦pounds and was captain of the 1911
team.
The first tackle choice falls to
“Dad” Engle T 3, who came back
to assist in shaping the team for the
Pitt game. Engle was a great
0 player either on the offense or
defense.
For his running mate Kratt
’l7 is picked, Kratt weighs 180
pounds being 12 pounds lighter
than Engle. He is as good a de
fensive man as "Dad” but not as
great offensively.
Undoubtedly State’s best guard
was a special student, Cyphers,
graduated in June 1909 after play
ing three years of football. He
-weighed 195 pounds and was very
fast.
For his partner, Rand Miller 1917
is picked. Miller’s play this year
has been of the highest order
especially at Pitt when he outplay
-4 ed Pitt’s star guard.
State’s only All-American Camp
product is picked for center.
"Mother Dunn” captain of the 1908
team weighed 190 pounds and is
easily State’s greatest at that
4 position.
“Shorty” Miller, picked as All-
American by many critics is award
ed the quarterback position. He
weighed 145 pounds. His left
handed forward passes to Yeckley
4 or Very and his open field running
with such a great interfering back
field would make him a wonderful
asset.
His old friend “Pete” Mauthe
would care for fullback. “Pete”
would be able to "boot them over”
* from anywhere inside the 50 yard
mark; he would do all the punting
and some of the line bucking. He
is perhaps the greatest defensive
back the game has ever known.
At halfback Forkum ’O4 would
• buck the line. He weighed 192
pounds.
The other position would go to
“Bull” McCleary. “Bull” captained
the ’O7 team; was head coach in
1911; and weighed 184 pounds.
*He would be used in quick opening
plays and in off tackle run.
The second team with their
weights and class are briefly. Wil
son’l3 left end 150 pounds; Hig
gins T 8 right end 175 pounds;
Lamb T 5 right tackle 195 pounds;
“SnOKTY” MILLER
Wray ’O7 left tackle 190 pounds;
Sayre T 4 right guard 195 pounds;
Kunkle ’O7 left guard 190 pounds.
Wood ’l6 center 175 pounds;
Vorhis ’lO quarterback 192 pounds;
Hirshman TO halfback 195 pounds;
King T 4 halfback 165 pounds;
Clark T 7 fullback 175 pounds.
In the College World
Dr. A. R. Taylor, former presi
dent of the Kansas State Normal
School at Monhatan, Kan., and of
the James Milliken University of
Illinois, declared that college days
are worth about $2OO each. In
answer to the question, “Does a
college education pay?" he said
that statistics place the value of
college training at such a sum. He
also stated that the high school
education is worth $5O per day.
His reason for making these state
ments is on the ground of general
efficiency.
An honor society called the
Mortar Board has recently been es
tablished at lowa State among the
senior women students. The Mor
tar Board exists in the universities
of Michigan, Illinois. Wisconsin,
Chicago, Indiana and Cornell as
one of the strongest honorary or
ganizations for women. The aim
of the board is to be of practical
service to all college girls. The or
ganization has done much in the
colleges where it is in vogue.
Harvard students were not per
mitted to carry their banners at the
Harvard-Michigan game because a
new Massachusetts state law pro
hibits the carrying of red flags.
The law is said to have been aimed
at the socialists but it was ruled
that it applied to the studes as well.
Yes, that’s some law.
At Rutgers a plan is under way
to form an interscholastic debating
society. Debates will be scheduled
among prep schools in New Jersey,
and later a final contest will be held
at the college. It is believed that
this plan will be very helpful in se
curing good material for the college
debating team.
Only 38 men at Yale University
are entitled to wear the coveted Y.
Of these, 14 are football men, 11 of

five athletes have won their Y in
two sports while no one has com
peted with success in two major
sports.
During the fiscal year 1913-1914
the university of Cornell extended
or incurred obligations for over a
hundred and sixty-five thousand
dollars more than its available in
come. The following figures are
worth noting: Total income for
the year $2,425,781; amount receiv
ed from the students $535,346;
deficit $165,514; productive funds
$13,973,542; Carnegie Pension fund

makes the fifth of its kind. Simi
lar publications are: The Sibley

The Cornell Countryman and The
Cornell Chemist.
Three new stadiums have been
built by different universities this
year. Princeton, Yale and Lehigh
have all constructed huge, concrete
stands to accommodate the large
crowds that witness athletic con
tests. Harvard has had, for a long
time, a splendid stadium. One was
constructed at Seattle by the gratu
itous contributions of the town folk,
and Syracuse has recently built
one.
Chancellor Samuel Black McCor
mick, of the University of Pitts
burgh, attended a meeting of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad
vancement of Teaching in New
York last week. He is a trustee of
this foundation.
Prof. Coswell H. Johnson, of the
school of mines, University of
Pittsburgh, in a recent lecture pre
sented the grounds for believing
that the supply of natural gas in
Pennsylvania is not declining and
probably will not decline for sever
al years. Many deer pockets of
gas still remain unopened, he said.
The production of oil in this state,
however, has been declining for
several years.
Students in the evening school of
the University of Pittsburgh are
planning a banquet for early in

After its experience of last year
when 90 students enrolled in the
first credit course on the liquor
problem, the University of Soutn
ern California has decided to offer
a similar course in the department
of economics and sociology annual
ly. The course is offered both
semesters and one unit of credit is
allowed.
The University Bulletin states
that "after a brief consideration of
its physiological and psycho-phys
ical aspects attention is devoted to
the economic and social phases of
the alcohol problem, with special
reference to American conditions.
An examination of the leading pro
posals for control or elimination is
also made.” Dr. Rockwell D.
Hunt, head of the department and
teacher of the course, says that he
believes the time is rpe to educate
for an adequate solution, which
means total elimination of the drink
traffic.
