Penn State VOLUME 11 NUMBER 27 TEAM CONTINUES WINNING STREAK West Virginia and Dickinson Join List of Defeats—Splendid Team Work and Hard Hitting -Harley Confident of a Successful Season. The result of the games last week with West Virginia and Dickinson, added two more victories to the record of unbroken success held by our baseball team. In both these games the State men easily dis- played superiority over their op ponents; and further, they exhibit- ed a type of baseball which has probably never been equalled by past teams, this early in the sea son. Coach Harley is pleased with the showing made by his men, and feels confident that the season will be one of success. In the first of the games last week. West Virginia lost; and the defeat is ascribed chiefly to an in efficient pitching department, with poor fielding support as a secondary cause. The game was practi cally put on ice in the first inning, when three men singled suc cessively, another walked, and fin ally when Weber clouted out his home run, The game in general was loosely played by the visitors while Liebert pitched first class ball for Penn State. Final score 10 0. The Dickinson players, having lost the first three games of the season, came here last Saturday determined to win. Thev opened the game with a true display of this determination, when Moose singled to center and scored on Goldstein’s three base hit. At the close of the first inning the score was 1-0 in their favor. During the following few innings neither pitcher allowed any hits, and not until the third in ning did the game take a turn. Crawford, on being hit by a pitched ball, took first, and was sent to sec ond by Blythe’s single. Josefson then drove out a homer, and changed the score to 3-1. The game from this point be came one sided. The Dickinson men were unable to score, Ward well holding them to one hit; while the State players proceeded to hammer out long drives which tallied a number of runs. Final score 10-1.

In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, but if the young man happens to be a junior his thoughts also turn to the La Vie and the 1916 board has promised that the long expect ed book will soon be here. The editorial work was completed be fore Easter and Grit Publishing company is working overtime in order to have the book ready by May 10, the date set in the con tract. Allowing for passage over the Bellefonte Central and other unforeseen though probable diffi culties the book should be on hand on May 15 and the anxiety of the individual junior about “that write up” will be over. The new book promises some new features in the way of art work and general makeup and it is even rumored that Hemy Hutt, James Montgomery Flagg and other well known artists will forsake the Cos mopolitan, Hearsts, etc., and will appear as contributors to the La Vie. An enlarged comic section, introductory features and individual writeups that are rather unique, are some of the other innovations in this vear’s book. The question of binding has not been definitely settled but it is probable that the annual will ap pear clad in a blue leathei binding with padded effect and bearing a design stamped with gold. The question of having names stamped in gold upon the cover of the book and having gold edges has been taken up with the publishers and the business management has an nounced that juniors can have both these added features for 50 cents. All juniors who desire these addi tional features can see a representa tive of the business staff on Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday nights of this week between 6:30 and 7:30 o’clock, at either the Co-op or 366 Main. Interclass Meet The annual interclass track meet will be held on New Beaver Satur day, May 1, at 2:30 p.m. During this meet, the preliminaries of the annual interfraternity half mile re lay will be held. Managers of the fraternity teams should give their entries to H. Smith, at the Beta Theta Pi house, before this date. As usual all varsity track men will be ineligible for the relay. A Suggestion Might we suggest that a little more discretion be used in permit ting the commercial-minded, pea nut-selling youth of the village to come and remain in the grand stand duiing baseball games. Their con duct and manner of speech when not engaged in the pursuit of nickels do not always add material ly to the enjoyability of the game. Tennis Courts, All male students are requested to keep off the Cottage tennis courts. These courts are exclu sively for the girls. Aloe Resigns The staff regrets the resignation of Reporter Aloe who will go into business next year. The quartet has returned from a very successful trip to the coast, which resulted in considerable ad vertising for the college. STATE COLLEGE, PA., APRIL 21, 1915 DR. SCHIEFFELIN NEXT SUNDAY Foremost Citizen of New York. Spanish War Veteran Penn State Recognized by Rockefeller Foundation. The speaker at both chapels next Sunday morning will be Dr. Wil liam Jay Schieffelin, of New York City of whom Andrew Carnegie once said, “He is the foremost Christian citizen of New York’’. From “Who’s Who” we note that Dr. Schieffelin wrs born in New York; educated at Columbia; and received the degree of doctor of philosophy from the University of Munich. Among some of the important positions occupied by him are the following: Trustee of Hampton institute, civil service commissioner, 1896; adjutant 12th New York infantry, Spanish-Amer ican wai; president of National As sociation Wholesale Druggists, president of the American Mission ary societv, chairman of Laity League for Social Service. Dr. Schieffelin is a splendid ex ample of the layman who finds time outside his professional life to help all worthy causes. lie has not allowed his business to absorb him so completely that, he does not have time to give to the service of humanity. He is chairman of 15 committees and a member of 33 committees for civic and religious betterment. He drafted the bill restricting the sale of cocaine in the state of New York, although it meant the losing of many thousand dollars for his firm. Dr. Schieffelin is a direct de scendant of John Jay, the first Supreme Court judge of the United States. He is the father of nine children. This is Dr. Schieffelin’s thiid vis it to Penn State. He has during his two other visits come v to know the needs of our college, and twice went to Mr. Carnegie to urge him to become interested in the Social hall project. He comes to us this time in the interests of the colored county work of the United States. He has been a trustee of Hampton Institute for a number of years and is chairman of the colored work department of the International Y. M. C. A. Our Sunday contribu tions have helped in the support of a secretary in Virginia for the color ed people. The aim is now to make our work national in scope and instead of having one man con fined to a single county he will have supervision of all the work of the states. The work which Penn State in augurated has received favorable notice from the Rockefeller founda tion. This fact in itself should make every man inteiested in the message Dr. Schieffelin will bring to us. Dr. Schieffelin will be accom panied by J. E. Moorland, one of the foremost colored Christian workers in America. Sophomore Baseball The class of 1917 had their first practice last Saturday back of Mc- Allister Hall and 47 candidates re ported. Manager Fisher reports a good turnout for all positions ex cept that there is a scarcity of pitching material and more men aie urged to try for that position. Practice is held daily from 6 to 7 p. m.

The Freshmen won the first an nual boxing tournament which was held in the armory Friday night by, the score 4-2. Last year a boxing tournament was arranged but only one bout took place and the meet last Friday night really marks the beginning of annual meets to be held in the future. Only the three lower classes were represented in all of the weights, as no Seniors entered. In the preliminaries held last Wednesday eve ling, the Sopho mores were eliminated from all nf the bouts with the exception of Griffiths, T 7 who boxed Berger T 6 in the 158 lb. class; and Allen T 7 who boxed Bennett T 6 in the 125 lb. class. The two-year Agri culture men were also represented in the meet. This bout was won by Mathews, a first year two-year Ag. The bout was marked by its enjoy able features rather than by good boxing. In the 1151 b. class. Power, 'lB won from Wagner T 6. This bout was evenly fought until the third round when Powers opened up and proved more arguments than his opponent. Bennett T 6 easily won from Al len T 7 in the 125 lb. class. Allen put up a losing battle throughout the first round and near the close of the second Bennett knocked him down. Referee 'Dick' Harlow awarded the bout to Bennett at this point. In the 135 lb. class William 'lB was given the decision over Winner 'l6. The first two rounds of this bout was easily Williams but Winner opened the third round by rushing Williams who seemed to have lost his wind. The Freshman seemed to come back and drove some body punches which told on Winner ard Williams got the decision. Rock T 6 and Dippe T 8 in the 145 lb. class fought one of the best bouts a£ the tournament. Dippe, on Wednesday night was eliminated by Berger T 6 in the 158 lb. class and dropped down to 145 lb. class* Rock proved the more aggressive in the first round and the Freshman took some hard raps but in the second and third rounds Dippe de livered his blows hard and snappy showing a remarkable defence which Rock found hard to break. Dippe was awarded the bout. Griffiths T 7 proved a poor match for Berger T 6 in the 158 lb. class. Berger had many chances to de liver a knockout blow but satisfied himself with a decision. Without a doubt the best bout of the meet was the Higgins T 8 and Marlin TG fight in the 175 lb. class. Higgens outreached Marlin, but taking this into account, Higgins proved himself the better of the two and showed some real boxing. Marlin must be given credit for the great scrap he put up. The bout which gave the crowd the greatest amusement was the heavyweight fight between Tiny’ Downs T 6 and 'Pop' Gill TB. Gill won on a knockout blow, deliver ing a blow on the side of ‘Tiney’s’ left jaw. Tiny sank to the floor, using his heels as rockers;all points of his body touched the floor suc cessively before his head and Tiny lapsed into Dreamland. The meet was a great success and it is hoped that it will be continued in the future. ‘Dick’ Harlow refeted the bouts and his work was above par.
