That Yale Game.
For the first time in “ Old Penn
State’s” football history we have
turned out an eleven fully able to
cope with Yale. Last Saturday at
New Haven our Varsity eleven not
only fought the sons of Old Eli to a
stand still, but outplayed them at
every point, and lost the battle only
through a couple of unfortunate
fumbles, and some decidedly in
competent woik on the part of
Referee Hammond. The New York,
Philadelphia, and New Haven pa
pers are a unit in declaring that
Siam’s superor play was deserving
of victoiy ; and cold facts show this
up very clearly, indeed, since
throughout the game State gained,
by rushing the ball, 203 yards while
Yale totaled only 110 yards, and in
two twenty minute halves State had
possession of the ball fully three
quarters of ihe time, thus placing
Yale on the defensive almost entire
ly. A3O yard run by Shevlin on a
fumble gave Yale a chance to score
in the first half, and another by
Jones made the trouble in the sec
ond period, while State reached
Yale’s twenty yard mark no less
than three times by the finest sort
of hard, consistent line-plunging, on
ly to lose the pig-skin on two tries
for goal from field, and the referee’s
elastic decisions. It was truly the
toughest sort of luck for “Old
State,” but her Varsity men fought
a grand fight, and have the satis
faction of knowing that even Yale
men acknowledged the superior
strength of the “ White and Blue.”
State’s giouncl gaining was done al
most entirely through the effective
line plunging of Captain Yeckley,
Miller, McGee, Gotwals and Ray,

The Lotus Glee Club Recital.
The first entertainment of the Y.
M. C. A course was given on Friday
evening by the Lotus Glee Club of
New York City. The recital con
sisted of quartettes and solos, to
gether with readings by Mrs. Minnie
Marshall Smith. The musical part
of the program was remarkably goed
and encoies were cal'ed for, both in
solos and quartettes. The cantata,
“The Grasshopper,” was extremely
funny and completely captured the
audience. Too much cannot be said
in praise of the work of Mrs. Smith,
the elocutionist, whose readings were
well chosen and spendidly executed,
and who received many encores. The
“Midnight Courtship” brought down
the house. Mr. Smith, at the piano,
played the accompaniments with
skill and a large part of the success
of the recital was due to him. Alto
gether the company is of a high or
der of excellence and the audience
was more than satisfied with this,
the first of the Y. M. C. A. enter
tainments.

A Record Breaker.
Very few have an idea of the
amount of food necessary to supply
one meal at the McAllister Dinning
Hall. Caterer Housel served twenty
eight hundred fried oysters at supper
last Sunday evening. It took just
forty minutes to fry and eat the
bivalves.

Reserves 35 —Bellefonte 0.
Our reserve football team, better
known as “the scrubs,” defeated
the Bellefonte Academy eleven in a
one sided game last Saturday after
noon. Although the Academy lads
did not make near the showing they
made last year they put up a plucky
fight. Their play showed the le
sult of good training and coaching
but they were entirely too light to
cope with the heavy scrub team
whjch daily lines up against the
Varsity. For Bellefonte none espe
cially excelled but all played good
consistant football. Their light
weight, however, handicapped them
too much.
For the reserves A. Yeckley played
a good game at quarter and showed
good generalship in directing the
players. ITargest at left half did
some good line plunging, while all
the line men seemed to be able to
break through at will. In the sec
ond half many substitutions were
made on the scrubs to give every
man a chance in the game. The
final score stood 35-0, twenty min
utes being the time for each half.
A large delegation accompanied the
Academy boys from Bellefonte.
Miners Feed
The Mining Engineering Society
banquetted at the Track House at

“Henny Scholl, ’Ol, who was guest
of the Miners for the evening, and
who told of his experiences as a
mining engineer in the west. Sev
eral members of the society also
gave short speeches, and the even
ing was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
