FOOT-BALL
S. C., 54 —HUCKNELL, O.
The regular practice and careful training of
our “first eleven” developed confidence enough
in the playing abilities of our boys to lead many
people to believe an interesting and exciting
game would be played on the occasion of our
visit to Lewisburg Nov. 5 ; and the State Col- :
lege foot-ball team did not disappoint the admir- 1
ers at home nor did they leave the opponents’ 1
field until they had gained admirers there. It is :
a fact worth mentioning, that our boys made :
their first “touch down” within two minutes after
the game had been called.
The playing on both sides was very com- ,
mendable throughout the entire game.
The teams were well matched in size and
strength. Neither side could gain anything by
what is called rough playing, and all the points
scored were made by the skillful playing of
“tricks,” the best of which was the one so fre
quently played by our half-backs.
The game ended with the score : Pennsylva
nia State College, 54; Bucknell, o.
