The game was fast and rough, although no rougher than could be expected from such a fast game. The team work of State College was by far the best seen on the gymnasium floor this season. Time after time the ball was kept in a close field by short, accurate passing. In this kind of work Dunn, the little forward, was always in the play to coach his men and keep them together. Notwithstanding the fact that this game was the fifth of the trip played by State College, the team was in excellent condition. At no stage of the game did the men show signs of giving up in their fast work, but played a hard game to the finish. The team work of State was a feature of the game. Dunn put up a brilliant game for his team, being in the game at every stage to encourage his guard Bradley
