    In discussing the game the Geneva Daily Tribune says : "Gen
eva College won from State College team last evenin,g in the most
brilliant game of basket ball played in this place this season, and
the one thousand spectators snouted themselves hoarse when the
home team forged ahead in the second half and secured the lead
on their opponents. Short, quick work characterized the work of
the visitors, who played a fast and brilliant game and at the end
of the first half the score stood 9toB in their favor. Forkum's
accurate shooting and Dunn's interference were the features of
the visitors' work."

—With regard to the game at Meadville, one of the Meadville
dailies says : "In one of the most equally matched games of the
season the State College basket ball team suffered defeat in the
college gymnasium Friday night at the hands of the Allegheny
College five. 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
