Taking into consideration tlie position which theU. P.
held in the State championship contest last year, our
boys could leel well satisfied with this their game with
the University. Monday morning found them all to
gether and en route to Lancaster, a little stiff from Sat
urday’s game, hut otherwise in good shape. At3o'clock
sharp the two teams were upon Franklin and Mar
shall’s grounds, lined up and rendy for contest. The
contest was a hard fought battle for victory. But the
superior watching of their efficient trainer, Mr. Irvine,
and their heavy charges upon-our rush line were too
much tor our boys, and the game closed with the score
10 to oin favor of F. and M. A fairer contest or a
more gentlemanly game was never played before by our
team. The absence of scrapping and slugging was a
notable feature of the game. It is emphatically the
sentiment ol our team that the F. and M. boys are gen
tlemen, and can play foot ball as such.

THE JR CHAPLET IN DEFEAT.
From u Inincnstei' Paper:
There is an especial degree of satisfaction for admir
ers of athletic sport in yesterday's victory of the Frank
-1 in and Marshall Foot Ball Team over the eleven sturdy
visitors Irom the Pennsylvania Stale College. After
Saturday's splendid struggle, in which the wearers of
the blue and white lowered the white and maroon of
Lafayette/ it might well have been expected that the
THE FREE LANCE.
Renewing our congratulations to the victors of yes
terday’s superb contest, the assurance may be given to
the young gentlemen of the State College that their de
feat in no sense involves discomfiture ; that they will
at nil times be welcome guests of Franklin and Mar
shall and of the people of Lancaster, and that coupled
with the exultant “Nevonia! Nevonia! F. & M.!”
lovers of manly sport hereabouts heartily join in the
leltmckle .Hilei | cheer.

Franklin and Marshall players should show some evi
dence of the exhuustion incident to that important and
signal triumph. The victory of the home team is sig
nificant, crippled ns it was beside by the absence of two
skillful and experienced players who were forced by
mishaps in Saturday’s game to refrain from lending
their aid in the trial of strength and skill with the
young gentlemen from the State College. But so far
from being disabled or exhausted after their initial test
with the would-be champions from Easton, our boys
went at their opponents yesterday with a vim and de
termination, skill and purpose, that made them invin
cible against the muscular vigor of the players of the
State College who made such a creditable standing
against them.
The Franklin and Marshall Team won on its merits,
but it is no disparagement to the manly and gentleman
ly young visitors to have been beaten in such a game.
Throughout the contest the State College players man
itesteil a spirit of fairness and courtesy, of entire good
humor and appreciation of the merits of their adver
saries, that reflected the highest credit on their good
breeding and on their gentlemanly instinct that might
well be emulated by other clubs who are aiming at dis
tinction in the foot ball arena.

The above is only one of the many complimentary
press notices received by our club while off on its re
cent trip. Our students should feel proud of having
sent out a team which not only played excellent foot
ball, but also was the recipient of s'). mßny notes of
praise and admiration for their gentlemanly bearing
and honest playing. The team, though slightly han
dicapped by the absence of Graham and Foster, did ex
cellent work and fought hard to bring home a victory.
We congratulate you on your well merited success
and feel highly elated that a body of our students
should excite such general admiratioiu
