Score—State, 38; Mansfield, o. SEPTEMBER 29th, Gettysburg's eleven sturdy warriors of the gridiron went forth to do battle with State on Beaver field. The day was an ideal one, the wind blowing from the south. The first half State had the east goal to defend, in the second, the west. The game was well played thro'out the first half; but the last half was marked by numerous fumbles at critical points on State's part which enabled' Gettysburg to get the ball out of danger by kicking. Gettysburg played well but showed the lack of coaching very much as her team play was lax. State played a hard aggressive game thro'out. Wood and Harris put up the star game of the day. Cummins, Hewitt, Burns, Miller and Miles played good steady games and as for the remainder they filled their parts suf ficiently well to merit praise. Schoffstoll favors his shoulder a little too much which no doubt had an effect on his game in the last half. But tho' all did their parts well, yet much improve ment could be made. The signals were slowly given in the fore part of the game causing it to lack snap. Burns as a ground gainer is one of the best we have. The student body supported the team well and enthusiasm ran wild when a good play was made. This is more like student sup port as it should be than it has been before at State. The game in detail.
