TAKE FIVE STRAIGHT
Team Returns Undefeated From
Southern Trip. Take First Home
Game From Susquehanna 7-1.
Pitchers Going Very Good. Ef
fect of Practice Evident Upon
Base-Running.
With five teams met and defeat
ed, the baseball team has fully
lived up to the banner year predict
ed for it so far. Too much credit
cannot be given to our trio of
pitchers, Hesselbacher, Wardwell,
and Liebert. In every game they
have passed out gilt-edged ball and
been the deciding factor for suc
cess. In five games these three
have struck out 52, while opposing
pitchers have struck out five
straight men, an enviable record.
Wardwell pitched a wonderful
game against A. &M. who lost
their first game to State, when he
struck out 13 men and allowed only
two hits out of the infield. It
might be interesting to note that in
these first five games, that State
men hit safely 31 times to 17 of
their opponents and stole 10 bases,
just twice as many their opponents.
The season was opened with the
Navy at Annapolis March 31. “Big”
George Hesselbacher was in the
box and held the midshipmen to
four hits. The Navy’s only rally
came in the second when Calhoun
walked and scored on a triple by
Moran. State gathered three runs
in the first: Crawford singled,
Bachman got on by an error at
second, Josefson walked and then
Kominars uncorked a two-bagger
which scored all three. The other
tally came in the eighth when
Kominars again hit for two bases
and scored on a single by Blythe.
The next game with A & M was
a pitcher’s battle between Ward
well and Jaynes. Wardwell had
the better of the argument. He al
lowed three scattered hits and
struck out 13 batsmen in nine in
nings. The only tally of the game
was the result errors in the ninth.
The third game was played with
Trinity at Durham N. C. Liebert
was in the box and allowed four
singles. State score two runs in
the first inning when Blythe got on
by a fielder’s choice and scored on
a two-bagger by Robison. Robin
son in turn scored when Kom
inars singled. Trinity collected
their only score in the fourth in
ning when Siler singled, advanced
on a sacrifice by Horne and scored
when Maddox singled.
The last game of the trip was
played with the Catholic University
at Washington. “Big” George was
again on the mound. He allowed
but four hits, all singles, and struck
out 12 men. State’s two tallies
again came in the first inning.
Crawford walked and advanced one
when Blythe sacrificed. Josefson
then tripled scoring Crawford, and
scored on a sacrifice to second by
Robinson.
The Washington and Lee game
was not played because of storm,
and wet grounds prevented the
game scheduled with Swarthmore.
Wardwell pitched the first game
on New Beaver last Saturday. He
struck out eleven men, allowed but
two hits, and was never in serious
trouble. In addition to touching
up the two visiting slabmen for H
hits State was credited with four
stolen bases.
Crawford opened the last half of
the third with a Texas leaguer back
of third. He was well started for
second when Blythe hit to second,
who missed Crawford and threw to
first who was not on the bag.
Josefson spoiled two, and then hit
to second forcing Blythe. Robin
son now hit short to the pitcher
and he threw home to catch Craw
ford who slid safe. The catcher
threw to second to nail Robinson
who slid safe, and second returned
the ball to catch Josefson, who
slid home safe, while Robinson
stole third. Kominar squeezed
Robison in and Bachman was out,
catcher to first.
State added three more hits in
the fifth an a bundle of hits.
In the sixth Peters, who replaced
Goble on the mound, walked
Blythe, the first man up, who stole
second and scored when Kominars
singled.
Susquehanna’s only score came
in the seventh inning. Wardwell
hit Swope the first man up, and
then struck out Long. Peters hit
through third and put Swope on
second. Wardwell struck out
Harkins. Phillips then hit to
Blythe, who threw low through
Robinson and Swope scored. Go
ble fouled out to Vogt.

STATE COLLEGE, PA.i APRIL 14, 1915
DEATH OF TRUSTEE
BLOW TO COLLEGE
James Edwin Quigley, Class of
1894, Prominent and Successful
Graduate —Deep Loss to Every
Department of College Life,
Penn State lost a v«ry powerful
friend when James Edwin Quigley
’94, succumbed to ar attack of (
pneumonia in his hon e at Pitts
burgh. As a member of the ad- j
visory committee of athletics from
the inauguration of thft body and
member of the executive commit- 1
tee of the board of truitees he has 1
always had a big influence in the
improvement of Penn S ate.
He entered the preparatory de- ;
partment in 1889 and graduated in
mechanical engineering in 1894. As
an undergraduate he managed the
college paper and the football
team. He was secre ary of the
Athletic association and member of
the Glee club, Or chest r..,, Gun club,
Literary society, Phi Kappa Sigma
fraternity, Junior Reel ption com
mittee, and the Adelph club.
Upon graduation he rose rapidly
in his field until in 190.1 he hecame
manager of the insulation depart
ment of the Armstrong Cork com
pany. Later he became a director
in the company. He was a mem
ber of the Duquesne club, the Uni
versity club, the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers and of the
American Society of Refrigerating
Engineers. The following article
by President Sparks voices the
sentiments of faculrvii'ili'nini and
student body:
“Announcement of the death of
Mr. J. E. Quigley ’94, a member of
the Board of Trustees of the col
lege, comes as a shock to those
who knew him as a man in the
prime of life, energetic, full of en
thusiasm, and overflowing in his
1 love for this college. From the
, day he entered the preparatory de
partment until the present time, he
never for a moment lost faith in the
future of the college. In this par-
ticular he rivaled the constant hope
of General Beaver. He was also a
strong adherent of the theory of
student government, believing that
in the end the students would cor
rect existing evils, and were the
best judges of the steps to be taken
for the betterment of college affairs.
"For eight years as a member of
the board of trustees, he attended
all meetings and took an active
part in all discussions. He was
especially interested in the college
athletic system and looked forward
to the time when Penn State might
have an all-round physical training
for every student. To him they owe
old Beaver field, since in his student
days he strongly urged that project.
To him also they are indebted in
no small degree for the new Beaver
field. Also to his insistence the
students owe the setting aside of
the field beyond the west barn
which he had dreamed would be
come a vast playground for physi
cal exercise of various kinds.
“When General Beaver departed
this life full of years and honors no
one would have supposed that
death would claim as its next vic
tim a man young in years, vigorous
in health and strong in every vital
particular for a prolonged term of
life. To his family and friends,
the college extends a heartfelt
sympathy. To them must belong
whatever satisfactiod arises from
the contemplation of a life well
spent in a line of duty and devoted
largely to the interests and welfare
of others.”

FAST TRACK TRIALS
Dolbin Equals Record in 440 Yard
Dash—Entwistle Leads Milers.
The State track men made a fine
showing in the trials Saturday on
New Beaver, held in preparation
for the Penn relays scheduled for
April 23-24.
Entwistle won the one mile run in
the fast time of 4:32 3-5, having
the lead for the entire race. On
the last quarter he increased the
pace and finished about 15 yards
ahead of Schioeder. Gailand was
at Schroeder’s heels, with Farley a
good fourth. The average time of
these men was 4-35.
Dolbin, in a close race, won the
quarter in the record time of 50 4-5
seconds. Mason and Brown tied
for second with Cottom and Post
in order. The average time of the
first four was 51 2-5 seconds. Ley
den T 4, broke the record for the
quarter last spring at 50 4-5 sec
onds.
The result of these two races
argues well for a fast one mile and
a fast four mile relay team.
Captain Hammitt defeated Bar
ron TB, in the 120 yard hurdles.
Time. 15 4-5 seconds. This race
was run on the turf.
Dambly TB, has been working
hard for the pentathlon, which
consists of a 200 meter and 1500
meter race, the broad jump, and
throwing the discus and javelin.
Lamb is expected to shaw up well
for this event.
From the present outlook Coach
Martin's men will make a creditable
showing at the famous Penn relays.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
TWO VICTORIES CLOSE
DEBATING SEASON
Pitt and W. and J. Go Down to
Defeat—Four Victories and but
One Defeat For Penn State
Penn State’s debating season
closed on Friday night with two
victories in the Western Pennsyl
vania Debating league. Both sides
of the subject, "Resolved, that the
United States should abandon the
Monroe Doctrine", were argued by
the State teams. At the Univer
sity of Pittsburgh our negative team
won by the unanimous vote of the
judges while in the Auditorium the
affirmative also won by a unani
mous vote over Washington and
Jefferson.
The debate in the Auditorium
was not so hotly contested as the
other debates held here and at no
time was there any doubt but that
the State debaters had the best of
the argument. In the rebuttals the
W. and J. men failed to refute the
main contentions of the affirmative
while the State team was prepared
to meet every argument advanced
by their opponents.
Locke’s argument for State was
very effective while Hague was the
strongest contender for, the nega
tive. The main arguments of the
affirmative were that the Monroe
Doctrine is unjust, that it is a men
ace to the peace and safety of the
United States, and that internation
al law is sufficient as our foreign
policy.
The team was composed of Mil
ler T 7, Locke T 7, Morrow" 'l6, and
Rice, special, alternate. At the
University of Pitt we were repre
sented by Diem TB, Skillman ’l6,
Schwartz T 6, and Martin TB.
These two victori s close a most
successful debating season for Penn
State. Our teams won against
Franklin and Marshall, Westmin
ster, W. and J., and Pittsburg while
we lost one debate to F. and M.
Much credit is due to Professor
Marshman who coached the teams.
Under his supervision a number of
men have developed into good de
baters and a renewed interest has
been taken in this activity.
Freshmen Baseball
Sixty-seven freshmen reported
last Saturday for the class baseball
team. Of these nearly half are
candidates for the outfield position
while only a few reported for bat
tery. In these latter positions the
team probably be weak unless more
men will report.
Y. M. C. A. Campaign Notice.
Any of the men who failed to
get the complimentary booklet sent
by Dr. John Mott after the cam
paign, may obtain a copy by call
ing in person at the Y. M. C. A
office at 273 Main building.
Junior Pron Caterer
The job of catering to the Junior
Prom will be let out by bids very

Moyer at the Sigma Chi house at
once.
Prof. G. H. Resides was one of
those who correctly designated the
boards in the lumber identifica
tion contest which was held by the
Southern Lumbermen during the
past winter. This contest was the
identification of 12 wood panels
from photographs. Prof. Resides
also received honorable mention in
the contest last year which con
sisted in the identification of 13
kinds of oak trees from their leaves.
