    G.ETTYSBURG, o—STATE, 40.
Saturday, Sept. 26th the first game of foot ball this season was
played on Beaver Field with the above result. The playing of
State's team was better than many students expected. Duns
more, Curtin and Thompson, apparently played the best for
State, although the team work was very good, considering the
conditions under which the men have labored this fall.
The line up was as follows:
GTTVSBURG.
Fite . . .
Nicholas .
Hagerman.
Stiegel . . .
Kopenhaver
Orr . . . .
Young. . .
White (Capt.)
Doty . . . .
Lawyer . . .
Dale . . . .
Officials: Referee, Mr. beet; Umpire, Dr
Foster and Mr. Ewing.
STATE, 10; W. U
The second game of the season on Beaver Field, with W. U. of
P., Oct. 3rd, did more injury to the prestige of the game of foot
ball than its promoters can repair in many years. Not only did
Trainer and Captain Hoskins of W. U. of P. make it a disinter
esting game, but he gave such an exhibition of the unmanly de
fiance of all fair rules, which degrades the game, as to make a
lasting example for the " antis " to hold up to " public opinion."
Although we believe that men from State never would allow a
trainer to use such unfair and unmanly tactics we hasten to
apologize to each and every opponent that we ever met upon
the gridiron if such were the means of success of our former
coach.
We hope never to see a game on Beaver Field unless it be.a
clean, snappy game, fit to be publicly praised by the advocates of
The Free Lance
FOOT BALL.
