the most enduring. The delight they give is
not in the sensation, is scarcely at all sensuous.
The pleasure their beauty affords is almost
purely intellectual, of the imagination and the
reason.
ATHLETICS.
CLASS '9O has the honor of the foot-ball
class championship. They defeated the
Freshmen by a small score in a hard fought
battle. The Seniors are not in their strongest
condition, as some of their best men are un
well and others were injured, so they do not
question the class championship. The Sophs
have shown no disposition to claim it. Rah

Will we have the required apparatus and a
suitable place for gymnastics this winter?
This question is of importance to the athletic
association, and especially to the base-ball
team, and those who contemplate trying for a
position on the first nine. If the team takes
he intended trip next season, at least eleven
men will be needed; only seven of this num
ber now belong to the first team. If no good
base-ball men enter college before next spring,
four men must be developed and prepared to
do work at the opening of the season. We
know there are men in college who, if they
would devote time and attention to exercise
and practice would make good, or at least,
fair players. A good gymnasium for exercis
ing in this winter, would aid greatly in
strengthening our team for effective work, at
the opening of next season. By all means,
give us a room that will answer our purpose
for this winter. Couldn't a room in the col
lege be given that would answer temporarily?
We are positive the attention of the students
would be drawn from the halls to the gymna
sium. We ask for a room with the hope that
our desire may be gratified,
THE FREE LANCE.
After making the necessary changes and
corrections in figures in the State College—
Bucknell foot-ball question, propounded by
the Mirror, we solve the problem and add
another. (I) Lehigh beats Bucknell 74 to o,
and Lehigh beats State College 3o to o, State
College would beat Bucknell 44 to o. (2)
Dickinson (according to the Dickinsonian)
beat Bucknell 20 x 3 possible goals to IS, and
Dickinson and State College tie the score
(6 to 6), State College would beat Bucknell
2x 3 possible goals. If you have .any more
such questions please refer them to our B
preps, and oblige the editors.
The first foot-ball game for the class cham
pionship was played between the Juniors and
Freshmen, and resulted in a victory, by a score
of 6to 0, for the Juniors. First choice fell to
the Freshmen, who chose the ball. Play be
gan by '92 rushing a V., and gaining about
10 yds. The teams were very evenly
matched, and the most desperate playing and
hardest fought game ever witnessed here,
began to be of interest, when the opposing
teams had measured and fully comprehended
the strength of their antagonists. During the
larger part of the first half the ball was kept
in the middle field; towards its close, a fumble
by Atherton gave the ball to Leyden, who,
having a clear field, made a touch down from
which McLean kicked a goal. The first half
ended one half minute after the goal was
kicked. In the second half considerable slug
ging went on, but as rough playing seemed to
be in order, neither side heeded it much. The
ball was generally played in the middle
throughout this half, and neither side scored.
The Freshmen had the stronger rush line, but
the Juniors had the stronger back field. Linsz,
the half-back for '92, played well. Reber
made several fine runs, Hildebrand and Roth
rock rushed well, Mock and All made several
nice short runs. '9O Rushers, Jackson, G. Dem
