The great Indian game is over and everybody seems satisfied. Of course there are some of us who had some hopes of winning and many expected that we would score; but our boys played well and we are content. No serious mistakes were made on either side although neither team is as yet fully developed. It was the first real game for both teams this year and much valuable experience on both sides has prob ably been gained. We have much respect for the Indians’ strength and we recognize Woodruff as an ef ficient coach. We believe they have as good a team as there is in the state. The results for their games from now on will be watched with interest. The arrival of Coach Fennell, of Cornell, last week, who handled our team so well last year, makes our prospects still brighter. Fennell and Scholl, together with "Pop” Gold en will form a strong coaching staff and if there is anything in State’s football material, these men will THE STATE COLLEGIAN bring it out. From this game they can pick out weak spots and strengthen them so that by Thanks giving day we expect to have a team that will be able to wipe out the de feat administered at the hands of W. U. P. last year. Our Opponents Although the games of last Sat urday and the Saturday before, are scarcely a sufficient basis from which to draw positive conclusions as to the relative strength of State and the teams who will oppose us this season, one can compare scores and form opinions to some extent. Certainly all doubt as to the superi ority of Carlisle over our present team was removed when the Indians in the face of as plucky.and spirited a defense as any team ever put up crossed our line twice in the game at Harrisburg. The Indians are the real thing in football, and, judging from the rather ragged showing made by U. P. against Gettysburg, and Swarthmore it seems not un likely that Carlisle will be the cham pions of Pennsylvania this year. Mention of Gettysburg reminds us that on Saturday next State will face a really dangerous opponent on Beaver Field. The team that sccred on Penn will have every reason in the football world to expect to do the same thing or worse against us, and will undoubtedly give Captain Yeckley’s men a severe struggle to , win out. Another of our opponents that is showing up unusually strong this year is Annapolis. The Middies have the strongest team this season that they have had for several years and, while we will have a very good chance of winning from them, it will be far from a “cinch.” • Dickinson maintained her good showing by defeating Haverford 44-0. The “Red and White” have a splendid team this year and are in dulging in - fond dreams of adding another to the rather small number of their victories from State. We hope, however, it will turn out as is usual with dreams; quite the other way. Wup had what seems at first sight a narrow escape from defeat by Westminister College. When one considers, however, that Wup’s stars were not all in' the game, and and that, when defeat stared them in the face, the team succeeded in making two touchdowns in eight minutes it doesn’t look quite so bad. However it shows very clearly that Wup has not developed as yet as brilliant a team as that of last sea- ALUMNI A. S. Biesecker, ’O4, is working for the D. L. & W. R. R. at Scran ton. J. B.
