    for the position that State has had for some years. Should the
good work of the team continue, State will be fully justified in
classifying herself at the end of the season as one of the " Big
Six."
THE SUSQUEHANNA-STATE GAME
SUSQUEHANNA 6; STATE 45.
IN spite of the fact that Susquehanna University's team was
equally heavy as our own, we had what might well be termed
a good practice game with them on October 15. The ball had
scarcely been in play for a minute and a quarter before Platt
skirted the left end scoring a touchdown after an uninterrupted
run of 3o yards. Cure then made four touchdowns and goals in
succession, making the score 29-o at the end of the first half.
In the second half, six men of State's team were replaced by
second team men, which act proved rather disastrous before the
half ended. Heckel made a touchdown on a 4.0 -yard run, after
which D. K. Miller made one on an equally long run around the
right end. The two attempts for goals proved unsuccessful.
Susquehanna then managed, through a trick play, to send Morris
through State's right end. Once through the line, Susque
hanna's interference was such as to baffle all attempts to stop
Morris, who, after a brilliant 60-yard run, made the second touch
down ever made on Beaver Field by an opposing team. Michael
kicked goal. Before time was called, State made six more points
on a touchdown by D. K. Miller and a goal by Cure.
The game was characterized by excellent playing on the part of
all the State players. Murray as centre, Randolph and. Scholl as
guards, Cure as full-back and D. K. Miller as left half-back
figured especially prominently. Susquehanna played a good
game and several times made fair gains, but it was evident from
start to finish that she was far out-classed both in skill and in
training.
