Penn State Extends a j
Hearty Wfelcome to Its Visitors
[BASEBALL NINE SUCCESSFUL ON NORTHERN
CAMPAIGN. CARNEGIE TECH HUMBLED HERE
Lafayette, Dartmouth, Vermont, and Princeton Were Defeated. Army
Wins Out by Hard Hitting. Hesselbacher and'Liebert in Especially
Fine Fettle. Carnegie Beaten on New Beaver Field 12 to 4.
The baseball nine returned last
week after a successful northern
campaign. Four colleges went
down to defeat before the Blue and
[White batsmen and only the Amy
[was able to take the long end of
phe score. Hesselbacher and Lieb
lert were in topnotch form and their
[pitching was in a great way re
sponsible for the great showing of
Ihe team. With a victory over
ICarnegie Tech, here on Saturday
■he team now has the enviable
record of twelve wins and two
defeats.
Lafayette was the first team en
:ountered and was defeated by a
1-2 score. Wardwell started the
lame for State but was replaced by
Jesselbacher in the fifth inning.
[The game was very close through
put as described in the last issue of
[the “Collegian.”
I The team then journeyed on to
Idartmouth and had no difficulty in
Ivinning 4-1. Hesselbacher pitched
Klt-edged ball, striking out 14
Ren and allowing but five hits.
State scored all four runs in the
fifth on five clean hits and two
bases on balls. The home scored
its only run in the eight inning,
i The third game, with the Uni-
I’erssty of Vermont, was very close
End ended with the score 1-0 favor
pf State. “Pete” Liebert did the
mound work and pitched a great
game. The only score was made
n the fourth when Josefson singled
pnd Kominars cracked out a triple,
[coring Josefson. Kominars stop
bed a Vermont rally in the ninth
[then he pulled down a long fly
lith two men on base. The Green
flountian team put up a strong de
fence and turned many sure hits in
k putouts.
I The team got off to a bad start
n the game at West Point. Ward-
Krell was not in his usual form and
Ihe Army scored three runs in the
lirst inning on hits and bases on
Kails. With Army leading 9-2
■tate braced in the sixth and scored
Bvo runs on Crawford’s hits. At
this point Neyland, West Point’s
unbeaten twirler, was sent into th e
game and held State scoreless for
the rest of the game. State’s loose
Yielding and the hard hitting of the
I'Vrmy men accounted for the final
Icore.
I At Frincton the most sensational
[game of the trip was played and
112 innings were necessary to give
[State a 3-1 decision. Much credit
is due to "Doc” Crawford because
in the ninth he saved the game by a
wonderful catch and in the 12 th
drove in the winning runs. The
Tigers scored their only run in the
first inning on a single followed by
three bagger by Scully- State
tied the score in the third when
j Webber hit safely, Vogt sacrificed,
and Crawford scored Webber on a
hit.
It looked bad for State in the
fourth inning when the bases were
[filled with only one out. But Hes-
selbacher tighten >d up and retired
the side. Princeton rallied again in
the ninth and with two out and men
on second and third Scully hit a
long line drive to right. Crawford
did the almost impossible and
caught the ball on the run with his
back to the diamond.
Crawford broke up the game in
the 12th when he scored Vogt and
Hesselbacher on a triple. "Big
George" was in midsummer form
and struck out 12 men, allowing
eight scattered hits.

The State nine had little trouble
in defeating Carnegie Tech, here on
Saturday by a 12-4 score. Two
State men crossed the plate in the
first inning as the result of three
hits, and we scored again in the
second and third innings. With
two men on base in the fourth,
Tech’s first baseman, Humphries
knocked a home run to left field
and in the sixth two runs resulted
from his triple.
This ended the visitor’s scoring
however, as Wardwell replaced
Liebert in the next inning. Hines,
who pitched for the Pittsburgh
team, weakened in the seventh and
after Webber had scored, Kominars
hit a home run with two men on
base. Again in the eighth four runs
resulted from four hits and two
bases on balls.

BUCKNELL PLEASED
BY MUSICAL CONCERT
Combined Clubs of Both Institutions
Appear—Bucknell is Hospitable
Host.
The joint concert given by the
Bucknell and Penn Stale Glee clubs
at Lewisburg last Thursday even
ing was a signal success in every
way. The hospitality that the
Bucknell club members extended to
the State men was most cordial,
and it is hoped to make this con
cert an annual event.
The quartet sang several num
bers and responded to encores.
The Mandolin club played three
selections in a creditable manner.
One of the enjoyable features of
the program was the specialty
songs by Sauerhoff.
The Bucknell Glee club ren lered
a number of well chosen and well
delivered selections. A vocal solo
and a violin number by Bucknell
men lent the touch of contrast
needed to finish the versatility of
the program.
Dr. Sparks and family motored
to Lewisburg and attended the con
cert. He expressed in an informal
way the appreciation of the Penn
State representatives for the cor
diality shown them at Bucknell.

come here with an especially stsoeg
team which will put up a hard fight
against Indiana Normal, winners of
last years events. Krushank, who
is considered the best scholastic
football man in the east, will put
the shot for Bethlehem. Last year
he broke the records at the Yale
and Cornell interscholastic meets
with puts of 50 feet and 8 inches.
Granger in the high hurdles and
Melick in the quarter mile should
run fast races for Bethlehem.
Indiana Normal will come to

same team which defeated Mercers
buig here two years ago will com
pete on Saturday. Carroll, who
tied the world’s record for 60 yard
dash and who has done the quarter
in 49 1-5 seconds should score
many points for Normal. Gano
whose time for the hundred is
10 1-5 seconds, and seinor whose
distance with the discus is 128 feet
are entered in Saturdays events.
Bloomsburg Normal will have a
strong team and in broad jump and
sprints they are sure to be a big
factor.
Bellefonte Academy have a good
man in Hugus who is an all round
athlete. His work in the high
jump and in the pole vaults has
been especially good.
Amoung the individual stars who
will compete in class "B" is Lev
inson, of Pittsburg high, who ran
the quarter mile in 51 3-5 seconds
at Pitt last year. All of the Har-

and weights, While ‘‘Dutch” Gar
land’s brother has been making
good time on the distance runs.
Altoona High school have sever
al fast long distance men who
should help make these events in
teresting. Johnstown high will be
represented by fast men in the
quarter mile and mile events.
On Saturday morning the Kisk
iminitas school wiU cross bats with
the State freshmen and a fast game
is to be expected. The Kiski team
has met with but one defeat

Pitt freshmen and East Liberty
academy are among the teams
which have met defeat at the hands
of the Kiski nine, Dempsey, who
will enter State next fall, will be
behind the bat. At present his
batting average is over .500. Bol
ger will do the mound work and
can be counted on to give the fresh
men a hard fight. He pitched a
no hit game against the Pitt-fresh
men earlier in the season.
An added attraction of the day
will be the Pennsylvania Day mov
ing pictures which Manager Black
ford has consented to show at the
Nittany theater at 9 a. m. Saturday.
In the afternoon after the inter
scholastic meet the finals in the
interfraternity relays will be run
off.
DUAL TRACK MEET
AN EASY VICTORY
State Men Take First Place in All
But Two Events—Meet Lacks
Competitive Keenness Through-
out—State Scores 78 Points to
Lehigh’s 34—Dolbin and Lamb
Heavy Scorers.
With the spirit of victory in the
air the Blue and White track team
in a dual meet last Saturday with
Lehigh university succeeded in tak
ing first place in every event with
the exception of the mile run and
the pole vault, and, with an over
whelming score, literally ran away
with the first big meet of the sea
son.
Throughout the meet there was
little in the way of keen competi
tion, the State men having practic
ally their own way in everything.
In the 100 yard dash Dolbin and
White crossed the tape in rapid
succession, the former covering the
distance in exactly 9 4-5 seconds.
This was perhaps the closest event
of the meet, as the time of'Post,
who came in third, was 10 seconds.
In the 440 yard dash Dolbin by a
magnificent spurt finished yards
ahead of Carlson. Brown took the
