State gave to Lafayette the worst defeat she has
ever experienced on a foot-ball field, and succeed
ed in piling up the largest score ever made by a
State College eleven, on Saturday afternoon,
October zoth. Four hundred people saw the
game, and went wild over a victory which ex
ceeded their fondest expectations. State's play
ing was marvelous, her interference, tackling and
running being almost faultless. She had little
chance for any defensive work, but what there was,
was of the finest kind. Lafayette had no interfer
ence at all, while their tackling was avretched.
