All in all, State’s playing in the second half was a magnificent display of the very finest team work. The interference formed quickly and with a compactness that was superb, and against which Bucknell could not make the slightest impression. On the other hand, Bucknell seemed to be demolished. Her interference, if formed at all, was loose, and the runner was frequently tackled for a loss. Ward, at end, and Garner, at quarter, however, de serve the highest praise for the manner in which they played. The sureness and ferocity with which they got their nieii was a matter of open comment. For State, the men' all put forth such noble efforts that it would seem almost an injustice to give individual praise. Yet, it must be said that no one showed to better advantage than Mechesney. The way in which he got into the game, the certainty of his tack ling, the closeness with which he followed the ball, and his sure ness in kicking which brought us the final five points of the score, all these were deserving of the praises which he got. Atherton’s punting was remarkable, clearly outclassing that of Catterall, who lost ten to fifteen yards on every exchange. Curtin, the star of the day, made several brilliant long end runs, and seldom failed to gain when given the ball. Cure, at right half, was all, and more, than could be desired, and his 20-yard run for a touchdown was one of the sensational plays of the day. Heckel, at quarter, showed admirable judgment in directing the plays, and the certainty with which he passed the ball was marvelous. Murray, at centre, gave Jennings all he could possibly do. Randolph and Scholl, on the right of the line, simply toyed with their opponents, while Clapper and Cartwright, on the other side, put up the best game of which they were capable. Ruble and Rawn, at ends, showed up well in tackling and breaking the interference, and were always down the field on kicks, ready to drop their man. On the whole, every man played the game of his life, and they each and all richly deserved the plaudits which were showered upopthem. The teams lined up as follows: STATE Mech’y (Rawn) .
