EDITORIAL
The stinging defeat suffered last
year at the hands of W. U. P. has
been wiped out. The team went to
Pittsburg, strong in mutual confi
dence, but not boasting of victory.
The boys knew they had a hard
game, but were determined to do
their best for State. It was this
spirit, team work, and better foot
ball that won the game. We have
now shown Pittsburg that State has
a better team than the much boasted
W. U. P.
This game closes a very success
ful season of which we may well be
proud. Of eleven hard games we
have won eight. The Collegian
extends to Captain Yeckley and his
team its congratulations for the suc
cessful season now past and the
glory that these loyal, hard workers
have given to our college.
The football season , although
now over at most colleges is still on
at old “State” and will be, until the
Freshman and Sophomore teams
meet in grim battle on Beaver Field.
The Collegian wishes to impress
upon every Freshman the importance
of this game. Its record of victory
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
or defeat once written upon the pages
ot your class history can never be
a’tered; and this same class history
with its varying records of success
and failure will, before you graduate
mean more to you than you can
realize to-day. The Sophomores
know this, and can be counted onto
produce a team that will play with
all the dashing courage that won a
game for them last year against
what seemed overwhelming odds.
It is too late now to urge men to
come out for the teams; but we can
say, and this particularly to Fresh
men because 'OB doesn’t need to be
told, that good rooting for a team
will often make good players out of
medium ones, and that no man
should do less than to stand on
those side lines and yell and cheer
his team so long as his voice holds
out. It will be a battle royal; it al
ways is; no class game within recent
years has been won bv more than
one touch down, and the side whose
rooting is most effective stands the
best chance to win. Again we say:
‘ root.”
Fewer students than usual spent
Thanksgiving at home this year.
Some of those who live in the west
ern part of the state had a special
inducement to go home, namely
the game with W. U. P., but the
greai majority of the students, how
ever, preferred to remain here on
account of the nearness of the
Christmas holidays, which are now
but two weeks off.
A. A. Meeting,
Owing to the unsettled condition
of affairs and the number of men
not yet returned from the Thanks
giving vacation, the regular election
set for Monday, Dec. 4 has been
postponed to Monday, Dec. 11.
The nominations were printed in last
week’s issue of this paper.

Pittsburgh Alumni Smoker
A particularly. enjoyable feature
of the recent Pittsburgh trip, and’
one which showed the loyalty and
spirit of the Pittsburgh alumni in a
very striking manner, was the
smoker and reception given by them
at the Monongahela club on Thanks
giving evening to all State ,men.
Fully two hundred alumni and stu
dents attended and enjoyed to the
highest degree the good fellowship
and general atmosphere of rejoicing
over State’s victory. Another fea
ture which deserves special men
tion is the excellent entertainment
and refreshments which were pro
vided.
Y. M. C. A. Social
The informal social given in the
Association room last Friday even
ing was a decided success. A large
number of students were present and
the evening was made to pass pleas
antly with games, conversation, and
a liberal supply of apples and pea
nuts.
Hays ’O6, gave a glowing account
of the W. U. P. game at Pittsburgh,
and Secretary Wilber told how Cor
nell held down Penn so pluckily at
Philadelphia.
The evening was one to be pleas
antly remembered in thoughts of
college life.
Basketball
Now that the football season is
over, basketball will hold the at
tention of the college. Manager
King has the schedule almost com
pleted. At the time of this writing
all but one of the dates for the
eastern trip are filled, and the
schedule for the western trip will be
finished in a few days. The first
game of the season will be played
with Juniata College at State on
Dec. 15. Geneva, Susquehanna and
W. U. P. will also be seen here
later on. The entire schedule will
probably be published in our next
issue.
