Base Ball
The record made by State’s Var
sity nine on their recent Eastern trip
is certainly a proud one. To begin
with the crack Villanova college nine
was defeated at Atlantic City,
“Birdie” Cree’s three base-hit
"helping some:” and then the
Princeton Tigers were once again
laid low by prowess of
mighty left wing. In the two games
a total of 27 hits were secured
among them five doubles, five
triples, and one home run. Such
batting as this surely stamps State’s
nine as one of the strongest hitting
teams on the college diamond and
after defeating the champion Prince
ton team, “the White and Blue”
certainly “looks as good” as any
thing in the land. At Princeton
State is rated as ‘ ‘terror with the
stick,” and Captain Ray’s men cer
tainly did make Don - Doyle, the
crack Princeton pitcher look pretty
sick. This victory of ours down at
Princeton is getting to be quite an
annual affair. The score.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., JUNE 8, 1905
The recent glorious victories of
our Varsity over Villanova and
Princeton call to mind the high
quality of all our athletic teams this
year. We might be pardoned per
haps for saying that without doubt
there never was a time when State’s
records were so high. The football
team was remarkably successful in
spite of a very hard schedule. The
team held “The Champions” to 6-0
and made a good showing at Yale.
Victories over U. W. Va., Gevena
and W. & J. were gratifying but the
greatest glory of all was the victory
at Williamsport. With Forkum out
of the game we defeated our stron
gest rival, Dickinson, by the decisive
score of 11-0. The team was in
bad shape when it played Annapolis
and a defeat at the hands of the
conqueror of Princeton was no dis
grace. The worst of all misfortunes
preceeded the Thanksgiving game
for nearly the whole team was sick
and W. U. P. got one of her few
victories over State.
The record of the basketball team
so far outclasses anything ever done
by State in that line that it stands
alone. The team was not content
with cleaning up in grand style those
opponents who came here, Altoona
A. A., Wyoming Seminary and
Dickinson, but defated the strong
teams of U. of P., F. & M., and
Dickinson on the Eastern trip, losing
only to Swarthmore. The record of
winning six victories and loosing only
one college game stands as a glory
for State.

Inter=Class Relay Race.
The inter-class mile relay race
was run on Beaver Field last Satur
day afternoon. The race was be
tween 1907 and 1908 as the Juniors
and Seniors had dropped out; al
though much amusement resulted
from the running of a ‘ ‘picked’ ’
Senior team consisting of Offutt,
Yoder, Forkum and McLaughlin.
The first quarter was taken by
Wright of 1908 who gave Hastings
about five yards start. ‘ ‘Jimmy’ ’
Long, however, recovered the lost
ground and gave Henry a good start.
Stapler finished for 1907 with a lead
of about fifty yards, the time being
3:32 3r5. This is the' best time
ever made on the track and would
stand as a record were it not for the
fact that the track is seventy-two
feet short to the mile. The teams
were: 1907, Stair, Long, Henry,
Stapler; 1908, Wright, Hastings,
Smith and Meckley.
