State met the cadets at West Point ou Oct. 16 in a game
of two fifteen minute halves in which neither were able to
score. State bucked the line magnificently, making good
gains by pushing Cummings over the heads of the sol
diers; while West Point made several pretty end runs.
Prank Yocum had the misfortune to have his cheek bone
crushed in the game. The line up was:—

The result of the first big game, with Princeton on Oct.
10th, was rather disappointing to State sympathisers. How
ever, had the White and Blue received fair play the score
would at least been much smaller. Craft played the most
brilliant game of any of the men on either side* often break
ing through the Tigers interference and tackling his man.
Whitworth was very effective in getting around the end.
The work of both men elicited surprise and admiration from
the spectators.
The Tigers did most of their scoring in the first half.
The first touchdown was made by Mattis on an end run. This
was followed by three more to Hodgmau’s credit. In the re-,
mainder of the first half Princeton had trouble in gaining,
owing to the fine work of Craft, State’s left end. Score 0—
State o—West Point 0.
