PI.NN STATE VOLUME 11 NUMBER 16 HARLOW SUCCEEDS HOLLENBACH Couching System Entirely Changed Whitney, of Dartmouth, Appoint ed Advisory Coach—Freshman Position Undecided - System Ex- pected to be Best Evolved. The Alumni Advisory committee on athletics, after an extended in vestigation of local conoitions and of methods in force in other institu tions, has just announced the sys tem of football coaching which is to become effective next Septem ber when the recently adopted one year residence rule will become operative. The new system differs considerably from the old in scope and form. The elimination ot first year men fiom intercollegiate com petition pieserits a new problem in the development of athletic mater ial which is to be met by a com prehensive c mrse of training for freshmen and second string men not only during the fall season but also throughout the winter and spring. In its form of organization the new system provides for re sponsible supervision and direction not only for the playing season but for the entire college year, it affords the benefits of having Penn State graduates on the coaching staff without suffering the evils of the so-called “graduate system"; and by having as one member of the staff a graduate ol broad foot ball experience trom another col lege it operates to bring to the Penn State style of play thebest ideas of other football systems: " The formal coaching staff will consist of a head coach, who will be in charge of football activity throughout the year, an advisory coach, who will assist with the \ar sity squad, and a freshman coach. One of the assistant coaches will probably be retained throughout the college year and in addition to football work will take charge of basket ball or one ol the other minor sports. It is also planned to occasionallv call in for periods of a week or two prominent football authorities of the east to consult with the coaching staff. P'ormer Penn State players will also return for short periods at the invitation of the head coach. “Dick” Harlow, Penn State, T 3, has been chosen to fill the position of head coach, his appointment be coming effective at once to run through the year 1915-16. Har low’s fame as a tackle on the 1910 and 1911 teams makes his name familiar to all followers of Penn State athletics. His subsequent work as assistant coach of the 19111, 1913 and 1914 teams and his effect ive efforts in the spring develop ment work of the past two years give promise of greater succes in this position of enlarged responsi bilities. For the position of advisory coach the Alumni committee has chosen Lawrence W. Whitney, Dartmouth, T 5. “Bud” Whitney began a remarkable athletic career at Worcester (Mass.) academy where he competed on the football, baseball and track teams. At Dartmouth he has been on the var sity football, basketball and track teams. Last fall Whitney was cap tain of football and during the com ing season will captain Dartmouth's track team. In 1912 he was on the American Olympic team to Stockholm where he took third I COLLEGE PHYSICIAN' place in the shot put.

BASKET BALL TRIP SUCCESSFUL Varsity Defeats Westiughouse, and W. and J., Last Year’s Cham pions; Loses to Pittsburgh. The varsity basket ball trip to Pittsbuigh and Washington was a "decided success. On Thursday evening the strong Westinghouse Athletic Club team was met and defea'ed upon their home door by a S 5-24 score. The Amateur Ath letic union tor a time threatened to stop the game but these objections were eliminated when the State five were signed up in the Amateur Athletic union. Next day the team jnetanddefeated, W. and r .l Jr at Washington. The superior team work of State was responsible for the victory. State led at the end of the first half by a 10 to 7 score. In the second half three straight baskets enabled W. and J to crawl up upon, but not overcome State’s margin. The team was shown every courtesy both at the West inghouse Athletic club and at W. and J. Both games were fast but clean, good officials weie pro vided, and the home teams well satisfied. The last game of the trip was played with Pitt Saturday night. The game was fast and hard fought, but the team wotk so in evidence the two preceding nights was strangely lacking and at the finish Pitt lead by one basket arid a foul goal, score 35-32. Harrisburg High 30, Freshtes 26 For the second time in two years Harrisburg High won fiom State Freshies in basket ball when they defeated the freshman five in the Armory last Saturday, score 30-26. The prep school lads started off with a rush and almost before the freshmen realized it, had piled up 19 points. Then with a changed lineup the freshmen braced and played around their opponents. The first half ended 19-10 with the visitors on the long end. In the second half the freshmen got 16 points against the visitors 11. Band Concerts. Due to the lack of an open date and to the fact that examinations are near at hand, the band has been unable to give concerts as often as desired. It is thought that during the second semester, the band will give concerts much more frequently than beloie. Columbia University is thinking of taking up football again next year.
