Last Saturday over 4,000 people gathered at the Exposition Park, Allegheny, to witness a stirring game of football between State and Wash ington and Jefferson. The small score was due to the shortness of halves and did not give justice to the mighty battle put up by the Blue and White. W. &J. had a good team that fought hard but could never get nearer to a touchdown than the 33 yard line. All the cheering of the solid mass Coll STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCT. 26, 1904. of Red and Black in the center of the bleachers along the side of the field could not infuse energy enough into the W. &. J. team to hold the furious charging of Forkum, Yeckley and Partridge in the back field. Time after time these players went through their opponents line for long gains. Smith and Moscrip were very efficient in carrying the ball. For W. & J. the giant left tackle Roy made consistent gains. Hupp, their left end, was so aggressive that plays were directed more often around the other side. A wonderful helping spirit charac terized State’s play. A man was rarely alone in a movement. He never seemed to stop moving until at least a few more yards had been covered by the energetic tugging and pushing of his fellows. This is the spirit that wins games. The beauty of the game was great ly marred by the unnecessary rough ness of the W. &J. players. Slug ging and numerous other opposites of clean playing on their part seemed far more noticeable to the spectators than to the officials, who apparently forgot all rules in regard to such ac tion. However, the outrageous action of Hupp in the second half was so plain that the duty of officials was also clear. Forkum had completed his long run of 10 yards and was resting easily with the ball where he had placed it behind the goal posts. Hupp happened along that way in a speedy manner and seeming to think State’s full-back a jumping mat at tempted to place both feet on his stomach. That finished Hupp. Morris took his place. A little after 3 o’clock W. & J. won the toss and Forkum kicked off to Simmons who ran the ball back egian. 15 yards to their 50 yard line. The Red and Black made the first down and was then forced to kick. Saun ders ran the ball back to the center of the field. Partridge gained two through tackle and Yeckley two around right end. Forkum punted 50 yards and the ball rolled over the goal line. Wright kicked out from the 25 yard line to Forkum, who made a 25 yard return. After a series of large gains Yeckley was shoved over for the first touchdov/n in minutes of play. Fork urn kicked the goal making the score: State 6 —W. & J. 0. Forkum again kicked off and Roy came back 20 yards. A fake kick netted W. &J. seven yards bur on the next play they fumbled, a State man falling on the ball. Moscrip made nine yards through right guard. After a number of plays Forkum punted 40 yards and again the ball rolled behind the goal posts. On the kick-out Forkum was downed at the center of the field. State made about 15 yards and then lost it for holding the line. The ball moved back and forth over a small area un til the end of the half when it was in State’s possession on W. & J.’s 45 yard line. Between the halves the band en gaged for the occasion by tire W. & J. students started to parade around the field. No Red and Black root ers accompanied it and the situation was quickly sized up by State alumni and students, who soon had a line be hind the band. When several W. S: J. students finally “butted in” they found the White and Blue heading the procession. After one round the band was recalled.
