Once more has Penn State shown her suprem:cy over Cornell by de feating them in one of the hardest fought games of football ever seen un Percy Field, last Saturday by the score of 8 to 6. "Larry" Vorhis was the star of the game, for this cool headed youngster saved the day for the White and Blue by mak ing two beautiful field goals from the 20 and 40 yard lines, respective ly. Every man on the State team was in fine form and displayed great ability both in offense and defense. Much more could be said in regard to this sp:er.did victory but the fact that Cornell was defeated by State will ever be a pleasant memory in the hearts of our studeat body.

A Gift From 1910 The clock for the Carnegie Li brary donated by the class of 1910 has arrived, and is being put in place this week. 11-ere has long been a great need for a library clock. The sophomore class during their freshman year appreciated this fact, and appointed a committee consisting of W. R. Lams, L. M. Fisher, and N. K. Gallinger to purchase a suitable clock, using the money from the surplus of their damage fund. The committee selected the wall or gallery clock manufactured by The Prentiss Clock Improvement company, of New York. The clock has a 60 day movement and a calen dar attachment giving the month. the date, and the day of the week. It is fully guaranteed by this long established firm to be a reliable and accurate time-keeper. A silver plate appropriately engraved will be placed upon the clock, making the total cost of Ihe gift about sixty dollars. The generosity of the class of 1910 will be appreciated by the en tire student body, both now and in the future. This is, however, but the beginning of benefactions which this class has in mind to accomplish during its course. The college may thus confidently expect to see 1910 a worthy rival in college spirit of the classes which nave done so much for our co.lege in past years. J. V.
