GETTYSBURG TEAM
CALLS A HALT
Howard’s Pitching Features Game.
Hits Few And Scattered. State’s
Field Work Erratic. Play
Juniata Today.
The Gettysburg nine last Satur
day called a halt on Penn State’s
winning pace by taking the winning
side of an interesting game. The
steady, effective pitching of
Howard, together with the poorly
placed hitting and erratic fielding
of the State players might serve to
summarize the reasons for the loss
of this game.
States only run was scored in the
second inning when Robinson
doubled to left field, and soon
afterward scored on a single by
Kaunas. The succeeding innings
found the Blue and White players
unable to tally, although several
times in rally they came close to
‘■DOC” CRAWFORD
turning the game. The men were
able to hit the ball, but found dif
ficulty in doing so safely.
Hesselbacher opened his work on
the mound by striking out three of
the first six men to face him. His
pitching, although wild at times,
was on the whole steady; and he
netted at the close of the game, a
total of 10 strike-outs. The work
of Kaunas around second base
prevented a number of probable
run-scoring hits.
The Gettysburg men played
steady baseball throughout. They
came here with a splendid record
for the season, having been defeat
ed only by the Princeton team, and
exhibited a game which indicated
effective coaching and thorough
team work. Their hits were well
placed and came at points in the
game, when they were most needed.
During the opening innings they
went out in successive order; but in
the third inning McKee doubled to
left, took third on a bad throw, and
scored later on a wild pitch. Three
hits, accompanied by a costly error
in the sixth inning practically de
cided the game. Only two of the
five runs were earned runs. Much
of the credit for the success of the
game is due Howard, who allowed
but few safe hits.
Final score; 5-1.

Interclass Debating,
The annual interclass debate will
probably take place this year on

national interest and of extreme im

immigrants to the United States
should be required to pass a literacy
test.” Prof. Roberts is coaching the
sophomores while Mr. Hall is get
ting the freshmen into shape.
The baseball team leaves today

Best Song of Year,
ro popula-
One of the most important mass
meetings in Penn State's recent his
tory will be held next Friday night
at 6:30. The first show at the
movies will be suspended in order
that a good turnout can be had.
A new system of cheer leading
will be voted on. It will embody
the following features:
i ,
r the morn-
any inter-
ic negro
irst started
nia. The
colored
, a gradu-
who was
nts of our
| death of
lryship is
-ned, how
1. A board of five senior cheer
leaders in place of one.
■ 2. Uniform motions by all men
leading the same cheer.
3. The five men to be chosen
by the graduate manager and the
present cheer leader and in follow
ing years by the graduate manager
and the board of five.
4. At the regular Athletic Asso
ciation elections the students will
ballot for the best man of the five
who will receive a prize of $lO.
5 The five cheer leaders to re
ceive expenses to the Pitt game
and these expenses to be apportion
ed by classes.
6. A prize -1 li\4 dulla*s ./ul uo
awarded for the best cheer.
7. A prize of five dollars for
the best song of the year.
Other features will be added be
fore Friday night. With this new
system it is hoped to improve the
cheering which has become too
large a position for one man.
Other suggestions for improvement
which will be acted upon include
the massing of the Glee club to
lead singing and the playing of
snappy music by the band.
Another important matter for
consideration will be the adoption
of the Interclass Sports Council
constitution. This is presented
with the hope that money will be
saved in outfitting athletic teams of
the various classes and also to help
in the making of schedules, eligibil
ity rules, and in selecting officials.
The proposed constitution pro
vides for a committee of four, one
man from each class, with the ath
letic association officers members
ex-officio.
The graduate manager is to act
as treasurer of the council and all
purchases are to be sanctioned by
him. Every man in a four year
course is to be assessed annually a
sum of one dollar and in return is
to receive free admission to all
interclass contests except the fresh
man-sophomore scrap games.
The plan seems to be particularly
good, for based on an admittance
charge of 10 cents, $2 worth of
athletic contests are furnished at a
50 per cent, discount. It should
also be remembered that the usual
charge is 15 cents.
This tax of $1 will also eliminate
a number of class assessments
which are made to equip athletic
teams.
A number of men have given
considerable time to the forming of
the tough draft of this constitution
and with this to work on it is hoped
PRICE FIVE CENTS
that the student body will take this
opportunity of systematizing this
rapidly growing form of college
activities.
The new cheering system as pro
posed should assist in increasing
college cheering. At present the
grandstand body appears to be
reluctant to cheer at all and act as a
sort of damper on the two bleach
ers. If the Glee club would sit
in the grandstand possibly it could
imbue it with some cheering abil
ity.
The prizes for the cheer leader,
the best cheer and the best song
will be awarded next spring. Any
man may submit more than one
song or cheer and each one submit
ted which has any merit will be
printed in the columns of this
paper.
Juniors Win
The juniors won their first game
in the class league Monday by de
feating the strong freshmen team
by the score SS. Both teams h' l d
their strongest lineup on the field
and the junior battery of Miller and
Baughman proved too much for
the underclassmtn especially in the
pinches. The game was marked
by good baseball and several field
ing chances were above the ordin
ary. The pitching of Baughman
and the hitting of Miller for the
juniors and the batting of Wheel
ing for the freshmen were the feat
ures of the game.

Class Baseball League Opens
The class baseball league opened
its season last Saturday when the
Sophomores beat the Seniors on Old
Beaver by the score 4to 3. The
game was as the score indicated
well played, in fact one of the best
that has been seen here this’year.
Both pitchers showed good form
and with the exception of the third
and fourth innings the game was a
pitcher’s battle. The seniors show
ed the best form, due to the fact
that the sophomores’ lineup was
shifted so much.
A home run by Kern was the
feature of the game.
