to feel entirely at home, every attention being
shown them. Monday morning brought a day
that seemed anxious to make up for Saturday's
behavior. It was brisk and bracing with very lit
tle wind and a cloudless sky, perfect football
weather. A special train was run frOm Bellefonte

and were heartily cheered. Then our boys came
running from the main building and received an
ovation. After a shalt preliminary practice, Ha.
ley won the toss and chose the ball, opponents
choosing the west goal to defend. Owing to a
bad fumble, the flying wedge was a failure, and
our boys became slightly demoralized, quickly
losing the ball and being forced back to our 3o
yard line. Here we obtained the • ball on a kick,

describable scene for a minute or two. Atherton
