STATE VS. WASHINGTON AND JUIDEERSON.
UNDUR this head we have to chronicle one of the vilest
deeds ever perpetrated upon a college foot ball field. W.
and J. came to State College with but one intention and
that to defeat State at any cost. So finding that as the galme
progressed her chances of winning were growing more dim, she
resorted to a game that is a disgrace to any college. It is true that
State endeavored to cancel the game, but the student body would

from behind by Core out of bounds. Reed came running across

knees on Burns' chest, incapacitating him for play for the time

crowd, unable to control itself, started upon the field and used
him in a manner not in accord with the treatment of guests; but
the most popular just then. A general outburst was only pre
