field during the remainder of the first half, in the
second half, State College had the wind in their
favor, after several plays Brown was given the ball
he punted it to Dickinson’s twenty-yard line. The
opponents securing the ball advanced it consider
able distance by short dashes, State College se
cured the ball on four downs, and by a cross pass
between Haley and Atherton the latter carried
the ball around the left end for forty yards and
after short gains through the centre the bill was
carried near the goal line, Brown carried it over
for a second touchdown, Atherton kicked a goal
score ten to nothing. Dickinson put the ball in
play in centre of field but soon lost it on four
downs, Brown punted out of bounds Dickinson
failed to secure the ball and Hoskins fell on it and
by a quick play touched the ball in bounds and
ran near half the length of the field scoring a
touchdown, Atherton kicked a goal score 16 to
nothing.
Dickinson claimed that the ball was stolen from
their backs but the referee and umpire decided
otherwise, and as Dickinson would not abide by
their decisions and refused to play, State Col
lege bned up in their places and remained for five
minutes the time allowed to put ball in play by
opposing team. At the expiration of that time
the game was given to State College by both ref
eree and umpire, with the score remaining 16 to
nothing in favor of State College. The teams
lined up as follows:

lull back Davis,
possessed so little knowledge of the game that al
most every decision he made was appealed from
by both captains and at the beginning of the sec
ond half Mr. Krick, of Lafayette was secured to act
as umpire, and Mr. Dougherty as referee. Thir
ty-five minutes halves were agreed upon but there
was only thirty minutes of actual play during the
game as so much time was lost by the decision of
the referee and keeping the crowd back in the
first half and in the second half playing foot ball
was out of the question for the crowd rushed up
on the field scarcely leaving room for the team to
line up
The Dickinson men had charge of all the ar
rangements for the game, and the management
showed great lack of ability or experience in such
matters.
NOVEMBER 12,1892,—STATE COLLEGE
18, BUCKNELL o.
Oh 1 say can you see.by the fast fading light,
Those who came here so full of their brags in the
morning
Their eoat tails are vanishing fast from our sight,
And whore will they bo in another day’s dawn-
ing?
Counting the oost of the game they have lost,
And wishing at least that the match had been crossed
White the State College colors In triumph shall wave
On the breast of the fair and the lapel ot the brave.
O, where Is that laud who so vauntlngly swore
When they came to the ground where of erst they had
battled
They would out our boys 1 Go baok at the soore,
O, where are they now ? Off for home badly rattled
With the full will in hand, at the word ofoommand,
Our rush the bold Buoknell boys could not withstand’
And the Blue and the White o'er the field so well
fought
Enriches the record of eighteen to naught.
Oh 1 thus be it ever when S. C. shall stand
Between the two goals all alive to their duty.
May vlotory rest with the stout little band
' Mid the olieers of their oollege, the bright smiles of
Beauty
TUI Pennsylvania and Yale their oolors shall rati
And even the famed Princeton team'shall turn tail,
And the Blue and the White shall triumphantly wave
O’er many a viotory won by the brave. j.
