The Game,
State 6, Dickinson 0, this is the
story of another glorious victory
over our ancient enemies from Car
lisle. It all happened at Williams
port last Saturday, and 8000 people
were there to see just how it was
done, among them almost one thous
and who waved banners of “White
and Blue,” and they surely had
ample opportunity to flaunt the
colors, and shout the praises of
“Old Penn Slate.” For truly, Cap
tain Yeckley and his men met a
most valiant foe, and most courage
ously did “Old State” struggle
f:r her victory. Never has a
Dickinson eleven opposed State with
more spirit and determination than
was displayed by Captain Davis’
team; and, with a perfectly dry field
and no wind,State simply won by
playing stronger, better football.
Robinson, Salter, Davis, and
Viebahn played magnificently for
Dickinson, while every son of “Old
Penn State” did noble work and
aided in the gaining of our proud
victory. Here is the detailed story
of the game:
FIRST HALF
Captain Davis kicked off for
Dickinson in splendid fashion, the
sailing far over State’s goal ball.
Miller, fc.r Slate, then kicked out
from the 25 yard line to Simpson in
mid-field, and Barr nailed him with
out gain. Robinson gained or.e yaid
at tackle, Klingstine 4, and Umpire
Dunbar allowed 5 more yards for
State’s offside play. Viebahn then
hit the line for 1, Robinson failed at
center, and the giant Davis fell back
for what proved to be a “fake”
kick. But our leader, Yeckley, was
into the play like a thunderbolt,

Railroad Accident,
The trip from Williamsport last
Saturday night was marred by an
accident on the Bellefonte Central
R. R. which might have resulted
fatally. As the train of ten coaches
drawn by two engines was rounding
the “Y”, the rails spread apart and
several coaches were deiai'ed. Eefore
the engines had gone very far the
train tore apart and the air brakes
stopped the coaches. This was the
only thing which saved the train
from being thrown over the embank
ment which at this point is about six
feet high.
This incident emphasises once
more the fact that the road bed of
the B. C. R. R. should be repaired
at once. At present, this railroad
is a menace to the traveling public.
Generator Installed
After much delay on the part of
the manufacturers the alternator to
furnish current tor the Nittany
Light Company has been installed.
The machine was built by the
Crocxer-Wheeler Company and has
a capacity of seventy-five kilo-volt
amperes. It is of the revolving field
type there being twenty-six poles in
number. It will furnish two phase
current at a pressure of twenty-three
hundred volts and a frequency of
sixty. A small four and a half kilo
watt four pole dynamo, made by
the same company, will furnish di
rect current for the fields and is con
nected to the generator by belt. A
complete discription of the new
plant will be given in a later issue.
The football game with the Uni
versity of West Virginia will be
played on Pennsylvania Day, Friday
instead of Saturday this week.

those who have seen this magnifi
cent structure no more need be said.
