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.

LA VIE IN HANDS OF PRINTERS
1916 Annual Expected to be Pub
lished About May 15—Book Con
tains Many New Features.
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.
Collegian.
BOXING TOURNAMENT SUCCESS I FLAG SCRAP
RULES REVISED
Higgins and Powers Stars of Fresh
man Victory.
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.
