Football
In one of best games played on
Beaver Field for several seasons
State’s eleven downed Gettysburg
18 to 0 last Saturday. The Gettys
burg eleven came here with confi
dence in their ability to score on the
"White and Blue,”-—a feat which
they have never accomplished in our
14 years gridiron history with them.
Captain Sieber’s braves held Penn
16 to 6, and looked for better re
sults here, —the same which failed
to be produced, however, as our
Varsity scored thrice, while the
nearest Gettysburg came was on
Sieber’s two trys for field-goals
from the 40 yard line. Throughout
the contest Gettysburg made first
down only three times, while
they were very fortunate in keep
ing State’s team from getting at
least one more score. The contest
was hard fought and well-played on
both sides, the only marring feature
being the all too frequent fumbling
indulged in, especially by State’s
players. Here’s the story:
Captain Sieber for Gettysburg
kicked off to the yard line and Mc-
Gee came back 20 yards, and then
hit the centre for 2 more. Bill Wray
nipped 3at tackle, Gotwals 2, and
Yeckley hurdled for 4. Then Yeck
lost a yard on an end try, Cal Moor
head took 3 on quarter-back run,
and McGee punted for 35, "Gottie”
nailing Sieber hard the instant he
caught the oval. After Hill had
struggled for a yard’s gain at tackle,
Sieber punted 45 yards, and it was
Gettysburg’s ball on Moorhead’s
fumble. Swartz got 2 meters at
guard and Shearer one at centre.
Then Captain Sieber attempted a
field goal from State’s 40 yard line,
the kick being well directed but too

low. McGee kicked out from the 25
yard line for 45 yards, and Lam
mert got back 5, after which Sieber
scuttled around the end for 4 and
Hill barely made it first down, but
then failed to gain on the next try,
and Sieber booted the leather 40
yards, ‘‘a fair catch” to Moorhead.
Again "Puss” McGee kicked out
from the 25 yard mark for 40 yards,
and Hill went down for no gain un
der an avalanche of State tacklers.
Shearer lost a yard at Campbell’s
end, Sieber prodded tackle for 2,
and then punted 65 yards over
State’s line. Miller now took a turn
at kicking out from the 25 yard
boundary and Benner catching,
"Varsity” Barr threw him to earth
without gain. On their line-up Get
tysburg fumbled and Yeckley was
on the bail for State. And now the
White and Blue warriors got down
to business; Kunkle 3, then 5,
Yeckley 4, Wray 5, then 6, Miller
16, McGee 8, Wray 7, Putnam 4,
and Putnam 2 for the first touch
down, Don Miller kicking an easy
goal. Score 6to 0.
McGee kicked off to the 10 yard
line, Shearar darting back 10, but
the same lad couldn’t gain through
Gotwals, and Sieber lost 4 on Wray’s
grand tackle. Sieber punted 45 and
Yeck fumbled, but Campbell was on
the ball in record time. Here time
was taken out for the third time thus
for Gettysburg’s injured players.
With the ball in the middle of the
field, Miller led off for State with
an 8 yard end spurt, McGee
3. Putnam 4, and on a fumble
Gettysburg nipped the egg. Then
Campbell got Sieber for a loss,
and Gettysburg’s leader again did
the punting act, sending a pretty

One on “ Johnnie.”
It was below grade day. “John
nie” Kaiser, our track man, was
wending his way toward the Post
office to get his weekly letter from
his "best.” No thought of receiv
ing one of the official cards was in
"Johnnie’s” mind; no, no, he
doesn’t even know what one looks
like. With his hands in his pockets
and that “smile that won’t wear off”
on his face he walked up to his letter
box to receive the missive when —
horrors —a letter from the Secre
tary’s office. With abated breath
and trembling hands he tore open
the envelope and found a below
grade in Trig. In less time than
Pop Golden could say “get set’’
Johnnie was back at the window and
after much excited talking and undue
flourishing of his registration ticket
he succeded in persuading the post
office authorities that the letter be
longed to a freshman who bore the
same name as he.
