Hueknell vs. State.
About two thousand people witnessed the game
between Bucknell and State, in Williamsport,
Saturday. November i 7th. The game was very
close and exciting and resulted in a victory for
our team by the score of 12 to 6. Both teams
played a strong offensive game, but were weak on
the defensive, except when compelled to play in
order to prevent the opposing team from scoring.
The men back of the line distinguished themselves
for State, while Wolf played the best game for
Bucknell. The details of the game are as follows:
State won the toss and took the ball. Ather
ton kicks for fifty yards and the ball rolls over the
line. Bucknell brings the ball out and advances it
almost to midfield by rushes around the end, and
then loses it on downs. State fumbles and Buck
nell gets the ball only to lose it again on downs.
Atherton takes the ball for fifteen yards, Robison
fails to gain, and Suter makes ten. Atherton
makes three more and State looses ball on a fum
ble. From this time on until the end of the half,
the ball remains in Bucknell's territory. Ather
ton tried for a field goal once but failed. At the
close of the half, Suter went around left end for
twenty yards and a touchdown, but while he was
making the run time was called and the play was
not allowed. The first half ended with neither
team having scored any.
Bucknell opened the second half with a kick off

for forty-five yards, which Robison catches for
twenty. State then rushes the ball down the field
and sends Suter over the line for a touchdown,
three and a half minutes after the play had started.
Atherton kicks the goal. Bucknell kicks off and
Atherton returns the ball to midfield, where it
staysfor several minutes until Bucknell sends it to
our ten yard line. There State braces up and
takes the ball on downs, rushing it back to mid
field. Bucknell gets the ball on downs and by
steady rushes, and runs around the end succeeds
in scoring a touchdown from which a goal is
kicked. 'l'he ball then stays around mi.lfield un
til about three minutes from the end of the game,
when Robison scores a touchdown by two runs of
thirty and ten yards. Atherton kicks goal. The
game was called a little later with the ball in
State's possession on Bucknell's thirty yard line.

The important part that the Reserves play in pro
clueing a good first team is not generally recog
nized. It is fair at least to assume that the suc
cess of the first team is due in part to the practice
offered them by the second, and it is known that
it would be an absolute impossibility to maintain
a team without regular practice. Therefore those
