When " Pud " was umpiring the game the
other clay one of the Lewisburg boys objected to
one of his decisions and expostulated with Cap
tain Mock, thus : " Why do you let a kid like
that umpire the game? He means all right but
he is too young and inexperienced." Well, that
was a good one on " Pod," but just the same we
would like to have seen the kicker try to box
with that kid. There would have been a surprise
party in store for some one.
—"Buck" Reber was on guard the second night
in camp, and his vigilance was certainly exceeded
by no other sentinel. Once during the evening
Buck heard a noise in the deep grass and coming
quickly to a ''charge bayonets," cried out,"Who
comes there ! Halt I" His thallenge was an
swered by the prolonged moo•o-o of a red heifer,
whereupon the Dutchman, mistaking the sound
for the voice of Geo. Demming, said : "Ad
vance, friend, and give the countersign."
The base ball game, Bucknell University vs.
State College, was very unsatisfactory to State
College, for the simple reason that Bucknell
forfeited the game rather than suffer defeat on the
field. Again they delayed the game throughout.
Bucknelt's team was not composed of University
boys, three of their players being chosen from the
professionals in the city. However we did not
care for this only so the name was the Bucknell
team, but we would much rather have taken the
game on .the field than have had them forfeit it.
The features of the game were Brew's fine centre
field catch and McLeans' support behind the bat.
The batting on both sides was miserable and
errors were numerous. Struck out by Halfpenny
16, by Elenberger 12. Time of game 2y 3 hours.
Attendance 175. Score, Bucknell o, State Col
lege 9. Umpire, Harry McClaran.
