We have naught but kind thoughts of our F. and M. contest. A game of foot-ball was played between the Pennsylvania college and State College teams dur ing the week of encampment of the cadets of the latter college, at Gettysburg. The game was played on Tuesday afternoon, October 27th, •on the grounds of the Penn sylvania College's team. As a whole it was an un interesting game. Pennsylvania college's team went in only with an object of keeping State Col lege from running up a big score. These teams contained good material, but in the science of foot ball their knowledge was very meagre. They lacked team work and throughout the game de pended almost entirely on mere physical force to hold or advance the ball. State College's eleven played with four of her regular players off, filling up their places with men from the scrub team. Their playing throughout the game was spirit less taking more the nature of a practice game on our home grounds. They lacked all the snap and spirit of a championship game and in their carelessness almost allowed their op ponents to score. PENNSYLVANIA O t STATE COLLEGE 18.
