EARLY DECEMBER PERIOD
DULL IN SCHOOL HISTORY
Tho opening week of December has
always been an Interesting ono In the
hisloiy* of Penn State Coming ns it
.usually docs light after tho close of tho
football season and light beforo the
commencement of the winter sports
season. It is ono that is marked by a
spirit of retrospection and anticipation
Many times the students, at this period
of the collego year linvo looked back
upon triumphant football seasons and
have had awakened In them Icoen expec
tancy at the thought of further suc
cesses In athletics during the coming
w Inter months
In 1910, In tho early part of Decem
ber, thu Dluo and White basket ball
team opened Us season with a -II to 0
victory over Susquehanna Unlvoisity.
Considering tho fact that this contest
was thu first of thu term, thu Penn State
tOHsers showed especially good team
work. While the shooting wns not ns
consistent ns that developed later on,

Captain niythu and Couch Hermann hud
ovury rcaoa to buliuve that a highly
siicicssfu) season confiontod tho drib
blers Tho largo percentage of victor- :
Joh accumulated before the close of the
season Justified their expectations.
During tho first week of Decoml>cr
nine yearn ago, I'onn State students
weie looking hack upon ono of tho
grenteflt seasons in the gridiron history
n'f tliir alma mater. A rovlow of tho
schedule showed ono tlo gumo and eight 1
victories over strong teams including
Penn, Pitt and Cornoil. Tho one tlo
wns with tho Navy temn which was
especially strong that year. Tills game
was played on a field so muddy thnt
neither side wns able to accomplish a
thing In tho way* of scoring. Tho flnnl
victory of tho year was tho clotso 3 to 0
triumph over Pitt. Football exports
conceded tho supremacy of tho grid
iron for tho season to Princeton, al
though Ponn Statu scored moro points
and played onto ono tlo game, while the
Orango nml Black team played two tie
games.
In tho Issue of tho COLLEGIAN
which camo out just: eight years ago
wns published a rovlow of tho most
successful football season that Penn
State had ever experienced. Every
game on tho unusually hard schedulo had
been won by a comfortable margin.
Most of the victories wero registered
against gridiron foes of no mean calibre
such us Washington and Jefferson, Cor
nell. Penn, Ohio State, and Pitt. The
reasons for such a phonomonnl season
wero many' No other team except, pos
sibly Warnor's Carlisle Indians wero
so well drilled In tho rudiments of tho
game The clean, sure, hard tackling
nml the low, swift charging drew forth
the pmlscful comments of many of tho
nation's leading coaches and sporting
\\ rltei s. Tho great v nrlcty of plays and
tho advanced uso of open formation
nnd shift tactics were used effectively'
to tho iKiwlldcrmcnt of all opponents.
No less than ten members of tho 1912
Penn State team wero selected by' var
ious authorities for places on tho mythi
cal All American cloven. Captain Very
was tho universal choice for All-Ameri
can end. Team work nnd unity and
nhovo all, hard clean play wero largely
icsponslblo for the success of this glor
ious season.
In December, 1913 was announced tho
organization of tho Penn Stnto Varsity
Club, to bo composed entirely of letter
men Tho purposa of this club was tho
stimulation of athletics iu general, and
in particular, to carry Information con
corning Penn Slato to prospective col
lege men who hnd made good on high
school nnd preparatory school teams.
An additional object was to try* to in
dueo former Bluo and White athletes
to return to tho collcgo Just boforo im
pel lant gnmes In order to lend' their
Influence in propaiing tho teams for
PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
coming contests. Tho club was divided
Into *wo bmnehos. consisting of gm«l
uutes nnd undergraduates, ami publish
ed a pamphlet devoted to college nows.
Tho publication wus oxpiuted to show*
tho alumni tho needs of tho collegu
teams. It was tho desire of tho club
that every member feel some dogreo of
Individual responsibility In securing
promising athletes for Penn Stnto and
to foster In overy way possible tho ath
letic Interests of tho college. It Is sig
nificant that one of thu big fontuus
nt tho recent first annual Alumni Ilome-
Comlng wns tho of tho
Vnrsltv Club, nnd Its pledging of over
thirty thousand dollars toward the now*
track house.
