THURSDAY, OCT. 26, 1905 EDITORIAL The showing made by our team against Yale last Saturday surprised us as much as it did the New Havenites. Of course we were con fident of doing better than we did last year but according to reports from all sides Yale was completely outplayed. As to the officiating we let the following extract from last Sunday’s Press talk for itself: “The officials favored Yale. To this the visitors often complained bitterly, and with justice.” Eut we will not dwell on that point. The boys played well. Coach Fennell is to be complimented on his ex cellent work. He left last week as election duties required his presence elsewhere for a fortnight; but he will return in good time to get the team in good shape for the Dickinson game. In a few days a large number of students will leave for their homes to cast votes at the coming election. At every occasion of this nature State is always well represented. Last year student political parties were organized in college and sev- THE STATE COLLEGIAN eral mass meetings, at which there were prominent speakers, were held. A quantity of political literature was distributed. One of the parties began taking steps toward register ing in the local district but- this was finally dropped. On the whole Elec tion Day not only gives the student a chance for him to do his duty as an American citizen but also affords him a much needed holiday. Our Opponents. The results of last Saturday’s games were probably more pleasing to the students of State College than to those of any other college whose team was defeated. Not only were we proud of the magnificent show ing made by our boys against what was, within a week, stated by foot ball critics to be the best team in the country, but as the results of other games came in : Carlisle 36-Dickin son 0, Cornell 30-Wup 0, etc. and it was seen that none of the smaller colleges had made nearly so good a showing, the enthusiasm grew to such a point that a parade and bon fire were absolute necessities. As to the game (?) at Harrisburg, per haps the less said the better. The Indians had it pretty much their own way. and, judging from respective showing made by State and Dickin son against the red skins we ought to win at Williamsport. The Cornell — Wup game, however, is a rather dif ferent matter. Wup held Cornell to one touchdown in the first half, and the fact that she weakened in the second half may be due to irregular ities in training that can be remedied by Thanksgiving day. The Villa nova team maintained its good record by defeating Pittsburg Lycenn 21-0. Although the Lycenn team is not an extremely strong team, it is com posed of good semi-professional players who had fully expected to down their eastern opponents, and were greatly chagrined at the result of the game. Villanova plays here on Saturday next and will undoubt edly give us another interesting game. “Pop” has full charge of the team now, the other coaches having left, and although a very busy man, he may be depended up on to keep up the same brilliant work that has already endeared him to State students and alumni.
