MrDeb,
In your second circuit, I believe that your power supply is not keeping up with demands. The 0.113V at the collector suggests an "effective resistance" for the transistor of 282 milliOhms, thus the expected current when 14V are applied to 400 Ohms is 35mA. The fact that your friend measures 14mA suggests that your power supply is not keeping up with demands.
The low "effective resistance" suggests that your transistor is indeed saturated. The measured base current of 1.65 mA when applied to a transistor with a beta of say 100 would give you a collector current of 165 mA. The 400 Ohm resistor is preventing you from seeing that.
P.S. - Experts, if I am incorrect in my analysis of the second posted circuit, please correct me.
P.P.S. - As far as the first circuit is concerned, there seems to be little reason for the transistor as many have already noted.
