very poor quality, much more so than the closeness of the score
would indicate. Both pitchers did good work throughout the
game, Burns having the best of the strike-outs while Matthew
son fared best in the number of hits made off of him but only
because of the lack of head work by some one on our team. The
double play by Morgan, Miller and Blair was the only bit of really
commendable fielding on the part of our team.
While our team fielded badly, so did Bucknell. The weather
was hardly desirable for base-ba
day. The score was:—

OUR heart beats with pride when we think of the magnificent
record of our ball team on its last eastern trip. It was on
the whole the most successful trip ever taken by a " State "
team. Our boys showed themselves the superior of a member of
the big " Pour." It was hardly to be expected; yet when we
take in view .the progress we have made, it is but a natural out
growth, the result of a progressive movement in our athletics.
We may well congratulate ourselves on our success. The trip
had its faults of course, but winning three, tieing one, and
ATHLETICS
1 but rather more of a foot-ball
